What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the most popular method of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram combines comfort, safety and design that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for children from newborns to three years old. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your baby to feel comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams that will make sure your baby doesn't feel any discomfort.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide all allow your baby to lie flat, which is crucial for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen levels and assists in the development of their hips and spine. The seats can be adjusted to an upright position once your baby is capable of sitting up.

For a luxurious feel, the Venicci egg2 has a cosy cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position but does have a padded liner and mattress. It's also lighter than most prams, weighing under 8kg. But it is sturdy and has grained leather details and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great choice when you're looking for a model with a similar look but at a price that is lower. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight than some of the other prams we tested but it has an impressively large storage basket and the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a first time parent we suggest that you look into a travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This makes it easier to transfer your child from the car to the pram without disturbing them and is perfect for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful travel system pram that converts easily from a lie-flat 'pramette' to a toddler-friendly pushchair car seat, compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram should have a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to trap their heads or legs. The straps must be cushioned, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Also, you should examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised each year because of injuries from strollers or prams. The primary reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags on the handles, or if a child who is wriggling can get in or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

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

Some good prams (ai-db.science) also have an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from sun in either direction. This is a useful feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram or when you are going to and from the shops. Other useful features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby 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 without having them within reach. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping and could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram should not be used as an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you to take them apart in order to fit them into the trunk of your car seat pram therefore it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before purchasing one. Also check how it is easy to put the different sections back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram should be able to endure several years of wear. This includes surviving muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, which is why you want to be sure your choice is able to perform the task you want it to. You also want your pram to come in a print or colour that isn't prone to fading quickly so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of style.

The most effective prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They have been designed to last. So, look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The most effective prams are small and fold easily, so you can store them in your garage or the boot of your car.

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is vital for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their spine and hips. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some come with a carrycot, or a fully-reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on as your child grows.

If you're looking to purchase a brand new pram for the first time, you may also be looking for a travel system that is a complete bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. Our test-driver for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month old son. It has an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your baby with the touch of one button. This lets you keep your eyes on your child and keep them close.

Another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two kids, 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 has sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap pushchairs but you could use it for more than one child, if you need to and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns must lay flat as often as possible to aid development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, which is why it's essential that all prams support this. Some models provide a flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot while others feature a seat that reclines to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for the latter, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old child. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her infant at the touch of an button, keeping him in the same position while maintaining closeness and eye contact.

It's a great choice for those who want to nip around town without hassle since the frame is a good size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres let you move it off the road and onto rough terrain. It's also a great choice if you're planning on having another child in future since it is able to convert from a single pushchair to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats when you purchase it separately. You can even fold it using the carrycot as a stand and it's something that not all prams can do and is an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics large basket, spacious interior, 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 choice for those who live in a large city and must navigate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks frequently. Although it's not inexpensive but the quality and versatility of this stroller will save you money in the end by eliminating the need to purchase a separate pushchair for toddlers. You can pick from a variety of colors to suit your style.
