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 good pram combines safety, comfort, and style to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for children from newborns to 3 years old. Its reversible handle allows you to rotate the seat so your child can either face you or the world around them.

Comfort

Your baby should feel comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your little one does not feel anything.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide all allow your baby to lay flat, which is important for newborn babies as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and helps support their growing spine and hips. They also have seats that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram that offers a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It features smooth, 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 lighter than most prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. However, it has a sturdy chassis with grained leather details and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great option to consider if you're looking to buy something with a similar design but at a price that is lower. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also has an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and protected.

If you're the first parent of your child we recommend a travel system bundle which includes a pram and car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby out of the car to the pram without disturbing them and is ideal for parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical travel stroller system pram that converts easily from a'pramette' that lies flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to entrap their legs or head. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. Check the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised every year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over when you strap your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and falls in or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a child is not securely fastened in the pram, they could fall out of the pram sale and suffer neck or head injuries. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the proper position.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in either direction. This feature is useful because you won't have to wake your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you enter and out of stores. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat, and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you are not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being within sight. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep, which can cause them to fall off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A pram or stroller is not a substitute for a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the day.

The majority of prams require you dismantle them to fit them into the car's boot so it's an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with this procedure before purchasing one. Also, check how it is simple to put the various sections back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to endure a long time of wear. This includes surviving the mud-filled walks and numerous car journeys, so you need to ensure that your choice is able to fulfill the tasks you require it to. You also want your pram to come in the form of a color or print that isn't prone to fading quickly so that you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.

The best prams will be constructed of top-quality materials and are designed to last. Look for durable materials as well as sturdy tires and an efficient suspension system. The most effective prams are small and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or even the boot.

All the prams on this list allow the baby to lay on their backs. This is important for newborns, because it aids in the development of their hips and spine and improves oxygenation levels. Many are designed to adapt to your child's needs with some having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be clicked off and on the frame for when your child is no longer using it.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you may also be interested in a travel set that is a complete bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. Our parent tester Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a handy feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button, so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she said was really important to her since he was at an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that converts from a single pushchair to double pram and pushchair pushchair and has 30 different configurations, and comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy and puncture-proof tyres. It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child if needed and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to 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 important that all prams allow this. Some models allow for an entirely flat position using a carrycot that is fully reclinable, while others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature and is fantastic at what it does as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her son of 10 months. She was thrilled that she could raise or lower her baby at the touch of a button, keeping him in the view of others, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

It's a great pram for those that want to get around town with ease as the frame is an ideal size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres allow you to remove it from the road and onto 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 double or twin pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's ideal for babies because it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. It can be folded while the carrycot still in place This is an option that not all prams have. This saves time and makes it simpler to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres are the kinds of things you'd expect on a pram of the highest quality and its sleek design makes it easy to handle on any terrain. This is an excellent choice when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets and crowded walkways frequently. While it's not cheap however, the durability and quality of this pram will save you money over the long term by not having to buy a separate pushchair for toddlers. You can choose from a range of colors to match your personal style.
