It is crucial to consider the overall dimensions of a pram before you choose one, as you do not want it to take up too much space in your car trunk or your living space. Pick a model that is able to be folded easily and compact when folded to ensure it can fit.

Wheels

The wheels of a pushchair are what allow it to move and provide your child the experience they require. There are three common wheel types: rubber, foam and EVA (a harder plastic type). Each has pros and cons depending on what you intend to use your pushchair.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used, and they provide excellent grip on all surfaces. The only drawback is that they could be punctured if they are inflated too hard using the pump of a car tyre. However it is usually caused by someone over inflating them, and isn't an everyday issue. This type of wheel is typically used on buggies that run all-terrain.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are filled with foam so they are lighter than rubber tyres. They do not have the same shock-absorbing ability and can feel more abrasive on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more commonly found on strollers than in prams and are the most affordable option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic material that is lighter and has some characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used in lieu of rubber or PU to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

It is important to have reliable brakes in your pram. This will protect you, your child and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis. It can be activated by pressing a button or lever on the handlebars or pressing down with your feet. The brakes should be simple to operate and should lock as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs have brakes on the middle wheel to provide added stability and control.

Carrycot

It's a great option for infants from six months old since they require a flat position and be able to breathe, which is crucial for their lung and spinal development.
