Tips for Buying a Pram: 6 Things to ConsiderÂ
1. WHAT’S YOUR BUDGET? One of the biggest considerations when it comes to buying a pram is the price. Our best prams range in price from $399 to $2,700 so you can find a pram that suits your budget.
2. WHAT ARE YOUR ACTIVITIES? Â Most new parents will often use their pram to run errands, walk around the block, or head into the city. If you plan on doing a lot of city strolls, you may want to consider something that is compact. If you plan on jogging, then a three-wheel stroller is a great option.
3. CONFIGURATION CHOICES:Â Another great thing about the best prams on our list is that many of them come with several configurations, so you can change things as you go and as your little one grows. Consider if you would like a capsule or a bassinet for your newborn. Or perhaps you’d like to go straight to a seat and skip this milestone? Will you be having more children down the road? If so, you may want to consider a pram that can convert to a double or even a triple pram.
4. WHERE TO STORE? If space is an issue, compactness is going to matter. Consider where you will be storing your pram when not in use as well as the size of your boot.
5. WHAT MATTERS MOST? What are the features that REALLY matter to you? Space? Looks? Comfort? Pushing power? Easy to put together? All of these are important things to consider when comparing prams.
6. BRAND POWER: Â It’s important to purchase a pram from a trusted company to ensure the quality and safety features are not only up to standards, but surpass them.
All of our picks for best prams of 2024 are designed by respected brands known for their commitment to quality, safety and comfort. We’ve included the best prams from brands such as Redsbaby, Joie, BabyBee and Edwards & Co, to name a few.
Let’s take a look at some of the prams that tick all the boxes and make our list of the best prams of 2024.
