Safety features
Many cheap pram companies tend to advertise too heavily on aspects which seem important but are not. For a mother, the safety of her baby is paramount and any feature which compromises protection should be avoided.

Stability and locking parts

An unstable frame in babies prams will cause internal vibrations, resulting in an uncomfortable ride for your little angel.

In addition, any prams in the UK or any other model, should have parts which quickly lock into place. If not, they can tend to fold in or even collapse.

Seat belts

Typically, most affordable variants from either Musty prams or Jane pushchairs come with a three-way or five-way system with shoulder straps. However, see that they do not stifle your baby’s movements.

Seats, orientation and brakes

Reclining seats are a necessity in baby pushchairs, especially if your little one is three-months old or less.

A rear-facing configuration, found in most Marmet prams or Phil and Ted models, are good for both mother and baby.

While you keep an eye on your bundle of joy at all times, your baby is able to see you. This will have a calming effect. Finally, check the brakes especially in buggies to ensure that they lock for instant deceleration.
Other important factors
Once the safety aspect is out of the way, it really depends on what pushchair model you want to purchase. Nevertheless, presented below are just a few of the areas which should influence your preference for a particular model.

Need and lifestyle

Practically, any kind of pushchair, pram or baby travel system is built to suit specific needs more than others. For example, prams with twin seating by design may be space hogging. However, you will need them if you are the mother of twins. Similarly, consider where you intend to use the prams the most before buying them.

Accessories versus cost

There is a direct relationship between the two,. Therefore, it makes sense to look at essential add-ons. Nevertheless, changing units are most helpful, as they have organised storage for keeping different baby essentials in them.
Buying online
Purchasing prams online has become quite easy nowadays. Websites for Stoke furniture or Jane prams and pushchairs give you a range of choices at affordable prices. However, it is always best to test such equipments in a store before you buy online.
