What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or a Sling, is the most popular form of transport for babies and toddlers. A good pram combines comfort, safety and style to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

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 about with a baby, you need to ensure they're secure. There are prams to ensure that your baby isn't shivering any discomfort.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all allow your baby to lie flat, which is crucial for infants as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and assists in the development of their spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is able to sit up.

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

If you're looking for something less expensive but with a similar design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The swish-looking, one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as some of the other prams we tried 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 new parent, we'd recommend considering a travel stroller system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to transfer their baby from the car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette, or a lie-flat 'pramette' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It should also have no gaps where their legs or heads can get trapped. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the primary cause of these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can fall over if you hang bags onto the handles, or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby's harness is not fastened properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the correct position.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in any direction. This feature is beneficial because you don't have to wake your baby every time you change their position in the stroller or when you enter stores and out. There are other features that are useful, such as an eating tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

You should never leave a child sleeping in their pram unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping, which could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for brief periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to place them in the trunk of your car. This process is something you should know before you purchase one. Also, consider how it is easy to put the various sections back together and then click them in place.

Durability

A pram should be able to last through several years of wear and tear. You want to make sure that your pram can handle slippery walks and also multiple car trips. You also want your pram to come in an image or color that doesn't get outdated so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of style.

The best prams are constructed of top-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and an effective suspension system. The most effective prams are small and fold easily, so you can store them in your garage or boot.

All prams on this list allow a baby to lay flat, which is essential for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their spine and hips. A lot of them are designed to grow with your child with some having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be moved off and back on the frame at a time when your child is no longer using it.

If you are considering buying a pram for the very first time it is recommended to consider a system that includes both a carrycot and a car seat may be of interest. Our test-driver for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month old son. It comes with a handy feature that allows you to raise and lower your child at the push of a button so you can keep eye contact and keep them close which she said was really important to her since the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be transformed from a single pushchair a double with 30 different configurations. It also has a sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap but you could use it for more than one child if needed and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns need to lie flat as much as they can to help develop and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs. Therefore, it is essential that all prams support this. Some models allow a completely flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot, while others have the seat that can recline to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for both as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her child who was 10 months old. She loved the fact that she could raise and lower her baby at the press of a button, keeping him in the view of others, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is ideal to take a stroll around town, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off the road or on rough terrain. It's also a good choice if you're planning on having a second child in the future because it easily converts from a single pram into a double or twin pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It is suitable for newborns as it comes with a carrycot that can be folded flat and is compatible with car seats when purchased separately. You can fold it with the carrycot in place and it's something that not all prams can do and is an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect to find on a high-end model, but the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver around various terrains. It's also an ideal choice when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks regularly. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and quality could save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of a separate stroller for toddlers. It's available in a broad variety of colors, as well, so you can choose one that fits your personal style.
