What Makes Good Prams?

Comfort

Safety

A pram should have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to trap their heads or legs. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. You should also examine the buckles on your harness to make sure that they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are admitted to hospitals every year due to injuries from strollers or prams. The main reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you hang your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling and gets in or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A common cause of injury involves falling from a pram bags, or stroller. If a baby's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into place.

Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from sun in any direction.

There are other features that are useful, for example snacks for your toddler or child and drink holders. There is also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

You should never let a child sleep in their pram unless you are within sight of them at all times.

A pram or a stroller should not be used as a substitute for the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you to dismantle them to put them in the boot of your car so it is an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with the process before you buy one. Also, check how it is easy to put the different sections back together and click to put them back together.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to endure many years of wear and wear and tear. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and many car journeys, so you must ensure your choice will perform the task you want it to. You also want your pram to be in a print or colour that won't date quickly so that you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

Style

Newborns must lay flat as much as they can in order to promote development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, which is why it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclinable, while others have a seat which reclines to a horizontal position.
