Be sure that the pram you're looking at can do this, and that it can be used with a car seat pram seat, in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels move the pram, and offer your child a smooth ride. There are three common wheel types - rubber, foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has its pros and cons, based on what you intend to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are the most common and offer great grip on all surfaces. The only down side is that they may be punctured if they are inflated too much by a car tyre pump. However, this is usually caused by someone over inflating them and isn't a regular issue. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain buggies as well as buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are made of foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They also don't offer the same shock-absorbing capability and can feel more hard 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 tougher plastic material that is lighter and has some of the characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram for its low maintenance and weight reduction.

Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller is an important feature and will safeguard your child, you and other pedestrians. The majority of pushchairs have a brake pedal on the rear of the chassis. It can be activated either by pressing a lever, or button on the handlebars or by pressing down on your foot. The brakes should be simple to operate and should lock immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs also feature an in-wheel brake to provide stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is an easy-to-use portable cot that is able to be attached to the chassis of any pushchair. It is ideal for babies and infants up to six months of age, since they need to lie flat to develop their spine and lungs. A pram with carrycot is a great option for parents with a little space, a small boot or use public transport frequently.

Some prams are equipped with a carrying cot that can be folded into the frame. This lets you quickly switch between the seat and carriage modes. This is an excellent option for families with an insufficient car boot or use public transport often. It can help you save time and effort.

Canopy

A pram canopy will protect your child from the elements while providing a comfortable place for them to sleep. It's also great for preventing sunburn and heat stroke by blocking out the harsh sun's rays. Some models feature an open or mesh back section that can be unzipped to keep an eye on the little snoozer.

A hood can be particularly useful in winter too, allowing you to shield your baby's delicate skin from cold winds and rain. Some models include a rain cover which can easily be popped over the pram pushchair's canopy and secured by poppers. You can also buy an umbrella that is attached by magnets to the pram and folds away when not in usage.

To maintain your pushchair, you'll need to clean it regularly. This will ensure it is clean and free of mildew and stains. Start by vacuuming the hood with a small attachment or washing it in cool soapy water. Then you can clean any stains with a fabric brush or a gentle solution for sterilising. Remember to dry your fabric outside to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase cleaning products that will remove staining that is difficult to remove and leave your stroller looking like new.
