What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or Sling, is the main method of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking fun for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller travel for children from newborns to three years old. The reversible handle lets you to turn the seat so that your child can either face either you or the world around them.

Comfort

You want your child to be at ease when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your child does not feel anything.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lay flat, which is crucial for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen saturation and helps support their growing hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your baby is able to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram that offers a cocoon-like feeling for your baby. It has smooth, curving lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which does not recline into an upright position, but it does have an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. But it is sturdy and has grained leather details and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something a bit less expensive but still with the same design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we tried however it comes with a large storage basket and the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a new parent we recommend a travel system bundle which includes a pram and a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby pram from the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette, to a stroller for toddlers compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

The pram should come with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It must also be free of gaps in which their heads or legs are likely to get caught. The straps must be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Each year, many children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The primary cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you strap your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling or squirming and falls in or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A common cause of injury is falling off a pram or stroller. If a child's harness isn't secured correctly, it could cause them to fall out of the stroller, causing head or neck injuries. It is therefore essential to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into place.

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

It is not advisable to leave a child sleeping in their pram unless you are in their sight at all times. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep and this can cause them to roll off the pram or stroller and cause 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.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to fit them in the trunk of your car. This procedure is something you should know before you purchase one. Consider how easy it would be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram must be able endure a long time of wear. This includes having to deal with the mud-filled walks and numerous car journeys, so you must ensure your choice is able to fulfill the tasks you require it to. You should ensure that your pram is in a color or pattern that will not date easily so you don't look as if you've slipped out of style.

The best prams are made from high-quality materials and are designed to last, so look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels and an effective suspension system. The top prams feature a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not when not in use.

All the prams in this list allow the baby to lie on their backs. This is crucial for infants as it helps them develop their hips and spine and boosts oxygen levels. Many of these prams have been designed to grow with your child. Some come with carrycots, or a fully-reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on when your child is outgrowing them.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a travel system prams system which is an all-in-one package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It has a nifty feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button. This way you can keep eye contact and keep them close, which she claimed was important for her son as he was at an exploratory stage.

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 pushchair that can be converted from a single pushchair double, with 30 different configurations. It also features sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not expensive however, you can use it with multiple children if necessary. And like our winner, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot is a great option to use right from birth.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lay as flat as possible. This will help with their development and improve oxygen levels in the lung. Some models permit an entirely flat position using a carrycot that can be fully reclinable, while others have a seat which can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature, and it's fantastic at that as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her son who was 10 months old. She loved that she could raise or lower her infant at the touch of an button, keeping him in view and still maintain closeness and eye contact.

The frame is ideal for nipping around town and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a great choice if you're planning on having a second child in the future because it easily converts from a single pushchair to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that is both stylish and comfortable. It's ideal for infants as it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat, if you buy it separately. It can be folded using the carrycot as a stand - something that does not happen with all prams, so it's an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect to find on a premium model, but the sleek frame makes it easy for you to maneuver on different terrains. It's also a great choice if you live in a large city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks frequently. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for a separate toddler stroller. You can choose from a variety of colors to match your personal style.
