If you're a first-time parent in the UK, I'd focus on baby brands that are safe, reliable, easy to use and good value for money rather than buying everything from one expensive brand.

There isn't one best brand for every baby product. A brand that makes an excellent pram might not be the best choice for a car seat, cot or baby monitor.

The best all-round pram in the UK is the Nuna MIXX next: it combines a reversible seat, newborn suitability, a relatively compact 60 cm width, and a manageable 12.4 kg chassis.

### Best UK prams by need

- Best overall: Nuna MIXX next - balanced size, comfort and everyday usability. - Best premium all-rounder: Mamas & Papas Ocarro 2 - sturdy, comfortable and particularly good on varied surfaces; around £849. - Best value: Joie Versatrax - reversible seat, suspension and a lower price than premium models. - Best travel pram: Joolz Aer² - compact and convenient for travel. - Best for rough paths: Thule Spring 2 or Out N About Nipper - better suited to parks, gravel and uneven terrain. - Best for a growing family: UPPAbaby Vista - designed to adapt for a second child. - Best budget option: Ickle Bubba Aries Auto-Fold - around £159.

Quick recommendation: choose the Nuna MIXX next for most families; choose the Joie Versatrax if value matters most, or the Joolz Aer² if you use public transport and travel frequently. Check that the package includes a carrycot or newborn insert, since not every listed price includes one.
