Comfort

If you're out and about with a baby, you need to be sure they're comfortable. There are prams to make sure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is essential for newborns since it improves oxygenation and helps support their spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up.

If you're a first time parent we suggest that you look into a travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that are attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without disturbing them and is perfect for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical pram that can convert easily from a'pramette' that lies flat to a pushchair for toddlers, compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It should also have no gaps in which their heads or legs could get stuck. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. It is also important to inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year due to injuries from strollers or prams. The most common cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you hang your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling or squirming and falls in or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram or stroller. If a child is not properly secured the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always locked in place.

Some prams come with a reversible shade that can be used to protect your baby in both directions from the sun. This feature is useful because you won't have to wake your baby when you change their position in the stroller, or when you enter and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and a handlebar that locks in place when you are not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram without being in sight. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping and this could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the day.

Most prams require you to take them apart in order to put them in the car's boot so it is an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with the process before purchasing one. Consider how easy it would be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. You need to ensure that your pram can handle slippery walks as well as a variety of car trips. You want to make sure that your pram is a color or pattern that won't fade easily so you don't look like you've fallen out of style.

Style

Newborns must lay flat as often as they can in order to promote development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, which is why it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow an entirely flat position using a carrycot that can be fully reclinable, while others have a seat which can recline to a horizontal position.
