Wheels

The variety of models and makes can be overwhelming if you are a novice to the world of pushchairs. It's not surprising that purchasing the right pushchair can be a confusing experience.

The wheels on your pushchair are one of the most important aspects to consider as they affect how your buggy pushchair performs. For instance larger wheels are better in handling bumpy pavements and rough surfaces, while smaller wheels can be more suitable for urban areas.

Your lifestyle and preferred terrain can also influence what kind of tyres for your wheel you should go for. If you intend to utilize your pushchair while running then you'll require air-filled tires that absorb vibrations and ensure your child is comfortable. These are typical features on all-terrain strollers, such as the Phil & Ted's Sport, which comes with three air-filled tyres.

If you don't plan to run but want your baby to be comfortable on rough or uneven surfaces, then you may want to consider rubber or foam tyres that are more resilient than plastic ones and provide better shock absorption. They are typically used on all-terrain pushchairs and three-wheelers, but can also be found on lightweight strollers.

A set of wheels for a pushchair that is made to last should be strong and easy to maintain. A regular wash down using an hose or bucket of lukewarm or warm water should be sufficient to wash away most of the dirt and debris, although you can also use products like WD-40 that work as penetrating oils, helping to lubricate your wheels for smoother movement.

If you want to make your pushchair easier to handle, look out for a tilting handlebar that can be adjusted lower or higher depending on the height of different users. This is a fantastic feature to have if plan on sharing the pushchair with a friend or child's grandparent(s) because it will make it more comfortable for them to drive.

Suspension

The suspension of the pushchair is designed to cushion the bumps on your journey. This feature is particularly important for those with disabilities, as it reduces the amount of energy needed to sit in the wheelchair and offers the best travel pushchair posture support.

The type of suspension that is used on strollers can differ from model to model, so it's important to take into account your preferences and the terrain you'll be traversing when deciding on the type that is right for you. Suspension that is strong is ideal for those who reside in rural areas and are taking their stroller on long walks, but may not be required for those who live in urban areas where smooth pavements are common.

Larger wheels may provide better suspension than smaller ones, as they are more likely to absorb shocks. Also, some pushchairs are fitted with a combination of different types of tyres - pneumatic, foam-filled or PU that can provide shock absorption without the danger of punctures.

Some models also include a swivel wheel at the front which can improve the maneuverability. You will also need to think about whether your pushchair is machine washable, based on the material used. It is essential to keep the fabric of your stroller clean as this will prevent any bacterial build-up that could cause dampness or even mould.

You can easily clean your pushchair using a mild detergent or disinfectant. Be sure to scrub off any loose mildew or mould with a soft bristle brush. Do this outside to prevent spreading. If possible, let it to air dry in the sun. If your pushchair has been tucked away in a storage unit for a while then you can also use a gentle sterilising fluid to prevent the build up of mould and damp.

Controls

It will usually fold from the front to the rear (like the Clamshell) and could also have an auto-lock that will keep it shut. Some have a handlebar which can be adjusted for parents of different heights and age.

The majority of 'from-birth' pushchairs pushchairs allow the seat to be positioned either facing the parent (parent facing) or away from them (world facing) to ensure that parents and their children can bond. Certain pushchairs come with additional features, like the ability to recline the seat back, which reduces the amount of time spent by your child sitting down. This can help to improve their posture.

The type of brake used is an additional consideration for the person who uses a pushchair and can vary from model to model. The most common type of brake is a pedal for the foot that is located on the rear axle. It works by putting your foot on the pedal to stop the wheels. Some models have an active handbrake which you can control by moving your hand in the direction of movement. This is better for those who need a sensitive and reliable brake that they can use quickly and efficiently while moving around an area that is busy.

Certain models include an option to swivel the front wheel. This is a great feature in situations where you will traverse rough terrain. This is because the swivel lets you to maneuver better on uneven surfaces or when traveling on busy roads. The highest quality pushchair tyres will be made of a rubber material such as PU or EVA and will provide the ride quality of air tyres, but without the danger of punctures.
