What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the main mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of comfort, safety and design to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns to 3-year-old children. The reversible handle lets you to rotate the seat so that your child can either face you or the world around them.

Comfort

You want your baby to feel comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your child isn't apprehensive.

All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby lay flat. This is important for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their hips and spine. They also have a seat that can be converted to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

For a really high-end feel it's the Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon-like feel for your baby with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have an upholstered liner and mattress. It's also lighter than most prams on the market at under 8kg but still has an extremely sturdy chassis and grained leather accents, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof, and can take on more rural settings.

If you're looking for something more affordable, but with a similar style, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as light as some of the other prams we've tested but it has an impressively big storage basket and an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're the first parent of your child, we'd recommend considering a travel system bundle which includes a Pram for newborn push chairs and prams car seat that attach to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to move their child from their car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram for travel that can be converted easily from a'pramette' that lies flat to a pushchair for toddlers compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram should have a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is secure and should not allow any gaps to entrap their legs or heads. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they are not cracked and have signs of wear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. The most common cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags to the handles or if a child who is wriggling can get in or out of the seat without harnesses being properly secured.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not fastened properly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the harness buckle is always clicked into place.

Some prams have a reversible shade that can be used to protect your baby in any direction from the sun. This feature is helpful because you won't have to wake up your baby every time you change their position in the stroller or when you enter and out of shops. There are other features that are useful, such as a snack tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. You can also find an extra shopping basket under the seat.

You should never leave a sleeping child in their stroller unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep and this can cause them to slide off the pram or stroller and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram is not a substitute for the crib. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the day.

The majority of prams require you to take them apart in order to put them in the trunk of your car so it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with this process before purchasing one. Also, check how it is easy to put the different sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to withstand many years of wear and wear and tear. This includes the need to endure the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, which is why you want to be sure your choice is able to do the job you need it to. It is also important for your stroller to have the form of a color or print that won't date quickly so that you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.

The most effective prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They are designed to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The top prams have a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not being used.

All the prams on this list allow babies to lie flat, which is vital for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their hips and spine. Some are made to grow with your child with some featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be moved off and on the frame when your child is no longer using it.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you might be looking for a travel system that is a complete package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. Our test-driver for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month-old son. It is a revolutionary feature that allows you to raise and lower your baby at the touch of a single button. This lets you maintain eye contact with your child and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be transformed from a single triple pushchair into a double with 30 different configurations. It also comes with sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap, but you could use it for more than one child in the event of need and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns should lie flat as much as they can in order to promote development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams permit this. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using a carrycot that can be completely reclined, while others have a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter and it's brilliant at that as our tester for parents Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son of 10 months. She loved the fact that she could raise and lower her baby at the touch of a button and keep him in the view of others while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is ideal for nipping around town, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a good choice if you're planning on having another child in the near future since it is able to convert from a single pram to a twin stroller or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat, if you buy it separately. It can be folded with the carrycot still in place This is something that not all prams have. This saves time and makes it simpler to use.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are the kind of things you'd expect on a high-end pram and its sleek design makes it easy to handle across a variety of terrains. It's also an ideal choice for those who reside in a city and must navigate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks frequently. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the purchase of a separate toddler stroller. You can pick from a variety of colors that will fit your personal style.
