Choosing a pram or buggy can be more confusing than buying a new car, with so many different styles and features to pick from where do you start? 

You could ask other mums you know for their advice but really choosing the right buggy is as personal as getting the right fit of jeans.

 Think about where you live as this will be a big factor when you make your choice. 

• If you live in a flat or your can’t get to your front door without going up lots of steps then a lightweight buggy/pram would make your life easier.
•  If you live in an area where you will be taking lots of walks on rough pathways or plan on jogging with your buggy than maybe you should look into a buggy or 3- wheeler designed especially for rough terrain.
• If you will be using your car a lot then size is important, it will have to fit into your boot with ease. You could even think about getting a travel system as you could then put your car seat straight onto the buggy without disturbing your sleeping baby.
• If you will be using public transport, choose something that you can easily put up and down with one hand.

Check out as many shops as you can and practice folding them up and down, see how heavy they are to lift and practice pushing them. There will be guidelines and information for most buggy’s and prams so take it all home, read it through and work out the pros and cons. Don’t rush your choice or be influenced by the latest trends. 

It can be easy to choose one just because you like the colour or the look of it but remember that if it doesn’t fit in with your lifestyle you could end up buying another buggy just for an easy life.
