A pram needs to do more in everyday life than simply look good. It should suit where you live, how you transport it in the car, your child’s age and the storage space available. Similar product names and marketing claims can also make it harder to compare models.
As Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I focus on the key buying criteria that matter in practice. This can help you avoid common buying mistakes – from choosing a travel system that’s too heavy to buying a travel stroller that won’t fit in your boot.
A model described as a pram from birth may require a carrycot, a fully flat recline or compatibility with an infant car seat. So check:
A pram with carrycot is generally suitable for the early lying-down stage. A pram with infant car seat can be handy for short journeys, but it won’t necessarily offer every other type of use.
A small folded size makes a pram easier to store, but tells you little about how much it weighs to carry. A compact pram can still have a heavy frame. If you’ll be carrying it up stairs, taking it on the train or loading it into the car regularly, three details are especially important:
A lightweight travel stroller weighing 5,5 kg is very different to carry from a travel system weighing more than 18 kg in total.
Large wheels and suspension can help on uneven paths. But a wide frame may be awkward in narrow shops or on public transport. Consider the combination of wheel size, manoeuvrability, width and parking brake – not just one marketing claim.
Many models are listed as prams up to 22 kg. This refers to the maximum weight of the child, and shouldn’t be confused with the total weight in the shopping basket. Never exceed the weight limit, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions on seat position and harness use.
With a pushchair, it’s also worth checking whether the backrest reclines, whether there’s a footrest and how to adjust the 5-point harness. Only models specifically approved for running or use with inline skates are suitable for those activities.
Before you buy, measure:
A pram set with a carrycot, pushchair seat and adapter can be versatile, but it needs more storage space than a travel stroller.
Before every journey, check that all the locks are engaged and the harness is adjusted correctly. Useful features include:
UV protection ratings such as UV 50+ are product specifications set by the manufacturer. They don’t replace general sun protection and shouldn’t be interpreted as a medical guarantee of protection.
Why it suits this family: This set includes a frame, carrycot, pushchair seat and car seat adapter, making it suitable for several stages of your child’s development.
The specifications state that it can be used up to 22 kg and folds down to 73 × 61 × 34 cm. This makes it easier to get a realistic idea of how long you can use it and how much storage space you’ll need.
The carrycot, pushchair seat and adapter are included; according to the product information, the covers can be washed at 30 °C.
Why it suits this family: This travel stroller is designed for families who need a lightweight option that folds down small for days out.
It folds down to 59 × 21,5 × 46,5 cm and weighs 5,5 kg. If you’re flying, check your airline’s current hand luggage rules as well.
One-handed folding, a transport backpack, a fully adjustable backrest and stated suitability from birth up to 22 kg.
Why it suits this family: This buggy board with seat is designed for families whose older child sometimes needs a place to sit on longer walks.
The specifications state a minimum age of 15 months, a maximum weight of 20 kg and adjustable adapters. Check that it’s compatible with your pram before you buy.
360-degree swivel wheels, a seat with a 2-point harness, three seat heights and eight height settings for the adapter.
Why it suits this family: This manoeuvrable city pram is designed for frequent trips around town and easy storage.
Its stated weight of 7 kg, one-handed folding and integrated carry handle help tackle common transport problems. Still, check the dimensions against your available storage space.

For children aged three and over, battery-free pull-back dinosaur cars can be a simple addition to indoor and outdoor play. The Dinosaur Pull-Back Car Toys Set includes six vehicles with a pull-back mechanism and needs no batteries or charger.
Important: Although the product information says the toys are suitable from age two, it also warns that they contain small parts and should not be given to children under 36 months. The stricter warning should therefore guide your buying decision. Use the toys only under supervision, and never point them towards anyone’s face or eyes. Shop pull-back dinosaur cars
We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
It depends on the model and its weight limit. Some travel systems are designed for use from infancy up to 22 kg. The limits for the carrycot, pushchair seat and harness are what matter. Stop using the pram if your child exceeds the permitted weight or can climb out of the seat unaided.
A travel system offers more features, but is usually heavier and bulkier. A travel stroller is often a better choice for air travel, public transport and small car boots. Always check the relevant airline’s requirements before booking a flight, as airlines may have different rules for folded size and weight.
Regularly remove sand and dirt from the wheels and joints. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and follow the care instructions for the fabrics. Check the brakes, harness, locks and wheels before each use. If you notice unusual movement, cracks or damaged fixings, stop using the pram until you’ve found out what’s wrong.
