Seat
A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment that you purchase so it's important that it's comfortable for your little one. Choose a model with a comfortable cushioned seats, an adjustable handlebar height and a recline function that allows you to get your child asleep. Make sure the pushchair comes with an 'parent facing (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' feature if your child wants to observe more of what's happening around them.

It is important to think about the overall size of the pram when choosing one, since you don't want it to take up too much space in the trunk of your car or in your living space. Select a model that can be folded easily and compact when folded to ensure it fits. Find out how easy it is to fold and then read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) for a real sense of how simple or difficult it is to move, fold and store.
A good quality pram should be able to lie completely flat when folded. This will ensure that your baby gets a fully supported lie down for their first six months, which is essential for their development. Make sure that the pram you are considering can do this, and that it is compatible with a car seat should it be required.
Wheels
The wheels of a pushchair are what make it move and what give your child the ride they require. There are three 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 most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only downside is that they can be punctured if inflated too much with a car tyre pump. However it is usually due to someone over-inflating the tires and isn't a common problem. This type of wheel is usually used on all-terrain buggies, as well as buggies that run.
PU or Polyurethane Wheels are filled with foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock-absorbing capabilities and can feel more abrasive on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are often seen on prams than strollers and are generally the lowest cost option.
EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a harder plastic material that is light and has some of the properties of rubber but not as much. It can be used instead of PU or rubber for low maintenance and to reduce the overall weight of your pram.
It is crucial to have a reliable brake system in your foldable stroller. This will protect you as well as your child and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs feature brake pedals on the rear of the chassis. It is activated by pressing a lever, or button on the handlebars or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes must be simple to operate and should lock immediately after you press them. Some pushchairs have a mid-wheel brake for added stability and control.
Carrycot
The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that attaches to the chassis of the pushchair. It is a fantastic option for infants from six months old as they need to lie flat and be able to breathe, which is crucial for their lung and spine development. A carrycot-equipped pram is a great choice for parents who have little space, a small boot or who use public transport frequently.
Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that folds into the frame. This allows you to easily change between carriage and seat modes. This is a great option for families with a small car boot or those who have to travel by public transport often because it saves time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly reviewed by MFM home testers and won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a good choice for parents who are who are on a tight budget, as it's reasonably priced, yet is stylish and luxurious, as well as being sturdy, lightweight and compact when folded.

Certain models come with a rain cover that can be easily put over the canopy of the pram and secured with poppers.
