What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a triple pushchair, stroller or Sling, is the most popular mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram is a combination of safety, comfort and design that makes walking fun for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns to 3-year-old kids. Its reversible handle allows you to tilt the seat so that your child can either face either you or the world around them.

Comfort

If you're out and about with a baby, you'll want to ensure they're secure. There are prams that will ensure your baby doesn't feel anything.

All prams featured in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is essential for newborns as it improves oxygenation and strengthens their hips and spine. They also come with seats that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

For a truly luxurious experience, the Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position but does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it has a sturdy chassis with grained leather details and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

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

If you're a first-time parent, we'd recommend considering the travel system prams system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to transfer their baby from the car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful travel system pram that converts easily from a'pramette' lying flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should come with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It should also have no gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Every year, a large number of children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by prams or compact strollers. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the strongest prams can tip over if you hook bags on the handles, or if a wriggling child is able to get into or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

Another common cause of injury is falling off the pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby isn't secured correctly it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. It is therefore essential to 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 feature is helpful since you don't need to wake your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you go into and out of stores. Other handy features include a snack tray and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a shopping basket underneath the seat, and a handlebar that locks in place when you're not using it.

Do not leave a baby asleep in a pram if you are not within reach. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and this could cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram 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 to disassemble them in order to fit them into the car's boot so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with this procedure before you buy one. Find out how easy it will be to put the parts back together.

Durability

A pram should be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. You should ensure that your stroller can withstand slippery walks, as well as multiple car trips. It is also important for your stroller to have a print or colour that doesn't get outdated to avoid 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 fabrics with sturdy tires, as well as a well-designed system of suspension. The most effective prams are small and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or boot.

All the prams in this list allow infants to lay flat, which is vital for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their hips and spine. A lot of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some include carrycots, or a reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on as your child grows.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you may be looking for a travel system which is a bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me device 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 allows you to keep your eyes on your child and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that can be converted from a single to double pushchair, with 30 possible configurations and features luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy and puncture-proof tyres. It's not cheap however, you can use it for multiple children, if needed. Similar to our winner model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included is a great option to use from the moment of birth.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as often as they can in order to promote development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, so it's important that all prams allow this. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclinable, while others have a seat which reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature, and it's fantastic at what it does as our tester for parents Jaya discovered when she tried it with her 10-month-old son. She loved the fact that she could raise or lower her child with the press of a button and keep him in the view of others while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

It's a great choice for those that want to travel around town with ease as the frame is an ideal size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres allow you to move it off the road and onto rough terrain. It's a great option when you are planning to have a child in the near future, as it can easily be transformed from a single folding pushchair into a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a premium, stylish option. 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. It can be folded with the carrycot in place which is something isn't the case with all prams and is an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are all features you'd expect to find on a premium model however, the sleek frame makes it simple for you to maneuver on different terrains. It's also a great option if you reside in a city and must navigate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks regularly. While it's not cheap, the quality and versatility of this model will save you money in the long run by avoiding the need to invest in a separate triple pushchair for toddlers. You can pick from a range of colors that will fit your style.
