iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are one of the most commonly used baby products. They are durable, and maintenance is easy. They also have a high chance for circularity, provided that policies are in place to ensure that second-hand prams are renovated and redistributed to new parents.

Prams can be used by infants and babies as young as 6 months old. They usually come with a bassinet, carrycot, and can be laid flat. Some prams are able to be converted into a car-seat and can also accommodate carseats, which is why they are referred to as travel systems.

Parasol

Parasols are umbrellas that attach onto the frame of the foldable pushchair. They provide shade for your child and help prevent heatstroke. They are usually made from SPF/UPF 50+ fabrics and can also offer protection against rain that is light. If your pram does not have one, you can get one. You can also get a snooze shade that attaches to the seat of your single carrycot or pram double and blocks the overhead light.

You can also include a footmuff, which is an ultra-soft fleece blanket with a showerproof cover that protects your baby's legs from the cold. Most brands sell footmuffs separately or as part of their pram bundles. It is recommended to buy a footmuff equipped with an easy release clamp that is simple to attach and remove.

Look for a model with four wheels if you are planning to use your pushchair on rough terrain. They are easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces, and they have larger tyres that can handle sharp objects and rocks. They are a little heavier than pushchairs with three wheels, but still relatively light and easy to control.

Regular maintenance is crucial for your pushchair in order to ensure it runs smoothly and ensures that your child is safe. Clean your pushchair using an infant wipe or cloth that has been soaked in soapy water. It's also a good idea to invest in a silicone-based lubricant for the joints and wheel bearings of your pushchair, and re-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 cleaning to ensure that everything is operating as it should be.

Footmuff

If you're seeking to upgrade your current pram or pushchair, or purchase your first one you will find that the iCandy collection includes something for all. You're bound to find something that suits your family's needs with the wide selection of styles and colours.

Baby footmuffs can keep them warm during the winter. They're made of fleece and are water-resistant, which makes them a good choice for cold weather. They're also cozy and comfortable, making them the ideal accessory for your baby. They're also easy to use and they can be easily fitted. Be sure to check the dimensions of your baby and stroller prior to fitting the footmuff. It could get tangled up or move. This can pose a safety danger, as it could encase your baby's mouth.

A footmuff is a great accessory to any pram or pushchair, particularly in colder climates. It will keep your baby's feet warm and cozy throughout the winter, and it's simple to use. You can also alter the temperature by closing or opening the zipper. Certain brands come with a hood that provides additional protection during storms.

It's important that you ensure that your baby is in good health prior to purchasing an infant footmuff. Footmuffs that are too soft can be uncomfortable for babies. They need an appropriate mattress that supports their spine. Some of the footmuffs are suitable from the time of birth to toddlers, and even some have a double zipper at the bottom for more wear. They can be used for many years and are a good investment for parents.

Parents love the ability to keep eye contact with their child while using prams that face them. This visual connection can help create trust and security and also calm anxious babies and toddlers. This allows parents to respond to the needs of their child quickly, whether that's reassurance or a snack.

Many parents use strollers for their infants but as they get older, they could switch to the pushchair. A pram is different from a pushchair because it typically comes with an infant carry-cot and frames to fix it. 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.

The selection of prams and pushchairs have been carefully curated with your baby's needs in mind. Some of our models have adjustable seats that allow you to recline the seat to allow your baby to nap, then raise it back up to watch them play in the world. Some of our favorite pushchairs also feature sun canopies to protect your little one from the elements.

When you are choosing a pushchair ensure it is easy to operate and that the brakes function properly. It is also essential to ensure that the frame is secured with two locking mechanisms to prevent it from folding during use. A safety harness is also essential to keep your child secure in the seat and prevent them from falling out. In addition to this blankets for prams are often useful for keeping your child warm and safe from the elements. They are available in a range of colors and designs to match your pram.

Ergonomic support

The ergonomic support provided by prams is an important feature that can help reduce back pain and tension. It lets parents focus on their child and not worry about their muscles. This feature helps parents to maneuver the stroller in tight spaces or over kerbs. This feature is particularly useful for taller parents, who may have difficulty to grasp the handles of smaller pushchairs.

The support can be adjusted in accordance with the height of the parents. It is simple to adjust to different body types, and find the most comfortable posture for each. In addition the ergonomic support allows a more natural posture to parents and assists them avoid injuries like shoulder and carpal tunnel pain.

A pushchair or pram can be a lifesaver for new parents as they can get out and about with their child. But, it's crucial to balance any time spent in the stroller or pram with plenty of time with the baby and physical exercise for the child. Every year, a lot of children are injured in prams or strollers. Some require hospital treatment after falling off these devices. When prams fall over or bags are hung to handles, injuries can happen.

Some prams can be converted into twin pushchairs (E Shkaf blog entry), making them a great choice for families with young babies. These prams come from various top brands and include features such as reclining seats and raincovers. A ride-on board is beneficial for older toddlers who are tired of walking.

Ride-on board

New parents need pushchairs as well as prams. These strollers make the process of getting around much easier no matter if you're taking your child to a toddler and baby group or taking an enjoyable stroll in the park. They're also perfect for everyday outings and allow you to enjoy a relaxing time with your little one.

The age and the needs of your child will determine the most suitable pram or pushchair for your child. For infants and newborns that are not yet able to walk, a pushchair with an infant carrycot is best. They allow them to lay flat, which is important for their lung and spinal development. You can also buy a ride-onboard, which allows older children to participate in the fun.

If you're looking for a stroller that can grow with your child think about a convertible pushchair. They are great for twins and siblings of different age groups. Some come with a tandem arrangement which makes them easier to maneuver and observe.

The pram and strollers require regular cleaning to avoid mildew and mould, as well as dust build-up. You can clean the majority of the components of your pushchair by vacuuming or wiping them with warm soapy water and an absorbent cloth. If you are concerned about the fabric of your pushchair, a cleaning spray is a good option.

If you're using a pushchair over rough terrain, make sure you check the tyres for puncture resistance. The most durable tyres are a mix of PU outer and inner EVA, which are similar to air-tyres in terms of feel but are much more durable. You can also add hand muffs and mudguards to keep your child safe and dry. You can also use a stroller organizer to store all of your baby's essentials. It is also important to check the fold of the stroller newborn to ensure it fits into the car boot and takes up only a small amount of storage space at home.
