Choosing the best equipment for your baby is an important part of protecting them from potential dangers. When looking at different prams for your baby there are a number of considerations that will make your baby safer and meet your individual needs.
Wheels are an important part of prams because some of them are not very well behaved and can be very difficult to maneuver. Bigger, chunkier wheels tend to be the most cooperative to manage and are also able to be used on grass and dirt as well as concrete.
Three wheeled prams have become very popular among mothers, especially when mum wants to exercise with the pram to bounce back into pre-baby shape. They can be however, less stable than four wheeled prams. If you are planning on purchasing a three wheeler you should ensure its stability.
Many prams can be converted for the development of the baby and will take them through from newborn to pre-school age. A convertible pram should have a rear facing option for an infant so they can see the person pushing the pram and be fully reclinable. As your baby gets older you can change the pram to face forwards and tilt up so they can see what is going on around them.
The straps in prams are also important since they keep the baby secure. Three or five points straps are the best as they will keep baby secure and stop them from escaping when they are toddlers. Waist straps are not secure enough and can also present a choking hazard if the baby slips down in the pram.
Prams should also have an easy to use and strong brake: foot breaks are the best. Your pram should fold away easily and when you are putting it up the parts should click strongly and securely into place to stop them collapsing.
