iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most commonly used baby products. They are durable, and maintenance is easy. They have a high potential for circularity, if policy interventions ensure secondhand prams get refurbished and distributed to parents.

prams for newborns can be used for infants and babies as young as 6 months old. They often come with a bassinet or carrycot, and can be laid flat. Some prams are able to be converted and also fit carseats, which is why they are known as compact travel stroller systems.

Parasol

A parasol is an umbrella that clips onto the frame of your pushchair to provide shade for your baby and to stop heat stroke. They are made of SPF/UPF50+ materials and offer protection from light rain. If your stroller does not come with one, you can get one. You can also use a snooze shade, which attaches to the seat of your single carrycot or pram and blocks the overhead light.

You can also add the footmuff. It's an ultra-soft blanket with a waterproof cover to protect your baby's legs from cold. A majority of manufacturers include a footmuff in their pram bundles, or offer them separately within their accessories range. It is a good idea to get a footmuff with an easy release clamp that is easy to attach and remove.

If you are planning to take your pushchair on rough terrain, then look for an all-wheel model. They are better at manoeuvring on uneven terrain, and also have larger tyres that can handle sharper objects and rocks. They are a bit heavier than three-wheeled pushchairs Prams but still quite light and easy to move.

It is essential to keep your pushchair in good condition to ensure it runs smoothly and your child is secure. Clean it with a cloth and warm soapy baby wipes or water. You should also consider investing in a silicone-based lubricant to grease the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair. Tighten any loose screws. Also, you should consider 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

If you're seeking to upgrade your current pushchair or pram or buy your first one, the iCandy collection includes something for all. With a wide range of colours and styles available, you're sure to find the perfect match for your family.

A footmuff is an excellent addition to any pram, or pushchair, particularly in colder climates. It will keep your baby's toes warm and cozy during the winter months and is simple to use.

The softness of the footmuff could cause discomfort for infants. They need a firm, supportive mattress to support their spine.

Parents are delighted to be able to keep eye contact with their child in prams that are oriented towards parents. This visual connection helps build confidence and security, and can calm fussy infants and toddlers. This allows parents to respond to their child's needs quickly, whether it is reassurance or a snack.

Many parents utilize strollers for their infants but as they get older, they could change to a pushchair. The main difference between the two is that a pram 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 facing the parent facing pram. A pushchair, on the other hand is typically upright and has no carry cot.

The range of prams and pushchairs have been carefully selected with your baby in mind. Some of our models have adjustable seats that allow you to recline the seat to allow your baby to rest for a nap, and then raise it again to let them play in the world. Some of our top models also come with sun canopy to shield your child from the elements.

When you are choosing a pushchair make sure it is user-friendly and that the brakes function properly. The chassis should also be equipped with two locking devices to prevent it from folding when in use. A safety harness is essential to ensure your child's safety in the seat and to prevent them from falling out. In addition to this pram blankets are often useful in keeping your baby warm and protected from the weather. They are available in different colours and patterns to complement your pram.

Ergonomic support

The ergonomic support provided by prams can help relieve back tension and pain. It ensures that parents are relaxed and able to concentrate on their child without worrying about sore muscles. This feature helps parents to maneuver the pram around tight spaces or over kerbs. It is particularly helpful for taller parents who have trouble reaching the handles on smaller pushchairs.

The support is incorporated 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 the most comfortable for the user. Additionally the ergonomic support allows an easier posture for parents and aids them to avoid injuries like carpal tunnel and shoulder pain.

A pushchair or pram pushchair can be a lifesaver for new parents, since it allows them to go out and about with their child. But, it's crucial to balance time in the stroller or pram with plenty of tummy time and physical exercise for the child. Many children are injured by prams and strollers every year and some even require hospital treatment for falls from these devices. When prams fall over or bags are tied to handles, injuries can happen.

Some prams can convert into a twin pushchair, making them a great option for families with two young babies. These kinds of prams are available from a range of top brands and come with features like reclined seats and rain covers. The inclusion of a ride-on board is also useful for older toddlers who might be exhausted from walking.

Ride-on board

New parents need pushchairs and prams. These strollers make getting around easy no matter if you're taking your child to a toddler and baby group or going for an easy stroll in the park. They're also perfect for everyday outings and allow you to spend quality time with your little one.

The age and the needs of your child will determine the best pram or pushchair for your child. A pushchair with a carrycot is the best choice for infants and newborns. These allow them to lay flat, which is essential for their spinal and lung development. You can also purchase a ride-onboard, which lets older children participate in the fun.

If you're looking for a pram that can expand with your child think about a convertible pushchair. These offer multiple configurations and are great for twins or siblings of various ages. Some have a tandem configuration which makes them more maneuverable and easier to be able to watch.

The pram and strollers require regular cleaning to avoid mildew dust, mould and dirt build-up. You can clean the majority of the components of your pushchair by vacuuming or wiping with warm soapy water and an absorbent cloth. If you're worried about the fabric, a cleaning spray could be helpful.

If you're using a pushchair in rough terrain, check the tyres for puncture resistance. The best tyres are made from a blend of PU outer and EVA inner, which replicate the feel of air-tyres but are more durable. You can also add an oarguard and a hand muff that will keep your baby dry and comfortable. You can also use a stroller organizer to store your baby's essentials. You should also check how the stroller folds to ensure that it will fit into your car boot or use as little space as possible at home.
