A selected few available on the market do not offer a high level of support or strength when using them for day to day dashing around or different surface walking. You also need a pram that is easy to manoeuvre. Some prams are very bulky and therefore do not steer very well and can be a burden when trying to go shopping or via any tight spaces that require quite responsive and versatile wheels. There also needs to be a good system in place for when it is folded down. A pram that does not fit in the boot of your car is not much use when you want to go out for the day.
For home you will need to consider high chairs from around 4 months. When your baby begins to eat semi-solids and then eventually onto solids when they can sit up un-aided you will need a high chair for feeding. High chairs again need to be kept in your home at all times so finding one that fits into a spare space in your home is ideal for when not in use. You can also find many high chairs in so many different designs to fit in with your interior decor. A high chair is something a baby should enjoy being in because it is where they associate food, a babies favourite time no doubt so comfort is vital for your child.
