A brilliant travel system that allows you to be 'future-proof' by incorporating the appropriate car seat and carrycot. It folds quickly and easily with one hand, and it is able to stand when folded.

Seat

It is likely that your child will use the pram often and therefore it's crucial to ensure it's comfortable. Look for models that have adjustable handlebars, comfortable seats padding and a reclining function so that you can easily lay your child to sleep. Check that the pushchair has an 'parent facing (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' feature for children who want to be able to see more of what's going on around them.

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

When you're choosing a stroller it is important to consider the overall size. You don't want to to worry about it taking up too much space in your home or vehicle. To ensure that it is suitable, choose a model which can be folded and collapsed in a compact manner. You can determine how easy or difficult it is by reading reviews (like those on MadeForMums).

A quality pram should fold flat, allowing your baby to sleep comfortably during the first six months of their life. This is crucial for their development. Make sure the pram you're looking at can do this and that it is compatible with a car seat, should it be required.

Wheels

The wheels of a pram pushchair are what makes it move and provide your child the mobility they need. There are three standard wheel types: rubber, foam and EVA (a more rigid plastic type). Each wheel type has pros and cons depending on how you intend to use your stroller.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured by using a car tyre compressor to blow them up too hard. This is not a frequent problem and is usually caused by who has inflated the wheels too much. This wheel type is commonly used on all-terrain buggies, as well as buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are made of foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock-absorbing capability and can feel more harsh on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are often seen on prams rather than strollers and are typically the lowest cost option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a harder plastic that is lightweight and has some properties of rubber but not as much. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram for its low maintenance and weight reduction.

Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller is a crucial feature that can protect you, your baby and pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with a brake pedal on the rear chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes should be easy to operate and should lock as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs also feature a mid-wheel brake for more stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a light portable cot that can be attached to the chassis of the pushchair. It is a fantastic option for babies up to six months old since they need to lie flat in order to support their lung and spine development. A pram with a carrycot is a great choice for parents with limited space, a small boot, or who travel by public transport frequently.

Some prams travel system come with a built-in carrying cot that can fold into the frame. This allows you to easily change between the carriage and seat modes. This is an excellent option for families with a small car boot or frequent public transport. It can save you time and energy. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has scored well with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's a great choice for new parents who are on a tight budget, since it is affordable, yet has a luxurious look and feel. It's also strong, lightweight, and compact when folded.

If you're looking for a luxurious single to double pushchair that is suitable from birth and can be used with a carrycot or a baby cocoon, the Mountain Buggy Twin Plus is the ideal option. The pram features lay-flat carrycots fabric slings, fabric seats and a baby cooon for the perfect sleeping solution for twins.

It's also a soft light-steering, quick and nippy rider, which is perfect for urban areas. You can easily traverse busy roads and pavements on the move. Plus, it's incredibly easy to install and comes with a variety of accessories like rain cover, footmuff and hood.

Canopy

A canopy for your pram will protect your child from the elements and provide a comfortable place for them to sleep. It's also great for preventing sunburn and heat stroke by blocking the harsh sun's rays. Some models feature an open window, or you can unzip the back mesh so that you can observe your snoozer's little one without disturbing them.

In winter, a hood can be a great way to protect your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Some models come with a rain cover that can be easily popped over the canopy of the pram and secured with poppers. You can also buy a separate umbrella that attaches via magnets to the pram and is easy-to-fold away when not in usage.

If you decide to go with a pram or pushchair, choosing the most suitable model is a crucial choice that you will be using frequently for many years to come. As your baby grows and develops you'll want to ensure they are safe and comfortable on every trip. A high-quality pram or pushchair is one that can help your baby's spine stay in a comfortable position and prevent them from becoming exhausted when they take long rides or walks.

Pushchairs can be converted into a seat when your baby gets older. They are more versatile than prams for newborns. Our team of experts is ready to help you if you aren't sure which pushchair or pram is best for your needs. Contact us or visit our store.

Storage

There are many options for storage for prams based on your budget and the space you have available. A shed is a great choice if you have the room, as it will shield the pram from weather damage and keep it out of the way when it's not in use. It's also a good option for those who reside in an area that experiences frequent snowfall or rainfall.

A shed is made out of metal or wood and has a door that allows easy access. It may also have 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 do not have a garage or shed, you can keep your pram in a closet in your home. It will be kept away from view, so you don't have to look at it when you enter your house or nursery. However, it could be difficult to access if you have guests coming over.

You'll need to regularly clean your pushchair if want to keep it maintained. This will ensure it is clean and free of stains and mildew. Begin by vacuuming the hood using a small attachment or washing it in cool, soapy water. Then you can clean any stains with a fabric brush or a gentle solution for sterilising. Remember to dry the fabric on the outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase a cleaner to get rid of stubborn stains, making your pushchair look like new.
