Shopping for your baby involves focusing on essentials that ensure comfort, safety, and practicality. This is undoubtedly a really exciting and thrilling adventure for new parents. At the same time it can also be a little overwhelming as you want to have the best for your precious baby. Don’t worry! We are here to help you.
Once your little one arrives in the world you’ll be needing a comfortable transport means to take them out and about with you. Here at Babymore we have a diverse variety of comfortable, durable and high quality baby travel systems including prams, strollers, pushchairs and car seats.
If you are a new parent and are looking to buy a pram for your baby it is understandable to get easily confused as there are a million options out there. But the question is what things to consider when buying a pram? Don’t worry, we have made a basic guide for you. There are a few important points you need to keep in mind before going pram shopping for your baby:
You have to keep in mind which places you are going to take your baby more often. Is it around the town? In that case you’ll need a lightweight and easily foldable pram so you can carry it easily in public as well as private vehicles. Or do you go off-roading a lot? In that case you’ll need a sturdy pram with big wheels and good suspension so that it can easily move around in grass, gravel or sand. Ideally you should try the pram you are intending to buy on different surfaces and see how smooth the ride is.
Your child’s safety is your number one priority. While looking for a pram make sure it has a sturdy frame, good braking system and a secure safety belt or safety harness. So you can safely carry around your precious little one with you.
You surely would not want to compromise on your baby’s comfort. To give your baby a smooth and comfortable ride you should have a pram with soft padding. Make sure the seat is a ‘lie back seat’ so your baby can easily go from sitting upright to lying down position for taking naps.
Before going to buy a pram you should measure the dimensions of your boot so you can make sure you get one which can easily fit in your car.
It is a life saver if your pram can fit your carry cot as they are really handy to take your baby out while laying them flat especially when they are newborns. So try to look for a pram which can also accommodate your carry cot.
Having a pram that can fit your car seat as well makes your travel more convenient. If you are driving and your baby sleeps in the car seat you can reduce the chances of disturbing your little one’s nap by simply attaching the car seat to the pram instead of shifting them from car seat to pram seat.
If you are planning to have another baby you should try to buy a pram that can be converted into a double as it’ll save you the hassle of buying a new one for your next baby. All you would need is an adapter kit and additional seat to convert your existing single pram into a double pram.
While travelling with your baby you’ll have to carry the pram with you to places. An easily foldable pram is portable as well as travel friendly. So it’ll be much easier for you to handle the pram with an easy folding mechanism.
Usually prams are forward facing which helps your baby to enjoy all the sights and sounds around them. But it is good to have a pram that can be converted into a parent facing one as you’ll be able to give your child reassuring eye contact that can help them to relax. In this way you can also keep an eye on your baby while they are strolling around with you.
When you are going out with your baby you’ll have to take a few essential things with you like diapers, wipes, milk bottles, toys etc. So it is good to have a storage basket under the pram to keep all this stuff.
An adjustable handlebar of the pram is important as it can suit different heights. In this way parents can maintain a good and comfortable posture ensuring a more enjoyable outing with their little one.
A lightweight and compact pram can make your life much easier as you can comfortably carry it around with you.
Determine your budget and find a pram that offers the best features within that range. Remember that higher cost does not always guarantee better quality.
Washable Fabrics: Look for removable and washable seat covers and fabrics for easy cleaning of your pram.
Durable Materials: Opt for prams made from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand regular use.
