What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys There are many aspects to take into consideration when selecting a buggy, pushchair, or pram. Consider the amount you're able to spend, whether you want a small buggy or something larger and how easy it will be to clean. Look for models that have a reclining seat that can be adjusted to multiple positions, and the option of a carrycot or bassinet to newborns. Check if they lie completely flat as this is important for your baby's developing spine. Safety It's important to follow safety guidelines while out with your child in a pushchair or pram. This will ensure that your child is secure and comfortable. Avoid overloading the stroller or pushchair to ensure that there is no damage or instability. Avoid placing blankets or pillows in the pram, as this could be hazardous for your child, particularly when they suffer an accident. Don't let older children climb onto the stroller or pram as this could pose a danger. Choose a stroller that is cushioned particularly in the headrest area to safeguard your child from hitting objects when out and out and about. It's also recommended to select an infant stroller with padding on the headrests, since this will protect your child from bumping into things when out and about. Some prams and pushchairs have a bassinet attachment that is perfect for babies to lie flat in cozy, cocooned and comfy. Some prams and pushchairs include a carrycot that can be removed once your baby is able to sit up. Some prams will also offer an infant seat that can be moved between these two types as your child develops. Many pushchairs or prams can be folded down to a compact size when they are not in use. This makes them much easier to store in your car boot or to transport them on public transport. It's worth checking the size of the pushchairs when folded. This can be an issue when you have to squeeze them in tight spaces or go up and down the stairs. If pushchairsandprams are planning to take your pram or pushchair into more difficult terrain like fields, parks or even on beaches then it is recommended to look for models with off-road wheels since they are better suited to these kinds of environments. Check to see if the wheels have air in them as they will be able to move easily over rougher terrain and not puncture. A sunshade or a parasol that is attached directly to the frame of your pushchair can provide shade and shield your child from overheating on hot days. You can purchase them either separately or as part of the pushchair accessories set with a variety of styles and colors to choose from. Comfort A great pushchair or pram is one that is comfortable for your baby and you to push. A comfortable, cushioned seat liner with adjustable settings that let your baby to lie flat or sway slightly (good for those who suffer from reflux) and a wide sun canopy are all helpful. Choose a suspension system that can make the ride smoother and brakes that are responsive so you can stop quickly in a situation of emergency. It is essential that your pushchair is suitable for this position for the first few weeks. Many frames come with a newborn carrycot that converts into a reclining seat when your child is old enough. This lets you have both a stroller and pram within the same frame. When you're choosing a pram, you'll need to think about your needs, such as how it's easy to move and the amount of storage space you require. It's a good idea to visit a shop that allows you to test-drive various prams or pushchairs to feel how they behave and how they fold. Also, you should look into any accessories you might need, such as a footmuff or seat liner to keep your baby cool in summer and warm in winter. Lastly, you'll want to think about the overall design of your pushchair – will it fit your personality and lifestyle? You'll be using your pushchair for many years, so make sure you pick an option that you will not regret.

Practicality The terms pushchair, pram buggy, travel system and pram are frequently used but it's crucial to pick one that suits your needs and your lifestyle. Choose models that fold down to smaller sizes 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 opt for a pram or travel system with an infant seat, be sure it can be easily snapped onto the chassis without waking your baby. A lot of prams have a large storage basket under which will help to keep your shopping bags, bags and nappies within reach. The wheels are typically rotate, making it easier to maneuver and steer in narrow aisles in shops or in areas with a lot of people, such as parks and beaches. If you're going to use it in the countryside, you may want to consider a model with large all-terrain tyres which can cope with muddy walks and rough terrain. A pushchair or stroller is lighter than a traditional pram, and the seat can be adjusted in various positions. This is ideal for infants who can sit up, or for newborns. They typically have a wide canopy which will offer your child or toddler protection from the sun and certain models could be suitable for use in the rain. Consider how the model weighs and then consider if you are able to comfortably move it in and out of your car boot or up the stairs to your home (with or without your child inside!) It is important to consider this especially since they will become heavier with time. It's worth investing in a machine-washable cover for easy cleaning of spilled liquids or nappy messes. It's recommended to test any prams or pushchairs you're thinking of buying so that you can see how they feel and behave as well as how easy they fold and transport. You may also want to check whether the handlebars are comfortable to you. Cleaning Cleaning your pushchair regularly will lower the risk of mildew or mould. This means wiping down any fabric parts as soon as they are dirty and giving them a thorough wash every two weeks or so. Regularly applying a fabric freshener or deodoriser can help to keep odours at bay and stop the accumulation of dirt that could result in mould spores. It's a good idea to take off any padding or covers prior to beginning cleaning your pushchair. This will allow you to clean the difficult-to-reach places, such as the hood or canopy. Next, choose an area which is well-ventilated and lay down a sheet to protect the floor. This will make cleaning it easy. Utilize a vacuum cleaner with a flexible nozzle to remove any food particles or dirt that may have been trapped in the crevices and corners. If you have an infant stroller with removable fabric sections, then start by reading the care instructions of the manufacturer and washing them according to the recommendations (either in the machine or by hand). Otherwise, it is generally safe to make use of a warm solution of water and gentle soap (or mild detergent) on the majority of fabrics used in prams. It is best to test the fabric's colourfastness using an area of a tiny size prior to using any cleaning product. Some chemicals can damage or bleach delicate fabrics. Stains and marks that are stubborn can be easily removed by adding a small amount of bicarbonate of soda to the wash. It is a potent stain remover that will lift many types odours including ones caused by urine or milk. It will also help remove any residues of soap or detergent. Once you're finished, rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove all traces of soap and hang it up to dry. Do this outside, as sunlight is a natural conditioner and disinfectant.
