Seat

It's likely that your baby will be using the pram often, so it is important to ensure it's comfortable. Look for models with comfy cushioned seats, an adjustable handlebar height and recline function that allows you to get your child asleep. Check that the pushchair has a 'parent facing (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' option for children who want to be able to see more of what's going on around them.

One of the cool features on the Near2Me from Graco is its ability to bring your child to you by pressing the button, allowing parents to maintain eye contact with their child and keep them close. Jaya the tester for our parents, praised this as an excellent option for newborns and infants.

It's important to consider the overall size of the pram before you choose one, as you do not want it to take up too much space in your car trunk or in your living space. Select a model that can be folded up easily and is compact when folded to ensure it will fit. You can check the ease or difficulty it is by reading reviews (like those on MadeForMums).

A high-quality pram should fold flat, allowing your child to lay comfortably throughout the first six months of their life. This is vital for their development. Be sure that the pram you're considering is able to do this and that it can be used with a car seat if needed.

Wheels

The wheels are what move the pram and give your child a safe ride. There are three standard wheel types: foam, rubber, and EVA (a more durable plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and cons depending on the way you plan to use your stroller.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured using a compressor for car tyres to over inflate them. This is not a frequent problem, and is usually caused by over-inflating the wheel. This wheel type is commonly used on all-terrain buggies and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are stuffed with foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock absorbing ability and can sometimes feel more harsh on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more common on strollers than in prams and are the most affordable option.

EVA or Ethylene vinyl Acetate, is a polymer material that has the characteristics of rubber, and is also lighter. It can be used to replace PU or rubber in your babiie pram for its ease of maintenance and weight reduction.

Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller is an important feature and will safeguard your baby, you and pedestrians. The majority of pushchairs have brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis and can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes must be simple to operate and should be locked when you press them. Some pushchairs feature brakes on the middle wheel for additional stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a light portable cot that connects to the frame of a 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 spinal development. A pram with a carrycot is the perfect choice for parents who have little space, a small boot or use public transport frequently.

Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that can fold into the frame. This allows you to quickly change between the seat and carriage modes. This is a great option for families with a tiny car boot or those who have to use public transport frequently since it will save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is a good example of this and has a high score with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's a great option for parents who are on a tight budget, since it's reasonably priced, yet looks and feels luxurious. It's also strong, lightweight, and compact when folded.

A shed is an excellent choice if you have the room, as it will shield your pram from damage caused by weather and keep it away from the path when not in use. It's also a great option for those who reside in an area that experiences frequent snowfall or rainfall.

A shed is usually built from metal or wood and has a door that allows easy access. It may also come with locks or other security features. Another option that is popular is a garage, which will protect you from elements and will be close to your vehicle, if that's what you want to use it for.

Be sure to dry the fabric outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase a cleaner that will help remove stubborn stains and leave your stroller looking like new again.
