Choosing the right stroller for you and your baby can be a daunting task, it will depend on your personal preference, your lifestyle including where you live, shop, walk, mode of transport (car or public),  how many children you have or plan to have, and your budget. How many strollers would I need? Can one stroller meet all my needs? For some families, one stroller might not cover all their needs, no matter how clever the model no model is perfect. You could consider the option of splitting your stroller budget rather than investing in just one. You will most likely need full size stroller for your everyday needs when your child is young and later a compact lightweight stroller for outings and where a full size stroller is not needed or you need the convenience of a quick compact fold.  Here are the key questions to consider before purchasing a stroller or Pram.

Is the stroller suitable for newborns?

• First, check the stroller age/weight suitability.
• Does the stroller have a  near flat recline suitable for newborns or does it come bassinet accessory? Is it travels system compatible? Does it have a reversible seat with parent facing & world facing positions? All important features for newborns

Are you planning to have more than one child?

• If you plan to have more than one child a full size stroller that can convert into a tandem stroller by purchasing a second seat could be a good option for you. These strollers tend to be heavier than a single seat option but provide the flexibility for a growing family. 

How long and where do you plan to use the stroller?

• Check and compare strollers that are best suit your lifestyle. Most strollers can be used until 4 years of age, check stroller age suitability as well as kg capacity as this may vary on models also look for seat height.
• Consider the terrain you will be strolling around at Parks, beach, gravel paths, footpaths.
   

Ease of use & manoeuvrability

• Stroller weight, is a large consideration of how to get it in and out of the car, can you take it on public transport?  it is easy to fold & unfold? How compact does it fold?  Can the seat be removed to reduce the weight you are lifting?
• Basket capacity, check for easy access as well as kg capacity, remember you will be taking all your baby essentials, your belonging and potentially your shopping here.
• Lockable front swivel wheels, can be locked when travelling on uneven surfaces for better manoeuvrer.
• Suspension, for a smooth & comfortable ride for your little one. Options are all-wheel suspension or front only or rear only.
• Tyres, look for ones that are suitable for all-terrain as they provide maximum traction and are maintenance free.
• Does it steer smoothly? Is it easy to maneuverer? How does it handle turns?
• Where will you store the stroller? In the garage or house? Will it fit in your car boot with room for shopping? Ensure to check open and folded dimensions before you buy.

Once you have done your research and narrowed down your choices, test drive it in person so you can get a feel of the ease of use.
