What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

If you're in the market for a pushchair, pram or a buggy there are a lot of considerations to make. Think about the amount you're willing to spend, whether you'd prefer a compact buggy or something larger and how easy to clean it.

Look for models that have a reclining seat that can be adjusted to several positions, and the option of a carrycot or bassinet to newborns. Make sure they are flat as this is important for your baby's growing spine.

Safety

When you are out and about with your child in a pushchair or pram, it's important that you adhere to safety guidelines to ensure your baby is safe and secure. Be sure to check the stroller or pushchair's weight limits for carriages to avoid overloaded vehicles as it could cause result in damage or instability. Avoid putting blankets or pillows in the pram because they could pose a risk for your baby, particularly when there is an accident. Don't allow older children to use the stroller or pram as this could pose a danger.

It's also an excellent idea to search for a pushchair that has extra padding, especially in the area of the headrest. This can help protect your child from crashing into objects when out and around. A parent facing mode is also an excellent option as it allows it to be quick and easy for you to check on your child and ensure that they are at ease and happy.

Some pushchairs and prams have a bassinet attachment that is perfect for infants to lay flat on 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. Some prams may also include an infant seat that can be moved between these two modes as your child grows.

Many pushchairs and prams are designed to fold down into smaller sizes when not in use, which makes them easy to store and transport in your car boot or on public transport. It is worth assessing the size of the pushchairs when folded, as this can make a difference when you need to squeeze them into small spaces or climb up and down stairs.

If you are planning on taking your pushchair or pram into more difficult terrain like fields, parks or even on beaches, it is a good idea to choose models with off-road wheels because they are better suited to these kinds of environments. Check that the wheels have air in them because this will enable them to easily move over rougher terrain and not puncture.

For sunny days the parasol that attaches to the frame of the pushchair, or a sunshade will help to shield your child from overheating and provide much-needed shade. You can purchase them either separately or as part of a pushchair accessories set, with a variety of styles and colours to choose from.

Comfort

A quality pushchair or pram should be comfortable for both your baby and you to push. Soft padded seat liners and adjustable settings that permit your baby to lie flat on their back or sit up slightly to ease reflux and a large sun canopy are all helpful. Look for a suspension system that will make the ride smoother and a brake system that is flexible so that you can stop quickly in a situation of emergency.

Newborns need to be in a completely flat position to aid in their developing spine and therefore it's essential to make sure your pushchair can do this during the first few months. Many frames come with a carrycot for newborns, which then switches to a reclining seat once your baby is old enough. This means you can have both an infant pram and a pushchair within the same frame.

You'll also need to consider your requirements when choosing a pram, such as whether it's easy to manoeuvre and what sort of storage space you need. It's worth visiting a shop that lets you test drive different pushchairs or prams to feel how they behave and fold. It's also a good idea to research any accessories you'd like to purchase, such as a footmuff, seat liner and fans that can help your baby stay cool in summer and warm in winter.

You'll also want to consider the overall design of your stroller - does it fit your lifestyle and personality. You will be using your running pushchair for a number of years, so pick a colour or print that you won't regret.

A lightweight pushchair with puncture-proof tyres, big bouncy suspension and a hood that you can pull down to protect your child from the elements is our Goldilocks of pushchairs. It offers the perfect amount of comfort for both your child and you. It has a sophisticated and stylish brushed twill, with faux leather handles and leatherette trimmings. It has a classic appearance, but it also looks contemporary and contemporary. It is also very reasonably priced and comes with a range of useful accessories.

Practicality

The terms pushchair, pram, buggy and travel system are often used interchangeably but it's crucial to pick one that is suitable for your requirements and is compatible with your lifestyle. You'll find it easier to move around on public transport as well as in your car at home if you choose models that fold up. If you opt for an infant pram or travel system with an infant seat, be sure it can be easily attached to the chassis without waking up your baby.

Many prams come with an ample storage basket beneath which helps keep your shopping bags, bags and nappies within reach. They also have swivel wheels which make them easy to manoeuvre and steer in narrow shop aisles, or to turn around in crowded places like beaches and parks. If you intend to use it in the countryside, you might want a model with large all-terrain tires that can withstand muddy walks and rough terrain.

A pushchair or folding stroller is lighter than a pram and offers the convenience of seats that can be adjusted to a variety of positions, which is perfect for newborns or babies who can sit up. A large canopy can shield your child from the sun. Certain models are suitable for rain.

Consider how heavy the model is and then consider if you are able to comfortably lift it in and out of your car's boot or up the steps to your home (with or without your child inside!) - especially as they will increase in weight over time. It might be worth paying a little extra for a machine washable cover that makes cleaning up spills or nappy leaks quick and simple. It's a good idea to test any prams or pushchairs you're thinking of buying to see how they feel and move and how they fold and carry. You may also want to check if the handlebars feel comfortable to you.

Cleaning

The quickest way to reduce the chance of mildew and mould is to clean your pushchair regularly. This should include cleaning any fabric components when they become dirty and giving them a full wash every two weeks or so. Using a deodoriser and/or fabric freshener regularly can help keep odours at bay 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 begin cleaning your pushchair It's recommended to clear away any toys, and to take off any padding or covers that you can remove. This will allow you to access and clean those difficult to reach places like the canopy, hood or seat supports. Next, choose an area which is well-ventilated and lay down a sheet to protect the floor. This will make cleaning simpler. Make use of a vacuum cleaner that has an nozzle that is flexible to get rid of any food particles or dirt that may have gotten caught in the crevices and nooks.

If your foldable pushchair is equipped with removable fabric sections, make sure you read the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and wash them according to the directions (either by hand or by washing in a machine). Otherwise, it is generally safe to make use of warm water and gentle soap (or a mild detergent) on all fabrics used in pushchairs. However, it is recommended to examine the fabric for colourfastness before using any cleaning products as certain chemicals may cause damage or bleaching to delicate fabrics.

Add a small amount to the wash to remove stubborn marks and stains. This is a powerful stain remover that will lift many types odours including those caused by urine or milk. It will also help remove any soap or detergent residues. After washing, rinse the fabric well to remove any soap residues and hang it to dry. Do this outside, since sunlight is a natural conditioner and disinfectant.
