What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or pushchair) is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and style to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller for babies to 3 years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

If you're out and about with your baby, you want to ensure they're secure. There are prams that will ensure that your baby isn't shivering any discomfort.

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

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram that offers a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It features smooth, curved lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which does not recline into an upright position, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than other prams available at less than 8kg, but it has solid chassis and grained leather accents, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to be used in more rural environments.

The Minu V2 is a great choice when you're looking for a model with a similar design but for a lesser price. The swish-looking, one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as some of the other prams we tried but it has an impressively big storage basket and an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're new to parenting, we recommend you consider a travel pram system package which includes a car seat and pram that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to move their child from the car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel strollers system is a stylish and functional pram bag that can be converted easily from a 'pramette,' or lie-flat 'pramette,' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It must also be free of gaps where their legs or heads are likely to get caught. The straps must be cushioned, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on your harness to make sure they're not cracked and show signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised each year because of pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling off the pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not secured properly, it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is important to make sure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from the sun in both directions. This is a handy feature as you can avoid having to wake your child awake when you change their position in the pram store near me or when you go to and from the shops. Other handy features include a snack tray and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat, and a handlebar that locks in place when you are not using it.

You should never leave a child sleeping in their stroller unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies can be prone to wiggle during sleep, which could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to strangulation and suffocation. A pram or a stroller is not a substitute for the cot. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

It is essential to disassemble the majority of prams to fit them into the boot of your vehicle. This process is something you should know before you purchase a pram. Consider how easy it would be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to endure a long time of wear. This includes surviving the mud-filled walks and numerous car journeys, so you need to ensure that your choice will fulfill the tasks you require it to. It is also important for your pram to come in a print or colour that doesn't get outdated to avoid looking like you've gone out of fashion.

The most reliable prams are constructed from high-quality materials and built to last. You should look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and an efficient suspension system. The top prams have a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not in use.

All prams on this list allow babies to lay flat. This is important for newborns, as it helps them develop their spine and hips and improves oxygenation levels. Many of these prams have been designed to grow with your child's. Some include a carrycot or a reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on as your child grows.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you may be looking for a travel system which is a bundle that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It comes with a handy feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button. This way you can keep eye contact and keep them close which she described as being important for her son as the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be converted from a single pushchair to a double with 30 different configurations. It also comes with the sun canopy which 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, can be used from birth with the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lie as flat as possible. This will aid in their development and improve oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclined, whereas others feature a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her child who was 10 months old. She was thrilled that she could raise and lower her child with the touch of a button, keeping him in the view of others, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is perfect for city trips and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a great choice if you're planning on having another child in future because it easily converts from a single pushchair to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a premium, stylish option. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with a car seat, if you buy it separately. You can even fold it by putting the carrycot in place - something that not all prams can do which is why it's an easy and time-saving feature.

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are the kind of things you'd expect on a high-end pram, but its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver on any terrain. This is a great option when you live in a city and must navigate narrow streets and crowded walkways frequently. Although it's not cheap, the quality and versatility of this pram mean that it can save you money in the long run by not having to purchase a separate pushchair for toddlers. It's available in a wide variety of colors, as well, so you can pick one that matches your personal style.
