What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

Whether you're looking for a pram, pushchair or buggy, there are lots of considerations to make. Think about how much you can afford for a product, if you're looking for something smaller or larger, and how easy it will be to clean.

Look for models that have an adjustable reclining seat that can adjust to multiple positions and a newborn carrycot or bassinet. Be sure to check if they are flat, as this is crucial for your baby's developing spine.

Safety

It is important to follow safety guidelines while out with your child in a pram or pushchair. This will ensure that your child is secure and at ease. Make sure you know the stroller's or pushchair's weight limits for carriages to avoid overloaded vehicles as it could cause result in damage or instability. Avoid placing blankets or pillows in the pram since this could be dangerous for your child, especially when they suffer an accident. Similarly, don't allow older children to climb on the pram or stroller as it could pose a risk.

It's also a good idea to look for a pushchair twin that has additional padding, particularly in the area of the headrest. This will help to keep your child safe from bumping into things whilst out and around. It's also an ideal idea to pick an infant stroller with padded headrests, as it will help protect your child from bumping into things while out and out and about.

Some prams and pushchairs have a bassinet attachment that is perfect for infants to lie flat in the comfort of a cocoon and be comfortable. Some prams and pushchairs come with a carrycot which can be removed once your baby is able to sit up. Some prams will also have seats that can be switched between the two modes as your baby grows.

Many prams and pushchairs can be folded down to a compact travel stroller size when they are not in use. This makes them easier to put in your car boot, or to transport them on public transport. Check how compact they are folded. This can be a huge difference when you need to squeeze them into small spaces or up and over stairs.

If you are planning to take your pram or stroller into more rough terrain, such as parks or fields or even the beach, it's ideal to select an option with off-road wheels. These are better suited to these types of environments. Check that the wheels are filled with air as this will make them easier to travel over rough terrain and not puncture easily.

For hot days, a parasol that is attached to the frame of the pushchair or a sunshade can help to protect your baby from overheating and provide the needed shade. You can purchase these items separately or as part of a pushchair accessories set, with several styles and colours to pick from.

Comfort

A quality pram should be comfortable to push for both you and your baby. A softly cushioned seat liner, adjustable settings to allow your newborn to lay flat or sway slightly (good for those with reflux) and a large sun canopy are all useful. Look for suspension that allows for a smooth ride and a responsive brake system to stop quickly when needed.

It's essential that your pushchair is able to accommodate this position for the initial few weeks. A lot of frames come with a newborn carrycot that converts to a reclining seat once your child is old enough. This allows you to use a stroller as well as pram in the same frame.

When choosing a pushchair you'll need to think about your needs, like how it's maneuverable and how much storage space you need. It's a good idea to visit a shop where you can test drive various prams or pushchairs to test how they feel and fold. It's also an excellent idea to look over any accessories you might want including an armband, a seat liner and fans that will help your baby stay cool in summer or warm in winter.

You'll also want to consider the overall design of your stroller - does it fit your personality and lifestyle. You will be using your pushchair for several years, so make sure you pick an option that you will not regret.

Practicality

It's common to hear the terms pram, buggy, travel system, and pushchair thrown around, but it's important to choose one which best suits your requirements and lifestyle. Choose models that fold down to smaller sizes because this can be helpful when you're taking it on public transport and in your car's boot or storage space at home. If you decide to buy a pram or a travel system that has a separate baby seat, ensure that it snaps on easily to the chassis and can be detached without disturbing your baby (especially if they're sleeping).

A lot of prams have an ample storage basket beneath that will keep your shopping bags, bags and nappies in reach. They also typically have swivel wheels, which allow them to maneuver and steer in narrow shop aisles, or to change direction in crowded areas like beaches and parks. If you intend to use it in the countryside then you may want to consider an all-terrain model with big tires that can withstand rough terrain and muddy paths.

A stroller or pushchair is lighter than a pram and provides the convenience of the ability to have a seat that is adjusted to multiple positions which is ideal for newborns or babies who can sit up. They typically have a wide canopy which will offer your baby or toddler with protection from the sun, and some models may also be suitable for use in the rain.

Think about how heavy the model will be and if you are able to safely lift it into your car boot or up the stairs (with or without a baby inside). - especially as they will become heavier with time. It's worth investing in a machine-washable cover to make it easy to clean spilled or nappy-soaked liquids. You should also test drive any strollers or prams you're considering buying to test how they feel and move, as well as to see how easy they fold up and transport. You might also want to check if the handlebars are comfortable to hold.

Cleaning

The quickest way to reduce the risk of mould and mildew is to wash your pushchair frequently. This means wiping down any fabric parts when they become dirty and giving them a thorough wash every two weeks or as often. Using a deodoriser or fabric freshener on a regular basis can also help reduce odours and prevent the build-up of grime that can lead to the development of mould spores, as well as an unhygienic living space for your baby.

Before you start to clean your pushchair it is recommended to remove any toys, and to take off any padding or covers that you can remove. This will allow you to clean the hard-to-reach places, such as the canopy or hood. The next step is to select an area with good ventilation to work in and lay down sheets or tarps to protect the floor and make cleaning as easy as you can. Utilize a vacuum cleaner with an nozzle that is flexible to get rid of any food or dirt that may have been trapped in the crevices and corners.

If you have an infant stroller with removable fabric parts, then begin by checking the manufacturer's care instructions and washing them according to the recommendations (either in the machine or by hand). If you're looking to wash most fabrics in prams, you can use a solution consisting of warm water, mild soap or mild detergent. However, it's recommended to check the fabric's the durability of its colour before applying any cleaning product as certain chemicals can bleach or damage delicate fabrics.

Stains and marks that stick to the surface can often be tackled by adding a small amount of bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is an effective stain remover and can lift various types of odours including those caused by urine or milk. It also helps remove any residues of detergent or soap. After you've finished, wash the fabric thoroughly to remove any soap residue, and hang it to dry. Try to hang it outside as the sunlight acts as natural softener for fabric and an effective disinfectant.
