A hood/parasol, for example, is a great accessory to shield your child from the sun and its harmful UV radiation. It also shields them from rain and wind. A parasol that is attached to the stroller will ensure that your baby doesn't overheat while walking.
A quality hood/parasol is made of SPF/UPF50+ fabrics that provide UV protection to your baby. Make sure the hood and fabric can be washed in the washing machine so that cleaning is quick and easy. Certain hoods are also water-resistant and can be cleaned simply by spraying them using a hose, or water and a bit of cleaning liquid. You can also use wet wipes.

A 2 in 1 pram and pushchair is an excellent option for parents who want to save money while giving their child the best experience. Choose a model that has been designed with your child in mind and with features that make travelling effortless. For example, a reclined chair that lets your child sleep or relax as you carry out your daily activities with adjustable sun hoods, and wipeable fabric will aid in preventing any accidents caused by food spills or potty-training.
Find a pushchair with a strong brake system, as well as two locking mechanisms to stop the chassis from accidentally folding when it is in use. This will give you peace of mind that your child is secure and sound throughout the day. Check that the pushchair is suitable for the maximum weight of your child and ensure that all straps, catches and buckles are secured.
If you're a city walker, choose a lightweight pram and pushchair that folds down compactly for easy storage in tight spaces such as on public transport or in your boot. If you prefer walking for long distances opt for a more bouncy style of pram such as the Silver Cross 3D or Mamas and Papas Pramette which gives your baby a comfy ride and can handle bumpier terrain. These are often bigger in size and therefore could be a bit more difficult to hoick on and off trains or buses and may require a car boot for storage, but will allow your baby to take in the scenery without feeling as if they're squashed.
From birth, you are an ideal candidate
The choice between a pushchair or a pram is among the most important decisions made by new parents. The other option is a stroller which can be transformed into a car or infant carrier. The one is a baby carrier that includes the carrycot. One of these options may be more suitable for you based on the size and the age of your child.
Many 2-in-1 prams are able to accommodate infants using the full-length bassinet, and later transform into a seat for a pushchair that has an adjustable hood and recline position. The Mumsnet Best Buy Nuna Mixx Next, for example, comes with a comfortable cushioned seat that has a comfortable liner as well as an adjustable hood to protect you from rain. It has a viewing screen so you can monitor your child without disturbing them while they sleep.
You can select a parent-facing and world-facing seat configuration for your newborn toddler, with the possibility of incorporating an isofix base or car seat (if you're not using an infant carrier that is compatible). Many of our 2-in-1 prams are available as travel systems that can be used from birth when you add a compatible car seat to the frame.
You can also buy a matching changing bag, which comes with bottles that are insulated and numerous pockets for your own personal items to keep everything you need neatly organised in a convenient place. Some pushchairs have a basket for shopping, while others come with a clever storage compartment at the back. If you are planning to spend your time in the sun, choose a 2-in-1 stroller with a parasol that extends and comes with SPF/UPF50+ safety.
