Get to Know Your Pram Options
Prams differ in how they suit newborns, how they handle different terrain and how small they fold. Some come with a bassinet included, some are lie-flat strollers from birth, and some can convert to a double pram later.

Use-Cases and Compatibility
The right pram depends on where you'll use it most and how your family might grow.
- For newborns and naps on the go
If you want your baby lying flat in a proper bassinet from day one, look at prams with a bassinet included, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V3 with Bassinet, iCandy Peach 7 or Joolz Geo3. The Britax Cosy Lux offers a lay-flat seat mode for babies up to 9kg instead of a separate bassinet.
- For parks, beaches and rougher paths
Bigger wheels and good suspension make a real difference on grass, gravel and uneven footpaths. The Silver Cross Reef 2 and the 3-wheel Thule Urban Glide 3 are built for all-terrain strolls. Browse our 3 wheel prams and 4 wheel prams to compare more.
- For travel, small cars and city living
Compact strollers fold small enough for a small boot or, in some cases, an aircraft overhead locker. The Cybex Coya and Britax Cabin Travel Stroller are designed for travel, and you'll find more in our travel prams range.
- For growing families
If a second baby might be on the way, a single-to-double pram saves buying again later. The iCandy Peach 7, Joolz Geo3 and Silver Cross Wave 3 can carry two children with the right seat or adaptors. For twins or siblings from day one, see our double prams.
Looking After Your Pram
A little regular care keeps your pram running smoothly and looking good for years. Always check the care instructions for your specific model.
Wipe the frame - Wipe the frame, wheels and handlebar with a damp cloth and mild soapy water, then dry them to prevent rust and marks.
Clean the fabrics - Many seat liners, bassinet liners and canopies zip off for spot cleaning or hand washing; check the label before washing anything.
Check the wheels - Remove hair, sand and grass from the wheels and axles, and check air-filled tyres for pressure if your pram has them.
Inspect the brakes and harness - Test the brake and check the harness buckles and straps regularly, and stop using the pram if any part is damaged.
Store it dry - Let the pram dry fully before folding it away, and keep it out of a hot car boot for long periods to protect the fabrics.
What to Check Before You Buy:
- Newborn suitability
Check that the pram has a bassinet or a seat that lies flat for newborns, and note its weight limit so you know when your baby will move to the seat.
- Folded size and weight
Measure your car boot and compare it with the folded dimensions, and think about whether you'll be lifting the pram in and out every day.
- Wheels and terrain
Choose larger wheels and suspension for rough paths, or smaller wheels and a lighter frame for shopping centres and public transport.
- Capsule compatibility
If you want a travel system, check which baby capsules fit your pram and whether adaptors are needed, or look at a pram and capsule bundle.
