Safety

A pram should have a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to entrap their legs or heads. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Also, you should inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year because of injuries caused by strollers or prams. The primary cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the strongest prams can topple if you hook bags to the handles or if a child is wriggling and gets into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby isn't securely fastened in the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always locked in place.

A few good prams also come with a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from sun in any direction. This feature is helpful since you don't need to wake up your baby when you change their position in the stroller, or when you enter stores and out. Other handy features include a snack tray and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat, and the handlebar locks in place when you're not using it.

You should never let a child sleep in their pram unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep, which can cause them to roll off the pram or stroller and cause strangulation or suffocation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to the crib. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you to take them apart in order to put them in the boot of your car so it's an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with this process before you buy one. Also, check how it is simple to put the different parts back together and click to put them back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to last through many years of wear and wear and tear. You need to ensure that your pram can handle slippery walks as well as a variety of car trips. You should ensure that your pram is a colour or print that won't fade easily to avoid looking like you've lost fashion.
