iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most frequently used baby products. They are durable and have simple maintenance processes. They are a great candidate for circularity, if policy interventions ensure that secondhand prams are repaired and re-distributed back to parents.

Prams are made for babies and infants between six and six months old and usually include a carrycot or bassinet and lay flat. Some prams are convertible and can fit carseats too, which is why they're referred to as travel systems.

Parasol

They are constructed of SPF/UPF50+ fabric and provide protection from rain that is light. A majority of pushchairs have a built-in sun canopy or a pram parasol that can be removed however if yours does not come with one, you can purchase an additional one.
