subject: Finding The Right Pram [print this page] Taking baby for a walk in a pram or a baby carriage is one of life's simple pleasures. Wherever you live, walking baby means having a suitable pram and planning on showing off your baby basically. The prerequisites for a proud baby carriage are large wheels and a top convertible type covering that covers baby up to the chin.
Baby should be nestled in soft folds of fleecy or crochet blankets. But, since the most visible part of walking the baby is the pram, that, like a dog's leash is what people will notice and remark on audibly. My, what a lovely day for a walk and where did you ever find such a charming pram. Baby carriages are big busness in baby products especially in baby toy stores.
Your baby will use his carriage for a good nine months. Once you baby has outgrown his carriage which is around the time that he tries to get up on two legs, you will need a stroller. A stroller has the baby sitting upright with legs extended between two flaps and very visible. But,your pram will be yours forever unless you give it to your friend, sell it or keep it for another baby in the family.
Good quality prams are a sign of position. A cheaply made carriage with wobbly wheels and looking as if the wind could carry it off, really doesn't make much of an impression. Baby's on parade are a cultural practice and showing them off can be expensive. For some reason, women do not really mind spending more on a fine baby carriage. Maybe, it's because a pram is an extension of mom carrying her baby out of doors for a bit of air. Fine carriages occassionally are monogrammed from the manufacturer. A quality baby carriage has ample space for extra diapers and bottles. They can be seen as a mini baby station complete with wheels for ease in movement.
Taking a book to read and storing it underneath the carriage where you can also store other essentials for a day at the park with baby is another feature that makes prams a vehicle designed for considerate mothers and their well cared for babes.
