Prams : What & Which
4 minute read, Written By: Momly
What is a Pram?
A Pram is a baby accessory or a comfortable nest used to carry and drive a baby until it can sit independently. Since a baby’s body is not fully developed and its neck/back area is not firm enough, a pram is used to hold it in place and help with mobility. You can push a pram to take your baby to a park, shopping complex, or just for a walk in your society premises.
Why is Pram useful for your baby?
Pram is very useful as it provides comfort and support for a baby. The parents need not carry their baby all the time. It makes their life easy as you could lay your baby in a recliner pram or a pram bassinet to take a break from carrying. A pram comes with a roof or pram cover which shields the baby from heat and sunlight. Also, prams give a snug atmosphere to babies. While watching out for features in a pram, safety always comes first. We have listed certain features you can look for before making a purchase.
Pram vs stroller – What’s the difference?
Momly mom Nandini says, “Prams are for younger babies who are too small to sit or lie down without support whereas strollers are for older babies who can sit upright without support”.
What features you should look for in Pram?
- Adjustable roof cover
- Adjustable handle
- Basket to hold your baby’s toys, snack box, water bottle, or diaper bag
- Full/semi-recliner seat based on your baby’s neck position
- 4 Wheel prams as they offer stability and do not wobble
- Reversible seat and handle to adjust the facing position
- Extra padding.
