What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the main method of transport for infants and toddlers. A great pram is a combination of safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for all the family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for children from newborns to 3 years old. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and around with your baby, you'll want to ensure they're secure. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your little one does not feel anything.

All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby lay flat. This is essential for newborns since it improves oxygenation and helps support their hips and spine. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is able to sit up.

For a really high-end experience this Venicci egg2 has a cosy cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, weighing under 8kg. But it has a sturdy chassis with finely textured leather and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great choice to consider if you're looking to buy something with a similar look but at a lower price. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as some of the other prams we tested however it comes with a large storage basket and extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent, we recommend you consider the travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that are attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to transfer your child from the car to the pram without disturbing them and is ideal for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful 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 be equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to trap their heads or legs. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Each year, many children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The primary reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the most robust prams could fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a child who is wriggling can get in or out of the seat without the harness being secured.

Another frequent cause of injuries is falling from the pram or stroller. If a baby isn't properly secured the pram, they may fall out of the pram and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to make sure that the harness buckle is always clicked into place.

Some prams have an adjustable shade that can be used to shield your baby in any direction from the sun. This feature is beneficial since you don't need to wake up your baby every time you change their position in the stroller or when you go into stores and out. There are other features that can be useful, for example an eating tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. You can also find a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them in sight. Babies are susceptible to wiggle during sleep and could cause them to fall out of the stroller or pram. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you take them apart in order to put them in the car's boot so it's recommended to familiarize yourself with the process before purchasing one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the various sections back together before putting to put them back together.

Durability

A pram must be durable enough to endure several years of wear and tear. You should ensure that your stroller can withstand the mud of a walk, as well as multiple car trips. It is important to ensure that your pram is in a color or pattern that won't fade easily so you don't look as if you've slipped out of fashion.

The best prams are made from high-quality materials and are designed to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an efficient suspension system. The best prams will also feature a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or boot when not when not in use.

All the prams in this list allow babies to lay flat. This is crucial for babies, because it aids in the development of their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some have a carrycot, or a fully-reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on as your child grows.

If you are buying a pram for the very first time you should consider a travel system that has the carrycot as well as car seats could be of interest. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It comes with a handy feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she claimed was important for her son as he was at an exploratory stage.

Another alternative is another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that can be converted from a single pushchair to double pushchair and has 30 possible configurations and features luxe fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not cheap, but you can use it with multiple children if necessary. Like our top pick iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included can be used right from birth.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as much as they can in order to promote development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models permit an entirely flat position using the carrycot which is fully reclined, whereas others have a seat which reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature and is fantastic at what it does, as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her 10-month-old son. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her little one with the press of a button to keep him in the view of others and still maintain eye contact and closeness.

The frame is ideal for nipping around town, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off road or on rough terrain. It's a great option when you are planning to have a second child in the near future since it can be transformed from a single pushchair into a twin pram or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for infants as it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat in the event that you purchase it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place This is an option that not all prams offer. This reduces time and makes it simpler to use.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are features you'd expect to find in a top model, but the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver over different terrains. It's also an ideal choice if you live in a city and must navigate narrow streets or busy sidewalks regularly. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this pram will save you money in the end by not having to invest in a separate toddler pushchair. You can pick from a variety of colors to suit your preferences.
