iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most commonly used baby products. They are durable and come with simple maintenance processes. They also have the potential for circularity if policies are in place to ensure that secondhand prams are refurbished and distributed to new parents.

Prams are specifically designed for babies and newborns between six and six months old and usually include a carrycot or bassinet and are able to lie flat. Some prams can be converted to fit carseats, which is why they are called travel systems.

Parasol

A parasol is an umbrella that clips onto the frame of your pushchair to shade your baby and to stop heat stroke. They are usually made from SPF/UPF 50+ fabric and also offer protection against light rain. Many pushchairs come with an integrated sun canopy or a pram parasol that can be removed If yours doesn't have one you can buy an extra one. You can also use a snooze shade that attaches to the seat of your single pram or carrycot and blocks the overhead light.

You can also include a footmuff, which is a soft fleece blanket that has a showerproof cover that shields your baby's legs from the cold. Most brands sell footmuffs separately or as part of their pram bundles. It is recommended to purchase a footmuff that has a quick release clamp that is simple to connect and release.

Find a model with four wheels if you intend to use your pushchair on rough terrain. They are easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces and come with larger tyres that can handle sharp rocks and sharp objects. They are a bit heavier than three-wheeled pushchairs but still very light and easy to maneuver.

Regular maintenance is important for your pushchair to ensure it runs smoothly and keeps your child safe. You can clean your pushchair with an infant wipe or cloth that is soaked in warm soapy water. It's recommended to purchase a silicone-based lubricant for the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair, and re-tighten any loose screws. It's also worth considering an appointment with a pushchair technician, where a professional will inspect your pushchair and give it a thorough cleaning to ensure that everything is working just as it should.
