What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or pushchair) is the main form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and style to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for babies 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 at ease when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure that your baby does not feel anything.

All the prams in this guide allow your baby to lay flat. This is essential for babies as it increases oxygenation and strengthens their spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is able to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram that has a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It features smooth, curvaceous lines, a bucket-shaped seat, that doesn't recline to flat, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, weighing under 8kg. However, it has a sturdy chassis with grained leather details and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great option when you're looking for a model that has a similar appearance but for a lesser price. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as light as other prams, but it does have a large storage basket. It also has an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and protected.

If you're a new parent, we'd recommend considering the travel system bundle that includes a pram and car seat that attach 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 on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette, or a lie-flat 'pramette to a stroller travel for toddlers compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It should also not have any gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. The straps should be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Every year, a large number of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The most common cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you attach bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling can get in or out of the seat without the harness being secured.

Another reason for injuries is falling from the stroller or pram. If a baby's harness is not secured properly it can cause them to fall out of the folding stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the correct position.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will protect your baby from the sun in any direction. This is a useful feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby up when you are changing their position in the pram or when you go into and out of shops. There are also other features that are useful, such as a snack tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram if you are not within sight. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this may cause them to fall off the pram or stroller and could result in strangulation or suffocation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a cot and should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is essential to disassemble the majority of prams to fit them into the trunk of your car. This process must be mastered before you buy one. Also, consider how it is simple to put the different sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to last through several years of wear and tear. You should ensure that your pram can handle slippery walks, as well as multiple car trips. You should ensure that your pram is in a colour or print that will not date easily so you don't look as if you've slipped out of fashion.

The best prams are constructed from high-quality materials and designed to last. Look for durable materials as well as sturdy tires and a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams are compact and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or boot.

All prams on this list allow your baby to lie down on their backs. This is crucial for newborns, because it allows them to develop their hips and spine, and improves oxygenation levels. Many of these prams have been designed to grow with your child's. Some include a carrycot, or a reclined chair that can be snapped on and off when your child outgrows them.

If you are buying a pram for the first time you should consider a travel system that has the carrycot as well as a car seat could be of interest. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It is a revolutionary feature that lets you raise and lower your child with the touch of one button. This lets you keep eye contact with the baby and keep them in close proximity.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two kids Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be transformed from a single pushchair a double with 30 different configurations. It also has the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. 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 with the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lie flat as they can. This will help with their development and improve oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models allow an all-flat position by using a carrycot that can be completely reclined, while others have a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for the latter, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her child who was 10 months old. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her child by pressing a button to keep him in the same position and still maintain eye contact and proximity.

This frame is perfect for city trips, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a smart option if you're thinking of having a second child in the future because it easily converts from a single pushchair to a twin or double pram pushchair pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels impressive. It's ideal for babies since it includes a carrycot that can be folded flat and is compatible with a car-seat when purchased separately. You can even fold it by putting the carrycot in place and it's something that not all prams can do, so it's an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are features you would expect to see in a top model, but the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver over various terrains. This is a great choice if you live in the city and must navigate narrow streets and crowded pathways frequently. Although it's not inexpensive however, the durability and quality of this pram mean that it can save you money in the end by not having to purchase a separate pushchair for toddlers. You can choose from a range of colors to match your preferences.
