What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the main form of transport for babies and toddlers. A quality pram combines comfort, safety and design that makes walking fun for all the family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for infants to 3 years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and around with your baby, you need to ensure they're secure. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your little one does not feel anything.

All the prams in this guide allow your baby to lay flat. This is crucial for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their hips and spine. They also have a seat that can be converted to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit.

For a luxurious experience this Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon feel for your newborn with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but has padding on the mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it has a sturdy chassis with the grained leather accents and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

If you want something more budget-friendly but with the same design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as light as some of the other prams we tried but it has an impressively large storage basket and extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're new to parenting We suggest that you consider the travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that are attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby from the car to the pram without waking them and is ideal for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is an elegant and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and secure. It should not have any gaps that could trap their legs or heads. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not cracked and have signs of wear. Every year, a large number of children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by prams or strollers. Tipping over is the most common cause of these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you hang bags to the handles or if the child is wriggling and falls into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

Another reason for injury is falling off the pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not secured properly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always clicked into place.

Some good prams (recommended) also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in any direction. This is a useful feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram, or when you are into and out of shops. There are also other features that can be useful, like a snack tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also a shopping basket underneath the seat.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram if you are not in sight. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep, which can cause them to fall off the pram or stroller and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a cot and should only be used for short periods during the day.

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 procedure before you purchase one. Check how easy it will be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram for newborn 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, so you want to be sure your choice can perform the task you want 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 as if you've slipped out of style.

The top prams are constructed of high-quality materials and are designed to last. So, look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The most reliable prams have a compact fold, so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not being used.

All prams on this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is crucial for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their hips and spine. Many of these prams have been designed to expand with your child's. Some have carrycots, or a fully-reclined chair that can be snapped on and off when your child outgrows them.

If you are considering buying a pram for the very first time, a travel system that comes with a carrycot and a car seat could be a good idea. We love the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your child by pressing a single button. This lets you maintain eye contact with your child and keep them close.

Another alternative is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that converts 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 could use it for more than one child in the event of need and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns should lay flat as much as possible to aid development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams support this. Some models allow an entirely flat position using the carrycot which is completely reclined, while others have a seat which reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for the latter, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old child. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her infant with a push of an button, keeping him in view and still maintain closeness and eye contact.

The frame is ideal for city trips and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future since it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a double or twin pushchair.

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

The pram's luxurious fabrics large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect on a high-end model however, the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver over diverse terrains. This is a great option when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or congested paths frequently. Although it's not inexpensive but the quality and versatility of this pram make it possible to save you money over the long term by eliminating the need to buy a separate pushchair for toddlers. You can pick from a wide range of colors to match your style.
