iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most commonly used baby products. They are durable, and maintenance is easy. They also have a high chance for circularity if policies are in place to ensure that second-hand prams are renovated and redistributed to new parents.

Prams are specifically designed for newborns and babies up to six months They usually come with a bassinet or carrycot and lay flat. Some prams are able to be converted and also fit a car seat, hence they are known as travel systems.

Parasol

A parasol is an umbrella that clips onto the frame of your pushchair to shade your baby and to prevent heat stroke. They are constructed of SPF/UPF50+ fabric and offer protection from rain that is light. Many pushchairs come with a built-in 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 get a snooze shade, which attaches to the seat of your carrycot or single pram and blocks sunlight from overhead.

You can also include a footmuff, which is an ultra-soft fleece blanket with an insulated shower cover that protects your baby's legs from the cold. A majority of brands include a footmuff in their pram bundles or offer them separately in their accessories range. It is recommended to get a footmuff with a quick release clamp that is simple to attach and remove.

If you are planning to take your pushchair on rough terrain, look for an all-wheel model. They are easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces push chairs and prams come with larger tyres that can take on sharp rocks and sharp objects. They are slightly heavier than pushchairs with three wheels, but are quite light and easy to move.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your pushchair to ensure it operates smoothly and protects your child. You can clean it with a cloth and warm soapy water or baby wipes. It's recommended to purchase an oil-based silicone lubricant for the joints and wheel bearings of your pushchair, and re-tighten any loose screws. Consider a pushchair sale cleaning service which will have a professional clean and examine your pushchair to ensure it's operating as it should.

Footmuff

If you're looking to upgrade your current pram or pushchair, or purchase your first one you will find that the iCandy collection includes something for everyone. You're sure to find something that will suit your family from the wide variety of styles and colors.

The footmuffs are an excellent way to keep your baby warm during the winter. They're made of fleece, and they're water-resistant. This makes them a great option for cold weather. They're also cozy, comfortable and the perfect accessory for your baby. They're also easy to use, and they can be easily fitted. Make sure to verify the size of your baby and stroller prior to using the footmuff. Otherwise, it could bunch up or move around. This could pose an issue of safety, as it may be a barrier to your baby's face.

A footmuff is an excellent addition to any pram or pushchair newborn, particularly in colder climates. It will keep your baby's toes warm and cozy in the winter months and is easy to use. You can also adjust the temperature simply by closing or opening the zipper. Some brands even come with an extra hood to protect in bad weather.

It's important that you make sure your baby is prepared before buying a footmuff. The softness of the footmuff can be uncomfortable for newborns. They require an appropriate mattress that supports their spine. Some footmuffs are made for use from birth to toddlerhood, and some even have a double zip arrangement at the bottom, so you make the most use of it. They are able to be used for several years and are a good investment for parents.

Parent facing

Parents love the ability to keep eye contact with their child when they use a pram that is facing them. This visual connection can build trust and security, and calm fussy toddlers and infants. This enables parents to respond to the needs of their child quickly, whether it is the need for reassurance or snacks.

Many parents use a stroller for their infants but as they get older, they could switch to an infant pushchair. A pram is different from a pushchair in the sense that it typically has a carry-cot for newborns and frames to mount it. A pram can be reclined, and made forward-facing or parent-facing and a pushchair is usually upright and does not come with a carry cot option.

The selection of prams and pushchairs have been carefully curated with your baby in mind. Some of our models come with adjustable seats, so you can recline the seat to allow your baby to nap, then raise it back up to watch them explore the world. Some of our favorite pushchairs prams (check out the post right here) also have sun canopy to shield your child from the elements.

When selecting a stroller be sure that it is easy to use and that the brakes are working. The chassis should also be equipped with two locking devices that prevent it from folding during use. Furthermore, a proper safety harness is vital for protecting your child's seat and keeping them from falling out of the pushchair. In addition to this, a pram blanket is often useful in keeping your child warm and safe from the weather. They are available in a variety of colours and patterns to complement your pram.

Ergonomic support

The ergonomic support provided by a pram is an important feature that helps to reduce tension and back pain. It ensures that parents are relaxed and able to concentrate on their baby without worrying about aching muscles. This feature also makes it easier for parents to maneuver the stroller in tight spaces or over kerbs. This feature is particularly beneficial for taller parents who may find it difficult to reach the handles of shorter pushchairs.

The support can be adjusted in accordance with the height of the parents. This makes it easy to use for various body types and helps to find the position that is comfortable for the user. The ergonomic support helps parents to maintain a more natural posture and avoid injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome and shoulder pain.

A pram or pushchair can be lifesaver for new parents as it allows them to travel with their child. It is important to balance the time spent in the stroller or pram with plenty of tummy time and physical exercise for the child. Every year, many children are injured while using strollers or prams. Some require hospital treatment after falling from these devices. Injuries can happen when prams tip over or when bags are tied onto the handles.

Some prams are convertible into twin pushchairs, making them an excellent option for families with infants. These prams come from a variety of top brands and include features such as reclining seats and raincovers. A ride-onboard can be useful for older toddlers that are tired of walking.

Ride-on board

Prams and pushchairs are a must for new parents. These strollers are great for getting around, whether you're going to a baby-friendly group or taking a leisurely walk in the park. They're also ideal for everyday outings and allow you to enjoy a relaxing time with your child.

Choosing the best pram or triple pushchair for your child is based on their age and needs. For newborns and babies, a pram with an infant carrycot is best. They can lay flat, which is crucial for their spinal and lung development. You can also purchase a ride-onboard, which allows older children to join in the fun.

Think about a pushchair that will expand with your child. They are perfect for twins and siblings of different ages. Some even come with a tandem arrangement which makes them easier to maneuver and keep an eye on.

Strollers and prams need regular cleaning to prevent mildew and mould, as well as dust build-up. The majority of the components can be cleaned by vacuuming them or wiping them with warm soapy water and an absorbent towel. If you're worried about the fabric, a special cleaning spray can help.

Make sure to check the tyres on a pushchair, especially if you're using it on rough terrain. The best tyres are those composed of a mix of PU outer and EVA inner, which resemble the air-tyre feel but are much more durable. You can also add the mudguard as well as a hand muff that will keep your child dry and comfortable. You can also utilize the stroller organizer to keep all of your baby's necessities. It is important to know how the pushchair can be folded to ensure that it fits in your car's boot or use as little space as possible at home.
