Welcome to the Project Baby Buggy Buying Guide!
You can find us all weekend at The Baby Show NEC, where we’ll be on hand to offer expert advice and help you pick your perfect set of wheels.
Before making that all-important purchase, here are a few key things to think about:
Your lifestyle, here's a few things to think about
-
Where are you pushing your pram the most, busy city streets, country paths, or a bit of both
-
Do you have a car? think about boot space and lifting your pram into your boot on your own.
- Public Transport - How compact do you need it to be, what type of public transport is used most?
- Country walks, think big wheels. No-one wants to be picking our leaves out of the wheels.
- Storage space - Do you have space to store if not being stored in a car?
The Right type of pram
- Travel System - everything (carrycot, car seat and frame)
- Pram (carrycot)
- Pushchair Main seat (6months+)
- Buggy/Stroller Lightweight, travel friendly
Who's Pushing it the most
- Thinking about height of the handlebar
- Thinking about the weight of the pram and lifting into the car etc
Budget
- Think about your budget before you get to the store or show
- What do you want included for your budget
Safety
- Check breaks
- Sturdy frame
- What's the warranty
Try before you buy
This is where Shows really come into their own at The Baby Show you will get to be hands on with all the major pram brands all under one roof.
- Folding it, do you need to be able to fold it with one hand.
- Lifting (into boot height)
- Terrains (The buggy track is best for this)
- Adjustable handlebar
If it feels annoying in-store it'll be worse at 7am in the rain
Choosing a buggy is a big decision, but with the right guidance, it can be an exciting one too. Come and chat with us we’re here to help you find the perfect fit.
