What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transport for infants and toddlers. A great pram combines safety, comfort and design that makes walking fun for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller for infants to three years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your child to be comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams that will ensure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide let your baby lie flat, which is essential for infants as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and supports their developing hips and spine. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position once your baby is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram that offers a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It has smooth, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shaped seat which does not recline into an upright position however it does come with an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, at a weight of just 8kg. But it is sturdy and has finely textured leather and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great option when you're looking for a model with a similar design but at a lower price.

If you are a first-time parent we suggest you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that are attached to the same frame. This allows parents to move their child from their car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette, or a lie-flat 'pramette into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco iSize car seat.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is secure and should not allow any gaps to entrap their legs or heads. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Every year, a lot of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The most common cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams can topple when you hang your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and falls into or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling off the pram or stroller. If a baby is not properly secured the pram, they may fall out of the pram and suffer head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into the proper position.

A few good prams also come with an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from the sun in any direction. This is a great feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram or when you are going in and out of shops. There are other features that can be useful, like an eating tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also a shopping basket underneath the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram if you are not in sight. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep, which can cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and can lead to suffocation or strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not an alternative to a crib. It should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

Most prams require you to take them apart in order to put them in the boot of your car so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the process before you purchase one. Also, check how it is simple to put the different sections back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram should be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through numerous car journeys, so you need to ensure that your choice can fulfill the tasks you require it to. It is also important for your foldable stroller to have an image or color that won't date quickly so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of style.

The most reliable prams are made of high-quality materials, and are designed to last. You should look for durable fabrics with sturdy tires, as well as a well-designed system of suspension. The top prams have a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or boot when not being used.

All the prams in this list allow infants 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 are designed to adapt to your child's needs with some featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked on and off the frame at a time when your child is no longer using it.
