iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most commonly used baby products. They are durable and come with simple maintenance procedures. They also have high potential for circularity, if policies are in place to ensure that secondhand prams are refurbished and distributed to parents who are expecting.

Prams are designed for babies and infants between six and six months old, they often come with a carrycot or bassinet and lay flat. Some prams are able to be converted into a car-seat and can also accommodate a car seat, hence they are called compact travel pram systems.

Parasol

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

You can also purchase a footmuff. It's a soft blanket with waterproof cover that shields your baby's legs from cold. Most manufacturers include a footmuff in their pram bundles, or offer them separately within their accessories range. It is recommended to select the one with a quick-release clamp. This makes it easy to attach and remove.

Find 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 little more than three-wheeled pushchairs but still quite light and easy to maneuver.

It is essential to keep your pushchair in good condition to ensure it runs smoothly and that your child is safe. You can clean it using the help of a cloth, warm soapy water or baby wipes. It's recommended to invest in an oil based on silicone for the joints and wheel bearings of your pushchair, and tighten any loose screws.

Parent facing

Parents love the ability to keep eye contact with their child while they are in a parent-facing pram. This eye contact can build trust and confidence, as well as calm fussy toddlers and babies. It also lets parents respond quickly to children's needs, whether they need assurance or a snack.

Many parents prefer to use a pram for newborns and babies, they may switch to a pushchair as their children grow older. The primary difference between a pram with car seat and a pushchair is that a pushchair typically includes a carry cot for infants 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.
