Comfort

When you're out and about with a baby, you need to be sure they're comfortable. There are prams that will ensure your baby doesn't feel anything.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lay flat, which is important for babies who are just beginning to crawl.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It should also not have any gaps between their head and legs that are likely to get caught. The straps must be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised every year due to injuries from strollers or prams. The main reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you attach bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling can get in or out of the seat without the harness being secured.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram or stroller. If a baby's harness is not secured properly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always clicked into place.

A few good prams also come with a reversible canopy that will protect your baby from the sun in either direction. This feature is beneficial since you don't need to wake your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you go in stores and out. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and the handlebar locks in place when you are not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram without being within reach. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping, which can cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as an alternative to a crib. It should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is essential to disassemble the majority of prams to put them in the boot of your vehicle. This procedure must be mastered before you purchase one. Also, consider how it is simple to put the different sections back together before putting them into place.

Durability

A pram should be able to last through several years of wear and tear. You should ensure that your pram can handle muddy walks as well as a variety of car trips. You also want your pram to be in a print or colour that isn't prone to fading quickly so that you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.
