What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a pushchair or stroller) is the main form of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and design to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns up to 3 year old kids. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your baby to feel comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams to ensure your baby doesn't feel anything.

All prams featured in this guide let your baby lie flat. This is crucial for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to an upright position once your child is able to sit up.

For a truly luxurious feel this Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seats that does not recline to a lying-flat position, but has an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams available at under 8kg but still has a sturdy chassis and grained leather detailing, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof, and can handle more rugged terrains.

The Minu V2 is a great choice if you're looking for something with a similar look but for a lesser price. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as light as other prams but it does have a large storage basket. It also comes with an extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're the first parent of your child, we'd recommend considering the travel system bundle that includes a pram and a car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to transfer your child from the car into the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is an elegant and practical pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco iSize car seat.

Safety

The pram should come with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It must also be free of gaps between their head and legs that are likely to get caught. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. It is also important to check the harness buckles to ensure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by prams and strollers. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over when you strap bags to the handles or if the child is wriggling and gets in or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

Another common cause of injury is falling from the stroller or pram. If a child's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. It is therefore essential to make sure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the correct position.

Some prams come with an adjustable shade that can be used to protect your baby in any direction from the sun. This is a handy feature because it will prevent having to wake your child awake while you change their position in the pram or when you go to and from the shops. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket underneath the seat, and the handlebar can be locked into place when you're not using it.

You should never leave a child sleeping in their stroller unless they are within sight of them at all times. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep, which can cause them to slide off the pram or stroller and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram is not a substitute for the cot. It should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you take them apart in order to fit them into the boot of your car so it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this process before you purchase one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the different sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to endure many years of wear and tear. This includes the need to endure muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, which is why you must ensure your choice is able to perform the task you want it to. Also, you want your stroller to have a print or colour that won't date quickly so that you don't end up looking like you've gone out of style.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and have been designed to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The most reliable prams have a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or the boot when not being used.

All prams on this list allow infants to lay flat, which is vital for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their hips and spine. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some come with a carrycot or a fully-reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on as your child grows.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you may also be looking for a travel system which is an all-in-one package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system which our parent facing pram tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a clever feature that raises and lowers your child at the push of a button so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she claimed was important to her as he was at an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that can be converted from a single pushchair to double pushchair, with 30 different configurations, and comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child in the event of need and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as they can. This will aid in their development and improve oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models provide a flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycots, while others have seats that recline to a flat position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for this, 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 child with a push of the button to keep him in the same position, while still maintaining eye contact and proximity.

It's a great choice for those that want to get around town easily as the frame is an ideal size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to remove it from the road and into rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having a second child in the future since it is able to convert from a single pram newborn to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels luxurious. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. You can fold it using the carrycot as a stand which is something not all prams can do and is an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are all features you would expect to see on a premium model However, the sleek frame makes it easy for you to maneuver on various terrains. It's also a great choice for those who live in a large city and must navigate narrow streets or busy sidewalks 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 toddler stroller. It's available in a broad range of colors, too, so you can choose one that suits your personal style.
