Pram type
Wooden dolls prams
A wooden dolls pram trades a little weight for a frame that will not flex, crack or fade the way plastic can. Here is what to check before buying one for a child aged three and up.

What to look for in a wooden pram
The frame quality is everything here. Look for sanded, rounded edges with no splinters, joints that are glued and screwed rather than just glued, and paint or varnish labelled non-toxic and suitable for children's toys.
Because wooden prams do not fold flat, measure your storage space before buying — most sit permanently in a bedroom or playroom corner rather than a cupboard.

What UK parents ask us before choosing a wooden dolls pram.
-
Well-made wooden dolls prams are safe from around age three, once a child is less likely to chew the frame. Check for smooth, sanded edges, non-toxic paint or varnish, and a UKCA or CE mark before buying.
