Seat

It's likely that your baby will use the pram often and therefore it's crucial to ensure it's comfortable. Find models with comfortable cushioning for the seat, a handlebar that is adjustable in height and a recline function that allows you to put your child to sleep. Make sure that the pushchair features a 'parent-facing' (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' option in case your child wishes to see more of what's going on around them.

The Graco Near2Me comes with an innovative feature that lets parents keep their child close and maintain eye contact. Jaya the tester for our parents said this is an excellent choice for infants and newborns.

It is important to think about the overall size of the pram when choosing one, since you don't want to take up too much space in the trunk of your car or in your living space. To ensure it's suitable the space, select a model that can fold and fold into a compact size. You can check how easy or difficult it is by reading reviews (like those on MadeForMums).

A high-quality pram bag should fold flat, allowing your baby to lay comfortably throughout the first six months of their lives. This is vital for their development. Make sure the pram you are considering is able to do this, and also that it is compatible with a car-seat in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels are what propel the pram and give your child a smooth ride. There are 3 common wheel types: rubber, foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and con depending on how you plan to use your stroller.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only drawback is that they can be punctured if they are inflated too much by a car tyre pump. This is not a frequent problem, and is usually caused by over-inflating the wheels. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled making them lighter than rubber tyres. They do not have the same shock-absorbing capabilities and can feel more abrasive on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more often seen on prams rather than strollers and are typically the lowest cost option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a tougher plastic material that is light and has some of the characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used in place of PU or rubber for low maintenance and to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

A strong and reliable brake system on your pram is a must and will protect your baby, you and pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with brake pedals on the rear chassis. It can be activated either by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars, or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes should be simple to operate and should lock when you press them. Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for more stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is an easy-to-use portable cot that can be affixed to the chassis of any pushchair. It's a great option for infants from six months old as they require a flat position and be able to breathe, which is crucial for their lung and spine development. A carrycot-equipped pram is a great option for parents with little space, a small boot or use public transport often.

Some prams come with a built-in carrying cot that can fold into the frame. This allows you to easily switch between carriage and seat modes. This is an excellent option for families with a small car boot or who need to use public transport a lot because it saves time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly reviewed by MFM home testers and has won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's a great option for parents on a tight budget, since it's reasonably priced, yet looks and feels luxurious. It's also strong, lightweight, and compact when folded.

It's also a nippy lightweight, smooth-rider that is ideal for urban environments which means you can effortlessly navigate traffic-heavy roads and pavements traveling. It's also incredibly easy and comes with a variety of accessories, such as a footmuff, rain cover and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy is ideal to protect your baby from the elements and also providing a cosy spot for them to relax. It's also great for preventing sunburn and heat stroke by blocking the harsh sun's rays. Some models have a peekaboo window or unzip the back mesh to observe your snoozer's little one without disturbing them.

A hood can be useful in winter too, allowing you to shield your baby's sensitive skin from cold winds and rain. Some models come with a rain cover that can easily be popped over the folding pram's canopy and secured by poppers. You can also purchase a separate umbrella that attaches by magnets to the pram and folds away when not being used.

Whether you opt for a pushchair or pram, selecting the most suitable model is a crucial choice that you will be using regularly for years to come. As your child grows, you will want to make sure they're safe and comfortable on every journey. A quality pram or pushchair will help your baby's spine and ensure they are comfortable during long walks and bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that pushchairs tend to be more geared towards infants and newborns in that they usually include a bassinet or carrycot that lets you lay them flat, whereas pushchairs are more versatile and can be converted into an infant seat as your child grows older.

Stores

There are a variety of options for storage for top prams, based on your budget and the space you have available. If you have space, a shed is the ideal option to shield your pram from damage resulting from the weather and keep it out the way when not being used. It is also a good option if you reside in an area that experiences frequent rainfall or snow.

A shed is constructed from metal or wood and comes with a door that allows easy access. It could also come with a lock and other security features. Another option that is popular is a garage that will shield you from the elements and will be close to your vehicle if that's what you use.

If you do not have garage space, you can store the pram in your home's closet. This will keep it out of the way and will not require you to see it when you enter your house or nursery. However, it could be difficult to access if have guests visiting.

You'll have to clean your pushchair travel system if you want to keep it maintained. This will ensure it is clean and free from stains and mildew. Start by vacuuming the hood using an attachment small in size, or rinsing in cool soapy water. Then, you can work on any stains using a fabric brush or a gentle solution for sterilising. It is important to dry the fabric completely outside to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy cleaning products that will remove stubborn stains and leave your pushchair looking like new again.
