iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs
Prams are among the most popular baby products. They are durable and feature simple maintenance procedures. They also have high potential for circularity if policy interventions ensure that secondhand prams are refurbished and distributed to new parents.
Prams are designed for babies and newborns from 6 months to six months and usually include a carrycot or bassinet and lay flat. Some prams can be converted and can accommodate a car seat too so they're called
travel strollers systems.
Parasol
A parasol is an umbrella that is attached to the frame of your pushchair to provide shade for your baby and help prevent heat stroke. They are made of SPF/UPF50+ fabrics and offer protection from rain that is light. Many pushchairs have an integrated sun canopy or a pram parasol that can be removed If yours doesn't come with one, you can purchase an extra one. You can also opt for the snooze shade, which attaches to the seat of your single
folding pram or carrycot and blocks sunlight from overhead.
You can also put in the footmuff, which is an ultra-soft fleece blanket with a showerproof cover that protects your baby's legs from cold. A majority of 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 an easy release clamp that is simple to connect and release.
If you plan to use your pushchair on rough terrain, then consider a model with four wheels. They are easier to maneuver on uneven surfaces and come with larger tyres which can handle sharp objects and rocks. They are a bit heavier than three-wheeled pushchairs but still relatively lightweight and easy to maneuver.
It is crucial to regularly maintain your pushchair to ensure that it is operating smoothly and your child is secure. You can clean it with a cloth and warm soapy water or baby wipes. It's recommended to purchase an oil-based silicone lubricant for the wheel bearings and joints of your pushchair. You should also tighten any loose screws. It's also worth looking into an appointment with a pushchair technician, which is where a professional inspects your pushchair and give it a thorough deep clean to make sure that everything is functioning as it should be.
Footmuff
If you're looking to upgrade your existing pushchair or pram, or purchase your first one, the iCandy collection includes something for everyone. You're sure to find something that will suit your family's needs from the broad variety of styles and colors.
The footmuffs will keep your baby warm during the winter. They are made of fleece, and they're water-resistant. This makes them a great option for colder weather. They're also cozy and comfortable which makes them the perfect accessory for your baby. They're also easy to use, and are easy to put on. Be sure to ensure that the footmuff fits your baby's size and stroller correctly prior to using it. Otherwise, it may bunch up or move around. This could be an issue for safety, since it may be a barrier to your baby's face.
A footmuff can be an excellent addition to any pram or pushchair, particularly in colder climates. It will keep your baby's toes warm and cozy in the winter months and is easy to use. You can also adjust the temperature by simply opening or shutting the zipper. Some brands even come with a hood to provide extra protection in adverse weather.
It is essential to ensure that your baby is prepared before buying a footmuff. Footmuffs that are too soft can be uncomfortable for infants. They require an appropriate mattress that supports their spine. Some footmuffs are made to last from the time of birth to toddlerhood Some even come with a double zip arrangement at the bottom to ensure you get more use out of it. This means they are able to be used for a long time and are an excellent investment for parents.
Parent facing
Parents appreciate the ability to maintain eye contact with their child while they are in the pram that is a direct view of parents. This visual connection can help build confidence and security, and can calm toddlers and infants that are anxious. This enables parents to respond to their child's needs quickly, whether it is reassurance or a snack.
While many parents prefer to use a pram for newborns and babies, they may shift to a pushchair as their children get older. A pram is different from a pushchair in the sense that it usually includes a carry-cot for newborns and frames to attach it. A pram can recline, and can be made forward-facing or parents-facing. A pushchair on the other hand is typically upright and has no carry cot.
The range of prams and pushchairs has been carefully chosen with your baby's best interests in mind. Our selection of models includes adjustable seats, so you can recline your baby for a nap and then raise them up to watch the world go by. Some of our top models also have sun canopy that shield your child from the elements.
When you are choosing a stroller to purchase, ensure that it is easy-to-use and that the brakes function. The chassis should also be equipped with two locking mechanisms that stop it from
folding stroller when in use. A safety harness is also essential to keep your child secure in the seat and prevent them from falling out. A pram blanket could be useful to keep your child warm and shield them from the elements. These are available in a variety of colors and designs to fit your pram.
Ergonomic support
The ergonomic support of 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 sore muscles. This feature also helps parents to maneuver the pram in tight spaces or over kerbs. This feature is especially useful for taller parents who may have difficulty to reach the handles of shorter pushchairs.
The support can be adjusted according to the height of the parents. It is simple to adjust to various body types, and find the most comfortable position for each. The ergonomic support also helps parents to maintain a natural posture and avoid injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome or shoulder pain.
A pram or
pushchair with car seat can be a lifesaver to new parents, since it allows parents the freedom to go out and about with their child. It is important to balance any time spent in the stroller or pram with plenty of time for tummy time and physical activity for the child. Every year, a lot of children are injured while using prams or strollers. Some require hospital treatment after falling from these devices. When prams tip over or bags are hung on the handles, injuries can happen.
Some prams can be converted into a twin pushchair, making them a great option for families with two young babies. These prams come from a variety of top brands and come with features like reclining seats and raincovers. The inclusion of an ride-on board is helpful for older toddlers who could get tired of walking.
Ride-on board
Prams and pushchairs are essential for new parents. These
strollers make the process of getting around much easier, whether you're heading to a toddler and baby group or going for an easy stroll in the park. They're also great for daily outings that allow you to enjoy a relaxing time with your little one.
The age and needs of your child will determine the right pram or pushchair for your child. For infants and newborns using an
infant Carriages carrycot is best. They allow them to lie flat, which is essential for their lung and spinal development. You can also buy a ride-onboard that allows older children to join in the fun.
If you're in search of a pushchair that will expand with your child, consider a convertible pushchair. These are ideal for twins and siblings of different age groups. Some have a tandem configuration, making them more maneuverable and easier to observe.
Strollers and prams require regular cleaning to prevent mildew dust, mould and dirt build-up. You can clean the majority 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 cleaner spray is a great option.
If you're using a pushchair over rough terrain, make sure you check the tyres for puncture resistance. The best tyres have an outer layer of PU and inner EVA, which are like air-tyres with a similar feel but much more durable. You can also include an oarguard and a hand muff that will keep your child dry and comfortable. You can also make use of the stroller organizer to store everything your baby needs. It is also important to check the fold of the stroller to ensure it fits in the car boot and takes up only a small amount of storage space at home.
