What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or a pushchair) is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking fun for all the family members.

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

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

All prams featured in this guide allow your baby lie flat. This is important for babies as it increases oxygenation and helps support their hips and spine. They also come with seats that can be changed to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram pushchair that offers a cocoon-like feeling for your baby. It is smooth and has curvaceous lines and a bucket-shaped seat that doesn't recline to flat however, it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with grained leather details and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

If you want something less expensive but with a similar design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great 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 to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent we suggest you look into a travel system bundle that includes a pram and car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This will make it easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without having to wake them up and is perfect for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram that can convert easily from a lie-flat 'pramette into a toddler-friendly pushchair compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps to trap their legs or heads. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Every year, a lot of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. The main reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

Another common cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If the harness of a baby isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall out of the stroller, causing head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into place.

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

Do not leave a baby asleep in a pram if you are not within sight. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this can cause them to slide off the pram or stroller and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A folding pram or stroller is not a substitute for a cot and should only be used for brief periods during the day.

It is essential to disassemble the majority of prams to put them in the trunk of your car. This process should be familiarised with before you buy one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the various sections back together and then click to put them back together.

Durability

A pram should be able to endure a long time of wear. You want to make sure that your pram can handle muddy walks, as well as multiple car trips. You want to make sure that your pram is a color or pattern that won't fade easily so that you don't appear like you've lost fashion.

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

All the prams on this list allow babies to lie flat, which is essential for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their hips and spine. Many of these prams have been designed to grow along with your child's. Some have carrycots, or a fully-reclined chair that can be snapped on and off when your child outgrows them.

If you are considering buying a pram for the first time, a travel system that has an infant carrycot and car seats could be worth a look. Our parent tester Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a clever feature that can raise or lower your child with the click of a button. This way you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close, which she said was really important for her son as the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

Another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be transformed from a single pushchair into double, with 30 different configurations. It also comes with sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child if needed and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3 in one pushchair, can be used from birth using the included carrycot.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lay as flat as possible. This will aid in their development and improve oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models provide a flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot, while others have the seat that can recline to an unflat position.

The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter feature and is fantastic at that as our tester for parents Jaya found when she tested it with her son who was 10 months old. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise and lower her little one with the push of a button to keep him in sight while maintaining eye contact and closeness.

It's a great pram for those that want to nip around town without hassle since the frame is an ideal size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres allow you to remove it from the road and onto rough terrain. It's a great choice for those who plan to have a child in the near future since it can be transformed from a single pushchair a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels impressive. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat, if you buy it separately. It can be folded with the carrycot in place - something that isn't the case with all prams, so it's an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are features you would expect to see on a premium model however, the sleek frame makes it easy for you to maneuver on various terrains. This is a great choice for those who live in the city and must navigate narrow streets and crowded pathways frequently. Although it's not cheap, the quality and versatility of this stroller will save you money in the long run by not having to buy a separate toddler pushchair stroller. You can choose from a wide range of colors to suit your preferences.
