Are preloved prams safe?

If you’re thinking about buying a preloved pram, safety is usually the first question and that’s completely normal. The good news is that a well-chosen preloved pram can be just as safe as a new one, as long as it’s been properly checked.

At our store, every pram is carefully inspected before it’s made available, so you can shop with confidence.

What makes a pram safe?

A safe pram should always have:

• A strong, stable frame with no damage
• Fully working brakes
• Smooth wheel movement
• Secure folding mechanism
• Clean, intact fabrics and harness

If any of these are compromised, the pram should not be used.

What parents should still check

Even when buying preloved, it’s good to:

• Test the brakes before first use
• Check the harness is secure
• Make sure everything clicks and locks properly
• Clean fabrics if needed

Final thoughts

Buying preloved doesn’t mean compromising on safety. It simply means choosing a well-made pram that still has plenty of life left in it often at a much better price.
