Ten Pushchairs That Really Improve Your Life

What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

Whether you're looking for a pushchair, pram with car seat or buggy there are a lot of factors to consider. Consider how much money you can afford, if you want something smaller or more spacious and how easy the buggy is to clean.

Safety

It is essential to adhere to safety guidelines when you are out with your baby in a pushchair or pram. This will ensure that your child is safe and comfortable. Check the pushchair or stroller's weight limits to prevent overloading, as this can result in damage or instability. Avoid placing any blankets or pillows in the pram, as this can be dangerous for your baby, especially if there is an accident. Don't let older children climb on the pram or stroller since it could pose a risk.

Many pushchairs and prams are designed to fold down into small dimensions when not in use, making them easier to store and transport in your car's boot or public transport. It is worth assessing the size of the pushchairs when folded as this can make a difference when you need to squeeze them into small spaces or climb up and down stairs.

If you're planning to take your pushchair or pram into more difficult terrain like fields, parks or even on beaches, it is recommended to look for models with off-road wheels because they are better suited to these kinds of environments.

Practicality

Choose models that fold down into smaller sizes, because this can be helpful when you're on public transport, in your car boot or storage space at home. If you opt for a compact travel pram system or pram with a separate infant seat, ensure that it can be easily attached to the chassis without disturbing your baby.

Many prams have a large storage basket under the seat to allow you to keep your shopping, bags and nappies close in your hand. The wheels are usually pivoting, making it simple to maneuver and steer in narrow aisles in shops or in areas with a lot of people, such as parks and beaches.

They typically have a wide canopy which will offer your baby or toddler with protection from the sun, and some models might also be suitable to use in the rain.

Consider how the model weighs and whether you are able to lift it out and in of your car boot or up the stairs to your home (with or without your baby in it!) - especially as they will become heavier with time. It may be worth paying more for a machine washable cover that makes cleaning up spillages or leaks from nappy diapers quick and simple. It's recommended to try out any prams or pushchairs you're considering buying too, so that you can see how they feel and move and also how easy they fold and carry.

This will make cleaning it simpler. It's also an ideal idea to use a vacuum cleaner with a flexible nozzle attachment to remove any dirt or food scraps that could be trapped in the corners and crevices.

If you have a pushchair car seat with removable fabric sections, begin by reviewing the care instructions of the manufacturer and washing them according to the instructions (either in the washing machine or by hand). Otherwise, it is generally safe to make use of warm water and mild soap (or a mild detergent) on most fabrics used in pushchairs. It is best to test the fabric's colourfastness on a small area before using any cleaning product. Certain chemicals can harm or bleach delicate fabrics.

Stains and marks that are stubborn are often cured by adding a small amount bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is an effective stain remover and will lift various types of odours including those caused by milk or urine. It also helps remove any soap or detergent residues. After you're done, wash the fabric thoroughly to eliminate any soap residue and hang it to dry. Do this outside, as sunlight is a natural fabric conditioner and disinfectant.
