iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most frequently used baby products. They are durable, and maintenance is simple. They also have the potential for circularity, provided that policies are in place to ensure that second-hand prams are repaired and distributed to new parents.

Prams are suitable for newborns or babies up to 6 months old. They often come with a bassinet or carrycot, and lie flat. Some prams can be converted into a car-seat and can also accommodate a car-seat, so they are called travel systems.

Parasol

A parasol is an umbrella that is attached to the frame of your pushchair to shade your baby and prevent heat stroke. They are made of SPF/UPF50+ materials and offer protection from light rain. If your pushchair doesn't come with one, you can purchase one. You can also make use of shade shades that attach to single prams or carrycots to block out overhead sun.

You can also purchase a footmuff. It's soft blanket that has a waterproof cover that protects your baby's legs from cold. Most manufacturers include a footmuff in their pram bundles, or offer them separately in their accessories range. It is a good idea to get a footmuff with a quick release clamp that is easy to attach and remove.

Choose a model that has four wheels if you plan to use your pushchair on rough terrain. They are better at maneuvering on uneven surfaces and also have larger tyres that can withstand sharper and harder objects. They are a bit heavier than pushchairs with three wheels, but they are still relatively light and easy to handle.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your pushchair to ensure that it runs smoothly and protects your child. You can clean your pushchair using an infant wipe or cloth that has been soaked in soapy water. It's also a good idea to purchase an oil based on silicone for the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair. You should also tighten any loose screws. It's also worth looking into a pushchair service, where a professional will inspect your pushchair and give it a thorough cleaning to ensure that everything is working exactly as it should.

Footmuff

Whether you're shopping for your first pram or pushchair or looking to upgrade your existing one, the iCandy range has something to suit all families. With a wide variety of designs and colors available, you'll be certain to find the perfect match for your family.

Footmuffs can keep your baby warm throughout winter. They're made from fleece and are water-resistant, making them a great option for cold weather. They're also cosy and comfortable, making them the ideal accessory for your baby. They're also easy to use and are able to be fitted quickly. Be sure to ensure that the size of the footmuff matches your baby's size and stroller correctly prior to using it. Otherwise, it might get tangled up or move around. This could be a safety issue, as it may cover your baby's face.

A footmuff is a great addition to any pram sale, or pushchair, particularly in colder climates. It will keep your baby's toes warm and cozy throughout the winter months and is simple to use. You can also alter the temperature by closing or opening the zipper. Some brands also have a hood that provides additional protection in the event of bad weather.

Although many parents consider a footmuff to be essential, it's important to ensure that your baby is prepared for it before you buy it. Newborns require a firm mattress to support their backs and the footmuff may be uncomfortable for them if it's too soft. Some types of footmuffs can be used from newborns to toddlers, and some even come with a double zipper on the bottom for more wear. This means that they will last for a long period of time and are an excellent investment for parents.

Parent facing

Parents love being able to keep their eyes on their child when they use a pram that faces them. This visual connection can help build confidence and security, and can calm toddlers and infants that are anxious. It also allows parents to respond quickly to their children's demands, whether it's an earful or an ice cream.

A lot of parents use a stroller for their newborns, but as they grow older, they might switch to an infant pushchair. A pram differs from a pushchair because it typically has a carry-cot for newborns and frames to attach it. A pram can be reclined and made parent facing or forward-facing however a pushchair twin is usually upright and doesn't have a carry cot option.

The range of pushchairs and prams at Very was curated with your baby's comfort in mind. Our selection of models have adjustable seats which allow you to recline your little one for a nap and then lift them up to watch the world go by. Some of our top pushchairs also have sun canopy to shield your child from the elements.

When selecting a stroller be sure that it is easy-to-use and that the brakes are working. It is also important to ensure that the frame is equipped with two locking mechanisms to prevent it from folding whilst in use. A safety harness is essential to ensure your child's safety in the seat and stop them from falling out. A pram blanket could be useful to keep your child warm and protect them from the weather. These are available in a variety of colours and designs to match your baby's pushchair.

Ergonomic support

The ergonomic support provided by prams can help ease back pain and tension. It ensures that parents are relaxed and able to concentrate on their baby without having to worry about aching muscles. This feature allows parents and caregivers to maneuver the pram through tight spaces or over kerbs. This feature is particularly useful for taller parents who may find it difficult to reach the handles of smaller pushchairs.

The support is built into the handlebars and is adjusted to match the height of the parent. This makes it simple to use for various body types and to find the most comfortable for the user. The ergonomic support also assists parents to maintain a more natural posture and avoid injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome or shoulder pain.

A pushchair or pram can be lifesaver for new parents as it allows parents the freedom to explore the world with their child. But, it's crucial to balance time in the pram or foldable stroller with plenty of time for tummy time and physical activity for the child. Many children are injured by prams or strollers each year, and some require hospitalization due to falls caused by these devices. Injuries can occur when prams tip over or when bags are tied onto the handles.

Some prams are convertible into twin pushchairs, making them a fantastic choice for families with infants. These prams come from several top brands, and include features like reclining seat units and rain covers. A ride-on board can be useful for older toddlers that are tired of walking.

Ride-on board

Prams and pushchairs are a must for parents who are new. These strollers are ideal to get around, whether you're going to a baby-friendly group or taking a leisurely walk in the park. These strollers are also great for day-to-day excursions and let you spend time with your child.

The age and needs of your child will determine the right pram or pushchair for your child. A pushchair with a carrycot is the best choice for infants and newborns. They can lie flat on their backs, which is good for their spine and lungs development. You can also buy a ride-on board that lets older children join in the fun.

Consider a pushchair that can grow with your child. They are great for twins and siblings of various ages. Some even have a tandem arrangement that makes them easier to maneuver and keep an eye on.

To keep out mould and mildew prams and strollers have to be regularly cleaned. You can clean most of the pushchair's components by vacuuming or wiping them with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. If you're worried about the fabric of your pushchair, a cleaning spray is a good option.

Examine the tyres of your pushchair if you plan to use it on rough terrain. The best tyres contain an outer layer of PU and inner EVA that are similar to air-tyres in feel but much more durable. You can also add hand muffs and mudguards to keep your child safe and dry. You can also utilize the stroller organizer to store everything you need for your baby. It is also important to check how the pushchair folds to ensure it fits in your car boot and takes up only a small amount of storage space at home.
