What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and style to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns to 3-year-old children. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

Your baby should feel comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams that will make sure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is important for infants as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and supports their developing spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to an upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram with a cocoon feel for your baby. It is smooth and has curving lines and a bucket-shaped seat which does not recline into flat however it does come with an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams for sale, with a weight of less than 8kg. But it has a sturdy chassis with finely textured leather and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you want something more affordable, but with a similar style, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The swish-looking, one-hand steer model isn't as light than some of the other prams we tested but it does have a large storage basket, as well as an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you are new to parenting we suggest that you look into a travel pram system that includes a car seat and pram that are attached to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to transfer their child from the car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful pram that can convert 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 be equipped with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It should also have no gaps where their legs or heads can get trapped. The straps must be cushioned, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not damaged and show signs of wear. Many children are admitted to hospitals every year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. The most common cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams can tip over if you attach bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

A common cause of injury is falling off a pram or stroller. If a baby is not properly secured, they could fall out of the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is important to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always locked in place.

Some prams have a reversible shade that can be used to protect your baby in both directions from the sun. This is a great feature since you will not be having to wake your child up when you are changing their position in the pram or while you go into and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you are not using it.

It is not advisable to leave a sleeping child in their stroller unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies are prone to wiggle while asleep and this could cause them to fall out of the stroller or pram. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not a substitute for the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

Most prams require you to dismantle them to fit them into the car's boot so it's an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with the process before purchasing one. Also, consider how it is easy to put the various sections back together and click them in place.

Durability

A pram should be able to endure several years of wear. This includes the need to endure the mud-filled walks and numerous car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice can fulfill the tasks you require it to. Also, you want your pram to come in the form of a color or print that isn't prone to fading quickly so that you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of style.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are built to last, so look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The top prams have a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or the boot when not in use.

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

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you might also be looking for a travel system which is a bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your child at the touch of a single button. This lets you keep your eyes on the baby and keep them in close proximity.

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

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as much as possible to aid development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, so it's essential that all prams travel system permit this. Some models permit an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is completely reclined, while others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her child who was 10 months old. She loved the ability to raise or lower her baby at the touch of a button to keep him in sight while maintaining the eye contact and closeness.

It's a great stroller for those that want to get around town without hassle since the frame is a good size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres let you take it off road and onto rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for those who plan to have a second child in the near future since it can be transformed from a single pushchair into a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for babies as it comes with a carrycot that can lie flat and it's compatible with a car seat if purchased separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place This is an option that not all prams provide. This reduces time and makes it easier to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are all the features you'd expect to find on a high-end pram, but its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver on any terrain. It's also an ideal choice for those who reside in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks regularly. It's not cheap, but its versatility and quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for a separate stroller for toddlers. You can pick from a wide range of colors to suit your personal style.
