We all know what it's like when you stop by the shops to pick up a few things and end up struggling with the buggy and a whole load of bags. That's where pram clips come in.
Clipping over the handle of your buggy, these clever clips enable you to securely hang bags from them instead of trying to hold them or ram them into the already stuffed basket beneath your buggy. Sometimes the smartest ideas really are the simplest ones eh?
Several bags such as shopping bags, changing bags and handbags can be hooked onto the pram clips before snapping the clip back into place. Just to be sure not to overload your buggy.
In our humble opinion, buggy clips are a must-buy for parents and one of those baby buys you never knew you needed. Our number one tip is to ensure that the pram clips you buy are suitable for your buggy or pram, so be sure to check in the product description or the manufacturer of your buggy.
The best pram clips to buy
These award-winning buggy clips are loved by mums all over the UK. Made of strong and sturdy aluminium, each one can hold up to 5kg each. The carabiner hook is 8cm long and similar to those used for rock climbing!
Review: "These clips are one of the best purchases I have bought for my pram. They fit round your handle perfectly and they hold a lot of shopping and can be balanced out each side."

Available in black, pink, blue and white, this single pram clip has a foam coating which prevents moving on the pram handle and any marks being made.
Review: "Wish I found this sooner!!! Was sick of worrying if a changing bag would fit under and this solved all the issues. The handle bar on my pushchair is really thick and covered in foam and this still fit like a dream! Hasn’t scratched my pushchair either so that’s great."
These carabiner clips are small and mobile but made with a secure and adjustable strap to keep everything in place when out and about. Easy to fasten, the velcro straps can be adjusted to suit your buggy. Each carries the weight of 5kg each.
Review: "Brilliant buggy clips! Very strong and well made. We use them on our Silver Cross pushchair for the shopping bags and I’m very happy I’ve purchased these. Before I couldn’t fit any bags on the push chair as there isn’t any handles & the basket space underneath is very small. Great little gadget!"
They may be plastic but these buggy hooks are pretty robust and can hold up to 3.2kg’s per hook. They rotate a full 360 degrees for your preferred positioning.
Review: "I only bought these last week and have used them every time I have used the pram. They don't look very useful on first inspection but they are great for those extra bags that don't fit under the pram, and if you get them in the right position you can hang a wire shopping basket from them going around the supermarket."
If you've got an older child who loves to ride a scooter, this buggy hook is the one from you as it easily carries both small and large scooters and you can attach up to two hooks per buggy.
Review: "Helpful hook to hang a scooter on your buggy. This one is well made and so lasts well. Many others are badly designed and are made of inferior plastic so they break easily from the weight of the scooter. Recommend this one."
A Mother and Baby award winner, these stylish pram clips are made from durable performance fabric in complimentary brown faux leather. Each of the large matte black carabiners can handle 5Kg with ease.
Review: "These clips are great for prams or pushchairs with wide handles. I've bought clips in the past but they wouldn't fit just to the side of the prams handle. These come with strong velcro and will fit the widest of handles. They are easy to position but don't move once in place."
