What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a stroller, pushchair or Sling, is the main mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and style to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby stroller compact is a great pram for newborns to 3-year-old children. The reversible handle lets you to turn the seat so that your child can look at either you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and about with a baby, you want to be sure they're comfortable. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your child isn't apprehensive.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide all allow your baby to lie flat, which is crucial for infants as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and helps support their growing spine and hips. They also come with seats which can be transformed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a luxurious feel it's the Venicci egg2 offers a cozy 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 liner and mattress. It's also lighter than the majority of prams, weighing under 8kg but still has a sturdy chassis and grained leather detailing, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can be used in more rural environments.

The Minu V2 is a great choice to consider if you're looking to buy something with a similar design but at a lower price. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams but it does have a huge storage basket. It also comes with an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a new parent we recommend a travel system bundle which includes a pram as well as a car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This will make it easier to get your baby out of the car into the pram without waking them and is perfect for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette,' or lie-flat 'pramette,' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is secure and should not allow any gaps to entrap their heads or legs. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. You should also examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year because of injuries caused by strollers or prams. Tipping over is the most common cause of these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over if you hook your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling or squirming and falls into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

A common cause of injury is falling from a foldable pram, or stroller. If a child is not securely secured in, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is important to make sure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from the sun in any direction. This is a handy feature since you will not be having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram or while you are going into and out of shops. Other useful features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat, and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you're not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being within sight. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping and this could cause them to fall out of the stroller or pram. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram should not be used as a substitute for the cot. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to put them into the boot of your vehicle. This process should be familiarised with before you purchase a pram. Also, check how it is easy to put the different sections back together and click them in place.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to withstand many years of wear and tear. You should ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle the mud of a walk, as well as multiple car trips. You should ensure that your stroller is in a color or pattern that will not date easily so that you don't appear like you've lost fashion.

The best prams are constructed of top-quality materials and are designed to last. Look for durable materials with sturdy tires, as well as a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily so that you can put them in your garage or even the boot.

All the prams in this list allow the baby to lie flat. This is important for newborns, because it aids in the development of their hips and spine and improves oxygenation levels. Many are designed to adapt to your child's needs with some having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be moved off and on the frame at a time when your child is no longer using it.

If you are purchasing an infant stroller for the first time, a travel system that includes both an infant carrycot and car seats could be a good idea. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a clever feature that raises and lowers your baby at the touch of a button so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close, which she said was really important to her as 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 kids Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be converted from a single pushchair to double in 30 different configurations. It also has the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap, but you can use it for more than one child if needed and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie as flat as they can. This will help with their development and improve oxygen levels in the lung. Some models permit an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclined, whereas others have a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old daughter. She loved the ability to raise or lower her infant with a push of an button, keeping him in sight and still maintain the eye contact and closeness.

This frame is perfect to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's a great choice when you are planning to have another child in the future since it can be converted from a single pushchair to a twin or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with car seats in the event that you purchase it separately. You can even fold it with the carrycot in place and it's something that isn't the case with all prams which is why it's an efficient and easy feature.

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres are the kind of things you'd expect on a pram of the highest quality and its sleek design makes it easy to handle on a variety of terrains. It's also a great choice for those who live in a city and Good Prams have to navigate narrow streets or busy sidewalks frequently. It's not cheap, but its versatility and quality could save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for a separate toddler stroller. You can pick from a wide range of colors to match your style.
