Comfort

When you're out and around with a baby, you'll want to ensure they're secure. There are prams to make sure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

All prams featured in this guide let your baby lie flat. This is essential for newborns as it improves oxygenation and helps support their hips and spine. They also come with a seat that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is secure and should not allow any gaps that could trap their legs or head. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are not damaged and show signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you attach bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby isn't secured correctly it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always secured.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from the sun in either direction. This feature is helpful because you don't have to wake your baby every time you change 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 infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat, and a handlebar that locks in place when you are not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram if you are not in sight. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this may cause them to roll off the pram or stroller and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to put them in the boot of your vehicle. This process should be familiarised with before you purchase a pram. Also, consider how it is easy to put the different parts back together before putting them in place.

Durability

A pram set must be able endure several years of wear. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and numerous car journeys, so you must ensure your choice is able to perform the task you want it to. You also want your pram to come in the form of a color or print that doesn't get outdated so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The best prams are constructed of top-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable materials, sturdy tires, and a well-designed system of suspension. The most effective prams are small and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or the boot of your car.

All the prams in this list allow your baby to lie flat. This is crucial for newborns, because it aids in the development of their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels.
