If you're out and about with a baby, you want to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure that your baby doesn't feel a thing.

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

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps that could trap their legs or head. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised each year because of pram or stroller-related injuries. The most common reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams can fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being properly secured.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby isn't properly secured the Pram For Newborn, they could fall out of the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. It is therefore important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the correct position.
