What Makes Good Prams?

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

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic pram for newborns up to 3 year old kids. 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 a baby, you'll want to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your little one doesn't feel a thing.

All the prams in this guide allow your baby lay flat. This is important for newborns since it improves oxygenation and helps support their spine and hips. They also come with seats that can be changed to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a really high-end feel this Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position but does have a padded liner and mattress. It's also lighter than many prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy chassis with finely textured leather and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something a bit more affordable, but with the same design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The stylish one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we've tested but it does have a large storage basket, as well as an extended hood with UPF50+ protection, which will keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a first time parent, we recommend that you look into a travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This will make it easier to transfer your child from the car into the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical pram that can convert easily from a lie-flat 'pramette to a pushchair for toddlers that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It should also not have any gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. Also, you should check the harness buckles to ensure they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year because of pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the primary cause of these injuries. Even the strongest prams could tip over when you hang bags to the handles or if a child is wriggling and gets out or in the seat before the harness is tightened.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not secured properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller, causing neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always clicked into place.

Some prams with good quality also have a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from the sun in either direction. This feature is useful because you don't have to wake up your baby every time you change their position in the stroller or when you enter and out of stores. Other handy features include a snack tray and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and the handlebar can be locked into place when you're not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them in sight. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this may cause them to slide off the pram or stroller and cause suffocation or strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not an alternative to the crib. It should only be used for short periods of time during the day.

The majority of prams require you to disassemble them in order to put them in the car's boot so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with this process before you purchase one. Consider how easy it would be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to endure several years of wear. This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through numerous car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice will fulfill the tasks you require it to. It is also important for your stroller to have an image or color that isn't prone to fading quickly to avoid looking like you've gone out of style.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are built to last. So, look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels and an effective suspension system. The top prams feature a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not when not in use.

All prams on this list allow infants to lie flat, which is essential for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their spine and hips. A lot of them are designed to grow with your child and some featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and on the frame when your child is no longer using it.

If you are purchasing a pram for the very first time it is recommended to consider a system that comes with an infant carrycot and a car seat could be worth a look. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It has a nifty feature that can raise or lower your baby at the touch of a button so you can keep eye contact and keep them close which she claimed was important for her son as he was in 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 luxurious pushchair that can be converted from a single to a double pushchair with 30 possible configurations. It also comes with luxe fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not expensive, but it can be used for more than one child if you need to. And like our winner, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included is a great option to use right from birth.

Style

Newborns must lay flat as often as they can to help develop push chairs and prams increase the oxygen level in their lungs, which is why it is essential that all prams permit this. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclined, whereas others feature a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for both, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her child who was 10 months old. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her baby by pressing an button, keeping him in the same position and still maintain the eye contact and closeness.

It's a great stroller for those who wish to nip around town easily as the frame is an ideal size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres allow you to move it off the road and into rough terrain. It's also a smart choice if you're planning on having another child in future since it is able to convert from a single pram to a double or twin pram pushchair.

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

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres are the kinds of features you'd expect to see on a high-end pram however, its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on any terrain. It's also a great choice for those who live in a large city and have to navigate narrow streets or busy sidewalks frequently. Although it's not cheap but the quality and versatility of this model make it possible to save you money in the long run by not having to purchase a separate toddler pushchair. You can pick from a variety of colors to match your style.
