A great travel system that allows you to be 'future-proof' by incorporating an appropriate car seat and carrycot. It folds easily using just one hand and is free-standing when collapsed.

Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment you buy therefore it's essential to ensure it's comfortable for your little one. Look for models that have adjustable handlebars, comfortable seats padding, and a recline function to allow you to lay your child to sleep. Make sure the pushchair comes with a 'parent facing (or rear facing) or 'world-facing' feature in case your child wishes to see more of what's happening around them.

The Graco Near2Me comes with a neat feature that allows parents to keep their baby close and maintain eye contact. This is a wonderful option for babies and newborns and was highly praised by our tester for parents Jaya as a wonderful method to make your child feel special and loved.

It is crucial to consider the overall size of the pram when selecting, as you do not want it to take up too much space in your car trunk or your living area. Select a model that can fold easily and compact when folded to ensure it can fit. You can check the ease or difficulty it is by reading reviews (like those found on MadeForMums).

A quality pram should fold flat, allowing your baby to lay comfortably during the first six months of their life. This is essential for their development. Make sure that the pram you are considering can do this, and also that it is compatible with a car-seat in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels of a pram pushchair are what allow it to move and provide your child the ride they need. There are three wheel types - rubber, foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each wheel type has pros and cons depending on how you intend to use your stroller.

Rubber wheels are the most popular and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only drawback is that they could be punctured if inflated too hard with an auto tyre pump. This is not a common problem, and is usually caused by who has inflated the wheels too much. This wheel type is commonly used on all-terrain buggies as well as buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are filled with foam, so they are lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock absorbing ability and can feel more hard on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more often seen on prams rather than strollers and are usually the cheapest cost option.

EVA, or Ethylene vinyl Acetate, is a material that has the characteristics of rubber and is lighter. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram due to its ease of maintenance and weight reduction.

The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your pram is an important feature and will safeguard your baby, you and pedestrians. Most pushchairs feature a brake pedal on the rear of the chassis. It is activated by pressing a lever, or button on the handlebars, or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes should be simple to operate and should lock immediately after you press them. Some pushchairs have a mid-wheel brake for more stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a user-friendly portable cot that is able to be attached to the chassis of any pushchair. It's perfect for newborns and babies up to six months of age, since they need to lay flat in order to develop their spine and lung capacity. A carrycot in a pram is an excellent option for parents who are short in space and have a tiny car boot, or who take public transport often.

Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that folds into the frame. This allows you to quickly switch between the seat and carriage modes. This is a great choice for families who have a small car boot or frequent public transport. It will save you time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has scored well with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's an excellent choice for parents on a tight budget, since it's reasonably priced, yet is luxurious and looks. It's also sturdy and light when folded.

Canopy

A pram canopy is great to shield your child from the elements and also providing a cozy place for them to relax. It also helps prevent sunburn and heat stroke by blocking the harsh sun's rays. Some models feature a mesh back or peekaboo section that can be unzipped to monitor the tiny snoozer.

In winter, a hood can be a great way to protect your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Certain models come with rain covers that can be easily put over the canopy of the pram and secured with poppers. Alternatively, you can purchase an umbrella that is attached to the pram using magnets and is easy to remove when not in use.

Your pushchair or pram for many years to come, so selecting the best prams one is a critical decision. As your baby grows and develops, you'll want to ensure that they are secure and comfortable on every trip.

Storage

There are many options for storage for prams, based on your budget and the space available. A shed is an excellent option if you have the room, as it will shield the pram from weather damage and keep it away from the path when it's not in use. It's also a good option if you live in an area with frequent snowfall or rainfall.

A shed is typically made out of metal or wood and has a door that allows easy access. It can also include locks and other security features. Garages are a popular option as it provides protection from the elements while remaining close to your car, if you're using it for transportation.

If you don't have a garage or shed, you can keep your pram in a closet in your home. It will be kept out of the way and you won't have to see it when you enter your house or the nursery. It may be difficult to reach if you are hosting guests.

You'll need to clean your pushchair if you wish to keep it in good condition. This will keep it looking great and free of stains and mildew. Start by vacuuming the hood with an attachment small in size or by rinsing it with cool, soapy water. Next you can tackle any stains using a fabric brush or a gentle solution for sterilising. It is essential to dry the fabric thoroughly outdoors to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy a cleaner to remove stubborn stains, making your pushchair look like new.
