What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or pushchair) is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram is a combination of comfort, safety and design that makes walking fun for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for newborns and 3-year-old children. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and around with a baby, you'll want to ensure that they're safe. There are prams that ensure your baby doesn't feel anything.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide all allow your baby to lie flat, which is crucial for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat increases oxygen saturation and supports their developing spine and hips. They also have a seat that can be converted to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

For a luxurious feel it's the Venicci egg2 has a cosy feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but it does have a padded liner and mattress. It's also lighter than other prams available at less than 8kg but has solid chassis and grained leather accents and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can be used in more rural environments.

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

If you're a first-time parent We suggest that you look into a travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that can be attached to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their baby from their car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that can be converted easily 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 ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps to trap their legs or head. The straps should be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. It is also important to check the harness buckles to ensure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Each year, many children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. Tipping over is the most common cause of these injuries. 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 out or in the seat before the harness is tightened.

A common cause of injury involves falling off a pram or stroller. If a baby's harness isn't secured correctly, it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the harness buckle is always locked in place.

Some prams with good quality also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from the sun in either direction. This feature is beneficial because you won't have to wake your baby when you change their position in the stroller, or when you enter and out of shops. There are other features that could be useful, like a snack tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There's also a shopping basket underneath the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them within sight. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this may cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A stroller newborn or pram is not a substitute for a cot and should be used only for short periods during the day.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to fit them into the trunk of your car. This process is something you should know before you purchase a pram. Also check how easy it is to get the different parts back together before putting them into place.

Durability

A pram should be able to endure a long time of wear. You should ensure that your stroller can withstand muddy walks and Infant Carriages also multiple car trips. Also, you want your stroller to have the form of a color or print that won't date quickly so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of style.

The best prams will be constructed of top-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable fabrics with sturdy tires, as well as a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams will also have a compact fold, so they are easy to store in your garage or the boot when not being used.

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lay 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 are designed to grow with your child's. Some have a carrycot or a reclined seat that can be snapped on and off as your child grows.

It's not cheap, but you could use it for more than one child if needed and, just like the iCandy Orange 3 in one pushchair, can be used from birth using the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns must lie flat as much as possible to aid development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams permit this. Some models allow a completely flat position using a fully reclineable carrycot, while others have seats that recline to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for both, as our parent facing pram tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old child. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her baby by pressing a button to keep him in the same position while maintaining eye contact and proximity.
