how to use this picker

- •before buying, fit-check the pram in your car boot — bring a tape measure to Baby Bunting or Babyology and ask staff to fold it for you.
- •if you'll have another baby within 3 years, buy once at the higher tier — premium prams hold resale value much better than budget ones.
