Guide to Buying a Pushchair or Pram
Your pushchair or pram is likely be used on a daily basis well through the toddler years, so it is important to find one that best suits your needs. Naturally, safety and comfort should be high on your priority list, but here are a few more things you should consider:
Your Lifestyle: Depending on how you travel the most should be considered when buying a pushchair or pram… If you drive a lot you need to make sure the pram will fold down easily to fit into the car’s trunk. If you walk a lot, then ensure good suspension, maneuverability and stability. If you are heavily dependent on public transport then make sure you choose a lightweight model and are comfortable with how quickly and easily the pushchair can fold down.
Space: You will need to ensure that the pushchair or pram will be able to fit into the spaces you will need it to - standard size doorways, back seat of a car, baggage holder in a bus or train, etc.
Weight: If a lot of lifting and climbing of stairs is expected, choose a lightweight pushchair or pram. Trying to coerce a heavier model up or down stairs isn’t safe for you or baby.
Your Height: Of course, all parents want their baby’s comfort to be the most important thing, but it is always worth considering your own height. If you are tall you won’t want to choose a model that has you bending down, as you can get a bad back. Make sure the model will be suitable for all the people who will be using it.
Wheel Type: Unless you need the additional stability offered by the fixed-position, oversize wheels found on joggers and larger prams, fully independent wheels are recommended.
Portability: Many parents have two pushchair or prams for various needs. A full-size pushchair or pram is great for longer, bumpier rides, while the ultracompact umbrella fits everywhere from trunks to overhead bins on planes. If you buy only one pushchair or pram, keep portability at the top of your list.
Sanity-Saving Features: As with cars, there are many innovative and time-saving pushchair or pram features available. Some models offer the beloved one-hand-fold feature; others have all-terrain wheels; others include parent trays. Plan ahead and think about what you can and cannot live without.
Cost: If you want, you could spend hundreds on a pushchair or pram. The basic rule of thumb is to remember what is usually the case in most things - the more expensive the model, the better the quality. Decide what features you must have and which ones are not quite so necessary. Remember though, this pushchair or pram will be with you for many years so think of it as an investment into your childs comfort and safety.
