iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most frequently used baby products. They are durable and maintenance is simple. They also have high potential for circularity, if policies ensure that second-hand prams are repaired and redistributed to new parents.

Prams are specifically designed for babies and infants between six and six months old and usually include a bassinet or carrycot and lay flat. Some prams can be converted to fit a car-seat, so they are known as travel systems.

Parasol

A parasol is an umbrella that is attached to the frame of your pushchair to shade your baby and help prevent heat stroke. They are usually made of SPF/UPF 50+ fabrics and also provide protection against rain that is light. If your stroller does not have one, you can get one. You can also use the snooze shades, which attach to single prams and carrycots and block out sunlight from overhead.

You can also purchase a footmuff. It's soft blanket that has a waterproof cover that protects the legs of your baby from cold. Most manufacturers include a footmuff in their pram bundles or offer them separately in their accessories range. It is recommended to select one that comes with a quick-release clamp. This makes it simple to attach and take off.

Look for a model with four wheels if you are planning to use your pushchair in rough terrain. They are better at manoeuvring on uneven surfaces and have larger tyres that can withstand rocks and sharper objects. They weigh a bit more than pushchairs with three wheels, but still comparatively lightweight and easy to control.

It is important to regularly maintain your pushchair to ensure it runs smoothly and that your child is safe. Clean your pushchair with a baby wipe or a cloth that is soaked in warm soapy water. It's also a good idea to invest in an oil-based silicone lubricant for the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair. You should also tighten any loose screws. Consider a cleaning service for your pushchair that will be performed by a professional who will clean and examine your pushchair to ensure that it is operating in the way it should.

Footmuff

If you're looking for your first pushchair or pram or looking to upgrade your existing one, the iCandy collection has something to suit all families. You're sure to find something that fits your family's needs with the wide range of styles and colours.

Footmuffs can keep your baby warm in winter. They are made of fleece, and they're water-resistant. This makes them an excellent option for cold winter days. They're also cozy and comfortable, making them the perfect accessory for your baby. They're also very easy to use and are able to be fitted quickly. Be sure to check the size of your baby and stroller prior to fitting the footmuff. Otherwise, it might get tangled up or move around. This could pose an issue for safety, since it may be a barrier to your baby's face.

A footmuff can be a great addition to any pram or pushchair, particularly in warmer climates. It helps keep your baby's feet warm and cozy throughout the winter months and is easy to use. It's also simple to alter the temperature by closing or opening the zipper. Certain brands come with a hood to provide extra protection during storms.

It is essential to ensure that your baby is ready before purchasing an infant footmuff. Newborns need a hard mattress to support their back and the footmuff may be uncomfortable for them if it's too soft. Some types of footmuffs can be used from infants to toddlers and some even have a double zipper at the bottom to allow for more wear. They can be used for many years and are a good investment for parents.

Parent facing

Parents love the ability to keep eye contact with their child when using a pram that faces them. This visual connection can help build trust and security and can soothe toddlers and infants who are agitated. It also lets parents respond quickly to children's needs, whether they require reassurance or an ice cream.

Many parents utilize strollers for their infants, but as they grow older, they could switch to a pushchair. The primary difference between a pram and a pushchair is that a pram typically comes with a carry cot for newborns to sleep on and a frame to connect it to. A pram can recline and be made forward-facing or facing the parent. A pushchair on the other hand, is usually upright with no carry cot.

The selection of pushchairs and prams has been carefully chosen with your baby's needs in mind. Some of our models feature adjustable seats so you can recline the seat to allow your baby to nap, and then lift it back up to watch them enjoy the world. Some of our favourite pushchairs prams also have sun canopy to protect your little one from the elements.

When selecting a pushchair, make sure it is user-friendly and that the brakes function properly. It is also essential to make sure that the chassis is equipped with two locking mechanisms to stop it from folding whilst in use. Additionally, a good safety harness is essential for protecting your child's seat and preventing them from falling out of the pushchair. In addition to this pram blankets are often useful in keeping your child warm and safe from the weather. They are available in various colors and patterns to match your pushchair.

Ergonomic support

The ergonomic support provided by a pram is an important feature that helps reduce tension and back pain. It lets parents concentrate on their child and not worry about aching muscles. This feature allows parents and caregivers to maneuver the pram into tight spaces or over kerbs. It is particularly helpful for taller parents who might have difficulty reaching the handles on shorter pushchairs.

The support is built into the handlebars and is adjusted to the height of the parent. This makes it easy to use for various body types and to locate the most comfortable for the user. The ergonomic support helps parents to maintain a more natural posture and avoid injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and shoulder pain.

A pushchair or pram can be lifesaver for new parents because it allows them to explore the world with their baby. It's important that you ensure that your child is getting the most out of the time he spends in the pram or stroller with plenty of tummy-time and physical activity. Many children are injured by prams or strollers each year, and some even require hospital treatment for accidents resulting from these devices. When prams fall over or bags are hooked on handles, injuries can occur.

Some prams can be converted into a twin pushchair, making them an ideal choice for families with two babies. These prams come from a variety of top brands and include features such as reclining seats and raincovers. The inclusion of an ride-on board is helpful for older toddlers who could get tired of walking.

Ride-on board

New parents require pushchairs and prams. These handy strollers make getting around easy regardless of whether you're going to a baby and toddler group or going for an enjoyable stroll in the park. These strollers are also ideal for everyday outings and let you spend time with your child.

Choosing the right pram or pushchair for your child will depend on their age and needs. For babies and infants that are not yet able to walk, a pushchair with an infant carrycot is best. They can lie flat on their backs, which is great for their spine and lungs development. You can also purchase a ride-onboard that allows older kids to join in the fun.

If you're looking for a stroller that will adapt to your child's needs, consider a convertible pushchair. These offer multiple configurations and are great for twins or siblings of different ages. Some even come with a tandem formation, which makes them easier to manoeuvre and keep an eye on.

To avoid the growth of mould and mildew prams and strollers need to be regularly cleaned. The majority of the components can be cleaned by vacuuming them or wiping them with warm soapy-water and an absorbent towel. If you are concerned about the fabric of your pushchair, a cleaner spray is a good option.

If you're using a pushchair over rough terrain, be sure to check the tyres for puncture resistance. The best tyres have an outer layer of PU and EVA inside that are similar to air-tyres in feel but much more durable. You can also add hand muffs and mudguards to keep your child safe and dry. You can also utilize the stroller organizer to organize everything your baby needs. It's also worth checking the fold of the stroller to ensure it fits in your car's boot and takes up only a small amount of storage space at home.
