Some prams can be converted to pushchairs, like the iCandy Peach 7 – a premium single-to-double pushchair that can be used from birth (with carrycot) and up to 25kg (15kg on elevators). It is crucial to remember that infants less than six months old should not be transported in a pushchair that isn't able to recline completely flat. When they are in a crouching posture, it can affect their breathing as they breathe in more air than normal. This could lead to respiratory issues in the future. A pushchair is a chair on wheels that folds, typically, to a small size. It's usually geared towards toddlers and older babies until about three years old. They're often made from an extra durable material than a pram.

When you are choosing a pushchair or pram choose one with a safety harness which includes quick and simple clips and connections. Check that the buckles aren't loose and that the straps fit snugly around your baby's waist. Choose a model that have a larger base as they will be more stable than those with a smaller base. Beware of overloading your pushchair and pram with toys. This can cause the pushchair to tip over, and your baby could be thrown out. Similarly, don't put things in the storage basket that could fall out and hurt your baby – this includes drinks, toys and snacks. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer when cleaning your stroller or pram. If you are cleaning the fabric or the hood of your pram, be sure you dry it outside thoroughly. This will stop the growth of mould or mildew. It's a great idea wash the removable footmuff on your pushchair or pram prior to when you return to it in winter. This can be accomplished by taking the fabric off and washing it in cool water with soap, and then letting it air dry outside. It's also an excellent idea to scrub any dirt or mud off of the wheels and axles. Experts suggest that infants lie flat as soon as they can in a pushchair or pram . This will help their development and lessen back pain later in life. Under the General Product Safety Regulations of 2005, both retailers and manufacturers are required to provide products that will be safe for normal or regular use. This applies to both new and second-hand prams and strollers. Style While some parents are after the most efficient set of wheels they can get their hands on, many want a pram or pushchair that is as stylish as their new bundle of joy. There are a variety of high-end prams and pushchairs available that combine top-quality engineering with stylish designs that are both eye-catching and practical. The first thing to consider when choosing a pushchair or pram is the padding and the options for adjustability. Babies are messy and therefore having a pushchair that's easy to clean is crucial. This is true especially when you plan to take your stroller on long walks over rough terrain, or over dirt and gravel. Look for a pushchair with removable seats and recline mechanisms that can be washed by machine. Check that the fabric can be washed by machine to keep your baby comfortable and dry. Another thing to consider is the direction that your baby will be facing in their pushchair. Most 'from birth' pushchairs allow you to switch the seat to face towards parents (facing towards the parent to provide reassurance and bonding) or world facing so they can explore the world around them. Some pushchairs offer this feature also however it's not required for all models and may be an optional feature. Combination prams, also referred to as 3-in-1 prams, are an increasingly popular choice for families as they can accommodate a bassinet basket and a pushchair seat on the same frame. They are designed to be used right from birth and are suitable for babies up to six-months old. A travel system is similar to a combination stroller in that it allows the attachment of a car seat to the frame, with adaptors. These are great for babies and toddlers from birth to three years old and can be cheaper than buying separate products. Twin prams and pushchairs are a great choice for twins or siblings who require safety and comfort. These are available in many styles and can be fitted either with one car seat or a double one. Storage In addition to providing comfort and safety for your child the pram or pushchair needs to offer plenty of storage space for all the necessities. Look for models with a large shopping basket to contain all your baby's supplies including spare clothes, changing equipment, water bottles, and even snacks. Some include the child's or parent's compartment that is ideal for storing all of your personal things. If you're looking for a pram with more storage space, opt for a convertible model that has different configurations. Extra space is important especially if you want to take your child on long walks or to be away from home. Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the ability to maneuver. Opt for swivel wheel options to easily navigate narrow passageways, and look out for locking brakes that are responsive enough to stop quickly. If you're considering a lightweight model, ensure it has the right suspension system and foldable dimensions for simple storage and transportation. If you're looking for something that is more durable for off-road use, select an option with strong all-terrain wheels able to cope with rougher surfaces than pavements. The main difference between a pram and pushchair is that a pram provides an easy, flat sleeping position for newborns, while pushing chairs are more designed for older children and toddlers who can sit up on their own. Some prams are convertible into pushchairs, by removing the bassinet, and replacing it with an adult's seat. Other models such as the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle can convert into a carrycot, or car seat. Whichever type of pram or pushchair you decide to purchase, make sure to read online reviews and ask for suggestions from family and friends. If possible, test-drive several models before making your choice to get an idea of how they feel and fold, and how heavy they are. Consider a convertible vehicle, which can be used for one or two children. This will save you money as you don't have to buy an entirely new set of wheels every time your child grows.
