Swooning at the sight of a pram with good specs? Finding the right pram turns even the most laid back mums and mums-to-be into fierce pram predators. Every mumma has certain criteria for their pram of choice, and size of storage usually comes high on that list.
Whether it’s a last-minute trip to the shops, a weekend picnic in the park or a day cruising the city; when there’s a baby on board, size really does matter. And we think the bigger, the better.
What to look for in prams with big baskets
Foldability: Having a large storage basket is great, just ensure the basket size does not affect the fold and storage of the pram.
Weight: Extra storage is a BIG bonus. Keep in mind the weight of the pram when empty and then add a few (ok, a lot) kilos when giving it a practice run.
Use: What will the pram be used for? Will it be an everyday pram? Or just for trips to the shops? If looking for an everyday pram take the other features and accessories into consideration too.
Access: Having all that extra room is awesome. If you can access it easily, even better!
