How to choose a pram that lasts

Three questions — car boot, footpaths, and a possible second child — that narrow the whole pram market down fast.

A pram is the piece of baby gear you'll touch more than any other. Start with three questions.

Where will it live?

Measure your car boot. A one-hand fold that stands on its own — like the Neo — makes daily life dramatically easier.

Who's riding?

A reversible seat lets a newborn face you and a toddler face the world. Look for a seat rated to 22kg so one pram lasts to preschool.

Is there a second child coming?

If maybe, choose a chassis that converts to a double. It's far cheaper than buying twice.
