What you need to know when buying a pram
Strollers vary widely in size, features and performance. Some are designed for everyday use, while others prioritise portability or all-terrain capability.
When buying a baby pram or stroller, consider:
Different stroller types - consider your lifestyle and choose a stroller type that suits you.
Size and portability - if you travel a lot, you may need a stroller that is more compact and lightweight.
Features and safety considerations - think about any other features you might need.
Your lifestyle matters most. Urban parents may prefer compact models, while outdoor use may require larger wheels and suspension.

How we test prams and strollers
We test a range of baby strollers that are available in New Zealand to find the best apps and models.
The test involves scoring:
Safety: we assess how safe the pram is, looking for any hazards to the child and carer.
Ease of use: how easy the stroller is to brake, manoeuvre and store.
Durability: how well the pram holds up after regular usage.
