Seat
It is likely that your child will use the pram a lot and therefore it's crucial to ensure it's comfortable. Make sure you choose a model with adjustable handlebars, a comfortable seat padding, and a recline function so that you can easily lay your child to sleep. Make sure the pushchair comes with an 'parent facing (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' option for children who want to see more of what's going on around them.

When selecting a folding pram it is important to consider the overall dimensions. You don't want to have to worry about it taking up too much room in your home or car. Pick a model that is able to be folded easily and compact when folded to ensure it will fit. You can find out how easy or difficult it is by reading reviews (like the ones on MadeForMums).
A high-quality pram must fold completely flat, allowing your child to lay comfortably for the first six months of their life. This is essential for their development. Make sure the pram you're interested in can do this and that it is compatible with a car seat in the event that it is required.
Wheels
The wheels of a pram pushchair are what makes it move and provide your child the mobility they need. There are three common wheel types: rubber, foam, and EVA (a more rigid plastic type). Each type has pros and cons depending on what you intend to use your pushchair for.
Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and provide great grip on all surfaces. They are prone to puncturing using a compressor for car tyres to over inflate them. This is not a common problem, and is usually caused by someone who has inflated the wheels too much. This type of wheel is commonly used on all-terrain buggies and running buggies.
PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled which makes them 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 prevalent on strollers than in prams and are the most affordable option.
EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a harder plastic material that is light and has some properties of rubber but not as much. It can be used instead of PU or rubber to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the weight of your pram.
Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller is a crucial feature that can protect your child, you and pedestrians. Most pushchairs travel systems have brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars, or by pushing down with your foot. The brakes should be easy to operate and should lock immediately after you press them. Some pushchairs have a brake on the middle wheel to provide additional stability and control.
Carrycot
The carrycot is an easy-to-use portable cot that can be affixed to the frame of any pushchair. It's a great choice for infants from six months old since they must lie flat and be able to breathe, which is crucial for their lung and spine development. A pram with carrycot is the perfect choice for parents who have little space, a small boot or use public transport often.
Some prams come with a built-in carrying cot that folds into the frame. This allows you to quickly switch between the carriage and seat modes. This is an excellent option for families with a small car boot or those who have to use public transport a lot as it can save time and effort.

It's a great choice for new parents on a budget, as it's reasonably priced, yet is luxurious and looks. It's also durable and lightweight. It's also compact when folded.

Canopy
A pram canopy will protect your child from the elements while offering an ideal place to rest. It's also great for preventing heat stroke and sunburn by blocking out the harsh sun's rays. Some models have the option of a peekaboo window or the back mesh so you can monitor your snoozer's little one without disturbing them.
In winter, a hood can be an excellent way to shield your baby's delicate skin from the elements and rain. Some models include a rain cover that can be easily popped over the pram's canopy and secured with poppers. You can also buy an umbrella that is attached with magnets to the pram, and is easy to fold away when not being used.
Whichever model you choose, pushchair or pram, picking the right model is a huge decision and one that you will use frequently for many years to come. As your baby grows and develops, you'll want to ensure that they are safe and comfortable throughout every journey. A quality pram or pushchair will help your baby's spine and keep them comfortable during long walks or bumpy rides.
It's worth noting that prams tend to be more targeted towards babies and infants and babies, since they typically come with a bassinet, or carrycot that allows you to lay them flat, whereas pushchairs are more versatile and can convert to an infant seat as your child gets older.

If you have space sheds are the ideal option to shield your pram from damage resulting from the weather and keep it out the way when not being used.

A shed is made of wood or metal, and it is equipped with a door that permits easy access. It may also have locks and other security features. Garages are a popular option as it provides protection from the elements and be close to your car, if you're using it for transport.
If you don't have a garage or shed, you can put your pram in a closet in your home. This will keep it out of the way and will not require you to see it when you enter your house or your nursery. It might be difficult to reach if are hosting guests.
You'll have to clean your pushchair if you wish to keep it in good condition. This will ensure that it looks amazing and free of mildew and stains. Begin by vacuuming the hood with a small attachment, or rinsing in cool, soapy water. Then, you can work on any stains using a fabric brush or gentle sterilising solution. Make sure to dry the fabric on the outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy cleaning products that will remove staining that is difficult to remove and leave your pushchair looking like new again.
