PU or Polyurethane Wheels are made of foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They do not have the same shock-absorbing ability, 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 properties of rubber but not as much. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram for its low maintenance and weight reduction.

It is essential to have a reliable brake system in your pushchair. This will safeguard you as well as your child and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs have a brake pedal 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 foot. The brakes must be simple to operate and should lock as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs also have an in-wheel brake to provide stability and control.

Carrycot
