Best Pram Accessories to Make Your Life Easier

Parenthood is a joyous journey filled with unforgettable moments, but it can also be quite challenging, especially when you are on the go with a baby.

A pram (or stroller) is an essential piece of baby gear for most parents, depending on the age and size of your baby. However, it is the accessories that come with these excellent travel devices that make all the difference to your experience when on the go and truly make life easier.

These handy add-ons can simplify your daily routines, enhance your baby's comfort, and make your outings more enjoyable.

In this blog post, we'll explore some of the best pram and stroller accessories to consider for a smoother parenting experience.

Pram vs Stroller - Know the Difference

Before we delve into the best accessories to buy for your baby's travel device we must first discuss the differences between a pram and a stroller. Knowing these differences will help you know which accessories you will need, and in what order, depending on your baby's age and what device they are currently or will be in when they arrive into this world.

A pram is designed for newborns, offering a flat, enclosed space for them to lie down and face you. It's perfect for long walks and ensures your baby lies flat for optimal comfort, so they can breathe correctly, and it allows space and room for them to wriggle around when they go through their growth spurts.

Strollers, on the other hand, are more versatile and suitable for older infants who can sit up on their own. Strollers come with various seating positions, making them ideal for active outings. They are compact and foldable, perfect for accompanying you on your travels.

Understanding the difference between the two can help you choose the right option for your baby's age and lifestyle, ensuring their safety and comfort on the go.

The Best Pram Accessories

These carefully chosen add-ons are designed to enhance your baby's comfort and convenience while making your life as a parent a whole lot easier. Discover the must-have pram accessories that are sure to become your go-to additions in our guide below.

Rain Cover

The weather can be unpredictable, and getting caught in the rain with a baby is no one's idea of fun. A rain cover for your stroller or pram is a must-have accessory. It is essential, no matter what device they are in, to shield your child from rain, wind, and cold weather, ensuring they stay dry and comfortable.

Most rain covers are easy to attach and can be folded into a compact size for convenient storage when not in use.

Sun Shade

Just as important as protecting your baby from rain is shielding them from the harsh sun. A sun umbrella can keep your little one cool and shaded during sunny days and is a good idea to have one attached to your stroller. Many prams come with built-in sunshades, but investing further in a detachable sunshade is a wise choice for creating shade from the sun at any angle.

Cup Holder

As a parent, you often find yourself multitasking, and having a cup/bottle holder attached to your pram can be a game-changer. It's perfect for holding your morning coffee, a bottle of water, or a baby bottle. You can keep your hands free while still having your drink within easy reach.

Stroller Bag

Staying organised is essential when you're out and about with a baby. A stroller bag acts as extra storage and easily attaches to your stroller's handlebar. It provides space for essentials like nappies, wipes, snacks, and your wallet or phone.

With everything neatly organised and at your fingertips, you'll be prepared for any situation. There are many stroller bags on the market that you can choose from; depending on your needs, there is a perfect bag for everyone.

Look for a bag that's spacious and equipped with compartments for diapers, wipes, changing mats, and other essentials. Some changing bags even come with an integrated changing station, making diaper changes a breeze.

Stroller Fan

Hot summer days can be uncomfortable for your baby, especially when they're confined to a stroller. A stroller fan is a lifesaver in such situations. These portable fans can be clipped to the pram and provide a gentle breeze to keep your little one cool and content.

Soft Seat Cushion

An extra soft stroller cushion with a universal size makes for a great addition to your stroller or pram. It will make sure your child is comfortable while also adding a layer of warmth to your device in any weather.

Cushion Liner

A breathable cushion liner is a universal cushion with breathable material that helps to keep your baby at the optimum temperature while adding extra comfort. Not only this, but it also helps to keep the pram clean.

Bag Buggy Clips

Bag clips for your stroller or pram are there to help you carry shopping bags, toys, purses, or any extra bag without straining your shoulders. These hooks can be attached to the pram's handlebar and offer a convenient way to carry your belongings while on the go. A small but handy feature is that once you use them, you will not be without them.

Pram Footmuff

A pram footmuff is perfect for keeping your baby warm and cosy during chilly winter walks. These sleeping bag-style covers provide extra insulation and often feature a zip or button front for easy access. Look for one that's machine washable for convenience and to make your life easier.

Stroller Buggy Board

If you have an older child and a younger baby, a stroller buggy board is a real lifesaver. It attaches to the back of your pram and provides a platform for your older child to stand on while you push the pram. It acts as a practical solution for navigating busy streets or longer outings when little ones who are able to walk can also get tired easily. Plus, they will enjoy the fun ride on the back of your stroller or pram.

Hand Muff

A stroller hand muff is the ultimate companion for a snug and pleasant stroller ride, especially when the temperature drops. Do not suffer from cold hands when pushing a pram or stroller in colder weather; a hand muff for you is the answer. Experience pure warmth and contentment during your stroller adventures.

Check for Universal Accessories

It is important to remember that not all accessories will fit your stroller or pram exactly, depending on your make and model and the brand of the accessories.

Before you purchase, be sure to check out the accessories’ description to make sure it is universal or the exact product dimensions to ensure that it is the right fit for your stroller. If you need to clip something onto your stroller’s handlebars, for example.
