Comfort

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lay flat, which is essential for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and assists in the development of their spine and hips. They also have a seat that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit up.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps to entrap their legs or head. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also check the harness buckles to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a large number of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. Tipping over is the main cause of these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a wriggling child is able to get into or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

Another common cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If a baby's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. It is therefore essential to ensure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the proper position.

Some prams come with an adjustable shade that can be used to shield your baby in any direction from the sun. This is a great feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby up when you are changing their position in the pram, or when you go into and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a shopping basket under 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 and this could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A stroller travel or pram should not be used as a substitute for the crib. It is best prams to use it for short periods during the daytime.

This includes the need to endure the mud-filled walks and numerous car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice will perform the task you want it to. You also want your stroller to have the form of a color or print that isn't prone to fading quickly so that you don't end up looking like you've gone out of style.
