What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

If you're in the market for a pushchair, pram or buggy, there are lots of considerations to make. Consider how much you'll need to spend on a buggy, whether you want it to be smaller or more spacious and how easy the buggy is to clean.

Look for models with the ability to adjust to multiple positions and a newborn carrycot or bassinet. Check if they lie completely flat, as this is crucial for the development of your baby's spine.

Safety

It is essential to adhere to safety guidelines while out with your baby in a pram or pushchair. This will ensure that your child is secure and comfortable. Be sure to check the stroller or pushchair's weight limits to prevent overloaded vehicles as it could cause result in damage or instability. Avoid putting pillows or blankets in the pram as this could be dangerous for your child, particularly if they have an accident. Don't let older children climb on the pram or stroller as it could pose a risk.

Choose a stroller that has extra padding, particularly in the headrest, to shield your child from hitting objects when out and about. It's also an ideal idea to pick an infant stroller with cushioned headrests as it will help protect your child from bumping into things while out and out and about.

Some pushchairs and prams have bassinets that allow newborns to lay flat, in a cocoon of comfort. Others will have a carrycot that is removed once your baby is old enough to sit. Some prams will also have an infant seat that can be switched between two modes as your baby develops.

Many pushchairs and prams can be folded down to a smaller size when not in use. This makes them much easier to store in the car boot or to transport them on public transport. It is worth assessing the size of the pushchairs when folded as this could be a big difference when you have to squeeze them in small spaces or climb up and down the stairs.

If you plan to take your pushchair travel system or pram into rougher terrain such as parks, fields or even on beaches, it is recommended to find models with off-road wheels as this will be more suitable for these types of environments. Check to see if the wheels have air in them since they will be able to easily move over rough terrain and will not puncture.

For hot days, a parasol that attaches to the frame of the pushchair, or a sunshade can help to keep your baby safe from overheating, and also provide shade. These can be purchased separately or as a set of accessories for your pushchair. There are many styles and colours available.

Comfort

A great pram should be comfortable to push for both you and your baby. A soft cushioned seat liner, adjustable settings to allow your newborn to lay flat or sway slightly (good prams for those with reflux) and a wide sun canopy are all useful. Look for a suspension that smooths the ride and a receptive brake system so you can stop quickly if you need to.

It's essential that your pushchair is able to accommodate this position for the initial few weeks. Many frames come with the newborn carrycot, which can be converted to a reclining seat once your child is old enough. This allows you to have both a stroller and pram within the same frame.

You'll also need to think about your needs when choosing a pram, like whether it's simple to manoeuvre and what sort of storage space you need. It's worth visiting a shop where you can test drive various prams or pushchairs to see how they feel and how they fold. It's also recommended to look over any accessories you'd like, such as an armband, a seat liner and fans that can help your baby remain cool in summer or warm in winter.

Also, think about the overall style of your stroller - is it a good fit for your lifestyle and personality. You'll be using your pushchair for many years, so pick a colour or print that you will not regret.

A lightweight pushchair with puncture-proof tyres, big bouncy suspension and a hood can be pulled down to shield your baby from the elements is our Goldilocks of pushchairs, providing the perfect amount of comfort for both your child and you. With a stylish and sophisticated brushed twill fabric, faux-leather handles and leatherette trims, it has a traditional feel, but it also looks fresh and modern. It is also very reasonably priced and comes with a range of useful accessories.

Practicality

The terms pushchair, pram buggy, pram and travel system are often used interchangeably but it's important to choose one that suits your needs and fits your lifestyle. You'll be able to move around on public transport as well as in your car at home if you choose models that fold. If you decide to buy a pram or travel system with a separate baby seat then ensure that it snaps easily onto the chassis and can be removed without disturbing your baby (especially in the case of sleep).

Many prams come with an ample storage basket beneath that will keep your shopping bags, bags and nappies in reach. The wheels are typically rotate, making it easier to maneuver and steer in narrow aisles of shops or in areas with a lot of people, such as parks and beaches. If you plan to use the scooter in the countryside, you might prefer a model that has large all-terrain tires that can handle rough terrain and muddy trails.

A pushchair or stroller is lighter than a traditional pram, and the seat can be adjusted into different positions. This is ideal for babies who can sit up or newborns. They usually have a large canopy that will provide your child or toddler protection from the sun and some models might also be suitable for use in rainy weather.

Take note of how heavy the model will be and whether you can carry it safely into your car boot, or up the steps (with or without a baby inside). - especially as they will become heavier with time. It could be worth spending a little extra to get a washable cover that makes cleaning up spillages or leaks from nappy diapers quick and easy. You should also test drive any strollers or prams you're considering buying to determine how they move and feel and also to determine how easy they fold and transport. It is also a good idea to see whether the handlebars feel comfy to you.

Cleaning

Regularly cleaning your pushchair will lower the risk of mildew or mould. This means cleaning any fabric components as soon as they are dirty and giving them a full wash every couple of weeks or so. Regularly using a deodoriser or fabric freshener will help keep odours away and help prevent the build-up of grime which can lead to mould spores.

It's a great idea to remove any covers or padding prior to beginning cleaning your pushchair. This will make it easier to clean and access those difficult to reach places like the canopy, hood or support for the seat. Choose a place that is well-ventilated and lay down a sheet to protect the floor. This will make cleaning it simpler. It's also recommended to use a vacuum cleaner equipped with a nozzle that is flexible to get rid of any food or dirt that may be trapped in the nooks and crannies.

If your pushchair is equipped with removable fabric sections, check the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and wash them in accordance with the instructions (either by hand or in the washing machine). If you want to wash the majority of your fabrics in prams, you can use an aqueous solution that is made up of warm water, mild soap or mild detergent. However, it is always recommended to check the fabric's the colorfastness prior to using any cleaning products since some chemicals can cause damage or bleaching to delicate fabrics.

Stubborn marks and stains are often cured by adding a small amount bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is an effective stain remover that can eliminate all kinds of odours such as those caused by milk or urine. It also assists in removing any soap or detergent residues. After you're done, rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove any soap residues and hang it to dry. Try to hang it outside since sunlight acts as a natural fabric softener and a gentle disinfectant.
