Easy of Use

A pram must be easy to use so that you can keep you and your baby comfortable on your walks. It is crucial to select a stroller that can be folded easily and also get in and out of your car or onto public transport. It must also be comfortable for you and your baby.

A good pram must be able to completely recline into a lying-flat position for infants (this is essential because your baby's lungs may not be developed enough to handle an upright seat). If you plan to travel a lot, you should consider purchasing a travel set which includes a footmuff as well as a car seat. This will help you save money and time compared to buying each component separately.

It's also worth considering if you want a pram that's compatible with a capsule or car seat - this makes it easier to take your baby out during winter, as well as and from the airport. If you don't think you'll be using these additional components, consider picking a pram with a bassinet that detaches so it can be used from birth.

Also, think about the shopping basket's size. Can you manage to fit a few bags full of groceries inside it? A large and spacious basket is ideal. Make sure that your pram doesn't weigh too much to carry into the car boot or on public transport.
