iCandy – Prams and Pushchairs
Prams are among the most popular baby products. They are durable, and maintenance is simple. They also have a high chance for circularity if policy interventions ensure that second-hand prams are renovated and redistributed to new parents.
Prams are specifically designed for babies and newborns up to six months and usually include an infant bassinet or carrycot that can lie flat. Some prams are convertible and can fit a car seat too so they’re known as travel systems.
Parasol
A parasol is an umbrella that clips onto the frame of your pushchair to shade your baby and to prevent heat stroke. They are constructed of SPF/UPF50+ fabric and provide protection from light rain. If your stroller does not come with one, you can buy one. It is also possible to use shade snooze, which can be attached to single prams and carrycots to block out sunlight from overhead.
You can also put in a footmuff, which is a soft fleece blanket that has an insulated shower cover that protects your baby’s legs from the cold. Most brands sell footmuffs separately or in their pram bundles. It is recommended to select the one with an easy-release clamp. This makes it easy to attach and take off.
Find a model with four wheels if you plan to use your pushchair in rough terrain. They are easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces and have larger tyres that can take on sharp objects and rocks. They are slightly heavier than three-wheeled pushchairs, but they are relatively lightweight and easy to maneuver.
Regular maintenance is important for your pushchair to ensure it operates smoothly and keeps your child safe. Clean your pushchair using an infant wipe or cloth dipped in warm soapy water. It’s also a good idea to invest in an oil based on silicone for the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair, and re-tighten any loose screws. It’s also worth looking into the option of a pushchair service which is where a professional inspects your pushchair and give it a thorough deep clean to ensure that everything is operating just as it should.
Footmuff
Whether you’re shopping for your first pram or pushchair or looking to upgrade your existing one, the iCandy collection has something to suit all families. You’re bound to find something that suits your family from the wide range of styles and colours.
Footmuffs are a great option to keep your baby warm during the winter. They’re made from fleece, and they’re water-resistant. This makes them a perfect option for cold winter days. They’re also cozy and comfortable and are the perfect accessory for your baby. They’re also easy to use and can be fitted quickly. Just be sure to check that the footmuff is appropriate for your baby’s size and stroller compact correctly prior to using it. Otherwise, it may bunch up or move around. This could be a safety issue, as it may be a barrier to your baby’s face.
Footmuffs are a great accessory for strollers or prams especially if you reside in a colder climate. It helps keep your baby’s feet warm and cozy throughout the winter months and is easy to use. You can also adjust the temperature by closing or opening the zipper. Some brands have an hood for extra protection during bad weather.
It’s crucial to ensure that your baby is in good health prior to buying a footmuff. Footmuffs that are too soft can make it uncomfortable for newborns. They require a firm, supportive mattress to support their spine. A lot of footmuffs are designed for use from birth to toddler age and some even have a double zip arrangement at the bottom, so you get more wear out of it. This means they can be used for a long time and are an excellent investment for parents.
Parent facing
Parents love the ability to keep eye contact with their child while using a pram that is facing 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 needs, whether they need assurance or a snack.
While many parents prefer to use a pram for their newborns and babies, they may switch to a pushchair as their children get older. The main difference between the two is that a pushchair twin typically comes with a carry cot for newborns to sleep on and a frame to fix it to. A pram can recline, and can be made forward-facing or parent-facing. A pushchair, on the other hand, is usually upright with no carry cot.
The range of prams and pushchairs at Very was curated with your baby’s comfort in mind. Some of our models come with adjustable seats, so you can recline the seat to allow your baby to rest for a nap, and then lift it back up to watch them enjoy the world. Some of our favourite models also come with sun canopies that protect your child from the elements.
When selecting a pushchair, ensure that it is user-friendly and that the brakes are functional. It is also essential to ensure that the frame is equipped with two locking mechanisms to stop it from folding whilst in use. A safety harness is also vital to ensure your child’s safety in the seat and to prevent them from falling out. Additionally pram blankets are often useful in keeping your baby warm and protected from the weather. They are available in a range of designs and colours to suit your pushchair.
Ergonomic support
The ergonomic support provided by a pram can help reduce back tension and pain. It helps parents feel at ease and are able to focus on their baby without worrying about sore muscles. This feature helps parents to maneuver the pram in tight spaces or over kerbs. This feature is especially beneficial for taller parents who might struggle to reach the handles of smaller pushchairs.
The support can be adjusted to the height of the parents. It is easy to adjust to various body types, and find the most comfortable posture for each. Additionally, the ergonomic support provides an easier posture for parents and assists them avoid injuries like shoulder pain and carpal tunnel.
A pushchair or pram can be lifesaver for new parents since it allows them the freedom to explore the world with their child. It’s important that you ensure that your child is getting the most out of the time he spends in the stroller or pram with plenty of tummy time and physical activities. Many children are injured by prams or strollers each year. Some require hospitalization due to accidents resulting caused by these devices. When prams tip over or bags are tied to handles, injuries could occur.
Some prams convert into twin pushchairs, which makes them a fantastic choice for families with young babies. These types of prams can be found from a variety of top brands and come with features like reclined seats and rain covers. 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 handy strollers strollers make the process of getting around much easier no matter if you’re taking your child to a baby and toddler group or taking a leisurely stroll in the park. They’re also ideal for everyday outings, allowing you to spend quality time with your baby.
The best pram set or pushchair for your child depends on their age and the needs. A pushchair with a carrycot is the best choice for infants and newborns. They can lie flat on their backs, which is beneficial for their lungs and spinal development. You can also purchase a ride-onboard, which allows older children to join the fun.
Think about a pushchair that will grow with your child. They are available in multiple options and are perfect for twins or siblings of different ages. Some models have a tandem configuration, making them easier to maneuver and watch.
To avoid the growth of mould and mildew, prams and strollers need to be regularly cleaned. You can clean the majority of the components of your pushchair by vacuuming or wiping it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. If you’re worried about the fabric of your pushchair, a cleaner spray is a good choice.
Check the tyres of a pushchair, especially if you’re using it on rough terrain. The most durable tyres are a mixture of PU outer and EVA inside that are similar to air-tyres in terms of feel but are much more durable. You can also add a mudguard and a hand muff to keep your child dry and comfortable. You can also use the stroller organizer to store everything you need for your baby. You should also consider the way in which the stroller folds to ensure that it will fit in your car boot or take up as little space as possible at home.
