Seat

It's likely that your baby will use the pram frequently and therefore it's crucial to ensure it's comfortable. Make sure you choose a model with adjustable handlebars, comfortable seat padding and a recline feature to allow you to lay your child to sleep. Check that the pushchair has a 'parent facing (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' option for children who want to see more of what's going on around them.

When you're choosing a stroller it is important to consider the overall size. You don't want to have to be concerned about it taking up too much room in your home or car.

A quality pram must be able to lay flat when folded, making sure that your baby gets a fully supported lie down during the first six months, which is vital for their development. Check that the pram that you are considering is able to do this, and also that it is compatible with a car seat should it be required.

Wheels

The wheels of a pushchair are what allow it to move and what give your child the experience they need. There are 3 common wheel types - rubber foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each type has pros and cons based on what you intend to use your pushchair.

Rubber wheels are the most popular and provide great grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured using a compressor for car tyres to inflate them too hard. This isn't a typical problem and is usually caused by over-inflating the wheel. This type of wheel is usually used on all-terrain buggies and buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled which makes them lighter than rubber tyres. They don't have the same shock absorbing ability and can sometimes feel more harsh on rough concrete surfaces. They are more commonly found on prams than strollers, and are the cheapest option.


EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a tougher plastic that is lightweight and has some characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram for its ease of maintenance and weight reduction.

It is essential to have a reliable brake system in your pram. This will protect you as well as your child and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs feature a brake pedal on the rear chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars or by pressing down on your foot. The brakes should be easy to operate and should be locked as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for added stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a light portable cot that connects to the frame of the pushchair. It's a great choice for newborns up to around six months old as they need to lie flat in order to support their lung and spinal development.

Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that can be folded into the frame. This lets you quickly change between the carriage and seat modes.
