When it comes to shopping for your new arrival, there’s no substitute for seeing, touching, and trying all the equipment for yourself. That’s why at Bumpstart Baby Shop, we invite you to try before you buy, giving you the time, space, and specialist guidance to make the right choices for your family.
Why Trying In-Store Matters
From the fold of a pushchair to the fit of a car seat, buying baby essentials is all about what works for your life. Online images and reviews can only go so far, sometimes, you just need to feel it for yourself.
That’s where we come in.
At Bumpstart, our showroom is set up so you can get hands-on with our full range of prams, car seats, carriers, furniture, and accessories. We’ll walk you through your options, demonstrate key features, and even boot check prams and fit carseats into your
vehicle so you can see what works best.
See How a Pram Really Fits Into Your Life
Prams and travel systems can vary hugely in size, weight, and folding mechanisms — and what looks great online might not be the best fit for your car, home, or lifestyle.
That’s why we encourage you to:
-
Fold and lift prams yourself — feel the weight and see how compact they really are
-
Try different models side by side to compare features and handling
-
Test prams in your car boot to check for size, shape, and fit
-
Practice folding/unfolding so you know it works for you day-to-day
Whether you’re dealing with a tight hallway, a small car, or stairs at home — we’ll help you find something that fits you.See Colours, Finishes & Fabrics in Person
