How To Choose The Best Pushchairs And Car Seats A pushchair can be a lifesaver for parents who are busy. There are many different types of pushchairs to pick from, including buggies, prams and pushchairs and travel systems. Travel systems are an excellent choice for parents of newborns. They allow parents to move their baby from the car to the pushchair without disturbing him. Look for models that have compatible car seat adaptors to ensure smooth transition. Hood that can be removed Our test-drivers have rated this as the top stroller and car seat combo. This lightweight and compact system is easy to move and store. The smart shade and adjustable support for the head help to ensure the safety of your baby on the move. It can also be used to support infants who face the rear and weigh up to 35 lbs. It features four recline positions. It also has a quiet canopy design to ensure that the baby is not disturbed in the vehicle. The seat is safe to use in any vehicle, and has an indicator built-in for easy installation. The Doona Combo earned an overall score of 91 points out 100. The highest scores were awarded for comfort and ease of use. The car seat and base are simple to attach and remove, and the latch base is equipped with green lights when it's correctly aligned. The stroller has two cup holders and an ample basket for gear. The handlebar folds flat and is easy to move and offers a variety of riding options for parents. The 7AM Enfant Coon (shop family owned/shop Amazon) can keep your child warm in the car seat if they are wearing a puffy coat. This “shower cap” style cover can help keep snow and wind from blowing across your child's face and hands in the car. The Cocoon is 100% safe for your car seat and can be used with thin coats, as long as they do not have too much puff. The Cocoon is not recommended for taxi/Uber trips, however, as it blocks the belt path of the car seat. Patagonia Hi Loft Down Hoody is a similar option for infants and children (shop family owned or shop Amazon). This insulated jacket has a hood and is made of recycled 600-fill-power down. It's extremely warm in cold weather. It's safe to use in a car seat if it's properly sized, however you'll need to compress the puff prior to tightening the harness straps. Another option is the KidCozy II, which is a fleece blanket with comfy neck holes and holes for the hands. It is suitable for infants up to 4 years of age and can be used on infant car seats (facing inward or outward), strollers and baby carriers. Removal of mildew and mould Mold is a fungus which grows on organic matter, usually in damp and dark conditions. Mold can give off an unpleasant musty odor and be difficult to remove. If the mould isn't eliminated, it will continue to grow and spread. It is important to clean the area regularly. The first step is to remove any loose debris and dirt from the fabric surface. This can be done by hand or using an air-tight vacuum cleaner with an adjustable nozzle attachment. This is a good time to clean pockets, compartments and other small spaces that are difficult to reach. The next step is to clean the entire surface of the pushchair using an unclean cloth or using a scrubbing brush. This should be done outside, in a well ventilated area, and with a mask on to avoid breathing in mould or spores. Once the surface of the fabric has been cleaned then it can be sprayed with either a mildew remover or a diluted white vinegar solution. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and will not harm the fabric or other components of your pushchair. If you cannot remove the mold, it might be necessary for you to dry the area and scrub it off with the aid of a dehumidifier. Once the fabric is cleaned, it is best to let it dry completely before storing it. This can be done by putting the fabric in a sunny spot and then spraying it with an anti-fungal spray – Milton makes a great, kid-friendly one. If you're having trouble getting rid of stains that are difficult to remove or mould, try using MARBLELIFE® Mold and Mildew Stain Remover. It has been proven to be as much as 6 times more effective than store-bought brands that sit on shelves for months prior to you buying them. Just-in time production ensures the maximum effectiveness of this product at the time it is used. Cleaning A car seat or a pushchair can be a challenge to clean, particularly in the event that it has been used for outdoor excursions, and has accumulated food crumbs, mud and other debris. It is a good idea to remove dirt that has accumulated with crevice attachments or employ a brush to clean out any crevices and nooks. Spray on Clorox Free and Clean Multi-Surface spray cleaner or similar products, then use a soft cloth to apply the product to any fabric sections like the basket, seat or the hood. If you want to tackle any marks or stains that are causing you trouble, take a look at the care instructions to determine whether they can be machine washed. If you want to tackle any stains or marks, it's worth checking the care instructions to determine whether they can be machine washed. If you own an inflatable pushchair that has removable fabric parts, like seat supports or hoods, make sure to wash and dry them thoroughly. The chassis or frame may require a little more attention than the fabric components. If you've noticed mould spores forming on the plastic, you must take action as soon as possible to ensure that the spores do not be passed on to your child in their sleep. A solution of vinegar and water is ideal for this as it can break down the bacteria, and can be washed away. An old toothbrush is an excellent tool for getting into difficult to reach or delicate areas. If you're struggling with stains that seem stubborn, add a little bicarbonate soda to wash or make use of a baking soda solution. This will not only neutralize any smells, but also help lift stains that the first wash may miss. Stores A good pushchair should have plenty of interior and exterior storage space to hold all the essentials including drinks, snacks and toys. The main compartment should be large enough to accommodate a laptop or tablet as well as be an extra smaller side storage compartment for small items such as phones, keys or other baby supplies. Some pushchairs have hidden under seat storage which can be useful for keeping those items out of sight when baby is asleep. A travel system bundle is a great option for new parents as it allows you to purchase car seats and strollers together in one purchase. The most effective travel systems come with adaptors that allow the car seat and stroller to be linked to each other. This makes it easier to move a child who is sleeping from the vehicle into the pushchair. In Push Chairs And Prams , we found that the most reliable combinations have a straightforward connection process that almost installs itself. This is an enormous advantage when compared to combinations which require a second stage of strap attachment which can lead to mistakes. In actual fact, combinations using straps scored less in our ratings of ease of use. Some pushchairs have an air-tight footmuff that is ideal for winter. It is essential to ensure that the footmuff is compatible with a car seat. Also, ensure that it comes with a hood that will shield your child from the elements. There are many different accessories for your pushchair like a rain cover and a footmuff. Certain are essential, while others may be optional, depending on your needs. A rain cover is an essential accessory to shield your baby from the elements when you're out and about, while a footmuff helps to keep babies warm during the colder months. Other accessories for pushchairs that are a hit among new parents are baskets, a changing bag and cups holder. A well-designed pushchair can simplify life for you and your baby. Make sure you look through all the options.
