This makes it easier for parents to transfer their child from their car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram that can convert easily from a lie-flat 'pramette to a pushchair for toddlers that is compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It must also be free of gaps where their legs or heads could get stuck. The straps should be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. It is also important to examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Each year, many children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you hang your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling or squirming and falls in or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

Another reason for injury is falling off the pram or stroller. If a baby is not properly secured the pram, they may fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into place.

A few good prams also come with a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from sun in both directions. This is a useful feature since you will not be having to wake your child awake when you change their position in the pram or while you go to and from the shops. There are other features that are useful, like snacks for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

You should never leave a sleeping child in their pram unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this may cause them to fall off the pram or stroller and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A stroller or pram should not be used as an alternative to a cot. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart the majority of prams to fit them in the trunk of your car seat pram. This procedure must be mastered before you purchase one. Also, check how it is easy to put the various sections back together before putting to put them back together.

Durability

A pram must be able stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, so you must ensure your choice will perform the task you want it to. It is also important for your pram to be in an image or color that won't date quickly to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.
