Let's start with why you need a Pram when your little one arrives?
Prams are an essential tool in your new parenting kit - they provide you with the flexibility to get out & about with Bub. Once your little one arrives, daily errands like grocery shopping and walks around the neighbourhood will change - along with everything you will need to take with you!
Of course you will always have the option of simpling carrying your Bub, whether that be in your arms or with the aid of a sling or carrier, but there will be times when you need your hands free, and a pram is the perfect solution.
Your pram needs will certainly change as your newborn grows and develops through infanthood into a walking-talking toddler who may no longer want to sit it in a pram, but you’ll cross that bridge when you come to it! For now, we suggest you choose a pram that will suit your current lifestyle and needs.
Now, let's figure out what kind of Parent you are going to be?
Before we jump into the different types of prams available, let’s figure out what kind of parent you think you’re going to be! We’ve made it easy for you and created a few different personas you might identify with - and don’t worry if you can’t decide, there’s a pram for everyone!

Now that we've found you a match, let's unpack the features of each pram type:
There are many types of prams & strollers and your first google search may leave you in hysterics screaming. “Do I want a single stroller? BUT WAIT, what’s a 3 WHEEL STROLLER?! Is that different to a running stroller?? What if I have a second baby, does that mean I have to buy a double stroller NOW?!”
It can be quite the overwhelming experience, but don’t worry, we know and that’s why the team at Baby Village is here to help. We have compiled a list of the main categories of strollers and why they’re great below!
1. Single Strollers:Single prams are ideal for parents who are looking for a one and done stroller that has it all, outdoor, indoor, urban settings, however if you’re looking to grow your tribe in a hurry or you’re already onto your second this may not be the choice for you.
2. 3-Wheel Strollers: Three-wheel prams are fantastic for a versatile stroller that is easy to navigate in an outdoor environment. If you’re a walker, enjoy the outdoors or are often in a rush and need to swerve around corners at high speed then this might just be the perfect pram for you.
3. Inline Prams (Convert to Double):Inline Prams are a great choice for parents who are open to the possibility of having more than one child as they easily convert into double prams!
4. Lightweight Strollers: Lightweight Strollers are the option for parents who are always on the move. Getting in and out of cars and up stairs can prove quite the difficult challenge after a baby so if you’re doing it often we highly recommend a lighter option. We also have a great selection of Compact Strollerswhich are often lightweight but fit into small places and have an easy fold.
5. Value Prams: Value Prams are a fantastic option for parents who are looking to buy high quality prams for their babies but on a budget! They offer the same immaculate safety standards as all prams but give saving conscious parents a bit more wiggle room for other purchases for Bub. See our Top 30 Prams & Strollers for 2024 here to see our selection.
6. Side-By-Side Double Prams: Double Prams are a great option for parents who are having twins, their second or third child (and so on!). It really is a life saver when you can take all your kids safely with you on an adventure outdoors!
7. Running Strollers: Prams such as running strollers are a fantastic option for parents who are used to living an active lifestyle and prefer running over strolling. Why not take Bub on the run with you?!
8. Travel Strollers:Strollers that are easily able to fit in overhead storage, the boot of your car or taxi are perfect for travel and great for jetsetting parents. They allow you the flexibility of moving around & travelling long distances easily with your little one.
You can read about all the fantastic options that we offer within each of these categories at our Top 30 Prams & Strollers of 2024 blog here.
If you are still finding it difficult to decide, are feeling overwhelmed and just not sure what to do, don’t worry we totally understand. Our friendly staff are all parents too so feel free to come into the store, or give us a call to chat through your options, questions or concerns! We are always here to help.
With love, BVx
