I’ve had a lot of prams since becoming a mum. I think this is the 4th brand I’ve had and so when it comes to what’s great and not great about prams, I have experience and you can bet I have opinions. There's lots of considerations to make when choosing a pram. Size, weight, functionality, colour… but how often do we think about the materials they are made with and how they can impact the health of our babies? I know I didn’t the first time around.
