When choosing a pram, it's important to consider the overall dimensions. You do not want to be concerned about it taking up too much space in your home or car. Pick a model that is able to fold easily and is compact when collapsed to ensure it can fit. You can find out whether it is easy or difficult is by reading reviews (like the ones on MadeForMums).

Make sure that the pram you are considering is able to do this, and also that it is compatible with a car-seat in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels of a pushchair are what makes it move and what give your child the mobility they need. There are 3 common wheel types - rubber, foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has its pros and cons, based on what you intend to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only down side is that they could be punctured if inflated too much using the pump of a car tyre. However this usually happens caused by someone over inflating them and isn't a regular problem. This type of wheel is usually used on all-terrain buggies, as well as running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled making them lighter than rubber tyres. They don't have the same shock absorption capabilities and can sometimes feel more hard on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are seen more on strollers than prams and are typically the lowest cost option.

EVA, or Ethylene vinyl Acetate, is a material that has some properties of rubber and is lighter. It can be used in lieu of PU or rubber for low maintenance and to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

A strong and reliable brake system on your babiie stroller is an important feature and will safeguard your baby, you and other pedestrians. The majority of pushchairs have a brake pedal on the rear chassis. It is activated by pressing a lever, or button on the handlebars or by pressing down on your foot. The brakes should be simple to use and should be locked immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs have a brake on the middle wheel to provide extra stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that can be attached to the chassis of the pushchair. It is ideal for babies and infants between six and six months old. age, as they must lay flat in order to develop their spine and lung capacity. A carrycot-equipped pram is a great choice for parents with a limited space, a small boot or who use public transport often.

Some prams have an inbuilt carrycot that folds into the frame of the pushchair, so you can quickly switch between seat and carriage mode. This is an excellent option for families with a small car boot or who have to stroller travel by public transport a lot as it can save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly evaluated by MFM home testers and has won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a great choice for parents who are with a tight budget since it's not expensive, but is stylish and luxurious as well as being robust, lightweight and compact when folded.

This pram features lay-flat carrycots, fabric sling seats and a baby cooon to provide the perfect sleeping solution for twins.

It's also a smooth light-steering, nippy rider, which is perfect for urban areas. It is easy to navigate busy roads and pavements on the move. Additionally, it's extremely simple to install and comes with plenty of accessories like a rain cover, footmuff and hood.

Canopy

A canopy for prams will shield your child from the elements while offering a comfortable place for them to rest. It also helps prevent heat stroke and sunburn by blocking the harsh rays of the sun. Some models have a peekaboo window or unzip the back mesh so that you can observe your little snoozer without disturbing them.

A hood can be useful in winter as it protects your baby's delicate skin from cold winds and rain. Some models come with rain covers that is easily popped over the canopy of the pram, and secured with poppers.
