iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most frequently used baby products. They are durable and feature simple maintenance procedures. They have a high potential for circularity, if policy interventions ensure that secondhand prams are repaired and re-distributed to parents.

Prams are specifically designed for newborns and babies up to six months and usually include a carrycot or bassinet and lie flat. Some prams can be converted into a car-seat and can also accommodate a car-seat, so they are referred to as travel systems.

Parasol

Parasols are umbrellas which clip onto the frame of the pushchair. They offer shade to your child and prevent heatstroke. They are usually made from SPF/UPF 50+ fabrics and also offer protection against light rain. Many pushchairs have a built-in sun canopy or a pram umbrella that is removable If yours doesn't come with one, you can purchase an additional one. You can also get the snooze shade, prams which attaches to the seat of your single pram or carrycot and blocks the overhead light.

You can also include an infant footmuff. It's a soft fleece blanket that has a showerproof cover that shields your baby's legs from the cold. Many manufacturers include a footmuff in their pram bundles, or offer them separately within their accessories range. It is recommended to buy a footmuff equipped with an easy release clamp that is easy to connect and release.

Look for a model with four wheels if you plan to use your pushchair in rough terrain. They are more maneuverable on uneven surfaces and have larger tyres that can handle sharp objects and rocks. They weigh a bit more than pushchairs with three wheels. However, they are still comparatively lightweight and easy to control.

Regular maintenance is important for your pushchair in order to ensure it runs smoothly and ensures that your child is safe. You can clean your pushchair using an infant wipe or cloth dipped in warm soapy water. You should also consider investing in a silicone-based lubricant to lubricate the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair. Make sure that you tighten any loose screws. Consider a cleaning service for your pushchair that will be performed by a professional who will clean and examine your pushchair to ensure it's functioning in the way it ought to.

Parent facing

Parents love the ability to keep eye contact with their child when they use prams that face them. This visual connection can help build confidence and security, and can soothe toddlers and infants who are agitated. It also lets parents respond quickly to their children's needs, whether they need assurance or need a snack.

Many parents prefer to use a pram to transport newborns and babies, they may switch to a pushchair as their children grow older. The primary difference between a pram and a pushchair is that a pram typically comes with a carry cot for newborns to sleep in and a frame to attach it to. A pram can recline and be made forward-facing or parents-facing. A pushchair, on the other hand, is usually upright with no carry cot.

The selection of pushchairs and prams has been carefully curated with your baby in mind. Our selection of models includes adjustable seats, so you can recline your baby for a nap and then raise them up to enjoy watching the world go by. Some of our top pushchairs also feature sun canopies to protect your little one from the elements.

When selecting a pushchair, make sure it is easy to operate and that the brakes are functional. The chassis should also have two locking mechanisms that stop it from folding while in use. A safety harness is also vital to ensure your child's safety in the seat and prevent them from falling out. Additionally blankets for prams are often useful for keeping your child warm and safe from the weather. They are available in different colors and patterns to complement your pram.

Ergonomic support

The ergonomic support of the pram is a crucial feature that can help reduce back pain and tension. It makes sure that parents are at ease and are able to focus on their baby without having to worry about sore muscles. This feature helps parents and caregivers to maneuver the pram into tight spaces or over kerbs. This feature is particularly useful for taller parents, who might find it difficult to reach the handles of shorter pushchairs.

The support is incorporated into the handlebars and can be adjusted to match the height of the parent. This makes it easy to use for various body types and helps to find a position that is most comfortable for the user. The ergonomic support helps parents to maintain a natural posture and avoid injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome and shoulder pain.

A pushchair or pram can be a lifesaver to new parents, as it lets them explore the world with their baby. However, it's important to balance the time spent in the stroller or pram with plenty of time with the baby and physical exercise for the child. Many children are injured by prams and strollers every year and some require hospitalization due to falls from these devices. When prams tip over or bags are hooked to handles, injuries can happen.

Some prams can convert into a twin pushchair, making them an ideal choice for families with two babies. These types of prams are available from a variety of top brands and include features like reclining seat units and rain covers. The inclusion of the ride-on board can be useful for older toddlers who could be exhausted from walking.

Ride-on board

Prams and pushchairs are a must-have for parents who are new. These strollers are ideal to get around, whether going to a baby-friendly group or taking a leisurely walk in the park. They're also great for daily outings, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing time with your child.

Choosing the right pram or pushchair for your child will depend on their age and the needs. For babies and infants that are not yet able to walk, a pushchair with a carrycot is the best choice. They can lie on their backs, which is good for their spine and lungs development. You can also buy a ride-onboard that allows older kids to join in the fun.

Consider a pushchair that is able to grow with your child. They are perfect for twins and siblings of different age groups. Some models have a tandem configuration making them more maneuverable and easier to be able to watch.

Strollers and prams require regular cleaning to avoid mildew and mould, as well as dust build-up. Most components can be cleaned by vacuuming them or wiping them with warm soapy water and an absorbent towel. If you're concerned about the fabric, a specialised cleaning spray can be beneficial.

Make sure to check the tyres on a pushchair, especially if you're using it on rough terrain. The best tyres have a mixture of PU outer and EVA inside, which are similar to air-tyres in feel but much more durable. You can also include hand muffs and mudguards in order to keep your child comfortable and dry. You can also use a stroller organiser to store your baby's essentials. It is also important to check the fold of the stroller to ensure it fits in your car's boot and takes up only a small amount of storage space at home.
