Safety

A pram should have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to trap their legs or heads. The straps must be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not cracked and have signs of wear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the strongest prams could tip over when you strap your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and falls into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a child's harness is not fastened properly, it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is crucial to make sure that the harness buckle is always clicked into place.

A few good prams also come with an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from the sun in both directions. This feature is useful because you don't have to wake up your baby when you change their position in the stroller or when you go in stores and out. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and the handlebar locks in place when you're not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram if you are not within reach. Babies are prone to wriggling while sleeping and this can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a cot and should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

Most prams require you to take them apart in order to put them in the car's boot therefore it's recommended to familiarize yourself with the process before purchasing one. Also, check how easy it is to get the different parts back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to endure a long time of wear. You need to ensure that your stroller can withstand slippery walks and also multiple car trips. You should ensure that your stroller is in the right color or design that isn't prone to fading so you don't look like you've fallen out of style.

Style

Newborns must lie flat as much as they can in order to promote development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs. Therefore, it's important that all prams support this. Some models permit an entirely flat position using a carrycot that is fully reclinable, while others feature a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for the latter, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her child who was 10 months old. She loved that she could raise or lower her baby at the touch of a button to keep him in view while maintaining the eye contact and closeness.
