Wheels

The wheels are what propel the pram and provide your child a safe ride. There are three standard wheel types: foam, rubber, and EVA (a more rigid plastic type). Each has pros and cons depending on the purpose you intend to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are most common and provide great grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured by using a car tyre compressor to inflate them too hard. This isn't a typical issue and is usually caused by who has inflated the wheels too much. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain buggies and running buggies.


PU or Polyurethane Wheels are stuffed with foam, which makes them lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock-absorbing capability and can feel more harsh on rough concrete surfaces. They are more common on prams than strollers, and are the cheapest option.

You can also buy cleaning products that will remove stubborn stains and leave your stroller looking like new.
