What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and design to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic pram for newborns to 3-year-old kids. Its reversible handle allows you to rotate the seat so that your child can look at you or the world around them.

Comfort

If you're out and about with a baby, you need to ensure that they're safe. There are prams to make sure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide allow your baby to lie flat, which is essential for infants as lying flat improves oxygen levels and assists in the development of their hips and spine. They also come with seats that can be changed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that has a cocoon-like feeling for your baby. It is smooth and has curving lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, that doesn't recline to a flat position however it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also lighter than other prams, weighing less than 8kg but has solid chassis and grained leather accents as well as tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof, and can be used in more rural environments.

If you want something less expensive but with the same design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams, but it does have a huge storage basket. It also has an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and shaded.

If you're the first parent of your child we suggest you look into a travel system bundle which includes a pram as well as a car seat that attach to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their baby from the car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical pram for travel that can be converted easily from a'pramette' lying flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It should also not have any gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Many children are admitted to hospitals every year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the main cause of these injuries. Even the strongest prams can 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 properly secured.

Another common cause of injuries is falling from the stroller or pram. If a baby's harness is not secured properly it can cause them to fall from the stroller, causing neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the harness buckle is always secured.

A few good prams also come with a reversible canopy that will protect your baby from the sun in either direction. This is a useful feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby up when you are changing their position in the pram or while you are in and out of shops. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a shopping basket underneath the seat, and a handlebar that locks in place when you are not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being in sight. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this may cause them to roll off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart most prams in order to put them in the trunk of your car. This procedure should be familiarised with before you purchase one. Find out how easy it will be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram must be able to last through several years of wear and wear and tear. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and many car journeys, so you need to ensure that your choice can do the job you need it to. It is important to ensure that your stroller is in the right color or design that isn't prone to fading so that you don't appear like you've fallen out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed of high-quality materials and are designed to last. So, look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an effective suspension system. The top prams have a compact fold, so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not being used.

All prams on this list allow the baby to lie flat. This is crucial for infants as it helps them develop their hips and spine and improves oxygenation levels. A lot of these prams are designed to expand with your child's. Some have a carrycot, or a reclined seat 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 also be looking for a travel stroller system that is a complete bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. Our test-driver for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month old son. It has an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This lets you keep your eyes on your child and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that can be converted from a single pushchair to double pushchair and has 30 different configurations, and comes with luxe fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not expensive, but you can use it with more than one child if you need to. And like our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its included carrycot can be used from the moment of birth.

Style

Newborns must lay flat as much as they can to help develop and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, so it is essential that all prams permit this. Some models permit an all-flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclined, whereas others have a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter and it's brilliant in this regard, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her 10-month-old son. She loved the ability to raise or lower her child by pressing a button to keep him in view, while still maintaining the eye contact and closeness.

The frame is ideal for city trips and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a smart option if you're thinking of having a second child in the future since it can easily be converted from a single pram to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's suitable for babies since it comes with a carrycot that can be folded flat and is compatible with car seats if purchased separately. It can be folded by putting the carrycot in place and it's something that does not happen with all prams, so it's a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are all features you'd expect to find in a top model However, the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver around various terrains. It's also a great choice if you reside in a city and need to negotiate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks regularly. This pram is not cheap pushchairs but its versatility and quality could save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for a separate toddler stroller. You can choose from a variety of colors to suit your style.
