What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and style to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for children from newborns to 3 years old. Its reversible handle allows you to turn the seat so that your child can look at either you or the world around them.

Comfort

You want your baby to be at ease when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your child doesn't feel a thing.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is important for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen levels and helps support their growing spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your baby is able to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram that has a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It is smooth and has curvaceous lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which doesn't recline into flat however, it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also a little lighter than other prams, weighing less than 8kg but has a 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 still with the same design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as lightweight as other strollers, but it does have a large storage basket. It also comes with an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe 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 to transfer your child from the car into the pram without waking them and is ideal for parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram for travel that can be converted easily from a lie-flat 'pramette into a toddler-friendly pushchair, compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should come with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also have no gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. You should also inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a large number of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. 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 or squirming and falls into or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another common cause of injuries 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 head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is locked into place.

A few good prams also come with a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from sun in any direction. This is a useful feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby up when you are changing their position in the pram, or when you go into and out of shops. There are other features that are useful, for example snacks for your child or toddler and drink holders. There's also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Do not leave a baby asleep in a pram without being within sight. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this may cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and cause suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram is not a substitute for a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you dismantle them to fit them into the trunk of your car so it's an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with this process before purchasing one. Also, consider how it is easy to put the different parts back together before putting them into place.

Durability

A pram must be durable enough to withstand many years of wear and tear. This includes the need to endure walking in the rain and many car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice can perform the task you want it to. You should ensure that your pram is in the right color or design that isn't prone to fading so that you don't appear as if you've slipped out of fashion.

The best travel stroller prams are made from high-quality materials and have been designed to last. So, look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The best prams will also feature a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or the boot when not when not in use.

All the prams in this list allow babies to lay on their backs. This is crucial for infants because it allows them to develop their hips and spine and boosts oxygen levels. A lot of them are designed to adapt to your child's needs with some featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and back on the frame for when your little one outgrows it.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you may also be interested in a travel system which is a package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. Our tester for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month old son. It comes with an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your child with the touch of a single button. This lets you maintain eye contact with the baby and keep them in close proximity.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be converted from a single pushchair a double pram with 30 different configurations. It also comes with the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap prams 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 thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lay as flat as possible. This will aid in their development and boost oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models provide a flat position using a fully reclineable carrycot, while others have a seat that reclines to a flat position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter and it's brilliant at that as our tester for parents Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son of 10 months. She loved the fact that she could raise or lower her baby at the push of a button to keep him in view and still maintain eye contact and closeness.

The frame is ideal to take a stroll around town, and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a great option if you're thinking of having a second child in the future since it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a twin or double pushchair.

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

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are all the features you'd expect to see on a premium pram however, its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on a variety of terrains. This is an excellent choice when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded pathways frequently. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and quality can save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of an additional stroller for your toddler. You can choose from a range of colors to suit your preferences.
