What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the most popular method of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and design to make walking enjoyable for the whole 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 around with your baby, you need to be sure they're comfortable. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure that your baby does not feel anything.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is important for infants as lying flat improves oxygen levels and supports their developing hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position once your baby is able to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It features smooth, curving lines and a bucket-shaped seat which doesn't recline into an upright position however, it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also lighter than most prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. However, it is sturdy and has finely textured leather and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

If you want something less expensive but still with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also comes with an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're new to parenting We suggest that you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that are attached to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their child from the car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

A pram should have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to entrap their heads or legs. The straps must be cushioned, and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also check the harness buckles to ensure they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised every year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. The main reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over when you hang bags to the handles or if the child is wriggling and falls out or in the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby isn't securely fastened in the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. This is why it is important to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always secured.

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

You should never let a child sleep in their stroller unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies are susceptible to wiggle while asleep and can cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram is not a substitute for the cot. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

It is necessary to take apart most prams in order to put them in the trunk of your car. This process must be mastered before you buy one. Check how easy it will be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram should be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes surviving the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, which is why you must ensure your choice can perform the task you want it to. You also want your pram to come in a print or colour that isn't prone to fading quickly so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of style.

The best prams are made from high-quality materials and are built to last. So, look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels and an efficient suspension system. The most reliable prams have a compact pushchair fold, so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not when not in use.

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lay flat, which is vital for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their spine and hips. Some are made to grow with your child, with some of them having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be moved off and on the frame when your little one outgrows it.

If you are purchasing a pram for the first time, a travel system that comes with an infant carrycot and car seats could be worth a look. Our test-driver for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a handy feature that can raise or lower your baby at the touch of a button so you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close which she claimed was important to her since the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

Another alternative is another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pushchair that converts from a single pushchair to double pushchair and has 30 possible configurations. It also comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy and puncture-proof tyres. It's not expensive however, you can use it for more than one child if you need to. Similar to our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot can be used from the moment of birth.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie as flat as possible. This will aid in their development and improve oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using a carrycot that is completely reclined, while others have a seat which can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature and is fantastic at that as our tester for parents Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son who was 10 months old. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her little one with the press of a button, keeping him in sight and still maintain eye contact and a closeness.

This frame is perfect for city trips and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off the road or on rough terrain. It's also a smart choice if you're planning on having another child in future because it easily converts from a single pram to a double or twin pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It is suitable for newborns since it comes with a carrycot that can lie flat and it's compatible with a car seat when purchased separately. It can be folded with the carrycot still in place It's something that not all prams offer. This reduces time and makes it easier to use.

The pram's luxurious fabric as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are all features you would expect to see on a high-end model however, the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver around different terrains. This is a great option if you live in the city and must navigate narrow streets or crowded pathways regularly. It's not cheap, but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of a separate stroller for toddlers. It's available in a broad variety of colors, too, so you can choose one that suits your personal style.
