What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the main form of transport for infants and toddlers. A great pram and travel system is a combination of safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns to 3-year-old kids. The reversible handle lets you to tilt the seat so your child can face you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and about with your baby, you'll want to be sure they're comfortable. There are prams that ensure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is crucial for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen levels and assists in the development of their hips and spine. They also come with a seat that can be converted to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a luxurious experience this Venicci egg2 has a cosy feeling of a cocoon for your baby with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position but does have an upholstered liner and mattress. It's also lighter than many prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with grained leather details and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great option if you're looking for something with a similar look but at a lower price. The stylish, one-hand steer model isn't as light than some of the other prams we tested but it does have a large storage basket and the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection that'll keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent we recommend a travel system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to move their child from the car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful pram that can convert easily from a'pramette' that lies flat into a toddler-friendly pushchair, compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram should have a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps that could trap their legs or heads. The straps should be padded 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. Every year, a lot of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The primary reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you hook bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being properly secured.

Another reason for injuries is falling from the stroller or pram. If a child is not properly secured, they could fall out of the pram 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 canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from the sun in both directions. This is a handy feature since you will not be having to wake your child up when you are changing their position in the pram or while you are going in and out of shops. Other useful features include a snack tray and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and a handlebar that locks in place when you're not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram without being in sight. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram should not be used as an alternative to a crib. It should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you disassemble them in order to fit them into the boot of your car so it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the process before you purchase one. Also check how it is simple to put the different sections back together before putting them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be durable enough to endure many years of wear and tear. This includes having to deal with the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, so you must ensure your choice is able to do the job you need it to. It is important to ensure that your pram is a color or pattern that won't fade easily so that you don't appear like you've fallen out of fashion.

The best prams are made of high-quality materials, and designed to last. You should look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and an efficient suspension system. The most effective prams are small and fold easily, so you can store them in your garage or the boot of your car.

All prams on this list allow a baby to lay flat, which is essential for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their hips and spine. A lot of these prams are designed to grow along with your child's. Some have a carrycot or a reclined seat that can be snapped on and off as your child grows.

If you're looking to purchase a brand new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a travel system that is a complete package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. Our parent tester Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a handy feature that allows you to raise and lower your baby at the touch of a button. This way you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close, which she claimed was important for her son as he was at an exploratory stage.

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

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as much as possible to aid development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs, which is why it is essential that all prams permit this. Some models permit a completely flat position by using a carrycot that can be fully reclinable, while others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for the latter as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her child who was 10 months old. She loved the ability to raise or lower her infant at the touch of an button, keeping him in sight while maintaining the eye contact and closeness.

The frame is ideal for city trips and the puncture-proof wheels permit you to drive it off road or on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice when you are planning to have another child in the near future since it can be transformed from a single pushchair into a twin or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It is suitable for newborns as it comes with a carrycot that can lie flat and it's compatible with car seats when purchased separately. You can even fold it using the carrycot as a stand which is something isn't the case with all prams, so it's an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are all features you would expect to see on a premium model however, the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver around diverse terrains. This is a great choice for those who live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or congested walkways frequently. It's not cheap, but its versatility and quality could save you money in the long run by avoiding the purchase of a separate toddler stroller. It's available in an extensive selection of colors and you can pick one that matches your personal style.
