Comfort

You want your child to be at ease when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure that your baby doesn't feel a thing.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lie flat. This is essential for newborns since it improves oxygenation and strengthens their spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position once your baby is able to sit up.

Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to trap their legs or heads. The straps must be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year because of pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the primary reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams can tip over when you strap bags to the handles or if a child is wriggling and falls out or in the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby is not securely secured in the pram, they could fall out of the pram and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always secured.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will protect your baby from the sun in both directions. This is a useful feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram or when you are in and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat and a handlebar that locks into position when you're not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them in sight. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep, which can cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for short periods of time during the day.

It is necessary to take apart the majority of prams to fit them in the boot of your vehicle. This process should be familiarised with before you purchase one. Check how easy it will be to put the parts back together.

Durability

A pram must be able endure a long time of wear. This includes having to deal with the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice is able to do the job you need it to. You want to make sure that your pram is a color or pattern that will not date easily to avoid looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The most reliable prams are constructed of top-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and an effective suspension system. The most reliable prams have a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not in use.

All the prams in 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. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child's. Some include carrycots, or a reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on when your child outgrows them.

If you're looking to purchase a brand new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a pushchairs travel systems system which is a bundle that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat.

It's not expensive however, it can be used for more than one child if you need to. Like our top pick model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included, it can be used from the moment of birth.

Style

Newborns must lay flat as often as they can in order to promote development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, so it is essential that all prams permit this. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclined, whereas others have a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for both, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old child. She loved the fact that she could raise and lower her child with the press of a button and keep him in view while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.
