What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or pushchair) is the most popular form of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram is a combination of comfort, safety and design that makes walking fun for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller for children from newborns to three years old. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your baby to be comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure that your baby isn't apprehensive.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is essential for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and supports their developing hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up.

For a luxurious feel this Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but it does have a padded liner and mattress. It's also lighter than most prams for sale, weighing under 8kg. But it is sturdy and has grained leather details and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

If you want something more affordable, but with a similar style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The stylish one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as the other prams we tried but it has an impressively large storage basket, as well as an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you are a first-time parent, we recommend you consider the travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that can be attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without waking them and is ideal for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette, into a stroller that is toddler stroller-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five point safety harness to keep your baby safe and free of any gaps to entrap their legs or heads. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. Also, you should examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised each year because of pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the primary reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you hang bags to the handles or if a child is wriggling and falls into 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's harness is not secured properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into the correct position.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from the sun in both directions. This feature is helpful because you won't have to wake your baby every time you change their position in the stroller, or when you enter and out of stores. There are also other features that can be useful, for example a snack tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. You can also find a shopping basket underneath the seat.

You should never let a child sleep in their pram unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this may cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

It is essential to disassemble most prams in order to put them into the boot of your vehicle. This process should be familiarised with before you purchase one. Also, check how it is easy to put the various sections back together before putting them in place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, which is why you need to ensure that your choice will perform the task you want it to. Also, you want your stroller to have an image or color that won't date quickly so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are built to last. So, look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels, and an effective suspension system. The best travel pushchair prams are compact and fold easily, allowing you to store them in your garage or the boot of your car seat pram.

All the prams on this list allow infants to lay flat, which is vital for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their hips and spine. Many are designed to grow with your child and some having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be moved on and off the frame for when your little one outgrows it.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you might 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 was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a clever feature that allows you to raise and lower your baby at the touch of a button so you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close, which she said was really important to her since he was at an exploratory stage.

Another option is another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that converts from a single pushchair to a double pram pushchair with 30 possible configurations and features luxe fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proof tyres. It's not expensive, but you can use it with multiple children if necessary. And like our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot can be used from the moment of birth.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as often as they can to help develop and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, so it's essential that all prams permit this. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using a carrycot that is completely reclined, while others have a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for both as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old child. She was thrilled that she could raise and lower her child with the touch of a button and keep him in view while maintaining eye contact and closeness.

The frame is perfect for nipping around town and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off the 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 is able to convert from a single pram into a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that is both stylish and comfortable. It's ideal for infants as it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with car seats in the event that you purchase it separately. It can be folded by putting the carrycot in place and it's something that isn't the case with all prams which is why it's an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are features you'd expect to find on a high-end model However, the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver around different terrains. This is an excellent choice if you live in the city and must navigate narrow streets and crowded pathways on a regular basis. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and quality can save you money over time by avoiding the need for an additional stroller for your toddler. It's available in a broad variety of colors, too, so you can pick one that fits your personal style.
