What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or pushchair) is the most popular form of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort, and design to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for babies to 3 years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

Your baby should be comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your child doesn't feel a thing.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lie flat. This is crucial for newborns as it improves oxygenation and strengthens their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position once your baby is capable of sitting up.

For a luxurious feel it's the Venicci egg2 has a cosy cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than most prams available at under 8kg but still has an extremely sturdy chassis and grained leather details and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof, and can be used in more rural environments.

The Minu V2 is a great choice if you're looking for something with a similar design but at a lower price. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as light as other prams but it does have a large storage basket. It also comes with an extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and protected.

If you're the first parent of your child, we'd recommend considering a travel system bundle which includes a pram and car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This allows parents to move their child from their car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is an elegant and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette, to a stroller for toddlers compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps that could trap their legs or head. The straps must be cushioned, 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. Every year, a large number of children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by prams or strollers. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the sturdiest 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 done up.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby isn't properly secured the pram, they may fall out of the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is crucial to make sure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from sun in either direction. This is a useful feature since you will not be having to wake your child awake while you change their position in the pram or when you are into and out of shops. There are other features that can be useful, like a snack tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a running pram if you are not in sight. Babies can be prone to wiggle during sleep, which could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to strangulation and suffocation. A pram or stroller is not a substitute for 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 into the boot of your vehicle. This process is something you should know before you buy one. Check how easy it will be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram should be able to endure a long time of wear. You need to ensure that your stroller can withstand slippery walks, as well as multiple car trips. You want to make sure that your pram is the right color or design that will not date easily so that you don't appear as if you've slipped out of style.

The best prams are made of high-quality materials, and are designed to last. Look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams are compact and fold easily, allowing you to put them in your garage or even the boot.

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is essential for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their hips and spine. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some come with a carrycot, or a reclined seat that can be removed and snapped on as your child grows.

If you are purchasing a pram for the first time, a travel system that has an infant carrycot and a car seat could be a good idea. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It has a nifty feature that can raise or lower your child at the push of a button so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close, which she claimed was important to her as he was in an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be converted from a single pushchair to double, with 30 different configurations. It also features a sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap pushchairs but you can use it for more than one child if you need to. And like our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included can be used as early as.

Style

Newborns should lay flat as much as possible to aid development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, so it's important that all prams allow this. Some models provide a flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot, while others have the seat that can recline to an unflat position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for the latter, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old daughter. She was thrilled that she could raise or lower her little one with the press of a button to keep him in the view of others and still maintain eye contact and closeness.

It's a great pram for those who wish to travel around town easily as the frame is a good size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres allow you to remove it from the road and onto rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having another child in 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 is suitable for newborns because it includes a carrycot which can be rolled flat and is compatible with car seats if purchased separately. You can fold it by putting the carrycot in place which is something not all prams can do, so it's a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are all the features you'd expect to see on a high-end pram however, its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver on a variety of terrains. This is a great option for those who live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or congested walkways on a regular basis. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the purchase of a separate toddler babiie stroller. It's available in a broad range of colors, too, so you can choose one that fits your personal style.
