What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the main form of transport for babies and toddlers. A quality pram is a combination of safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for newborns and 3-year-old children. The adjustable handle can be turned around to allow you to turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and around with your baby, you'll want to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your child isn't apprehensive.

All prams featured in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is important for newborns as it improves oxygenation and supports their hips and spine. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is able to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that has a cocoon-like feeling for your baby. It is smooth and has curvaceous lines and a bucket-shaped seat which does not recline into flat however it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, weighing under 8kg. But it is sturdy and has the grained leather accents and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you want something more affordable, but with a similar design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option.

This will make it easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without waking them and is ideal for busy parents on the go. 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 toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize pushchairs car seats seats.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It must also be free of gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are 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 main reason for these injuries. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you hook bags to the handles or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

A common cause of injury involves falling from a pram or stroller. If a child's harness isn't secured correctly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into place.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in either direction. This is a great feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram or when you are going into and out of shops. There are other features that can be useful, for example an eating tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. You can also find an extra shopping basket under the seat.

You should never leave a sleeping child in their pram unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies are susceptible to wiggle during sleep and this could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as a substitute for the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the daytime.

It is essential to disassemble most prams in order to put them into the boot of your vehicle. This procedure should be familiarised with before you buy one. Also, check how it is simple to put the different sections back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram must be able to last through several years of wear and tear. This includes surviving the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, which is why you must ensure your choice will perform the task you want it to. It is important to ensure that your pram is a color or pattern that will not date easily so that you don't appear as if you've slipped out of style.

The top prams for newborns are constructed from high-quality materials and have been designed to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an effective suspension system. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily, so you can store them in your garage or even the boot.

All the prams on this list allow your baby to lay on their backs. This is crucial for babies, because it allows them to develop their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. Many of these prams are designed to expand with your child. Some have carrycots, or a reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on when your child is outgrowing them.

If you are purchasing a pram for the very first time, a travel system that has a carrycot and car seats could be of interest. Our test-driver for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me system that 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 keep eye contact and keep them close which she claimed was important to her since the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

Another alternative is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be transformed from a single pushchair a double with 30 different configurations. It also comes with sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not inexpensive however, you can use it for more than one child if you need to. Like our top pick model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot, it can be used right from birth.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie flat as they can. This will aid in their development and boost oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using a carrycot that is completely reclined, while others have a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

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