What to Look For in a pram pushchair (visit the website)

A stylish and fashionable pram that's both swish and practical. It is easy to assemble and can be transformed into double. It also has a large storage basket.

A fantastic travel pushchair system that allows you to be 'future-proof' by incorporating a compatible car seat and carrycot. It can be folded effortlessly and quickly with one hand, and is able to stand when folded.

Seat

It is likely that your baby will be using the pram frequently and therefore it's crucial that it is comfortable. Find models with comfortable seat padding, adjustable handlebar height and a recline function that allows you to lay your child down. It's also worth ensuring that the pushchair is set to be 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or 'world facing', when your child is older and wants to observe what's going on around them.

The Graco Near2Me has an interesting feature that lets parents keep their child close and maintain eye contact. This is a wonderful option for babies and newborns and was praised by our parent tester Jaya as being a lovely way to make your child feel special and loved.

When you're choosing a stroller compact you should consider the overall dimensions. You don't want to be concerned about it taking up too much space in your home or vehicle. To ensure that it fits the space, select a model that can be folded and collapsed in a compact manner. Find out how easy it is to do this and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a true idea of how easy or difficult it is to manoeuvre, fold and store.

A high-quality pram should be able to fold flat when folded, making sure that your baby has a fully supported lie down throughout the first six months, which is essential for their development. Check that the pram that you are thinking about buying is able to do this, and that it is compatible with a car seat in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels are what move the pram and give your child a smooth ride. There are three common wheel types - rubber foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each type has pros and cons based on the purpose you intend to use your pushchair.

Rubber wheels are the most common and offer great grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured using a compressor for car tyres to blow them up too hard. However it is usually caused by someone over inflating the tires and isn't a common problem. This wheel type is commonly used on all-terrain buggies, as well as running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are filled with foam making them lighter than rubber tyres. They also don't offer the same shock-absorbing capability and may feel harsh on rough concrete surfaces. They are more common on prams than strollers and are the most affordable option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a tougher plastic material that is lighter and has some characteristics of rubber, but not as much. It can be used to replace PU or rubber in your pram for its ease of maintenance and weight reduction.

The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your stroller is a must and will safeguard your child, you and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis. It can be activated either by pressing a lever, or button on the handlebars or by pressing down on your foot. The brakes must be simple to operate and should be locked as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs have an in-wheel brake to provide stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that attaches to the chassis of a pushchair. It's a great choice for newborns up to around six months old since they require a flat position, which is essential for their spinal and lung development. A pram with a carrycot is a fantastic choice for parents who are limited on space and have a tiny car boot or who use public transport a lot.

Some prams pushchairs have a built-in carrycot that folds into the frame of the pushchair, so you can easily swap between carriage and seat modes. This is a great choice for families with a tiny car boot or those who have to travel by public transport a lot since it will save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly rated by MFM home testers and has won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a good choice for parents who are on a tight budget, as it's reasonably priced, yet is stylish and luxurious as well as being sturdy, lightweight and compact when folded.

Mountain Buggy Twin Plus, a luxury pushchair for single or double use that can be used right from birth. a carrycot is the best choice. This stunning pram includes a lay-flat carrycot an sling seat made of fabric and an infant cocoon to create the most comfortable sleeping environment that is secure and comfortable for your twins.

Canopy

A pram canopy will protect your child from the elements and provide a comfortable place for them to sleep. It also helps prevent sunburns and heat stroke by blocking the harsh rays from the sun. Some models have the option of a peekaboo window or the back mesh so that you can monitor your little snoozer without disturbing them.

In winter, a hood can be a great way to protect your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Some models come with a rain cover that can easily be popped over the pram's canopy and secured with poppers. You can also purchase a separate umbrella that attaches by magnets to the pram and folds away when not in use.

If you decide to go with a pushchair or pram, selecting the most suitable model is a crucial decision and one that you will be using often for a long time. As your baby grows, you will want to ensure they're comfortable and safe throughout every trip. A high-quality pram/pushchair can help your baby's spine and keep them at ease on long walks or bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that prams tend to be more targeted towards newborns and babies, as they often come with a bassinet, or carrycot that lets you lay them flat, whereas pushchairs are more versatile and can convert to an infant seat as your child gets older.

Storage

There are numerous options for storage options for prams depending on your budget and the space available. If you have the space sheds are the ideal option to shield your pram from damage resulting from the elements and keep it out of the way when not in use. This is a great option if your area experiences frequent snow or rain.

A shed is usually built out of metal or wood and has doors that allow to make it easy to access. It may also have a lock or other security features. Another option that is popular is a garage that will protect you from the elements and be close to your vehicle if that's what you want to use it for.

If you don't have a garage, or shed, you can keep 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 nursery. However, it could be difficult to access if have guests visiting.

To maintain your pushchair you'll need to clean it regularly. This will ensure that it looks great and is free of mildew and stains. Start by vacuuming the hood using a small attachment or by rinsing it with cool soapy water. Next you can tackle any stains using a fabric brush or gentle sterilising solution. Be sure to dry the fabric on the outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy a cleaner to get rid of staining that is difficult to remove and make your pushchair appear like new.
