A stroller or pram should include a break that is working and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it.

Find a pram that allows your baby to travel in the recommended position of lying flat.

It also reduces the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways clear.

It is also a good idea to remove any bags or objects from the handles since they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.
