Comfort

Your baby should be at ease when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your child does not feel anything.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide allow your baby to lie flat, which is important for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat increases oxygen saturation and assists in the development of their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

If you're looking for something more budget-friendly but still with the same design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice.

The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised each year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the primary reason for these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without the harness being properly secured.

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

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from the sun in both directions. This is a handy feature as you can avoid having to wake your child awake when you change their position in the pram or when you are going in and out of shops.

It is not advisable to leave a sleeping child in their stroller unless they are within sight of them at all times. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and this could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This could result in strangulation and suffocation.
