Wheels

The wheels are what move the pram and provide your child a smooth ride. There are three standard wheel types: foam, rubber, and EVA (a more rigid plastic type). Each has pros and cons, based on the purpose you intend to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and provide great grip on all surfaces. The only drawback is that they can be punctured if they are inflated too quickly using an auto tyre pump. This is not a common problem, and is usually caused by someone who has inflated the wheels too much. This wheel type is commonly used on all-terrain buggies and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are made of foam, so they are lighter than rubber tires. They do not have the same shock-absorbing ability and may feel more harsh on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are often seen on prams than strollers and are usually the cheapest cost option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a tougher plastic material that is light and has some of the characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used instead of rubber or PU for low maintenance and to reduce the weight of your pram.

The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your stroller is a must and will protect your child, you and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with a brake pedal on the rear chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or a button on the handlebars or by pressing down on your foot. The brakes should be simple to use and should lock immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for added stability and control.

Carrycot
