What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

If you're looking for a pram, pushchair or buggy there are a lot of things to think about. Consider the amount you're willing to spend, whether you want an e-bike that is compact or larger and how easy to clean it.

Look for models that have a reclining seat that can be adjusted to several positions, and a bassinet or carrycot for newborns. Make sure they are flat as this is important for your baby's developing spine.

Safety

It is important to follow safety guidelines while out with your child in a pram or pushchair. This will ensure that your child is secure and comfortable. Avoid overloaded strollers or pushchair to prevent damage or instability. Avoid placing pillows or blankets in the pram since they can pose danger for your baby, particularly if there is an accident. Don't allow older children to use the pram or stroller as it could pose a risk.

Many pushchairs and prams can fold down into smaller sizes when not in use, making them easier to store and transport in your car's boot or public transport. It's worth checking the size of the pushchairs when folded, as this can be an issue when you need to squeeze them in tight spaces or go up and down the stairs.

If you are planning on taking your pushchair or pram into rougher terrain such as fields, parks, or even on beaches, it is recommended to look for a model with off-road wheels as this will be better suited to these kinds of environments.

This means you can use both an infant pram and a pushchair within the same frame.

When choosing a pushchair you'll need to consider your requirements, including how it's easy to move and how much storage space you'll need. It's worth visiting a shop where you can test drive different pushchairs or prams to see how they feel and fold.

If you decide to purchase a pram or travel system with a separate infant seat, be sure it is able to be easily snapped onto the chassis without waking up your baby.

Many prams have a large storage basket underneath the seat to help keep your shopping, nappies, and bags to hand.

Also, it's a good idea to use a vacuum cleaner with a flexible nozzle attachment to get rid of any food debris or dirt that may be trapped in the nooks and crannies.

If you have an infant stroller with removable fabric parts, then begin by reviewing the care instructions provided by the manufacturer and washing them according to the recommendations (either in the machine or by hand). Otherwise, it is generally safe to apply warm water and gentle soap (or a mild detergent) on all fabrics used in pushchairs. It is recommended to test the fabric's colourfastness on a small area before using any cleaning product. Certain chemicals may harm or bleach delicate fabrics.

It is a potent stain remover that will lift many types odours including ones caused by urine or milk. It also helps remove any soap or detergent residues. Once you're finished, rinse the fabric thoroughly to get rid of all traces of soap and hang it to dry. Do this outside, since sunlight is a natural conditioner and disinfectant.
