Pram tyres: air tyres, air chamber tyres or solid rubber tyres?
Which wheels are best for your pram?
You are looking for the perfect pram, but now you see that there are different types of pram tyres. Air tyres, air chamber tyres, and solid rubber tyres – What are the differences between the various types of pram tyres? and which tyres suit your needs best?
Which is better, pneumatic tyres or solid rubber tyres?
The right tyres are essential for the everyday usability of your Pushchairs Very important. There is a big difference between pneumatic tyres and solid rubber tyres. Pneumatic tyres have better suspension. They are particularly suitable for uneven ground - better, than hard rubber tyres.
With pneumatic tyres, it is important to pay attention to the tyre pressure: This must not be too high, so that the tyres can still provide enough cushioning and your little baby can sleep comfortably. In general, if your pram has air-filled tyres, you should maintain them from time to time: for example, they can lose air if you drive over a sharp object. However, you can simply pump them up again.
Solid rubber tyres, on the other hand, are very robust and particularly well suited for urban environments.. However, the solid rubber tyres hardly yields on uneven ground and springs therefore not as good as pneumatic tyres.
Which is better, pneumatic tyres or air chamber tyres?
In contrast to pneumatic tyres, air chamber tyres have No air tube, but small chambers in the rubber ,which are filled with air bubbles. In other words: the tyres are Absolutely puncture-proof and maintenance-free. If your pram has air chamber tyres, every bump is perfectly absorbed and you’ll have no trouble at all mastering walks through woods and fields.
Which tyres do I need for which environment?
Do you live in the city centre and mainly get around there? Or do you live in the countryside and love long walks in the woods? This is definitely something you should bear in mind when choosing the right tyres.

What is the right tyre size for my pram?
Also the Tyre size plays an important role when choosing the right companion for happiness. Whether your pram should have 10-inch wheels or 12-inch wheels depends largely, just like the choice between air-filled and solid rubber tyres, on your personal circumstances and preferences. Generally speaking: the larger the wheel, the more easily you can overcome obstacles. The smaller the wheel, the more manoeuvrable your pram will be.
If your pushchair has 10-inch wheels, it is particularly well suited for the city, parks, or public transport: in other words, wherever you need to be agile on the go. If your pushchair has 12-inch wheels, it is better suited for walks in the woods and fields – you can easily get around with them over snow, sticks, and roots as well.

You should also Clean your tyres regularly so that dirt does not become ingrained. .The ... is particularly well suited for this. mein Junior Careset on.
