Safety

The pushchair, sometimes referred to as a stroller or buggy, is one of the most commonly used baby products. Safety is the primary consideration when selecting a pushchair. Make sure you choose the five-point safety harness. This system secures the child in the seat using five points: two across shoulders, two around hips and between legs and two in the middle.

A carrycot or infant car seat / pram & carrycot combination is essential for newborns because they require the capacity to lie flat, which safeguards their spinal development and opens their airways fully.

Comfort

Style

Budget

A new pram is likely to be among your baby's most expensive items so you must spend time researching and buying within your budget.

Another factor to consider is the wheels, which can differ between models. Some models come with wheels that can be locked, swivelled or fixed to aid in maneuvering the pushchair. Others have larger wheels that can be more stable over rough terrain or are fitted with PU tyres which are designed to resist puncture.

Also, you should consider the size of the handlebar and whether it is adjustable to fit your height.
