What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or sling, is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A great pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns up 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 your baby, you want to be sure they're comfortable. There are prams that will make sure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide let your baby lie flat, which is essential for infants as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and supports their developing spine and hips. They also have a seat which can be transformed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram that has a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It has smooth, curvaceous lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, that doesn't recline to flat however it does come with an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. However, it has a sturdy frame with the grained leather accents and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great option when you're looking for a model with a similar design but at a lower price. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also has an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you are a first time parent, we recommend that you consider the travel system that includes a car seat and pram that can be attached to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their baby from the car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette, into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco iSize car seat.

Safety

The pram should come with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also not have any gaps between their head and legs that are likely to get caught. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. It is also important to inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised each year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the primary reason for these injuries. Even the strongest prams can tip over if you hook bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

A common cause of injury involves falling from a pram or stroller. If a baby's harness is not fastened properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller, causing head or neck injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always locked in place.

Some prams come with a reversible shade which can be used to shield your baby in either direction from the sun. This feature is useful because you don't have to wake up your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you go in stores and out. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat and the handlebar can be locked into place when you are not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them within reach. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep, which can cause them to roll off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a crib and should be used only for short periods of time during the day.

Most prams require you to disassemble them in order to put them in the trunk of your car so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the process before you buy one. Also, check how it is easy to put the various sections back together before putting them into place.

Durability

A pram must be able endure a long time of wear. You should ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle the mud of a walk and also multiple car trips. You want to make sure that your stroller is in a colour or print that will not date easily so that you don't appear like you've lost style.

The most reliable prams are made of high-quality materials, and are designed to last. Look for durable materials with sturdy tires, as well as an efficient suspension system. The best prams are compact and fold easily so that you can put them in your garage or boot.

All prams on this list allow infants to lie flat, which is essential for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their hips and spine. Some are made to grow with your child, with some of them featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and back on the frame for when your child is no longer using it.

It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child if needed and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lie flat as they can. This will aid in their development and boost oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models permit an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is completely reclined, while others have a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter and it's brilliant at that, as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her 10-month-old son. She loved the ability to raise or lower her infant by pressing a button to keep him in sight while maintaining closeness and eye contact.

The frame is perfect for nipping around town and the puncture-proof wheels allow you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's an excellent choice if you plan to have a second child in the near future because it can easily be transformed from a single pushchair a double or twin.
