iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are among the most frequently used baby products. They are durable and have simple maintenance procedures. They are a great candidate for circularity if policy interventions ensure secondhand prams get refurbished and re-distributed back to parents.

Prams can be used for newborns or infants up to 6 months old. They typically come with a bassinet, carrycot, and lie flat. Some prams can be converted and can fit car seats too, so they're called travel systems.

Parasol

A parasol is an umbrella that is attached to the frame of your pushchair to shade your baby and help prevent heat stroke. They are made of SPF/UPF50+ fabrics and provide protection from rain that is light. A majority of pushchairs have an integrated sun canopy 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 that attaches to the seat of your single carrycot or pram and blocks out overhead sunlight.

You can also purchase a footmuff. This is an ultra-soft blanket with waterproof cover that shields the legs of your baby from cold. A majority of brands sell them separately or include them in their pram bundles. It is recommended to buy a footmuff equipped with an easy release clamp that is simple to connect and release.

If you are planning to take your stroller on rough terrain, then opt for an all-wheel model. They are easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces, and they have larger tyres that can handle sharp rocks and sharp objects. They are slightly heavier than three-wheeled pushchairs, but they are quite light and easy to move.

It is essential to keep your pushchair in good condition to ensure that it is operating smoothly and that your child is secure. You can clean it using the help of a cloth, warm soapy baby wipes or water. You should also invest in a silicone-based lubricant to grease the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair.
