What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

If you're in the market for a pram bag, pushchair or a buggy, there are lots of things to think about. Think about the amount you're willing to spend, whether you want an e-bike that is compact strollers or larger and how easy it will be to clean.

Look for models that have an reclining seat that has various positions, as well as a bassinet or carrycot for newborns. Make sure they are flat because this is essential for the spine development of your baby.

Safety

When you are out and about with your baby in a pram or pushchair it is important to follow safety guidelines to ensure your little one is comfortable and safe. Be sure to check the stroller or pushchair's weight limits for carriages to avoid overloading as this could damage or cause instability. Avoid putting pillows or blankets in the pram since they could pose a risk to your child, especially if they have an accident. Also, don't let older children play on the pram bag or stroller as this could pose a danger.

Find a pushchair that has extra padding especially in the headrest, to protect your child against hitting objects when out and around. A child-facing mode is also a good option since it allows it to be quick and easy to monitor your child and ensure that they are happy and comfortable.

Some pushchairs and prams come with the bassinet attachment, which is ideal for newborns to lie flat in the comfort of a cocoon and be comfortable. Some prams and twin pushchairs include a carrycot that can be removed once your baby is able to sit up. Some prams also come with a seat unit which can be switched between two modes as your baby grows.

Many pushchairs and prams are designed to fold down into small dimensions when they are not in use, making them easier to store and carry in your car boot or on public transport. It is worth assessing the size of the pushchairs when folded. This could be a big difference when you need to squeeze them into tight spaces or up and down stairs.

If you are planning to take your stroller or pram into more rough terrain, like fields or parks or even at the beach, it is best to choose an option with off-road wheels. These are the best wheels for these kinds of terrains. Make sure that the wheels are air-filled since this will allow them to move easily across rough terrain without having to puncture.

For hot days, a parasol that attaches to the frame of the pushchair or a sunshade is a great way to keep your baby safe from overheating and provide the needed shade. You can buy these separately or as part of the pushchair accessories set with a variety of styles and colours to pick from.

Comfort

A great pram bag should be easy to push for you and your baby. A softly padded seat liner, adjustable settings that allow your newborn to lay flat or sit up slightly (good for those with reflux) and a large sun canopy are all useful. Look for a suspension that smooths the ride and a responsive brake system so you can stop quickly if you need to.

Newborns require a flat, fully lying position to support their growing spine and therefore it's essential to make sure your pushchair is able to do this for the first few months. Many frames come with a newborn carrycot that converts to a reclining chair once your child is old enough. This lets you use a stroller as well as pram in the same frame.

When choosing a pushchair you'll have to think about your needs, like how it's maneuverable and how much storage space you require. It's a good idea to visit a shop that lets you test drive different pushchairs or prams to feel how they behave and how they fold. It's also an excellent idea to look over any accessories you might want including an armband, a seat liner and fans that help your baby stay cool in summer or warm in winter.

Lastly, you'll want to think about the overall design of your pushchair. Does it fit your personality and lifestyle? You'll be using it for a long time, so try to choose a print or colour that doesn't get old or leave you regretting your choice.

A lightweight pushchair with puncture-proof tyres that are big and bouncy, suspension and a hood that can be pulled down to shield your baby from the elements is our Goldilocks of pushchairs, providing just the right balance of comfort for your child and you. With a smart and sophisticated brush twill fabric that has a faux-leather handle and leatherette trims that have a traditional appearance, but is also modern and fresh. It is also very reasonably priced and comes with an assortment of useful accessories.

Practicality

It's common to hear the terms buggy, pram, pushchair and travel system thrown around, but it is important to choose one which suits your needs and lifestyle. You'll find it easier to transport on public transportation as well as in your car at home if you opt for models that fold up. If you opt for an infant stroller or a travel system with a separate baby seat then ensure that it snaps easily onto the chassis and can be detached without disturbing your baby (especially in the case of sleep).

Many prams come with a large storage basket under which helps keep your shopping bags, bags and nappies in reach. The wheels usually swivel, making it easy to maneuver and steer them in narrow aisles in shops or in crowded areas like parks and beaches. If you plan to ride the scooter in the countryside, you may prefer a model that has large all-terrain tires that can withstand muddy paths and rough terrain.

A pushchair or stroller is lighter than a traditional pram and the seat can be adjusted into different positions. This is ideal for babies who can sit up, or for newborns. They usually have a large canopy that will provide your child or toddler protection from the sun and some models might also be suitable for use in rainy weather.

Consider how the model weighs and whether you can carry it safely into the car boot or up the steps (with or without a baby inside). - especially as they will increase in weight over time. It may be worth paying more for a machine washable cover that makes cleaning up spills or leaks from nappy diapers quick and easy. It's recommended to try out any prams or pushchairs you're considering buying too, so that you can see how they feel and behave and also how easy they are to fold and transport. You may also want to see whether the handlebars are comfortable to hold.

Cleaning

The quickest way to reduce the risk of mildew and mould is to wash your pushchair frequently. This includes wiping down any fabric components immediately after they become dirty and giving them a full wash every two weeks or so. Using a deodoriser or fabric freshener regularly can help keep odours at bay and help prevent the accumulation of grime that can cause the growth of mould spores as well as an unhygienic living space for your baby.

Before you begin to clean your pushchair it is a good idea to remove any toys, and to take off any padding or covers that can be removed. This will make it easier for you to clean those difficult-to-access areas, like the canopy or hood. Choose a place which is well-ventilated and lay down a sheet to protect your floor. This will make cleaning up easier. Make use of a vacuum cleaner that has an nozzle that is flexible to get rid of any food or dirt that might have gotten stuck in the nooks and crevices.

If you own an infant stroller with removable fabric sections, then begin by checking the manufacturer's care instructions and washing them according to the recommendations (either in the washing machine or by hand). In general, it's safe to apply a warm solution of water and mild soap (or a mild detergent) on most fabrics used in pushchairs. It is recommended to test the fabric's colourfastness on an area of a tiny size prior to using any cleaning product. Some chemicals can damage or bleach delicate fabrics.

Stains and marks that stick to the surface are often cured by adding a small amount of bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is a powerful stain remover and will lift all kinds of odours such as ones caused by urine or milk. It also helps to lift any soap residues or detergent. After you're done, rinse the fabric well to remove any soap residues and hang it to dry. It is best to do this outdoors since sunlight acts as a natural fabric softener and an effective disinfectant.
