If you're an urban walker pick a light-weight pram and pushchair that folds up compactly for easy storage in tight spaces like on public transport or in your boot. If you prefer walking for long distances opt for a more bouncy style of pram such as the Silver Cross 3D or Mamas and Papas Pramette that offers your baby a comfy ride and can cope with bumpier terrain. They are usually larger in size so might be a bit more difficult to lift on and off trains or buses and may require a car boot to store them, but will allow your baby to take in the scenery without feeling like they're squashed.

From your birth, you're an ideal candidate

One of the most important choices new parents have to make is whether to go for a pram or pushchair. The other is a stroller that could be transformed into a car or infant carrier. The one is a baby carrier that includes a carrycot. Depending on your baby's age and size, one of these is more appropriate for you than the other.

Many 2 in 1 pram set-in-1 prams can be configured to accommodate infants with an entire flat bassinet, and later transform into a pushchair seat with the option of recline and hood.

It also has a viewing window so you can check on your baby without disturbing them during their naps.

You can choose between an adult-facing and a world-facing configuration for your newborn to toddler, and the option of adding an isofix base and car seat (if you don't have an infant carrier that is compatible).

You can also buy a matching changing pouch with insulated bottle pockets, multiple pockets and multiple compartments for your essentials. This will allow you to keep everything organized in an easy location. Many pushchairs come with a handy shopping basket and some have a smart storage compartment in the back to store everything you need.
