Seat
A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment that you purchase so it's important that it's comfortable for your young one. Look for models that have adjustable handlebars, comfortable seat padding and a recline feature so that you can easily put your child to bed.

When selecting a pram you should think about the overall dimensions. You don't want to worry about it taking up too much room in your home or vehicle. Pick a model that is able to be folded easily and is compact when folded to ensure it fits. Check how easy it is to fold and then read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) for a real impression of how easy or difficult it is to move, fold and store.
A high-quality pram should fold completely flat, allowing your baby to sleep comfortably for the first six months of their lives. This is crucial for their development. Check that the pram you're interested in can do this and that it is compatible with a car seat, should it be required.
Wheels
The wheels are what propel the pram and provide your child a safe ride. There are three wheel types: foam, rubber, and EVA (a more durable plastic type). Each has its pros and cons based on the purpose you intend to use your pushchair for.
Rubber wheels are most common and provide great grip on all surfaces. The only down side is that they can be punctured if inflated too much using an auto tyre pump. This isn't a typical problem and is usually caused by over-inflating the wheel. This wheel type is often used on buggies that run all-terrain.
PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled so they are lighter than rubber tyres. They do not have the same shock-absorbing ability, and can feel harsher on rough concrete surfaces. They are more prevalent on prams and strollers than on strollers, and are the cheapest option.
EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a tougher plastic material that is light and has some characteristics of rubber, but not as much. It can be used in place of rubber or PU to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the weight of your pram.
The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your toddler stroller is an important feature and can protect your child, you and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with a brake pedal on the rear 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 easy to operate and should lock immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs have a brake on the middle wheel for additional stability and control.
Carrycot
The carrycot is a user-friendly portable cot that can be affixed to the chassis of any pushchair. It's ideal for babies and infants up to six months of age, as they must lay flat in order to develop their spine and lungs. A pram with a carrycot is a fantastic choice for parents who are short on space and have a tiny car boot, or who take public transport often.
Some prams are equipped with a carrying cot that can fold into the frame. This lets you easily change between the seat and carriage modes. This is an excellent option for families with a tiny car boot or who need to use public transport a lot since it will save time and effort.

Canopy
A canopy for prams will shield your child from the elements while providing a cozy place to rest. It's also great for preventing sunburn and heat stroke by blocking out the harsh sun's rays. Some models feature a mesh back or peekaboo section that you can unzip to monitor the little snoozer.
A hood can be particularly useful in winter too it allows you to protect your baby's delicate skin from the cold wind and rain. Some models include rain covers that can easily be popped over the pram's canopy and secured with poppers.

Storage
There are many options for pram storage depending on your budget and the space you have available. A shed is a good option if you have the space, as it will protect the pram from weather damage and keep it away from the path when not in use. It's also a great option if you live in an area with frequent snow or rain.
A shed is usually constructed of metal or wood, and it has a door that allows easy access. It may also come with a lock or other security features. Garages are another popular option as it provides protection from the elements while remaining close to your car, if you're using that for transport.
If you don't have a garage or shed, you can keep your pram in a closet inside your home. It will be out of the way and you won't see it when you walk into the house or the nursery. It may be difficult to reach if are hosting guests.
To keep your pushchair in good condition it's best to clean it frequently. It will look great and free of stains and mildew. To clean a hood, start by vacuuming it using an attachment that is small or by washing it with cool soapy water. Then you can tackle any stains with a fabric brush or a gentle solution for sterilising. Remember to dry your fabric outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy a cleaner to remove stubborn stains and make your pushchair appear like new.
