What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

Safety

It's important to follow safety guidelines when you are out with your child in a pram or pushchair. This will ensure that your child is safe and at ease. Be sure to check the stroller or pushchair's weight limits for carriages to avoid overloading, as this can create instability or damage. Avoid placing blankets or pillows in the pram, as this could be hazardous for your child, particularly when they suffer an accident. Similarly, don't allow older children to play on the pram and car seat or stroller as it could pose a risk.

Look for a pushchair with extra padding particularly in the headrest area to shield your child from hitting objects when out and around. A child-facing mode is also an excellent option since it allows it to be quick and easy for you to check on your baby and keep them at ease and happy.

If you plan to take your pram or pushchair to rougher terrain, such as fields, parks, or even on beaches then it is recommended to find models with off-road wheels because they are more suitable for these kinds of environments.

Comfort

A good pram or pushchair should be comfortable for both your baby and you to push.

Find a suspension system that will allow for a smoother ride, as well as brakes that are flexible so that you can stop quickly in an emergency.

Newborns need to be in a completely flat position to support their developing spine, so it's important to ensure that your pushchair can do this during the first few months. A lot of frames come with a newborn carrycot that converts into a reclining seat when your child is old enough. This lets you have both a stroller and a pram in the same frame.

When you're choosing a pram, you'll need to think about your needs, such as how it's maneuverable and the amount of storage space you'll need. It is recommended to visit a store where you can try out different pushchairs and prams to determine how they feel and fold. It is also advisable to look over any accessories that you may require, such as an armband or a seat liner to keep your baby cool in the summer and warm in winter.

Practicality

The terms pram, pushchair buggy, pram and travel system (simply click Sevenstore) are often used interchangeably but it's important to select one that suits your requirements and is compatible with your lifestyle. Look for models that can fold into smaller dimensions to make it easier when you're on public transport and in your car's storage or boot space at home. If you choose to purchase an infant stroller or a travel system with a separate baby seat then ensure that it snaps securely onto the chassis and is able to be removed without disturbing your baby (especially when they're asleep).

Many prams come with a large storage basket under the seat to help you keep your shopping, nappies and bags close at hand. The wheels are usually swivel, making it easy to maneuver and steer them through narrow aisles in stores or in crowded areas like beaches and parks. If you plan to use the scooter in the countryside, you may want to choose one with large all-terrain tires that can withstand rough terrain and muddy trails.

A pushchair or stroller is lighter than a traditional pram, and the seat can be adjusted into various positions. This is great for babies who are able to sit up or newborns. A large canopy will protect your baby or toddler from the sun. Some models are also suitable for rain.

Think about how heavy the model is and whether you are able to lift it out and in of your car boot or up the stairs to your home (with or without your child in it!) - especially as they will increase in weight over time. It's worth buying a machine-washable cover for easy cleaning of spilled liquids or nappy messes. It's recommended to try out any prams or pushchairs that you're contemplating buying, so that you can see how they feel and behave and how they fold and transport. You might also want to check if the handlebars are comfortable to hold.

Cleaning

The most effective way to minimize the chance of mildew and mould is to clean your pushchair regularly. It is important to wipe down every component of your fabric as soon they get dirty and give them a thorough wash every two weeks. Using a deodoriser and/or fabric freshener on a regular basis will also help to keep odours at bay and stop the accumulation of grime, which can cause the growth of mould spores, as well as an unhygienic living space for your baby.

It's a great idea to take off any padding or covers before you begin cleaning your pushchair. This will make it easier for you to clean the hard-to-reach places, such as the hood or canopy. Choose a place that is well ventilated and lay down sheets to protect the floor. This will make cleaning it simpler. Finally, it's an ideal idea to use a vacuum with a nozzle attachment that is flexible to remove any food debris or dirt that could be trapped in the nooks and crannies.

If you have an infant stroller with removable fabric sections, then begin by checking the care instructions of the manufacturer and washing them according to the instructions (either in the washing machine or by hand). If you want to wash most fabrics in prams, you can use a solution made of warm water, mild soap or mild detergent. It is recommended to test the fabric's colourfastness on only a small area prior to using any cleaning product. Certain chemicals can harm or bleach delicate fabrics.

Stubborn marks and stains can be easily removed by adding a small amount of bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is a potent stain remover that can eliminate all kinds of odours including those triggered by urine or milk. It also helps remove any residues of detergent or soap. After washing, rinse the fabric thoroughly to get rid of any soap residue, and hang it to dry. Try to hang it outside because sunlight acts as natural fabric softener as well as a gentle disinfectant.
