Seat
It's likely that your baby will use the pram a lot, so it is important that it is comfortable. Look for models with comfy cushioning for the seat, a handlebar that is adjustable in height and a recline function to let you get your child asleep. Make sure the pushchair comes with a 'parent-facing' (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' feature for children who want to see more of what's going on around them.
The Graco Near2Me has an interesting feature that lets parents keep their child close and keep eye contact. This is a fantastic option for newborns and babies and was loved by our parent tester Jaya as being a lovely way to make your child feel special and loved.
It is crucial to consider the overall size of a pram when selecting, as you don't want to take up too much space in your car trunk or your living area. Pick a model that is able to fold easily and is compact when collapsed to ensure it fits. You can find out the ease or difficulty it is by reading reviews (like those found on MadeForMums).
A high-quality pram should be able to lie completely flat when folded. This will ensure that your baby has a comfortable and safe sleep during the first six months, which is essential for their development. Be sure that the pram you're looking at is able to do this and that it is compatible with a car seat in the event that it is required.
Wheels
The wheels of a pushchair are what make it move and what give your child the ride they need. There are 3 common wheel types: rubber, foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and cons depending on how you intend to use your stroller.
Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and provide great grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured by using a compressor for car tyres to blow them up too hard. This is not a frequent issue and is usually caused by someone over-inflating the wheel. This type of wheel is commonly used on all-terrain buggies and running buggies.
PU or Polyurethane Wheels are filled with foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They do not have the same shock-absorbing ability, and can feel harsher on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more common on strollers than in prams, and are the cheapest option.
EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic that is lightweight and has some of the properties of rubber but not as much. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram due to its low maintenance and weight reduction.
It is crucial to have reliable brakes in your pushchair. This will protect you your child, as well as other pedestrians. The majority of pushchairs have brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis. It is 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 be locked as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs have brakes on the middle wheel for additional stability and control.
Carrycot
The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that connects to the chassis of the pushchair. It's a great choice for newborns up to around six months old since they must lie flat, which is essential for their lung and spine development. A pram with a carrycot is a great option for parents with a only a tiny boot, or who travel by public transport often.
Some prams come with a built-in carrycot that folds up into the frame of the pushchair so it is easy to switch between carriage and seat modes. This is a great choice for families with a tiny car boot or those who have to use public transport often as it can save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly rated by MFM home testers and won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a great choice for new parents on a budget as it's reasonably priced, yet is stylish and luxurious and is strong, light and compact when folded.

This stunning pram includes lay-flat carrycots a fabric sling seat and a baby cocoon to provide the ultimate sleeping solution that is secure and comfortable for your twins.

Canopy
A canopy for your pram will protect your child from the elements and provide a cozy place to sleep. It also helps prevent sunburns and heatstroke by blocking the harsh rays of the sun. Some models come with a mesh back or peekaboo section that can be unzipped to monitor the snoozer's tiny eyes.
A hood can be particularly useful in winter it allows you to protect your baby's delicate skin from the cold wind and rain. Some models come with rain covers that can be easily put over the canopy of the pram, and secured with poppers. You can also purchase an umbrella that is attached to the pram using magnets and is simple to remove when not in use.
Whichever model you choose, pram or pushchair, choosing the best model is a major choice and one which you will be using often for a long time. As your child grows, you will need to ensure that they are comfortable and safe throughout every trip. A quality pushchair or pram is one that can support their gentle spine and keep them from becoming exhausted when they take long walks or bumpy rides.
It's worth noting that prams tend to be more targeted towards babies and infants and babies, since they typically come with a bassinet, or carrycot that allows you to lay them flat, while pushchairs are generally more versatile and can convert to a seat as your baby grows older.

Storage
There are a variety of options for storage for prams, based on your budget and the space available. A shed is a good choice if you have the room, as it will protect the pram from weather damage and keep it away from the path when it's not in use. This is a great option for areas that are prone to often snow or rain.
A shed is typically made out of metal or wood and has a door that allows easy access. It may also have a lock and other security features. Garages are a popular option as it provides protection from the elements while remaining close to your car, if you're using it for transportation.
If you do not have a garage or shed, you can store your pram in a closet within your home. It will be in a safe place and you won't notice it when you enter the home or nursery. However, it could be difficult to access if have guests visiting.
You'll need to clean your pushchair if you want to keep it maintained. This will ensure it is clean and free from stains and mildew. Begin by vacuuming the hood with a small attachment or washing it in cool, soapy water. Then, use a mild sterilizing agent or a fabric brush to remove any stains. It's important to remember to dry the fabric completely outside to stop mildew and mould from spreading. You can also purchase cleaning products that will remove stubborn stains and leave your stroller looking like new again.
