Choosing the right pushchair
You will be using a pram a lot, so it is important to choose one that suits you and your partner completely.
Safety is of course number one, your newborn baby must be able to sleep safely in the carrycot.
In addition, there must be enough ventilation, preferably in several places.
It is also important that the sun canopy offers enough protection against the sun and that there are no frills on the inside of the crib.
A pram goes everywhere, so it should be easy to fold and unfold. A car that is lightweight is therefore not an unnecessary luxury.
It is also useful to check whether the car you have in mind fits in your trunk.
What will you mainly use the pram for?
It is then important to consider how you will use the car.
Do you live in a village and will you often go for a walk in the park or will you mainly be in the city with your child? The wheels are an important point here.
If you plan to use the pram as a shopping cart every now and then, that is also something to take into account.
Are you a fanatic athlete? A running car is the trend! It has wheels that are larger than those of a normal stroller.
Do you want a pram or buggy that is easy to fold, because you often use the car or travel a lot?
Is your house not too big? You may want a car that is easy to store.
Take all these points into account before making the choice!
Second-hand or new?
When buying a second hand pushchair, keep in mind that you will probably no longer be able to resell the pushchair. In addition, you have no guarantee.
Even if you choose a relatively new stroller, not the latest model but recently, this second-hand purchase will still be quite pricey.
A new stroller is a considerable expense, but you can use the stroller for several children, you have a long warranty and you can still resell the stroller yourself.
Ease of driving
As you've probably already seen, prams are available in 3 or 4-wheel versions. The 3-wheel strollers are usually a bit more manoeuvrable and handy for the city.
Do you like to take walks in different areas besides the city? Then a 4-wheel pram is definitely a better choice. These are more stable on sand and gravel and forest paths.
These strollers have large wheels at the front. The cars are called All-Terrain or Multi-Terrain cars. Larger wheels run a bit easier on rough terrain than smaller wheels.
These strollers are also slightly larger and solidly built.
The tires are available in different versions: solid tires, pneumatic tires and foam tires. Which type of tires is right for you depends on where you want to use the pram.
Solid tires for the pram are often small and you often see these in compact city prams and buggies that you can use from 6 months.
When the front two tires of a pram are solid, the pram is very manoeuvrable and super easy to drive.
Ideal for a full shopping street or in the supermarket. The solid tires are a bit less comfortable than tires filled with air or foam, they are less damping.
Pneumatic tires are very comfortable for you and your little one. The pneumatic tires provide good cushioning, so that you do not suffer from an uneven surface.
Perfect for the beach or perhaps in the forest. However, the pneumatic tires also have a disadvantage: they can go flat.
Foam tires are tires that are filled with foam. The advantage of these tires is that they cannot go flat. In addition, they offer excellent damping.
You often see that people choose larger foam tires at the back for comfort, and smaller, solid tires at the front of the pram for maneuverability.
This way you have an agile and comfortable stroller.
Adjustable handlebar
The height of the push bar must certainly be observed. It must be suitable for your height and that of your partner to prevent back pain.
Many cars and buggies have an adjustable handlebar, which is by no means an unnecessary luxury.
How much should you spend on a pram?
There is no single type of pushchair that is suitable for everyone. The best stroller is the one with features that suit your child and lifestyle at a price that fits your budget.
You can spend less than 100 Euro or more than 1.000 Euro.
Is it worth buying an expensive pushchair?
Yes, it is definitely worth buying a more expensive pushchair. Strollers also reflect your style, of course.
More expensive strollers provide great comfort, last a long time and you can completely adapt to your personal preferences.
Here are a few more helpful buying tips from the Consumers Association:

Children's and combination wagons are already suitable for newborn babies, but you can only use buggies when your little one can sit independently.
Strollers only have a flat carrycot. Most prams of today are Combi-cars: prams and pushchairs in one.
You can place a carrycot and later a stroller seat on the chassis of a combi car.
If your baby can sit properly, you can only take him in a buggy.
A buggy is light, easy to carry and takes up little space, ideal for traveling. Most buggies are suitable for children up to about 4 years old.
When should I buy the pushchair?
Buy your pram and car seat during pregnancy, when you are around 32 weeks pregnant.
A pram for a newborn
If you plan to place a newborn in the pushchair, look for models with a (almost) flat back.
Or find a pram that you can easily attach a car seat to so you can move a sleeping baby without drama.
Does a pushchair have an “expiration date”?
It is highly unlikely that you will ever find an expiration date on a pram.
The parts used to build the car generally last a very long time. If the stroller is broken, get rid of it.
A car seat, on the other hand, does have an expiration date. In general, car seats are no longer up to date between 6 and 10 years from the date of manufacture.
The reasons are, for example, wear and tear and changing regulations.
Handy accessories for the pram
Finally, accessories are often offered when buying a pram. Check which accessories are actually important for you and your child.
Often accessories are included such as a footmuff, rain cover, diaper bag and car seat adapters with which you can also use the car seat on the frame of the pram.
How should you clean your pushchair?
Children can make a mess of the pram. By keeping the upholstery clean, the car will also last longer.
What should you pay attention to when cleaning the pram?
- First of all, check the washing label of the upholstery and the mattress. Can they be put in the washing machine? If not, wash everything by hand. If so, the maximum temperature is often 30 ° C, but always check this to be sure.
- When you wash by hand, then use hand washing liquid and let everything air dry.
- You should also clean the chassis, use a mild cleaning agent for this. Especially sand is best removed immediately to keep the car flexible. Every now and then, remove the wheels from the cart and rinse with water. Dry them before reassembling them to the car.
You can always have your pram cleaned 'professionally' if you don't want to do the dirty work yourself.
It is useful to give the manual of the pram. Always discuss carefully how everything is cleaned to prevent damage.
From what age do you stop using a pram?
There are no guidelines for this, but experts will say that when your child is about three years old, he should no longer be in the pushchair.
Have you found a nice pram but are you still looking for a car seat? Here you will find a comprehensive article on the best and safest car seats.
