Wheels

The wheels of a pushchair are what allow it to move and what give your child the experience they need. There are three common wheel types - rubber foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has pros and cons, based on the purpose you intend to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. They are prone to puncturing using a compressor for car tyres to inflate them too hard. This is not a frequent issue and is usually caused by someone who has inflated the wheels too much. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain buggies and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are filled with foam, which makes them lighter than rubber tires. They also don't offer the same shock-absorbing capability and can feel more harsh on rough concrete surfaces. They are often seen on best prams than strollers and are generally the lowest cost option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic material that is light and has some of the characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used to replace PU or rubber in your pram for its low maintenance and overall weight reduction.

A strong and reliable brake system on your pram is a crucial feature that will safeguard your child, you and pedestrians. The majority of pushchairs have brake pedals on the rear chassis. It is activated by pressing a lever or a button on the handlebars or by pressing down your foot. The brakes must be easy to operate and should lock immediately when you press them. Some pushchairs have a brake on the middle wheel to provide extra stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is an easy-to-use portable cot that can be affixed to the chassis of any pushchair. It's a great choice for infants from six months old since they must lie flat in order to support their spinal and lung development. A carrycot-equipped pram is the perfect choice for parents who have little space, a small boot or use public transport often.

Some prams are equipped with a carrying cot that folds into the frame. This lets you easily switch between the carriage and seat modes.

In winter, a hood is a great way to protect your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Some models include rain covers that can easily be popped over the pram's canopy and secured with poppers.
