Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps to entrap their legs or heads. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also check the harness buckles to make sure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the main cause of these injuries. Even the most robust prams could fall over if you hang bags onto the handles, or if a child who is wriggling gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

A common cause of injury involves falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby's harness is not fastened properly, it could cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain 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 a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from sun in both directions.

This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice can do the job you need it to.
