Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most used items of baby equipment that you purchase so it's crucial to make sure it is comfortable for your little one. Make sure you choose a model with adjustable handlebars, a comfortable seat padding and a reclining function to allow you to put your child to bed.

It's important to consider the overall size of the pram when choosing one, since you don't want it to take up too much space in your car trunk or in your living area. To ensure that it is suitable it, pick a model that can be folded and collapsed in a compact manner. Check how easy it is to fold and then read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a clear sense of how simple or difficult it is to manoeuvre, fold and store.

A high-quality pram must fold completely flat, allowing your baby to lie down comfortably for the first six months of their life. This is crucial for their development. Be sure that the pram you're interested in can 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 allow it to move and what give your child the mobility they need. There are three standard wheel types: rubber, foam, and EVA (a more durable plastic type). Each has pros and cons based on what you intend to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and offer great grip on all surfaces. The only downside is that they may be punctured if inflated too quickly by a car tyre pump. However it is usually caused by someone over inflating the tires and isn't a common issue. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain and running buggies.

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

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

Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller newborn is a crucial feature that can protect your baby, you and pedestrians. The majority of pushchairs have a brake pedal 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 must be simple to operate and should lock immediately when you press them. Some pushchairs also feature a mid-wheel brake for more stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that can be attached to the chassis of a pushchair. It's a great option for newborns up to around six months old since 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 choice for parents who have limited space, a small boot or use public transport often.

Some prams have an integrated carrycot that folds away into the frame of the pram so that you can easily swap between carriage and seat mode. This is an excellent option for families with a small car boot or those who have to take public transport frequently because it saves time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is a good example of this and has scored well with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's also a great option for new parents on a budget as it's reasonably priced, yet is stylish and luxurious and is sturdy, lightweight and compact when folded.

Some models have a mesh back or peekaboo section that you can unzip to keep an eye on the tiny snoozer.

Storage

There are a number of options for pram storage depending on your budget and the space available. If you have the space sheds are a great option to protect your pram from damage resulting from the elements and keep it out of the way when not in use. This is an excellent option for areas that are prone to frequent snow or rain.

A shed is typically made of metal or wood, and comes with a door that allows easy access. It may also have locks or other security features. Another option that is popular is a garage, which will shield you from the elements and will be close to your vehicle if that's what you use.

If you don't have a garage, you can store the pram in the closet of your home. It will be kept out of the way and will not require you to see it when you go into your home or nursery. However, it might be difficult to access if you have guests in your home.

To maintain your pushchair, you'll need to keep it clean. This will keep it looking great and free of stains and mildew. Begin by vacuuming the hood using an attachment that is small, or rinsing in cool soapy water. You can then apply a gentle sterilising agent or a fabric brush to get rid of any stains. It is essential to dry the fabric thoroughly outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase an item that can help remove the most stubborn stains and leave your pushchair looking like new.
