Mothercare shop, Mothercare the home of baby clothes and baby items from prams to cots, Mothercare has it all. The market on prams can be very broad. Nowadays there are Strollers, Pushchairs and Prams of hundreds styles, colors, sizes, models and brands. In the UK you get Jane Prams Pushchairs, Chicco, Bugaboo, Bebe Confort, Bertini, Mothercare, Hauck, Graco, Cosatto, Mamas & Papas, Silver Cross, Quinny, Maclaren, Britax and many more. It can become a headache if you don't make the right choice. Changing it or asking for a refund might not be as easy as it might sound once you used the pram a couple of times.
The advice here would be to make sure of your needs before buying anything.
Deciding which one to get
For many of the new mums out there it has to be one of the most difficult decisions to make.
You need to take into account too many factors before picking the right one. But what is the right one?
How do I know I am not buying into something I'll regret after a few weeks?
Simple! You can research, research, research and research more. The best thing to do first is to ask family and friends that already have children. They will sure know from their own experience. But before anything else you need to establish what will be yours and your baby's needs.
To start, analyze your lifestyle and long term plans:
Are you going to be driving around, using public transport or walking long distances?
Are you planning to have more children? Are you keeping the pram for your next child?
·Where will you be keeping the pram? Do you have a lot of space?
Are you having twins/triplets?
Do you live in a high building? Does it have a lift?
If you are a mother driving around all the time you will definitely need a pram that is quick and easy to fold and not too big. It can take a lot of time and cause a lot of stress if the pram is like a puzzle to fold or unfold. You may need to measure the size of any pram you wish to purchase to see if it fits in your car too. There are so many options in the market and that can get you confused.
If you are going to use public transport than you need to think of size and portability. Buses and trains can present problems. There is limited space to store your pram or pushchairs when on-board. Usually the 3 in 1 pushchairs and travel systems are heavy and difficult to carry around. It can be too hard work.
If you are the type that likes a long walk your best bet is the 3 wheelers. Larger wheels, and those that are inflatable, can give a smoother ride for your baby, and make it easier for you to push. Lightweight prams will make your life a lot easier too but the baby might not like it..
Another thing is wherever you are going to need a pram that lasts or if you are just going to get a new one case you have another child. If you want your pram or stroller to be suitable from the birth to toddlerhood of your child, check the maximum weight that it can carry.
If you haven't got much space to store your pram on a day to day basis it will cause trouble if you get a big one. An 'umbrella' stroller that folds up very compact is the ideal for not occupying much space, but they are not always suitable for a newborns.
