iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are one of the most commonly used baby products. They are durable and come with simple maintenance procedures. They also have high potential for circularity if policies are in place to ensure that secondhand prams are refurbished and distributed to new parents.

Prams are designed for babies and newborns up to six months They usually come with a bassinet or carrycot and lay flat. Some prams can be converted and can be fitted with a car seat too so they're known as travel systems.

Parasol

Parasols are umbrellas that clip onto the frame of a pushchair. They provide shade for your child and can prevent heatstroke. They are typically made of SPF/UPF 50+ fabrics and can also offer protection against rain that is light. If your stroller doesn't come with one, you can get one. You can also use a snooze shade, which attaches to the seat of your carrycot or single pram and blocks out overhead sunlight.

You can also purchase a footmuff. It's soft blanket that has a waterproof cover that protects your baby's legs from cold. A majority of brands sell them separately or include them in their pram pushchair bundles. It is recommended to select the one with an easy-release clamp. This makes it simple to attach and take off.

Look for a model with four wheels if you intend to use your pushchair on rough terrain. They are better at manoeuvring on uneven surfaces, and also have larger tyres that can handle sharper and harder objects. They are a bit heavier than pushchairs with three wheels, but are relatively lightweight and easy to move.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your pushchair to ensure that it runs smoothly and keeps your child safe. Clean your pushchair using an infant wipe or cloth dipped in warm soapy water. It is also recommended to invest in a silicone lubricant that will lubricate the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair. Tighten any loose screws. Consider a cleaning service for your pushchair where a professional will clean and examine your pushchair to ensure it's operating as it should.

Parents are delighted to be able to maintain eye-contact with their child when using prams that face them.

Many parents use a stroller for their infants, but as they grow older, they might switch over to the pushchair. A pram is different from a pushchair in that it typically has an infant carry-cot and frames to fix it. A pram can recline and be made forward-facing or parents-facing. A pushchair, on the other hand, is usually upright with no carry cot.

It is essential to balance the time your child spends in the pram or stroller with plenty of tummy-time as well as physical exercise. Every year, many children are injured in prams or strollers. Some even need hospitalization after falling off these devices. Accidents can happen when strollers tip over or when bags are tied onto the handles.
