What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and BuggysThere are many factors to consider when choosing the best pushchair, buggy or pram. Consider the amount you're able to spend, whether you'd prefer a compact 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 a newborn carrycot or bassinet. Make sure they are flat as this is essential for the development of your baby's spine.SafetyIt is important to follow safety guidelines when you are out with your baby in a pushchair or pram. This will ensure that your child is safe and comfortable. Avoid overloaded strollers or pushchair to avoid damage or instability. Avoid placing pillows or blankets in the pram, because they could pose a risk for your baby, particularly in the event of an accident. Also, don't allow older children to use the stroller or pram because it could pose a risk.Choose a stroller that has extra padding, particularly in the headrest, to protect your child against hitting objects when out and around. A parent-facing mode is also a good option since it makes it quick and easy to monitor your baby and keep them content and at ease.Some prams and pushchairs come with the bassinet attachment, which is ideal for newborns to lie on their backs, cocooned and comfortable. Some prams and pushchairs come with a carrycot which can be removed when your baby is able to sit. Some prams also have a seat unit which can be switched between the two modes as your baby grows.Many pushchairs and prams are designed to fold down into smaller sizes when they are not in use, making them easy to store and carry in your car boot or on public transport. It is important to determine how compact they are when folded, as this could be a big difference when you need to fit them in small spaces or climb up and down steps.If you are planning to take your pram or stroller into areas with rougher terrain, like fields or parks or even at the beach, it is recommended to select an option with off-road wheels. These are better suited to these types of environments. Make sure that the wheels are filled with air as this will allow them to travel over rough terrain and will not break easily.For hot days, a parasol that attaches to the pushchair frame or a sunshade is a great way to shield your child from overheating and provide the needed shade. They can be bought separately or as a set of accessories for your pushchair. There are a variety of styles and colours available.ComfortA good pram should be comfortable to push for you and your baby. A soft cushioned seat liner with adjustable settings that allow your baby to lie flat or sway slightly (good for those who suffer from reflux) and a wide sun canopy are all helpful. Find a suspension that makes the ride smooth and a brake system that is responsive to stop quickly if you need to.It's essential that your pushchair is suitable for this position for the first couple of weeks. A majority of frames come with a carrycot for newborns, which then switches to the reclining seat when your little one is old enough. This means you can have both the pram and pushchair in the same frame.When you're choosing a pram, you'll need to consider your needs, such as how it's easy to move and the amount of storage space you'll need. It's a good idea to visit a shop that lets you test drive different pushchairs or prams to test how they feel and how they fold. You should also check out any accessories you might need, such as a footmuff or seat liner to keep your baby cool in summer and warm in winter.You'll also want to consider the overall style of your stroller. Does it match your lifestyle and personality. You'll use it for a long time so make sure you pick the right color or print that won't fade too quickly or make you regret your decision.Our Goldilocks pushchair is a light pushchair with puncture-proof wheels as well as a huge bouncey suspension, and hoods that you can lower to shield your baby from the elements. It offers the perfect balance of comfort both for your child as well as yourself.

You'll be able to take public transportation, in your car or at home if you opt for models that fold up. If you opt for a pram or travel system with a separate baby seat, make sure that it snaps easily onto the chassis and can be detached without disturbing your baby (especially in the case of sleep).A lot of prams have a large storage basket under which helps keep your bags, shopping and nappies within reach. They also typically have swivel wheels, which make them easy to manoeuvre and steer in narrow shop aisles, or to turn on the spot in crowded places like beaches and parks. If you plan to use the scooter in the countryside, you might want to choose a model that has large all-terrain tires that can handle rough terrain and muddy trails.A pushchair or stroller is lighter than a traditional pram, and the seat can be adjusted in various positions. This is great for infants who can sit up, or for newborns. twin pram have a large canopy that will provide your toddler or baby protection from the sun, and some models might also be suitable to use in the rain.Think about how heavy the model is and if you can comfortably lift it in and out of your car's boot or up the steps to your home (with or without your baby in it!) They'll become heavier as time passes. It may be worth paying an extra amount for a machine washable cover that makes cleaning up spillages or nappy leaks quick and simple. You should also test-drive any strollers or prams you are considering purchasing to test how they move and feel and to check how easy they fold up and transport. You may also want to check if the handlebars are comfortable to grip too.CleaningCleaning your pushchair on a regular basis will lower the risk of mould or mildew. This means cleaning any fabric components immediately after they become dirty and giving them a thorough wash every couple of weeks or as often. Regularly using a deodoriser or fabric freshener will help keep odours away and stop the accumulation of grime that can result in mould spores.Before you start to clean your pushchair, it's a good idea to clear away any toys, and to remove any padding or covers that can be removed. This will allow you to clean the hard-to-reach places, such as the hood or canopy. Make sure you choose an area with good ventilation to work in and lay down a sheet or tarp to protect the floor and make cleaning as easy as possible. Make use of a vacuum cleaner that has a flexible nozzle to remove any food particles or dirt that might have gotten stuck in the crevices and nooks.If your pushchair comes with removable fabric sections, check the manufacturer's cleaning instructions and wash them according to the instructions (either by hand or in the washing machine). Otherwise, it is generally safe to make use of a solution of warm water and mild soap (or mild detergent) on most fabrics used in prams. However, it's recommended to examine the fabric for the durability of its colour before applying any cleaning product as certain chemicals may cause damage or bleaching to delicate fabrics.Stains and marks that stick to the surface can often be tackled by adding a small amount bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is an effective stain remover and will lift many types of odours, for example, those triggered by urine or milk. It also helps to remove any soap residues or detergent. After you're done, rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove any soap residues and hang it to dry. Do this outside as sunlight is a natural conditioner and disinfectant.
