What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or sling, is the primary method of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for babies to 3 years old. The reversible handle lets you to tilt the seat so that your child can face either you or the world around them.

Comfort

If you're out and about with your baby, you want to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your little one doesn't feel a thing.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide allow your baby to lay flat, which is essential for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen levels and helps support their growing hips and spine. They also have a seat that can be changed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that offers a cocoon-like feeling for your baby. It is smooth and has curved lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into a flat position however, it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than the majority of prams available at less than 8kg but has a sturdy chassis and grained leather detailing and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof, and can take on more rural settings.

The Minu V2 is a great option when you're looking for a model with a similar design but for a lesser price. The swish-looking one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as the other prams we tested but it does have a large storage basket and extended hood with UPF50+ protection to keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're a first-time parent, we'd recommend considering the travel system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that attach to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to transfer their baby from the car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette, or a lie-flat 'pramette' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco iSize car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps that could trap their heads or legs. The straps should be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are not damaged and show signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the main cause of these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

Another common cause of injury is falling from the pram or babiie stroller. If a baby's harness isn't secured correctly it can 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 clicked into the proper position.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from sun in both directions. This is a handy feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram or while you are going in and out of shops. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and the handlebar locks into position when you're not using it.

It is not advisable to let a child sleep in their pram unless you are in their sight at all times. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping and this can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as an alternative to a cot. It should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

Most prams require you to dismantle them to fit them into the car's boot so it's recommended to familiarize yourself with this procedure before purchasing one. Find out how easy it will be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and many car journeys, which is why you must ensure your choice is able to perform the task you want it to. You should ensure that your stroller is in a color or pattern that will not date easily so that you don't appear as if you've slipped out of style.

The best prams are made with high-quality materials. They have been designed to last, so you should look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The best prams will also have a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not being used.

All the prams on this list allow babies to lay flat, which is vital for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their spine and hips. Many of these prams are designed to expand with your child. Some come with a carrycot or a reclined chair that can be snapped on and off when your child is outgrowing them.

If you are purchasing a pram for the very first time, a travel system that has a carrycot and a car seat could be a good idea. Our test-driver for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month-old son. It has a nifty feature that allows you to raise and lower your child at the push of a button, so you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close which she said was really important for her son as he was in an exploratory stage.

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

Style

Newborns should lie flat as much as they can in order to promote development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs, which is why it is essential that all prams allow this. Some models provide a flat position using a fully reclineable carrycot while others feature the seat that can recline to an unflat position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for the latter as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old child. She loved the ability to raise or lower her child by pressing the button to keep him in sight, while still maintaining eye contact and proximity.

It's a great choice for those that want to get around town without hassle since the frame is a good size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres let you move it off the road and on to rough terrain. It's a great choice if you plan to have another child in the future because it can easily be converted from a single pushchair a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that is both stylish and comfortable. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat, if you buy it separately. You can fold it with the carrycot in place - something that not all prams can do and is an efficient and easy feature.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are all the features you'd expect to find on a high-end pram however, its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on any terrain. This is a great choice if you live in the city and must navigate narrow streets or congested walkways regularly. Although it's not inexpensive but the quality and versatility of this model make it possible to save you money in the end by eliminating the need to purchase a separate pushchair for toddlers. It's available in a broad range of colors, and you can choose one that suits your personal style.
