Safety

A pram should have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps to entrap their legs or head. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are not cracked and have signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized every year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the primary cause of these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a wriggling child gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

A common cause of injury involves falling from a pram or stroller. If a child is not securely secured in the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the proper position.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram if you are not within sight. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping and this could cause them to fall out of the stroller or pram. This can lead to strangulation and suffocation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as a substitute for the crib. It should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to place them in the trunk of your car. This procedure is something you should know before you buy one. Also, check how it is easy to put the various sections back together before putting them into place.

Durability
