iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are one of the most frequently used baby products. They are durable and maintenance is simple. They are a great candidate for circularity if policies ensure secondhand prams get refurbished and distributed to parents.

Prams are designed for babies and newborns between six and six months old, they often come with a bassinet or carrycot and are able to lie flat. Some prams can be converted and also fit a car seat, hence they are known as compact travel stroller systems.

Parasol

A parasol is an umbrella that is attached to the frame of your pushchair to provide shade for your baby and help stop heat stroke. They are usually made from SPF/UPF 50+ fabric and also provide protection against light rain. Many pushchairs come with an integrated sun canopy or a pram parasol that can be removed, but if yours doesn't come with one, you can purchase an additional one. You can also make use of shade snooze, which can be attached to single prams or carrycots to block out any overhead sun.

You can also purchase a footmuff. It's a soft blanket with a waterproof cover to protect the legs of your baby from cold. Many brands sell footmuffs on their own or include them in their pram bundles. It is a good idea to purchase a footmuff that has an easy release clamp that is simple to connect and release.

Look for a model with four wheels if you plan to use your pushchair in rough terrain. They are better at manoeuvring on uneven surfaces, and also have larger tyres which can withstand sharper objects and rocks. They weigh a bit more than three-wheel pushchairs, but still relatively light and easy to handle.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your pushchair to ensure it runs smoothly and protects your child. Clean it with an old cloth and warm soapy baby wipes or water. It is also recommended to invest in a silicone lubricant that will grease the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair. Secure any loose screws. It's also worth looking into the option of a pushchair service where a professional will inspect your pushchair and give it a thorough deep clean to ensure that everything is working as it should be.

Footmuff

Whether you are looking to upgrade your existing pushchair or pram, or purchase your first one, the iCandy collection has something for all. With a wide range of colours and styles available, you're sure to find the perfect match for your family.

It's also simple to alter the temperature by closing or opening the zipper. Certain brands come with a hood to provide extra protection during bad weather.

Although many parents consider the footmuff as a necessity, it's important to ensure that your baby is prepared to wear it prior to purchasing it. Newborns need a hard mattress to support their back and the footmuff may be uncomfortable for the baby if it's too soft. A lot of footmuffs are designed to last from newborn to toddler age and some even have a double zip at the bottom so that you get more use out of it. This means that they are able to be used for a long period of time and are an excellent investment for parents.

Parent facing

Parents love the ability to maintain eye-contact with their child when using prams that face them. This visual connection helps build trust and security and can calm toddlers and infants that are anxious. It also lets parents respond quickly to children's needs, whether they require reassurance or need a snack.

While many parents choose to use a foldable pram for their newborns and babies, they may shift to a pushchair as their children grow older. The primary difference between the two is that a pushchair typically comes with a carry cot that newborns to sleep in and a frame to fix it to. A pram can be reclined and made parent facing or forward-facing and a pushchair is usually upright and does not have an option for carrying cots.

The range of prams and pushchairs at Very has been curated with your baby's comfort in mind. Some of our models have adjustable seats so you can recline the seat to allow your baby to take a nap, then raise it again to let them play in the world. Some of our favourite pushchairs also feature sun canopies to protect your little one from the elements.

When you are choosing a pushchair make sure it is user-friendly and that the brakes are functional. The chassis should also be equipped with two locking devices to prevent it from folding while in use. Furthermore, a proper safety harness is essential to protecting your child's seat and preventing them from falling out of the pushchair. In addition to this blankets for prams are frequently useful to keep your child warm and safe from the weather. These are available in a variety of colours and designs to suit your baby's pushchair.

Ergonomic support

The ergonomic support of a pram is an important feature that helps to reduce tension and back pain. It lets parents concentrate on their baby and not worry about aching muscles. This feature also makes it easier for parents to maneuver the pram in tight spaces or over kerbs. This feature is especially beneficial for taller parents who may struggle to reach the handles of smaller pushchairs.

The support is built into the handlebars, and can be adjusted to match the height of the parent. This makes it simple to use for different body types and to locate a position that is most comfortable for them. The ergonomic support helps parents maintain a more natural posture and avoid injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome or shoulder pain.

A pushchair or pram can be a lifesaver to new parents because it allows them to get out and about with their baby. It is essential to ensure that your child is getting the most out of the time he spends in the stroller or pram sets with plenty of tummy time and physical exercise. Every year, many children are injured in strollers or prams. Some require hospitalization after falling off these devices. Injuries can happen when prams tip over or when bags are tacked to the handles.

Some prams are convertible into twin pushchairs, making them a fantastic choice for families with babies. These pushchairs come from a variety of top brands and come with features such as reclining seats and raincovers. The inclusion of an ride-on board is useful for older toddlers who could get tired of walking.

Ride-on board

Prams and pushchairs are essential for parents who are new. These strollers are ideal for getting around, whether attending a baby group or simply taking a stroll in the park. They're also great for daily outings, allowing you to spend time with your child.

The age and the needs of your child will determine the most suitable foldable pram or pushchair for your child. A pram with a carrycot is ideal for infants and newborns. These allow them to lie flat, which is crucial for their lung and spinal development. You can also purchase an ride-onboard, which permits older kids to join in the fun.

Think about a pushchair that will expand with your child. These are ideal for twins and siblings of different ages. Some have a tandem configuration, making them easier to maneuver and be able to watch.

To prevent mildew and mould, prams and strollers need to be cleaned regularly. Most of the components can be cleaned by vacuuming them or wiping them down with warm soapy water and a soft towel. If you're concerned about the fabric, a cleaning spray could be helpful.

Check the tyres of a pushchair, especially if you're using it on rough terrain. The best tyres are comprised of a mixture of EVA outer and PU inner, which mimic the feel of air-tyres, but are more durable. You can also include an oarguard and a hand muff that will keep your baby dry and comfortable. You can also utilize the stroller organizer to organize all of your baby's necessities. It is important to know how the pushchair folds to ensure that it will fit into your car boot or make the most space as possible at home.
