When you have a baby, you need to choose a good pram as you will be using it a lot. There are many types of strollers and prams on the market, so to help you pick the best one for you we have listed some to look for when you go shopping:

1. You will be taking the pram in and out of your car a lot so see how easy it is to fold up the stroller ready to put it into trunk. Be sure to check that when folded it is not to big to fit into your type of car.

2. Check that the stroller or pram has a good safety harness that keeps your child safe and secure and that it is also comfortable.

3. When your baby is tired you will need to change the pram from a seat to a lying position, so make sure the baby stroller is easy to adjust and also check it will have room to fit a growing baby, so you don’t have to replace it when your baby becomes heavier.

4. Find out if the pram comes with a sun shade or canopy, and a wet weather cover to make sure your baby is protected from the weather.  Sometimes they are not included as they are extras which increase the overall price of the baby pram.

5. Think about your lifestyle, will you go jogging with your baby in the pram, is it small enough fit in between the tables when eating out at the café.  Make sure it is stable as well as manoeuvrable.

6. Check that the wheel base of the baby stroller is not too wide.  You will need to fit in the shop aisles and through tight check out spaces

7. Read articles written by consumer groups like Choice Magazine to make sure it complies with the current safety standards so your baby is as safe and comfortable as can be.
