How to choose the right pram for your needs

Age/stage & adaptability

Your baby’s age makes a big difference. Newborns need full recline or a bassinet, while older babies enjoy upright seating. Some prams are also expandable, letting you add a second seat later.

Consider:

• Whether you need a bassinet
• Parent-facing vs world-facing
• Weight/height limits
• Future-proofing for siblings

Safety & comfort features

Look for:

• A strong 5-point harness
• Good suspension and wheel quality
• Reliable brakes
• Breathable, soft fabrics

• A sturdy, well-balanced frame

Your pram should feel smooth to push and comfortable for your baby to nap or explore in.
