About Baby Vaccines

Are you looking to buy the very best stroller or pram for your needs Looking for a good pram or stroller ideas? Just as how you would take the time to research the details before buying a new family car, the baby pram wheel quality requires the same level of commitment. Nearly every day, parents come into Bubs and Grubs confused and frustrated.

There are many things to consider before you settle on a pram for your baby.

Before purchasing a pram or stroller, read the list that Bubs n Grubs comprised of major points. 

Pram quality ultimately determines the lifetime of your stroller, so invest in a higher quality pram if you plan on using it for years to come.

A number of prams are made to allow them to be used from birth up to age four.

• If you are purchasing for a newborn, bear in mind that it whilst it doesn’t need to recline flat, it does needs to recline 130 degrees from the horizontal to be suitable.
Are you thinking that a busier and more independent toddler means going to a stroller that isn’t quite as cumbersome?

Why not plan ahead and think whether you intend to use the same pram for any other child that you may have in the future?

What would your dream pram cost?
Is the pram affordable for you without taking any loan? Or does a cheap imitation pretty much replace this model? Bubs N Grubs believe your should never have to mortgage your home to buy the pram you desire. With time and research, you can locate the right solution for your specific needs. Bubs N Grubs is available to answer more questions at anytime via online chat, telephone, email and their online help desk.

Do mum and dad both like the stroller?
Keep in mind that this pram needs to be easy for either one of you to operate. You need to take into account the total wieght of the pram and is it easy to lift with one hand?
Is the handle adjustable for different heights?
To avoid an inconvenient and frustrating meltdown on the part of parent or child, it is reccommended that you practice the folding feature before your first outing. With a screaming toddler on your hip, can it be easily and calmly reached when you are pregnant with your ice-cream melting in the car?

You should really ask yourself what things you plan on doing with the pram.
Are you exercising all the time? If you will be using the stroller while jogging, you should investigate brands that are specifically designed for this activity, in order to keep both you and baby secure and comfy.
Is the beach your regular visitng place? If so, you need to think about the effect of sand and salt water on the wheel bearings and overall look of the frame, steel componenets and other parts of your pram (especially if you want to sell it later).
Taking the child shopping with you? The wider wheel base of certain models offers more stability for the more active individuals, but the odd shape can present a problem when it comes to fitting through some turnstyles, or while cruising the crowded aisles of a store.

When folded, does the pram fit into your car, or will you need to buy a new car to accommodate it? As well as all the toys, diapers and other care products you must lug around!? Can the wheels be easily removed to accommodate fitting into tight spaces?
• Is the pram easy to manoeuvre in general? Don’t forget that the controlling your pram  will be different as your child’s weight increases with age as you’ll need a change in sizing and weight of the pram.
• Are the wheel locks sturdy and not easily disengaged?
• Does the basket under the pram allow you the space you need - quick trip to the supermarket, out all day at the zoo - and is the access to the basket easy - extra zippers and wide openings so that you don’t have to pull everything out to get to something at one end?
• When walking into the sun, does the handle reverse so that your babies’ delicate skin and eyes are protected? Or can you get a sun-protection cover to fit your pram?
As your child grows, a pram with an adjustable harness is important for their continued safety.
To restrict movement of the pram, make sure it has more at least one parking tool. You also need to keep in mind where the release mechanism is located and that your vhild can not reach it while they are inside the pram or stroller and nor can another child from outside the pram. The parking device activator must be colored RED and the framework surrounding it must be a contrasting color.
Make sure the teather strap on your pram or stroller is long enough to be practical to use. For further information on the legal length of the tether strap, research Australian Standards.
Is the hood going to be able to allow a large enough shaded area, and is there a window for you to view the child while you are pushing the stroller.
• Does the pram have a removable bumper? On some prams this is not just a safety feature, but is also a good spot to attach baby toys or a good spot for the baby to hold on to.
• Are you wanting a pram that you can attach a toddler seat or a skateboard to as the family grows? toddler seats are additional seats that attach to the pram to allow you to carry a toddler as well as a newborn, or two toddlers. A skateboard is a board on wheels that clips onto the back axle of the pram. An older child can stand on this, holding the back of the pram, whilst you push the whole ensemble from behind.

What extras are available either with your pram or to purchase separately?
Consider…

• Weather protection - sun and rain covers
• Net Insect protection cover
• Tyre pump (for pneumatic tyres)
You MUST make sure that the pram or stroller you buy complies with the Australian Standard AS/NZ S 2088 If this information is not included on the label, before buying, check with the manufacturer. This is the number one reason that prams and strollers should not be purchased overseas. You should only ever purchase from Australian Baby Stores such as Bubs n Grubs who only sell prams and strollers that meet the Australian Safety Standards.
