Seat

It is likely that your child will use the pram a lot and it's important to ensure it's comfortable. Look for models with comfy seat padding, adjustable handlebar height, and recline feature to allow you to lay your child down. It's also worth ensuring that the pushchair can be set in either 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or 'world facing', if your child is older and would like to look around and see what's going on around them.

When selecting a pram double you should think about the overall dimensions. You don't want to have be concerned about it taking up too much room in your car or home. Select a model that can be folded up easily and compact when folded to ensure it can fit. You can find out the ease or difficulty it is by reading reviews (like those found on MadeForMums).

A quality pram should fold completely flat, allowing your child to sleep comfortably during the first six months of their lives. This is vital for their development. Make sure the pram you're looking at can do this and that it can be used with a car seat in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels move the pram and provide your child a smooth ride. There are three common wheel types - rubber foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has its pros and cons based on what you intend to use your pushchair for.

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

PU or Polyurethane wheels are filled with foam which makes them lighter than rubber tyres. They don't have the same shock absorption capabilities and may feel hard on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more common on prams than strollers and are the least expensive option.

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

It is essential to have reliable brakes in your pram. This will protect you as well as your child and other pedestrians. Most Pushchairs Travel systems feature a brake pedal on the rear chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars or by pressing down on your foot. The brakes must be simple to operate and should be locked immediately after you press them. Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for added stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a light portable cot that can be attached to the chassis of the pushchair. It's a great choice for infants from six months old, as they must lie flat and be able to breathe, which is crucial for their lung and spinal development. A carrycot in a pram is a fantastic choice for parents who are tight in space, have a small car boot or use public transport frequently.

Some prams have a built-in carrycot that folds into the frame of the pushchair so it is easy to switch between seat and carriage mode. This is an excellent option for families with limited space in their car or who use public transport frequently. It can save you 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 option for parents on a budget as it's not expensive, but is stylish and luxurious, as well as being sturdy, lightweight and compact pushchair when folded.

Canopy

A canopy for prams travel system will shield your child from the elements while providing an ideal place to rest. It is also great for preventing heat stroke and sunburn by blocking out the harmful rays of the sun. Some models have the option of a peekaboo window or the mesh back so you can keep an eye on your snoozer's little one without disturbing them.

A hood can be useful in winter as it protects your baby's sensitive skin from the cold wind and rain. Some models come with a rain cover that can be easily put over the canopy of the pram, and secured with poppers. You can also buy an umbrella that is attached with magnets to the pram and is easy-to-fold away when not in use.

Whether you opt for a pram or pushchair, choosing the most suitable model is a crucial decision and one that you will use regularly for years to come. As your child grows, you will need to ensure that they are comfortable and safe during every journey. A high-quality pram/pushchair can support your baby's spine and keep them comfortable during long walks or bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that prams tend to be more geared towards infants and newborns and babies, since they typically come with a bassinet or carrycot to enable you to lie them flat, whereas pushchairs tend to be more flexible and can be converted into seats as your baby grows older.

Storage

There are a number of options for storage for good prams based on your budget and the space you have available. 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 it's not in use. It's also a great option when you reside in a region that has frequent snowfall or rainfall.

A shed is typically made out of metal or wood and it is equipped with a door that permits easy access. It may also have locks or other security features. Another option is a garage that will protect you from elements and will be close to your vehicle if that's what you want to use it for.

If you don't have garage space, you could store the pram in your home's closet. It will be hidden and you won't see it when you enter the house or nursery. However, it might be difficult to access if you have guests in your home.

You'll need to regularly clean your pushchair if you wish to keep it in good prams condition. This will ensure that it looks amazing and free of stains and mildew. To clean a hood, start by vacuuming it using an attachment that is small or by washing it in cool soapy water. Next you can tackle any stains with a fabric brush or gentle sterilising solution. Make sure to dry the fabric outside to prevent mildew and mould from spreading. You can also buy a cleaner that will help remove staining that is difficult to remove and leave your stroller looking like new again.
