If you have a baby then a pushchair or pram is a must. It is going to be with you for a long time too, especially if you have more than one baby so it makes sense that you should think about all the different alternatives there are. Below I’ve listed some of things you need to consider that you might not have thought of…

Your Lifestyle: Depending on how you travel the most should be considered when buying a pushchair or pram… If you drive a lot you need to make sure the pram will fold down easily to fit into the car’s trunk. If you walk a lot, then ensure good suspension, maneuverability and stability. If you are heavily dependent on public transport then make sure you choose a lightweight model and are comfortable with how quickly and easily the pushchair can fold down.

Space Limitations: How big is it, folded and unfolded? Will it fit in the trunk or back seat of your car? Will it fit through a standard-size door? Can you take it on a subway or bus?

Weight: Think about how much lifting you’ll need to do with the pram. Do you regularly have to climb stairs? If you will be lifting the pram a lot you’ll obviously want to look at a lightweight model.

Your Height: A lot of people forget to make sure that the pushchair or pram will be comfortable for them, they only think about the baby. However, you should consider the height of everyone who will be pushing the pram – if the Dad is really tall you wouldn’t want him bending over as he pushes as he’ll get a bad back!

Wheel Type: Most people prefer the fully independent wheels but fixed position or oversized wheels can make the pushchair or pram more stable.

Portability: Many parents have two pushchair or prams for various needs. A full-size pushchair or pram is great for longer, bumpier rides, while the ultracompact umbrella fits everywhere from trunks to overhead bins on planes. If you buy only one pushchair or pram, keep portability at the top of your list.

Sanity-Saving Features: As with cars, there are many innovative and time-saving pushchair or pram features available. Some models offer the beloved one-hand-fold feature; others have all-terrain wheels; others include parent trays. Plan ahead and think about what you can and cannot live without.

Cost: If you want, you could spend hundreds on a pushchair or pram. The basic rule of thumb is to remember what is usually the case in most things – the more expensive the model, the better the quality. Decide what features you must have and which ones are not quite so necessary. Remember though, this pushchair or pram will be with you for many years so think of it as an investment into your childs comfort and safety.
