There’s something magical about children and their dolls prams. Kids who grow up with these toys often grow up to be young men or women who want nothing more than to become parents themselves, and it’s easy to see why! Dolls prams can show children a lot about the way the world works by teaching them about responsibility and how to potentially look after their own children one day. There are a number of things to consider when buying a dolls pram; from style and quality to price, it’s important you get one that is durable and can handle the day to day usage of a toddler! Below we break down some of those factors so you can decide on which is best for your little one.
Dolls prams for imaginative/pretend play
Some of us fondly remember playing with our dolls prams as children and now we want to share that fun with our own children. While modern doll prams are certainly more sophisticated than those of years gone by, they still allow your little one to use their imagination. They might pretend play classic scenes such as parents taking their child shopping, family picnics, or bringing their baby home from hospital.
5 features you need to consider before buying
Before you visit your local toy shop to buy that doll pram you saw on TV, or go online, there are some features you need to check. It all depends on what you want from it and how much money you have to spend. But there are five basic features that every doll pram should have:
- It should be easy to push and turn
- It should fold flat so it can be stored away easily
- It should come with accessories like feeding bottles and cots
- It should fit dolls of different sizes (some dolls will be larger than others)
- You should only spend what you can afford
4 more tips for buying the right dolls pram
- Make sure that the pram is light enough for little hands to push around
- The wheels of the pram should be easy to move
- It should have a handle that is easy to grip
- If you have more than one child, make sure that each of them has their own dolls pram to minimise arguments!
