iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most commonly used baby products. They are durable and maintenance is simple. They have a good chance for circularity, if policy interventions ensure that second-hand prams are refurbished and re-distributed back to parents.

Prams are specifically designed for babies and newborns from 6 months to six months, they often come with a carrycot or bassinet and lie flat. Some prams can be converted and can accommodate car seats too, so they're referred to as travel systems.

Parasol

Parasols are umbrellas that attach onto the frame of the pushchair. They offer shade to your child and prevent heatstroke. They are made of SPF/UPF50+ materials and offer protection from light rain. Many pushchairs have an integrated sun canopy or a removable pram parasol If yours doesn't have one you can buy an extra one. You can also use a snooze shade, which attaches to the seat of your single carrycot or pram and blocks sunlight from overhead.

You can also put in a footmuff, which is a soft fleece blanket with a showerproof cover that protects your baby's legs from the cold. Many brands sell footmuffs on their own or include them in their pram bundles. It is recommended to get a footmuff with an easy release clamp that is easy to attach and release.

Look for a model with four wheels if you are planning to use your pushchair on rough terrain. They are more adept at maneuvering on uneven surfaces, and have larger tyres that can cope with sharper objects and rocks. They are slightly heavier than three-wheeled pushchairs but still quite light and easy to move.

It is crucial to keep your pushchair in good condition to ensure that it is operating smoothly and your child is secure. You can clean it using an old cloth and warm soapy water or baby wipes. It's also a good idea to invest in a silicone-based lubricant for the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair, and tighten any loose screws. Consider a cleaning service for your pushchair where a professional will clean and examine your pushchair to ensure that it's operating as it ought to.

Parent facing

Parents love the ability to keep eye contact with their child in prams that are oriented towards parents. This visual connection can help build trust and security and can calm fussy infants and toddlers. This enables parents to respond to their child's needs quickly, whether that's assurance or a snack.

Many parents utilize a stroller for their newborns, but as they grow older, they might switch over to the pushchair. A pram differs from a pushchair pram in that it typically has an infant carry-cot and frames to attach it. A pram can recline, and can be made forward-facing or parents-facing. A pushchair, on the other hand, is usually upright with no carry cot.

A safety harness is crucial to keep your child secure in the seat and prevent them from falling out.

Ergonomic support

The ergonomic support on a pram is an important feature that helps reduce tension and back pain. It ensures that parents are relaxed and able to concentrate on their child without having to worry about aching muscles. This feature allows parents and caregivers to maneuver the pram into tight spaces or over kerbs. It is especially helpful for taller parents who have trouble reaching the handles of smaller pushchairs.

The support can be adjusted to the height of the parents. This makes it simple to use for different body types and to locate a position that is most comfortable for the user. The ergonomic support also helps parents to maintain a natural posture and avoid injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and shoulder pain.

A pushchair or pram can be lifesaver for new parents since it allows them the freedom to explore the world with their child. But, it's crucial to balance any time spent in the pram or stroller with plenty of time with the baby and physical exercise for the child. Many children are injured by prams or strollers each year, and some even require hospitalization for falls caused by these devices. Injuries can happen when prams tip over or when bags are tied to handles.

Some prams convert into twin pushchairs, which makes them a fantastic choice for families with babies.

A ride-on board is beneficial for older toddlers who are tired of walking.

You can also add an oarguard and a hand muff to keep your child dry and comfortable. You can also use a stroller organizer to store all your baby's essentials.
