What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a pushchair or stroller) is the most popular form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of safety, comfort 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 kids. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

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

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide all allow your baby to lie flat, which is important for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen levels and assists in the development of their spine and hips. They also have seats which can be transformed to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit.

For a luxurious feel, the Venicci egg2 provides a warm feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seats that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but has padding on the mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, weighing under 8kg. However, it is sturdy and has grained leather details and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

If you want something less expensive but with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as lightweight as other strollers strollers, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also comes with an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent we recommend a travel system bundle which includes a pram and car seat that are attached to the same frame. This allows 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 useful pram for travel that can be converted easily from a'pramette' lying flat to a pushchair for toddlers compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should come with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also not have any gaps in which their heads or legs are likely to get caught. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are not cracked and have signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised every year due to injuries from strollers or prams for newborns. The most common cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams can fall over if you hang bags to the handles or if a wriggling child is able to get into or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram for newborn or stroller. If a baby is not properly secured the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is important to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always clicked into place.

A few good prams also come with an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from sun in both directions. This is a great feature since you will not be having to wake your child up when you are changing their position in the pram, or when you are to and from the shops. There are other features that can be useful, like an eating tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

You should never let a child sleep in their stroller unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this can cause them to fall off the pram or stroller and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib and should be used only for short periods of time during the day.

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

Durability

A pram must be able to last through many years of wear and wear and tear. You want to make sure that your baby's pram is able to handle slippery walks as well as a variety of car trips. Also, you want your pram to be in an image or color that doesn't get outdated so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of style.

The most effective prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They are built to last. So, look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels and an effective suspension system. The best prams will also have a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or the boot when not being used.

All prams on this list allow babies to lie on their backs. This is important for infants because it allows them to develop their hips and spine, and boosts oxygen levels. Some are made to grow with your child, with some of them having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be clicked off and back on the frame when your little one outgrows it.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a travel system that is a complete bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It has an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your baby with the touch of 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 kids Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be transformed from a single pushchair double, with 30 different configurations. It also features sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap however, you can use it for more than one child if you need to. And like our winner model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included, it can be used as early as.

Style

All prams pushchairs prams should permit newborns to lie flat as possible. This will help with their development and increase oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models provide a flat surface with a fully-reclinable carrycots, while others have a seat that reclines to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for both as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old daughter. She loved the fact that she could raise and lower her baby at the press of a button to keep him in sight and still maintain eye contact and closeness.

The frame is perfect for nipping around town and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off the road or on rough terrain. It's a great choice if you plan to have a second child in the future because it can easily be transformed from a single pushchair a twin or double pram and pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels luxurious. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. You can even fold it using the carrycot as a stand - something that does not happen with all prams, so it's an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are things you would expect to see on a high-end model However, the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver around diverse terrains. This is a great choice if you live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or congested pathways regularly. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the purchase of an additional stroller for your toddler. You can pick from a wide range of colors to suit your style.
