Manoevering the Strider Deluxe Steelcraft pram is a dream with its quick release front and rear wheels and baby will always have a smooth ride due to the rear frame and front wheel suspension.

Tandem prams differ from double prams in that one seat is located behind the other rather than side-by-side. Parents with twins or two children close in age can greatly benefit from a tandem pram. Even if you have a 3-year-old toddler and a 4-month-old baby, you can find a tandem pram to meet your needs.

Look for a tandem pram that is highly durable and will last you years. A good tandem pram should last you well and truly until your babies can walk for long distances unassisted. Be wary of the materials and fabrics used in a tandem pram, and look for prams with durable fabrics and hardwearing frames.

Because tandem prams are bulky enough to accommodate two babies, you should look for those that are foldable and light enough to be carried or kept in the closet, especially if you are low on space. A good tandem pram should also have sufficient storage space for you to keep all your baby supplies such as pram bags, toys, food, cup holders and so on.

Mid-range models of the umbrella-style pram generally have swivelling wheels, but the cheaper prams will not. If you are looking for a pram on a budget, it is worth investing in something a little bit more robust with an emphasis on easy maneuverability as this will pay off in the long run, especially if you plan on having more than one child.

Prams that are part of a travel system have a detachable seat that can be removed from the chassis and clicked into a car seat base, or become an infant carrycot. These travel system prams tend to have good quality wheels and suspension systems as they are built more robustly than cheaper prams.

Jogging prams are ideal for those who plan to take baby for plenty of walks and jogs, or those who do a lot of transport on foot. The pram wheels in jogger-style prams are the most durable on the market as they are generally made of strong materials such as alloy and steel hubs rather than rubber.

A good pram bag will have several compartments for keeping all your belongings sorted, such as space for your mobile phone, for nappies and baby wipes, for creams and lotions and so on.

If you have a small pram with little storage space, a pram bag can truly fix your pram problems. Whether you need a space to keep you baby supplies or just for your shopping, a pram bag on hand is essential.

When looking for a pram bag, try to find one that is very lightweight. This is because you do not want to weigh your pram down, and especially not cause it to topple over if the bag is too heavy.

A washable pram bag is imperative. The pram bag will more than likely encounter all kinds of baby dribble, goo and whatnot so choose one that is colour fast and attractive, but can sustain a few washes.

The most important thing to look for in a pram bag is that it is child safe! You can purchase a pram bag that is designed for use with children and prams, but if you choose an ordinary bag that fits the pram, ensure it is free of small objects such as beads and buttons to protect your baby from any accidents.

The Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe includes a pram, carrier and car base. For newborns, the whole carrier simply clicks into the buggy or car base, making it easier than ever to transfer the baby from pram to car and back to pram again. When the baby is older, the Graco pram is simply used on its own.

The flexibility of this Graco pram is one of its stronger points. It has a convenient one-hand fold action with four adjustable pram positions for maximum comport. There is a deluxe head support, adjustable calf support and extra soft comfy seat.

To ensure baby has a smooth ride, there is also a fully loaded spring suspension system with front swivelling and lockable wheels. The tyres are made of puncture proof rubber and make it easy to manoeuvre the pram through shopping centres and doorways.

Despite some flimsy plastic-like parts, the overall design of this Graco pram is superb. It folds up easily and neatly but is slightly on the heavy side due to generous padding. The carrying handle folds easily out of the way so you can lift your baby in and out with plenty of room for adjustment.

Pram mirrors: This mirror attaches to the baby pram and allows you to keep an eye on baby.

Rain covers: Pram rain covers are plastic sheaths that ensure the baby doesn’t get wet from the rain. Some cover the entire baby stroller, including the wheels.

Pram bags: One of the best pram accessories any parent can have is a pram bag to carry all their baby needs, especially if the pram doesn’t have a shopping basket or other storage area.

Insect netting: Keep the bugs off but the fresh air flowing through to baby with this essential pram accessory.

Holders and baskets: The most important pram accessories are those that are convenient. Attachable trays, drink holders and shopping baskets carry your personal items and baby supplies without weighing down the pram.

Toys: Attachable toys such as dangling “activity arches” and snap-on play panels are easily attached to prams and are useful pram accessories to keep baby happy while travelling. These toys use Velcro or clips to secure to the pram and are safe for the baby to play with.

Like other crucial pram accessories, a pram rain cover should come included with your purchase of a pram. When you are purchasing a pram, consider what extras are included, such as a sun hood, bag or basket, and of course a rain cover.

Occasionally you may wish to purchase a pram that does not include a pram rain cover. In this case, you should seek out a compatible pram rain cover to fit your pram. It is important to have a pram rain cover on hand at all times.

When shopping for a pram rain cover, consider the following:

• Baby comfort – does the pram rain cover have a ‘peep’ hole for baby to see out of, and ventilation holes in a practical place?

• Storage – where is the pram rain cover going to be kept when not in use? If you purchase the pram rain cover separately you may find that it does not have an obvious storage location. Attempt to find a pram rain cover that can be folded up compactly to be stored in your pram’s basket or shopping bag.

Like adults, babies sleep better on a good mattress. The Bugaboo pram designers have taken this into account when creating the Chameleon and have equipped it with a high quality mattress for maximum comfort. And to ensure the ride is smooth, this Bugaboo pram is equipped with highly effective suspension for long distances.

Another perk of the Bugaboo pram company’s Chameleon model is that it has been designed with practicality in mind. Rather than buy several baby travel products, this Bugaboo pram can be transformed to a handheld carry cot for a newborn and then to a wheel pram as the baby outgrows the carry cot. This helps you save money in the long run.

With convenience in mind, the Chameleon Bugaboo Pram also offers a machine washable fabric unlike other prams that can cause unnecessary work for you when they require a clean. The process of cleaning a Bugaboo pram is as simple as removing the fabric, throwing it in the washing machine, allowing it to dry and then refitting it onto the Bugaboo pram.

This Silver Cross pram weighs a whopping 37 kg, and rides upon a hand-sprung chassis, cushioned with leather suspension straps and hand-made spoked wheels. The ride of this iconic Silver Cross pram is unsurpassed by other seemingly “luxury” pram brands as its freely suspended body moves seamlessly along the ground.

The Silver Cross Pram ‘Balmoral’ model combines elegance and nobility with innovative engineering. It can be purchased in “onyx black”, “midnight navy” or “Snowdrop white” and has a posh fine grey pinstripe upholstery. It boasts a luxurious quilted mattress as well as a lever operated brake system.

The British Royals haven’t been the only ones to cotton on this symbol of excess, with celebrity parents in the UK and USA often sighted with this designer accessory of sorts. Famous mums who have used a Silver Cross pram include Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, Madonna, Catherine Zeta Jones, Liz Hurley and Sarah Jessica Parker.
