It can be a very hard task, choosing a pram for your newborn. There are so many options to choose from in baby prams, it takes careful consideration. Mother and baby magazines often carry features comparing prams, and all their features and functions, which can be very useful.

You have to take into consideration whether you take public transport often. And if so are you able to put the pram up and down whilst holding the baby if no one else is with you. Will it be small enough to fit in the designated buggy area? If you drive, will the pram fold small enough to enable you to place it in the back with other items?

All of those points you will need to bear in mind when researching the vast options open to you.

Hanging bags on the handles or at the back of the pram will cause the pram to overbalance and could result in your baby being thrown to the floor. Ensure the pram has an even weight distribution and possibly a shopping bag underneath to help with the balance and weight issue.

If leaving the pram on a steep incline or indeed anywhere, if the brakes are not able to cope with the overall combined weight of chassis, baby and shopping, the pram will roll. A dual locking braking system is the best way to prevent accidents. And always ensure the brakes are on when stopping and leaving the pram.

Harnesses which anchor the baby in from points across both shoulders, meet over the waist, and are held together by a strap and clip coming from the seat between the babies legs are the safest. Remember to strap the baby into the pram as soon as you put them in as babies will slip or fall out when you go up or down steps, or upon ascent of a hill.

There is also a vast difference in the types of wheels on each pram. Large rubber wheels on three wheelers will handle any surface you push it across, even sand and gravel. Whereas smaller harder plastic type wheels are designed for strolling on pavements and do not get punctures, unlike the aforementioned rubber wheels. But with the smaller wheeled prams they are prone to getting stuck when on uneven surfaces.

Whilst large rubber wheeled prams make for the most comfortable ride they can be hard to store due to their size. But they can be surprisingly lighter than their umbrella folding counterparts. For small car owners, the large three wheelers will not be an option as they are unlikely to fit in. The smaller stroller type prams will collapse upon themselves and comfortably fit on the floor in the back of the car and in smaller boots. But these can weigh a lot if not carefully chosen.

Large all-terrain prams usually have the front wheel a swivel wheel which makes cornering and abrupt turns more gentle for the baby. Yet swivel wheels on prams with small hard wheels have a tendency over time to not steer straight and makes pushing the pram a constant battle.
