Each new year brings with it a whole new range of brands, makes and models of prams, pushchairs and strollers - all available in a plethora of colour options and designs - but is splurging on the latest pram worth it? It’s easy to assume that there’s very little difference between the latest models and the versions that came the season before, but you can expect many of the following updates from the latest prams on the market:
- Feature upgrades: Including easier, more compact folding and unfolding, improved storage, suspension and braking mechanisms (hand and foot).
- Material upgrades: Material upgrades make the pram more lightweight whilst using higher quality, more durable materials for the frame, wheels, and upholstery for maximum comfort.
- Improved colour and customisation options: More colours, finishes and limited edition options to choose from to really make your pram unique.
- Safety upgrades: Upgraded strap and harness types, for both safety and baby’s comfort.
- Optimised for comfort and bonding: For the parent, an improved range of handle and frame adjustments mean the pram sits at the perfect height at all times. Many makes and models also continue to improve the options for the positioning of your baby, providing reversible seats and handles to allow for both forward and rear-facing options.
- Extra comfort features: Extra padding and cushioning as well as a wider range of reclining seat positions means baby is even more comfortable when out and about. Adjustable footrests, parent and child trays, improved UV-protective shades and canopies and mosquito nets can be found on most modern strollers. Other extra options may include toy attachments for keeping your little one entertained and a dedicated space to store a changing bag while out and about.
- Safety testing: It’s also important to note that safety rules and regulations are constantly being updated and so the newest models on the market will have been stringently tested against the most up to date safety regulations.
