What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and BuggysThere are many factors to take into consideration when selecting a buggy, pushchair, or pram. Think about how much you can afford to spend, whether you'd prefer a small buggy or something more spacious and how easy to clean it.Look for models with a reclining seat that can adjust to various positions. Also, consider bassinets or a baby carrycot. Make sure they are flat as this is vital for the spine development of your baby.SafetyWhen you are out and about with your baby in a pram or pushchair it is essential to adhere to safety guidelines to ensure your little one is comfortable and safe. Be sure to check the stroller or pushchair's weight limits for carriages to avoid overloaded vehicles as it could cause damage or cause instability. Avoid putting pillows or blankets in the pram, as they could pose a risk to your child, particularly if they have an accident. Similarly, don't let older children use the stroller or pram because this is a potential hazard.It's also recommended to look for a pushchair with more padding, particularly around the headrest. This can keep your child safe from bumping into things whilst out and out and about. It's also a good idea to choose an infant stroller with cushioned headrests as this will protect your child from bumping into things while out and about.Some prams and pushchairs include the bassinet attachment, which is ideal for newborns to lay flat on cozy, cocooned and comfy. Some pushchairs and prams come with a carrycot which can be removed once your baby is able to sit up. Some prams may also include seats that can be switched between the two types as your child grows.Many prams and pushchairs can fold down to a smaller size when not in use, which makes them easier to store and transport in your car boot or on public transport. Check how compact they are folded. This could make a huge difference when you have to get them into tight spaces or up and over the stairs.If you intend to take your stroller or pram into rougher terrains, such as parks or fields or even the beach, it is best to choose a model that has off-road wheels. They are more suitable for these kinds of terrains. Make sure that the wheels are air-filled since they will be able to glide smoothly over rough terrain and will not puncture.A sunshade or parasol that can be attached directly to the frame of your pushchair will provide shade and guard your child against overheating on sunny days. You can purchase them separately or as part of a pushchair accessories set, with a variety of styles and colors to pick from.ComfortA great pushchair or pram should be comfortable for both your baby and you to push. A soft padded seat liner, adjustable settings that allow your newborn to lie flat or sway slightly (good for those who suffer from reflux) and a wide sun canopy are all useful. Look for a suspension that makes the ride smooth and a brake system that is responsive to allow you to stop quickly if needed.It is essential that your pushchair is able to accommodate this position for the first few weeks. Many frames include 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 how much storage space you need. It is recommended to visit a store where you can test drive different pushchairs and prams to determine how they feel and fold. You should also check out any accessories you might want, like a seat liner or footmuff to keep your baby cool in the summer and warm in winter.Lastly, you'll want to consider the overall style of your stroller - does it fit your lifestyle and personality? You will be using your pushchair for several years, so choose the right color or design that you will be happy with.Our Goldilocks pushchair is a light pushchair with puncture-proof tires as well as a huge bouncy suspension, and hoods that you can pull down to protect your child from the elements. It offers the perfect balance of comfort, for both your child and yourself. It's stylish and stylish brushed twill, with faux leather handles and leatherette trims. It has a classic style but is also contemporary and fresh. It is also reasonably priced and comes with a range of useful accessories.PracticalityThe terms pushchair, pram, buggy and travel system are often used interchangeably but it's crucial to pick one that is suitable for your requirements and is compatible with your lifestyle. Look for compact stroller that can fold down into smaller sizes, because this can be helpful when transporting on public transport as well as in your car's boot or storage space at home. If you decide to buy a pram or travel system that has an additional baby seat, ensure that it snaps on easily to the chassis and can be removed without disturbing your baby (especially if they're sleeping).Many prams come with an ample storage basket beneath that will keep your shopping bags, bags and nappies in reach. They also have swivel wheels which make them easy to manoeuvre and steer in narrow shop aisles, or turn on the spot in busy areas such as beaches and parks. If you plan to use it in the countryside then you may want to choose a model with large all-terrain tyres which can cope with rough terrain and muddy trails.A stroller or pushchair is lighter than a pram and provides the convenience of a seat that can be adjusted to a variety of positions, which is ideal for newborns and babies who can sit up. A large canopy will protect your baby or toddler from the sun. Some models are also suitable for rain.Consider how the model is and whether you can carry it safely into the car boot or up the stairs (with or without a baby inside). They'll become heavier over time. It may be worth paying an extra amount to get a washable cover that makes cleaning up spillages or leaks from nappy diapers quick and easy. It's an excellent idea to test drive any pushchair or pram you're contemplating buying, to be able to observe how they feel and move and also how easy they are to fold and transport. You may also want to see whether the handlebars are comfortable to grip too.CleaningCleaning your pushchair on a regular basis can reduce the chance of mildew or mould. This includes cleaning any fabric components as soon as they are dirty and giving them a thorough wash every couple of weeks or more often. Utilizing a deodoriser or a fabric freshener regularly can help reduce odours and stop the accumulation of grime that can cause the growth of mould spores, as well as an unhygienic environment for your baby.Before you start to clean your pushchair It's a good idea to clear away any toys and take off any covers or padding that can be removed. This will allow you to access and clean those difficult to reach places like the canopy, hood or the seat supports. Next, choose an area that is well-ventilated to work in and then lay down sheets or tarps to protect the floor and make cleaning as easy as you can. Utilize a vacuum cleaner with an adjustable nozzle to take out any food or dirt that may have gotten caught in the crevices and corners.If your pushchair has removable fabric sections, make sure you read the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and wash them according to the instructions (either by hand or by washing in a machine). If you're planning to wash your fabrics in prams you can do so with a solution made of warm water, mild soap or mild detergent. It is recommended to test the fabric's colourfastness on an area of a tiny size prior to using any cleaning product. Some chemicals can damage or bleach delicate fabrics.Stains and marks that are stubborn can often be tackled by adding a small amount of bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is a powerful stain remover that will lift various types of odours, including those caused by urine or milk. It also helps to remove any soap residues or detergent. When you're done, wash the fabric thoroughly to get rid of all traces of soap and hang it up to dry. Do this outside as sunlight is a natural conditioner and disinfectant.
