What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

If you're in the market for a pushchair, pram or buggy there are plenty of things to think about. Consider the amount you're able to spend, whether you'd prefer a small buggy or something larger and how easy it will be to clean.

Find models with a reclining seat that can adjust to various positions. Also, consider bassinets or a baby carrycot. Make sure they are flat, as this is crucial for the spine development of your baby.

Safety

It is essential to adhere to safety guidelines while out with your baby in a pushchair or pram. This will ensure that your child is safe and at ease. Avoid overloading the stroller or pushchair to prevent damage or instability. Avoid placing pillows or blankets in the pram, as they could pose a risk to your child, especially if they have an accident. Don't let older children climb on the stroller or pram and car seat as it could pose a risk.

Choose a stroller with extra padding particularly in the headrest, to shield your child from getting hit by objects while out and about. A parent facing mode is also an excellent option since it makes it quick and easy to monitor your child and keep them happy and comfortable.

Some prams and pushchairs have a bassinet attachment that is perfect for infants to lay flat on, cocooned and comfortable. Some pushchairs and prams come with a carrycot which can be removed once your baby is able to sit. Some prams also come with seats that can be switched between two modes as your baby develops.

Many prams and pushchairs are designed to fold to a smaller size when they are not in use, making them easy to store and transport in your car boot or on public transport. It's worth checking how compact they are when folded as this can make a difference when you have to squeeze them in tight spaces or go up and down the stairs.

If you plan to take your pram or stroller into more rough terrain, like fields or parks, or even on the beach, it is best to choose an option with off-road wheels. These are the best wheels for these environments. Make sure the wheels are air-filled since this will help them to maneuver over rough terrain and not puncture easily.

A sunshade or a parasol that is attached directly to the frame of your pushchair will shade and guard your child against overheating on sunny days. You can buy these in a separate purchase or as part an accessory set for your pushchair, with a variety of styles and colors to choose from.

Comfort

A great pram should be easy to push for you and your baby. A soft padded seat liner, adjustable settings that allow your baby to lie flat or sway slightly (good for those who suffer from reflux) and a large sun canopy are all helpful. Look for a suspension system that will make the ride smoother and a brake system that is responsive so you can stop quickly in an emergency.

It is essential that your pushchair is suitable for this position for the first few weeks. A lot of frames come with a newborn carrycot that then converts to the reclining seat when your baby is old enough, meaning you can use both the pram and pushchair in the same frame.

When choosing a pushchair you'll have to think about your needs, such as how it's easy to move and the amount of storage space you require. It's worth visiting a shop that lets you test drive different prams and pushchairs to see how they feel and how they fold. You should also check out any accessories you might want, like an armband or a seat liner to keep your baby cool in the summer and warm in winter.

Finally, you'll need to think about the overall design of your stroller - does it match your lifestyle and personality? You will be using your pushchair for many years, so make sure you pick an option that you will be happy with.

Practicality

The terms pushchair, pram buggy, pram and travel system get thrown around a lot but it's important to choose one that meets your needs and fits your lifestyle. Choose models that fold into smaller dimensions because this can be helpful when transporting on public transport as well as in your car's storage or boot space at home. If you decide to buy a pram or a travel system that has a separate baby seat then make sure that it snaps easily onto the chassis and is able to be removed without disturbing your baby (especially when they're asleep).

Many prams come with a large storage basket under that will keep your bags, shopping and nappies within reach. The wheels usually pivoting, making it simple to maneuver and steer them through narrow aisles in stores or in crowded areas like beaches and parks. If you plan to use it in the country, you may want to choose a model with wide all-terrain tires that can withstand rough terrain and muddy trails.

A pushchair or stroller is lighter than a traditional pram and the seat can be adjusted to different positions. This is great for infants who can sit up or for newborns. They typically have a wide canopy that will provide your baby or toddler with protection from the sun, and some models may also be suitable for use in rainy weather.

Think about how the model weighs and whether you can lift it comfortably into the car boot or up the steps (with or without an infant inside). They'll become heavier with time. It might be worth paying an extra amount to get a washable cover that makes cleaning up spillages or nappy leaks quick and simple. It's a good idea to test drive any prams or pushchairs you're thinking of buying to be able to observe how they feel and behave and how easy they fold and transport. You might also want to check whether the handlebars are comfortable to you.

Cleaning

The most effective way to minimize the risk of mould and mildew is to wash your pushchair frequently. It is crucial to wipe down every component of your fabric as soon they begin to get dirty, and give them an extensive wash every two weeks. Using a deodoriser and/or fabric freshener regularly can help keep odours at bay and help prevent the accumulation of grime, which can cause the growth of mould spores, as well as an unhygienic environment for your baby.

Before you start to clean your pushchair it is a good idea to clear away any toys, and to remove any padding or covers that are able to be removed. This will make it easier to clean and access those hard to reach places like the hood, canopy or seat supports. Next, choose an area that is well-ventilated and lay down a sheet to protect the floor. This will make cleaning simpler. Make use of a vacuum cleaner that has an nozzle that is flexible to get rid of any food particles or dirt that may have been trapped in the crevices and nooks.

If your pushchair is equipped with removable fabric sections, make sure you read the instructions of the manufacturer for cleaning and wash them in accordance with the instructions (either by hand or by washing in a machine). In other cases, it is safe to use a solution of warm water and mild soap (or mild detergent) on the majority of fabrics used in pushchairs. It is best to test the fabric's colorfastness on an area of a tiny size prior to using any cleaning product. Certain chemicals can harm or bleach delicate fabrics.

Stains and marks that stick to the surface can be easily removed by adding a small amount bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is a powerful stain remover and can lift many types of odours, such as those triggered by milk or urine. It can also help lift any residues of soap or detergent. After you've finished, wash the fabric thoroughly to remove any soap residue and hang it to dry. Do this outside, since sunlight is a natural fabric conditioner and disinfectant.
