iCandy - Prams and Pushchairs

Prams are one of the most frequently used baby products. They are durable, and maintenance is easy. They also have a high chance for circularity if policy interventions ensure that secondhand prams are refurbished and distributed to parents who are expecting.

Prams are made for babies and newborns from 6 months to six months, they often come with a bassinet or carrycot and lay flat. Some prams are able to be converted into a car-seat and can also accommodate carseats, which is why they are known as travel systems.

Parasols are umbrellas that clip onto the frame of a pushchair. They provide shade for your child and help prevent heatstroke. They are typically made of SPF/UPF 50+ materials and also provide protection against rain that is light. If your running pushchair does not have one, you can get one. You can also use the shade snooze, which can be attached to your single prams or carrycots and block the sunlight from overhead.
