Shopping for a new set of wheels? Welcome to the wonderful world of parental choice paralysis (trust us, there will be more to come) when it comes to prams!
With so many options out there, picking the right pram can feel as tricky as getting a newborn to sleep through the night - we see you, tired parents. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back!
Here’s a practical guide to help you find the one—the perfect pram that suits your lifestyle, budget, and parenting needs right here in Singapore.
Are you a city stroller or an off-road adventurer? Do you live in an HDB flat with tight lifts or a landed home with storage space?
-
For city parents: A lightweight, compact stroller is your best bet. Think easy folding, narrow frame, and smooth maneuvering for Singapore’s busy malls and MRT rides.
-
For active parents: If you plan on taking long walks or jogs with your baby, look for a pram with sturdy wheels and good suspension to handle different terrains.
-
For car owners: A travel system (pram + car seat combo) is a lifesaver for seamless car-to-stroller transfers.
Singapore life = lots of public transport, stairs, and small storage spaces. A heavy, bulky pram might look fancy, but it won’t feel so great when you have to lug it up the stairs at an MRT station without a lift.
Look for:
✅ One-hand fold for easy handling
✅ Lightweight design (under 8kg is ideal for portability)
✅ Compact fold to fit into car boots or small HDB store rooms
You want your little one to be comfy, but let’s be honest—your comfort matters too! Don’t sleep on features such as:
-
Adjustable recline for newborn naps and toddler sit-ups
-
Good ventilation (Singapore is hot, and a sweaty baby = cranky baby)
-
Reversible seat so baby can face you in the early months and the world later on
-
Adjustable handle height (a must-have if you and your partner are different heights!)
4. Safety First, Always
A pram that isn’t safe is a no-go. These features should be in your checklist:
✔️ 5-point safety harness to keep baby secure
✔️ Sturdy brakes that are easy to engage
✔️ Stable frame to prevent tipping
✔️ Sun canopy with UV protection (because Singapore sun is no joke!)
5. Budget vs. Features
Prams range from budget-friendly to high-end, feature-packed options. Much like a car (only without COE), you should buy what you need, to fit the budget you have.
-
Basic strollers ($100-$300): Good for quick trips, lightweight but with fewer features
-
Mid-range ($300-$700): Great balance of quality, comfort, and durability
-
Premium ($700+): Often include luxury designs, all-terrain wheels, and extra comfort features
