If you are a new parent you might wonder what pram is the right one for you. While none may accommodate all your desires or needs you should be able to find one that comes close to. You may, in fact, want to buy two prams. If you purchase a lightweight pram for quick errands and a more robust pram for more long term needs you will have the best of both worlds.

How old your child is will determine most of the needs of your pram. A baby will need a pram that provides neck support. This will be a requirement until he reaches six months old. You might, for this age child, want a pram that incorporates a carrycot or infant seat for the most versatility. When your child is gets older your choice in a pram is more flexible. At this age you can look at the pram that more fits with your lifestyle. If you like to jog you can find prams that are designed specifically for this need.

But most people use prams to go to the store and walk around town. So for this be sure that you choose a model that is easy to manevour over the type of terrain you travel. The design and style of wheels can help you push the tram even through the most difficult of terrains. The size of the pram you choose should be small enough to fit through the doorways of your flat and into the boot of your car.

You want to try out the different models of trams prior to buying. While you might find really great deals online it is a waste of money if, once it's delivered, you realize it will not work for you. Go to stores, ask other parents, and put your baby in floor models and push them around. Only then will you really know which pram you like and which ones you don't.

Larger, rubber wheels are usually the best and easier to push. They also will help to make the ride for your child smoother. The size and weight of the pram is also important. You can buy prams that weight as little as eight pounds or as much as thirty pounds. Take weight into consideration to your lifestyle. You don't want to have to lug a thirty pound pram into and out of cabs, buses, or tubes all day do you?

Do you go up and down stairs a lot or travel in a car? Will you need to store the pram in a closet? All these considerations will determine the size and if you need a foldable model. Other features to look for might include cup holders, reversible handles and seats, storage baskets, sun visors, adjustable handles, harnesses, reclining seats, adjustable leg rests, bumper bars and snack trays.
