Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most used items of baby equipment you buy therefore it's essential to ensure it is comfortable for your little one. Look for models with comfy seat padding, adjustable handlebar height and a recline function to allow you to lay your child down. It's also worth checking that the pushchair can be placed in either 'parent-facing' (or rear-facing) or 'world facing', if your child is getting older and wants to observe what's happening around them.

The Graco Near2Me has an innovative feature that allows parents to keep their child close and keep eye contact. Jaya one of our testers, a parent, praised this as a wonderful option for newborns and infants.

When choosing a pram you should think about the overall size. You don't want to have to be concerned about it taking up too much room in your car or home. Select a model that can fold easily and is compact when folded to ensure it can fit. Find out how easy it is to fold it and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a clear impression of how easy or difficult it is to move, fold and store.

A quality pram should fold completely flat, allowing your baby to sleep comfortably during the first six months of their lives. This is vital for their development. Make sure that the pram sets you are looking at 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 travel pushchair are what allow it to move and give your child the experience they require. There are three standard wheel types: foam, rubber and EVA (a more durable plastic type). Each has its pros and cons depending on what you intend to use your pushchair.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only drawback is that they may be punctured if inflated too much using the pump of a car tyre. This isn't a typical 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 making them lighter than rubber tyres. They don't have the same shock-absorbing capabilities, and can feel harsher on rough concrete surfaces. They are often seen on strollers than prams and are usually the cheapest cost option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic that is lightweight and has some of the characteristics of rubber, but not as much. It can be used in lieu of rubber or PU to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the weight of your pram.

It is important to have reliable brakes in your pram. This will protect you your child, as well as other pedestrians. Most pushchairs have a brake pedal located on the rear of the chassis and can be activated by pressing a button or lever on the handlebars, or by pressing down with your feet. The brakes must be simple to use and should be locked immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs have a brake on the middle wheel to provide added stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pushchair. It's perfect for newborns and babies from 6 months to 6 years of age, as they have to lie flat in order to develop their spine and lungs. A pram with a carrycot is a great option for parents who are limited on space, have a small car boot or who use public transport often.

Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that can fold into the frame. This allows you to easily change between carriage and seat modes. This is a great option for families who have limited space in their car or who use public transport frequently. It can help you save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly reviewed by MFM home testers and has won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's a great choice for new parents on a budget as it's reasonably priced, yet is luxurious and looks. It's also durable, lightweight, and compact when folded.

Mountain Buggy Twin Plus, an elegant pushchair suitable for double or single use that can be used from birth. a carrycot is the best choice. This pram features lay-flat carrycots, fabric sling seats and a baby cooon to provide the ideal sleeping solution for your twins.

Canopy

A pram canopy is perfect to shield your child from the elements and also providing an inviting place to relax. It can also prevent sunburns and heatstroke by blocking the harsh rays from the sun. Some models have an open or mesh back section that you can detach to monitor the snoozer's tiny eyes.

In winter, a hood is an excellent way to shield your baby's delicate skin from the elements and rain. Some models come with rain covers that is easily popped over the canopy of the pram, and secured with poppers. You can also buy a separate umbrella that attaches by magnets to the pram, and is easy to fold away when not in use.

Whichever model you choose, pram or pushchair, choosing the most suitable model is a crucial choice that you will use regularly for years to come. As your baby grows and develops you'll want to make sure they are secure and comfortable on every journey. A good quality pram/pushchair is one that can help your baby's spine stay in a comfortable position and keep them from becoming tired when they take long walks or bumpy rides.

Stores

There are numerous options for storage options for prams depending on your budget as well as the space available. A shed is an excellent option if you have the space, as it will shield the pram from damage caused by weather and keep it away from the path when it's not being used. This is a great option if your area experiences frequent rain or snow.

A shed is made of metal or wood, and is equipped with a door that permits easy access. It may also have a lock or other security features. A garage is another popular option, as it provides protection from the elements and be close to your car if you're using it for transport.

If you do not have a garage or shed, you can put your pram in a closet in your home. It will be hidden and you won't see it when you walk into the house or the nursery. However, it could be difficult to access if you have guests coming over.

You'll need to regularly clean your pushchair if want to maintain it. This will ensure it is clean and free from stains and mildew. Start by vacuuming the hood using an attachment small in size, or rinsing in cool, soapy water. Then, you can work on any stains with a fabric brush or gentle sterilising solution. Be sure to dry your fabric outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase an item that can help remove stubborn stains and leave your stroller looking like new again.
