What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the main method of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram is a blend of safety, comfort and design that makes walking fun for all the family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller for children from newborns to three years old. The reversible handle lets you to turn the seat so that your child can either face you or the world around them.

Comfort

You want your baby to feel comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your little one isn't apprehensive.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lie flat. This is essential for newborns since it improves oxygenation and helps support their spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

For a really high-end experience it's the Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seats that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but has an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than the majority of prams available at less than 8kg but has an extremely sturdy chassis and grained leather accents as well as tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof, and can be used in more rural environments.

If you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly but with a similar design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as some of the other prams we tested however it comes with a large storage basket, as well as an extended hood with UPF50+ protection that'll keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent We suggest you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This will make it much 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 is a great example of a stylish and functional travel system pram that converts easily from a'pramette' lying flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also not have any gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. The straps must be cushioned, and easily adjustable as your child grows. It is also important to check the harness buckles to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised each year because of injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a wriggling child gets into or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not secured properly it can cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into place.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from the sun in both directions. This is a handy feature because it will prevent having to wake your child awake while you change their position in the pram or while you are going to and from the 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're not using it.

You should never leave a sleeping child in their stroller unless you are in their sight at all times. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and could cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not an alternative to a cot. It should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you take them apart in order to put them in the car's boot so it is an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with this procedure before purchasing one. Also check how easy it is to get the various sections back together and click them in place.

Durability

A pram must be able endure a long time of wear. You want to make sure that your pram can handle the mud of a walk as well as a variety of car trips. You also want your pram to come in an image or color that doesn't get outdated to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.

The most effective prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They are built to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an effective suspension system. The most reliable prams feature a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not in use.

All prams on this list allow babies to lie flat, which is crucial for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their hips and spine. Some are made to grow with your child and some having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be moved off and back on the frame at a time when your little one outgrows it.

If you are purchasing an infant stroller for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that includes both the carrycot as well as a car seat may be of interest. We love the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a handy feature that can raise or lower your child at the push of a button, so you can keep 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 in one pushchair is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two kids Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that can be converted from a single to double foldable pushchair, with 30 possible configurations and features luxe fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proof tyres. It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child, if you need to and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns should lay flat as often as they can in order to promote development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams support this. Some models permit an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclinable, while others have a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter and it's brilliant in this regard as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her 10-month-old son. She loved that she could raise or lower her infant with a push of an button, keeping him in the same position, while still maintaining closeness and eye contact.

It's a great pram for those who want to travel around town easily as the frame is a good size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres allow you to take it off road and onto rough terrain. It's also a smart choice if you're planning on having a second child in the future since it can easily be converted from a single pram into a double or twin pushchair twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's ideal for babies because it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat when you purchase it separately. It can be folded while the carrycot still in place This is a feature that not all prams provide. This reduces time and makes it more convenient to use.

The pram's luxurious fabric large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are features you'd expect on a high-end model, but the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver over different terrains. It's also an ideal choice if you live in a large city and have to navigate narrow streets or busy sidewalks frequently.
