What to Look For in a Pushchair A pushchair is a great option from the beginning of a child’s life. It can be used as a stroller or pram and is packed with features parents will love.

Safety Safety is the most crucial factor to think about when choosing the right pushchair for your toddler or a baby. It is essential that the pushchair comes with a five-point safety harness that is securely fastened. The harness should be able to comfortably fit around the child's waist, shoulders and between his legs. It should also feature buckles that can be easily attached and removed. The handlebars should also be positioned to stop children from wriggling away from the seat. A pushchair must also be built with a wide base for stability and should be free of any hazards such as sharp or curly edges which could cause injuries. Some pushchairs come with wheels that are locked that are perfect for off-road use. It can prevent the wheel from falling off. Brakes are also essential and should be easily accessible. They should be simple to install and come with an effective lock. Some pushchairs have wrist tether straps that provide security. All strollers, buggies, and prams must be used with care and regularly inspected. Don't overload prams or buggies with luggage, and always secure the 5-point safety belt. Children should not play with the folding mechanism of the pushchair and parents should ensure their fingers are away from any places in which they could be caught. A lot of pushchairs come with a removable carrycot or bassinet which is ideal for newborns because they must lay flat to sleep. This is particularly important due to the possibility of SIDS. Babies who travel in a straight position for too long may suffer breathing problems as they cannot breathe properly in a scrunched up position. Certain manufacturers produce single and double pushchairs suitable for different ages. Some of these can be converted into prams using an adapter, or by altering the seat unit. It is important that any pushchairs or prams that are made for older children have a backrest that is fully reclined since babies are required to lay flat until they reach about six months old.

Some pushchairs are safe for use from birth if they have a seat that can lie flat and have a safety harness that is suitable. Make sure the description of the pushchair clearly states it can be used from birth and that it has a fully reclining seat to allow your baby to sleep in a flat position, which is vital for their development. The pushchairs usually fold up into a compact bundle and are easy to keep in your car or at home. With the addition of a car seat or carrycot they can be used as a part of an entire travel system. A pram is also called a bassinet, baby carriage or a baby carriage. It is made specifically for infants and newborns. It has an area for sleeping that is flat and allows your baby to sleep on their backs and sleep, which is essential for their lungs and spinal development. A pram can also be ideal for toddlers and older babies, from around six months. Comfort Comfort is key when buying the perfect pushchair for your child.

Some models offer the option to connect a carrycot to the frame. You can then easily transfer your baby from the car to the pushchair without causing any disturbance to him. A lightweight pushchair is essential for anyone who plans on travelling with your baby. It will be more easy to put into a car or boot and is smaller to store in your home. It's also easier to maneuver in busy places and on public transport. Accessories There are numerous accessories for pushchairs available which can make life with your baby easier and more convenient. Shades and raincovers are available to fit comfortably on top of the pushchair and create a barrier to keep your baby dry while shielding them from harmful UV radiation.

Also, you should consider a stroller that has the option to switch the seat from facing the parent to facing the child at the push of one button. double pram is a great feature as your child grows older and you must be on the lookout for them. Other features worth looking for are the kind of wheels your pushchair has and whether they are fixed, swivel or lockable. The dimensions of the wheels will differ with larger wheels usually giving a smoother ride. You should also check whether the pushchair comes with pneumatic tyres or the most recent innovation called PU tyres. They have all the advantages of air tyres but without the risk of punctures. You should also consider the fold function and the weight of your pushchair, as this will affect the ease of transport and store. Some models have a smaller footprint when folded, and can be easily tucked away in the trunk of your car, or in the overhead compartments on public transport.
