What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a pushchair car seat or stroller) is the main form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of safety, comfort and design to make walking enjoyable for the whole 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 to tilt the seat so that your child can either face you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and about with your baby, you'll want to be sure they're comfortable. There are prams that will make sure your baby doesn't feel anything.

All the prams listed in this guide let your baby lay flat. This is essential for newborns since it improves oxygenation and strengthens their spine and hips. They also come with a seat which can be transformed to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit.

For a really high-end feel it's the Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon-like feel for your baby with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have padding on the liner and mattress. It's also lighter than many prams, weighing under 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with the grained leather accents and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

If you want something more budget-friendly but with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The swish-looking, one-hand steer model isn't as light as some of the other prams we've tested but it does have a large storage basket and extended hood with UPF50+ protection to keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you are new to parenting We suggest that you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby from the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful pram for travel that can be converted easily from a'pramette' lying flat to a pushchair with car seat for toddlers, compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps that could trap their heads or legs. The straps should be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Each year, many children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. The most common reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the strongest prams could tip over when you strap your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and gets in or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another frequent cause of injuries is falling from the stroller or pram. If a baby isn't securely fastened in the pram, they could fall out of the pram and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the harness buckle is always locked in place.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from the sun in either direction. This is a great feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram or while you are in and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat and a handlebar that locks into position when you're not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram if you are not in sight. Babies are susceptible to wiggle during sleep and this could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could lead to strangulation and suffocation. A pram or a stroller is not a substitute for the crib. It should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart the majority of prams to place them in the boot of your vehicle. This process should be familiarised with before you purchase one. Check how easy it will be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram must be able stand up to the wear and tear of many years. You want to make sure that your baby's pram is able to handle muddy walks as well as a variety of car trips. You also want your pram to be in a print or colour that doesn't get outdated to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.

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

All the prams on this list allow your baby to lie down flat. This is essential for newborns, because it allows them to develop their hips and spine and boosts oxygen levels. A lot of them are designed to grow with your child, with some of them having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and back on the frame at a time when your little one outgrows it.

If you are considering buying a pram for the very first time, a travel system that has the carrycot as well as a car seat could be a good idea. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It comes with a handy feature that can raise or lower your baby at the touch of a button. This way you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she described as being important to her since the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

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

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie as flat as they can. This will help with their development and increase oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using a carrycot that can be fully reclinable, while others have a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature, and it's fantastic in this regard, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son of 10 months. She loved the ability to raise or lower her child at the touch of an button, keeping him in view while maintaining the eye contact and closeness.

It's a great choice for those who want to travel around town easily as the frame is an ideal size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to remove it from the road and into rough terrain. It's an excellent choice if you plan to have another child in the near future because it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a twin or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with car seats in the event that you purchase it separately. It can be folded with the carrycot in place - something that does not happen with all prams, so it's an easy and time-saving feature.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are all the features you'd expect to see on a premium pram and its sleek design makes it easy to handle across a variety of terrains. It's also a great option if you live in a city and need to negotiate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks regularly. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of a separate stroller for toddlers. It's available in an extensive selection of colors as well, so you can choose one that fits your personal style.
