What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a running pushchair, stroller or sling, is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram is a combination of safety, comfort and design that makes walking fun for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic pram for newborns to 3-year-old children. 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. There are prams that ensure that your baby isn't shivering anything.

All prams featured in this guide allow your baby to lay flat. This is crucial for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their spine and hips. They also have seats that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram with a cocoon feel for your baby. It has smooth, curving lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into an upright position however it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, weighing under 8kg. But it is sturdy and has finely textured leather and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you want something more budget-friendly but still with the same style, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams, but it does have a large storage basket. It also comes with an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and shaded.

If you're the first parent of your child we suggest you look into the travel system bundle that includes a pram and a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to transfer your child from the car to the pram without waking them and is perfect for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical pram that can convert easily from a'pramette' lying flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

The pram should come 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 could get stuck. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not damaged and show signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year because of pram or stroller travel-related injuries. Tipping over is the main cause of these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over when you hang your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling or squirming and falls into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If the harness of a baby isn't secured correctly it could cause them to fall from the stroller, causing head or neck injuries. It is therefore essential to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into the proper position.

Some prams with good quality also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from sun in any direction. This feature is useful because you don'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 other features that could be useful, like snacks for your toddler or child and drink holders. You can also find a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram if you are not within sight. Babies can be prone to wiggle while asleep and this could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This can lead to strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram is not a substitute for the cot. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you take them apart in order to put them in the boot of your car therefore it's an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with this procedure before you purchase one. Also check how it is simple to put the various sections back together and click them in place.

Durability

A pram needs to be durable enough to withstand several years of wear and tear. You need to ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle muddy walks, as well as multiple car trips. You also want your pram to come in the form of a color or print that isn't prone to fading quickly to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.

The best prams are made with high-quality materials. They have been designed to last. So, look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels, and an effective suspension system. The best prams will also have a compact stroller fold so they are easy to store in your garage or boot when not in use.

All the prams in this list allow infants to lay flat, which is crucial for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their spine and hips. 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 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 which is an all-in-one bundle that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has a nifty feature that can raise or lower your child at the push of a button. This way you can maintain eye contact and keep them close, which she described as being important for her son as he was in an exploratory stage.

Another alternative 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 stroller that can be converted from a single pushchair to a double with 30 different configurations. It also comes with sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not expensive however, you can use it for more than one child if you need to. And like our winner, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included can be used as early as.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as they can. This will help with their development and increase oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models permit an entirely flat position using the carrycot which is fully reclinable, while others feature a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter and it's brilliant at that, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son who was 10 months old. She loved the ability to raise or lower her child by pressing a button to keep him in the same position, while still maintaining eye contact and proximity.

The frame is perfect to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive 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 pram to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with a car seat, if you buy it separately. You can even fold it by putting the carrycot in place which is something isn't the case with all prams and is an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are all features you would expect to see on a high-end model, but the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver over different terrains. It's also a great choice when you live in a large city and need to negotiate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks frequently. Although it's not cheap, the quality and versatility of this pram mean that it can save you money in the long run by eliminating the need to invest in a separate toddler pushchair. You can pick from a wide range of colors that will fit your preferences.
