Seat
A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment you purchase so it's important that it's comfortable for your young one. Look for models with comfy cushioned seats, an adjustable handlebar height and recline function to let you get your child asleep. Make sure that the pushchair features a 'parent-facing' (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' option for children who want to be able to see more of what's happening around them.

It is crucial to consider the overall dimensions of a pram when choosing one, since you do not want it to take up too much space in the trunk of your car or in your living space. Choose a model that can be folded easily and is compact when folded to ensure it will fit. Consider how easy to fold and then read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a clear sense of how simple or difficult it is to maneuver fold, store and store.
A quality pram must fold completely flat, allowing your baby to lay comfortably throughout the first six months of their life. This is vital for their development. Check that the pram you're looking at can do this, and that it can be used with a car seat if needed.
Wheels
The wheels move the pram and give your child a smooth ride. There are three common wheel types: rubber, foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has pros and cons based on what you intend to use your pushchair.
Rubber wheels are most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only downside is that they can be punctured if inflated too quickly by a car tyre pump. However, this is usually due to someone over-inflating them and isn't a regular issue. This type of wheel is typically used on buggies that run all-terrain.
PU or Polyurethane wheels are filled with foam so they are lighter than rubber tyres. They don't have the same shock absorption capabilities, and can feel harsher on rough concrete surfaces. They are seen more on prams than strollers and are typically the lowest cost option.
EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic material that is light and has some of the characteristics of rubber, but not as much. It can be used in lieu of rubber or PU to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the weight of your pram.
The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your stroller is a must and can protect you, your baby and pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars, or by pressing down with your feet. The brakes should be easy to operate and should be locked when you press them. Some pushchairs have brakes on the middle wheel to provide added stability and control.
Carrycot
The carrycot is a simple-to-use portable cot that is able to be attached to the chassis of any pushchair. It's perfect for infants and babies up to six months of age, as they must lay flat to develop their spine and lung capacity. A carrycot in a pram is a great option for parents who are tight in space or have a small car boot or who use public transport a lot.
Some prams pushchairs are equipped with a carrying cot that can be folded into the frame. This lets you quickly switch between the seat and carriage modes. This is a great option for families with a small car boot or who have to travel strollers by public transport frequently since it will save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has a high score with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's an excellent choice for parents who are on a budget, as it's affordable and is luxurious and looks. It's also sturdy, lightweight, and compact when folded.

Canopy
A pram canopy is perfect to protect your baby from the elements while providing a cosy spot for them to sleep. It's also great for preventing sunburn and heat stroke by blocking the harsh sun's rays. Some models have a mesh back or peekaboo section that you can unzip to monitor the tiny snoozer.
A hood can be useful in winter it allows you to protect your baby's delicate skin from cold winds and rain. Some models come with rain covers that is easily popped over the canopy of the pram and secured with poppers.

Storage
There are numerous options for folding pram storage, depending on your budget as well as the space available. If you have space, a shed is an excellent option to shield your pram from damage caused by the elements and keep it out of the way when not in use. This is an excellent option in areas that experience frequent snow or rain.
A shed is constructed out of metal or wood and has doors that allow to make it easy to access. It may also come with locks or other security features. Another popular option is a garage, which will protect you from the elements and will be close to your vehicle, if that's the option you choose.
If you do not have garage space, you can store the pram in your home's closet. It will be kept out of the way, so you don't have to glance at it every time you enter your home or your nursery. However, it may be difficult to access if you have guests coming over.
To keep your pushchair in good condition it's best to clean it regularly. This will ensure it looks great and is free of stains and mildew. Begin by vacuuming the hood using an attachment small in size, or rinsing in cool soapy water. Then, use a gentle sterilizing agent or a fabric brush to remove any stain. It is important to dry the fabric thoroughly outdoors to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase a cleaner that will help remove the most stubborn stains and make your pushchair look like new again.
