What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or Sling, is the main method of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort 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 up to 3 year old children. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

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

All prams featured in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is essential for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your child is able to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that offers a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It features smooth, curvaceous lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into flat however, it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also lighter than the majority of prams on the market at under 8kg but still has a sturdy chassis and grained leather accents and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to handle more rugged terrains.

If you want something less expensive but with the same design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The stylish, one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we tested however it comes with a big storage basket and an the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent we suggest you look into a travel system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their child from the car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette, or a lie-flat 'pramette to a stroller for toddlers compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also have no gaps in which their heads or legs are likely to get caught. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. Every year, a large number of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. The main cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you hook bags onto the handles, or if a wriggling child can get in or out of the seat without the harness being properly secured.

Another reason for injury is falling from the pram or babiie stroller. If a baby's harness is not fastened properly, it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain 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 an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from the sun in both directions. This feature is beneficial since you don't need to wake your baby every time you change their position in the stroller or when you go in and out of shops. There are other features that can be useful, for example snacks for your child or toddler stroller and drink holders. There is also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being in sight. Babies are prone to wiggle while asleep and this can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram should not be used as a substitute for the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you to dismantle them to put them in the trunk of your car so it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before you purchase one. Also, check how it is easy to put the different parts back together and click them in place.

Durability

A pram needs to be durable enough to withstand many years of wear and wear and tear. You want to make sure that your stroller can withstand the mud of a walk and also multiple car trips. You also want your pram to come in a print or colour that doesn't get outdated so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of style.

The best prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are designed to last. Look for durable materials with sturdy tires, as well as a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams are compact and fold easily, so you can store them in your garage or boot.

All the prams on this list allow infants to lie flat, which is essential for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their hips and spine. A lot of these prams are designed to expand with your child's. Some include a carrycot or a reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on when your child outgrows them.

If you are buying a pram for the first time you should consider a travel system that has an infant carrycot and car seats could be worth a look. Our test-driver for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month old son. It comes with a clever feature that raises and lowers your child at the push of a button. This way you can maintain eye contact and keep them close, which she claimed was important to her as he was in an exploratory stage.

Another option is another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two kids, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that can be converted from a single to double pushchair, with 30 possible configurations. It also comes with premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not cheap but you could use it for more than one child in the event of need and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns should lie flat as much as possible to aid development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, which is why it is essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow an entirely flat position using a carrycot that can be fully reclined, whereas others have a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter feature, and it's fantastic at what it does as our tester for parents Jaya found when she tested it with her son of 10 months. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her child by pressing a button to keep him in sight, while still maintaining the eye contact and closeness.

The frame is perfect to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a great option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future because it easily converts from a single pram to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with car seats when you purchase it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place, which is a feature that not all prams provide. This reduces time and makes it more convenient to use.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are things you would expect to see on a premium model, but the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver around diverse terrains. It's also a great option when you reside in a city and need to negotiate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks frequently. While it's not cheap, the quality and versatility of this pram mean that it can save you money over the long term by avoiding the need to invest in a separate pushchair for toddlers. It's available in a broad variety of colors, too, so you can choose one that suits your personal style.
