Seat

A pram is likely to be one of the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment you buy so it's crucial to make sure it's comfortable for your young one. Find models with comfortable seat padding, adjustable handlebar height and a recline function that allows you to lay your child down.

It is important to think about the overall size of a pram when selecting, as you do not want it to take up too much space in your car trunk or in your living area. Choose a model that can be folded up easily and compact when folded to ensure it fits. Consider how easy to fold and then read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a true idea of how easy or difficult it is to manoeuvre fold, store and store.

Wheels

The wheels of a Pram pushchair (edgerglove79.werite.net) are what makes it move and provide your child the experience they need. There are three standard wheel types: foam, rubber and EVA (a more rigid plastic type). Each wheel type has pros and cons depending on the way you plan to use your stroller.

Rubber wheels are most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. They are prone to puncturing using a car tyre compressor to over inflate them. However, this is usually caused by someone over inflating them and isn't a regular issue. This wheel type is often used on all-terrain and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are filled with foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock absorbing ability and can feel more hard on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are often seen on prams pushchairs prams rather than strollers and are generally the lowest cost option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic material that is lighter and has some characteristics of rubber, but not as much. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram due to its low maintenance and overall weight reduction.

It is crucial to have reliable brakes in your stroller. This will safeguard you your child, as well as other pedestrians. Most pushchairs feature a brake pedal on the rear of the chassis. It can be activated either by pressing a lever or a button on the handlebars, or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes should be easy to operate and should lock when you press them. Some pushchairs have a brake on the middle wheel to provide extra stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a light portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pushchair. It's perfect for newborns and babies up to six months of age, as they have to lay flat to develop their spine and lung capacity. A carrycot in a pram is a great option for parents who are limited in space and have a tiny car boot or use public transport a lot.

Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that can be folded into the frame. This lets you easily change between carriage and seat modes. This is a great option for families with a tiny car boot or those who have to use public transport a lot since it will save time and effort.
