Parenting means forgetting how to define word 'easy'. After all, you want the best for your baby which includes shopping for prams and pushchairs. Finding cheap prams without compromising on quality can be difficult at brick and mortar stores. However, some of the best online stores now stock all the popular models offered by top manufacturers. Here is a simple guide to features that you should look for when buying prams and pushchairs.

Babies prams and pushchairs come both as twin and single models. The only difference between prams and pushchairs is that in prams the baby faces away from the parent pushing it. In pushchairs the baby gets to face towards the street and away from the parent. The twin or double prams and pushchairs are of two kinds – those with the seats side-by-side and those with one seat in front of the other. The advantage of side-by-side model of prams and pushchairs is that the seats can be adjusted to different seating or reclining levels. However, these models can be a little difficult to move and occupy more space.

When looking for cheap prams and pushchairs you cannot afford to compromise on safety features. Check the kind of locking system you have for the wheels, the suspension strength, swivel wheels and overall sturdiness. Usually a good aluminum frame works well for most pushchairs and prams. A special feature like ventilation at the reclining level is also something to look for if you want increased comfort for your baby.

As a parent interested in taking your baby along to the grocery store or shopping mall you can pick a buggy that has extra compartments or shopping tray. Modern manufacturers keep the modern parent in mind and incorporate pockets in the covers of the prams for goggles, diapers, purse etc also. Some babies prams come with a shopping bag clip too.

Several prams and pushchairs come with a travel car seat attachment or conversion system. In any case always consider how easily you can fold the buggy even if you do not intend to travel much. Most popular models of prams and pushchairs now come with a one-step fold mechanism and can easily be stowed in the boot of the car.
