What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing the best pushchair, buggy or pram. Consider how much you can afford to spend, whether you'd prefer an e-bike that is compact or more spacious and how easy it will be to clean.

Safety

When you are out and about with your child in a stroller or pram it is important to adhere to safety guidelines to ensure your baby is safe and secure. Check the pushchair or stroller's carriage weight limits to avoid overloading, as this can result in damage or instability. Avoid putting blankets or pillows in the pram since they can pose danger for your baby, particularly when there is an accident. Don't allow older children to play on the pram or stroller as this could pose a danger.

It's also an excellent idea to search for a stroller with more padding, particularly in the area of the headrest, since this will help to keep your child safe from bumping into things whilst out and around.

Comfort

Soft padded seats and adjustable settings that permit your baby to lie flat on their back or raise their legs slightly to ease reflux, and a large sun canopy are all helpful. Look for suspension systems that allow for a smoother ride, as well as a brake system that is quick to stop quickly in a situation of emergency.
