What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or pushchair) is the main form of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of safety, comfort and design to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a wonderful pram for newborns up to 3 year old children. Its reversible handle allows you to tilt the seat so that your child can look at you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and about with your baby, you need to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure that your baby doesn't feel a thing.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all allow your baby to lie flat, which is crucial for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen saturation and assists in the development of their spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to an upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It features smooth, curvaceous lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into a flat position however it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also lighter than many prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it has a sturdy chassis with finely textured leather and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly but with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The stylish one-hand steer model isn't as light as some of the other prams we've tested but it has an impressively large storage basket, as well as an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're new to parenting we suggest you consider a travel system that includes a car seat and pram that can be attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to transfer your child from the car to the pram without waking them and is perfect for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful travel system pram that converts easily from a'pramette' lying flat to a pushchair for toddlers that is 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 to entrap their legs or heads. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not cracked and have signs of wear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year because of pram or stroller-related injuries. The main reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the strongest prams can topple when you strap your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling or squirming and falls into or out of 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 fastened properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the proper position.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from the sun in both directions. This feature is beneficial because you won't have to wake your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you enter stores and out. There are other features that could be useful, such as an eating tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Do not leave a baby asleep in a pram without being in sight. Babies are prone to wiggle during sleep, which can cause them to roll out of the pram or triple stroller. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram should not be used as a substitute for the cot. It should only be used for short periods of time during the day.

The majority of prams require you disassemble them in order to put them in the trunk of your car so it's recommended to familiarize yourself with this procedure before purchasing one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the different parts back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram must be able to last through many years of wear and tear. This includes the need to endure the mud-filled walks and numerous car journeys, so you must ensure your choice will do the job you need it to. It is important to ensure that your stroller is in a color or pattern that isn't prone to fading so that you don't appear like you've fallen out of fashion.

The best prams are made of high-quality materials and are designed to last, so you should look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The most effective prams are small and fold easily, so you can put them in your garage or boot.

All the prams in this list allow babies to lay on their backs. This is important for newborns, because it allows them to develop their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. Some are made to adapt to your child's needs, with some of them having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be moved on and off the frame for when your little one outgrows it.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you might also be interested in a travel system which is an all-in-one bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your baby with the touch of one button. This allows you to keep your eyes on your child and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be transformed from a single pushchair double pram pushchair in 30 different configurations. It also features sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap but you can use it with multiple children if necessary. And like our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included can be used right from birth.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as often as they can to help develop and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, so it's important that all prams permit this. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclined, whereas others have a seat that can recline 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 10-month-old daughter. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her baby at the push of a button, keeping him in sight, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is perfect to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off road or on rough terrain. It's a great option when you are planning to have a child in the future, as it can easily be transformed from a single pushchair into a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that is both stylish and comfortable. It's ideal for babies because it includes a carrycot which can be folded flat and is compatible with car seats if purchased separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place, which is an option that not all prams have. This reduces time and makes it easier to use.

The pram's luxurious fabric, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are features you would expect to see on a premium model however, the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver over different terrains. This is a great option if you live in the city and must navigate narrow streets or crowded pathways regularly. This pram is 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 an extensive selection of colors and you can pick one that suits your personal style.
