What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or pushchair) is the most popular form of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of comfort, safety and design to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for babies 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 be comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your child isn't apprehensive.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lay flat, which is essential for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and helps support their growing spine and hips. They also have a seat that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It features smooth, curvaceous lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which does not recline into an upright position however it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, 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.

The Minu V2 is a great choice to consider if you're looking to buy something with a similar look but at a lower price. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as lightweight as other strollers, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also has an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and protected.

If you're a new parent, we'd recommend considering the travel system bundle that includes a pram set as well as a car seat that attach to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their child from their car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful compact travel stroller system pram that converts easily from a'pramette' that lies flat into a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five point safety harness to keep your baby safe and free of any gaps to trap their legs or heads. The straps must be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not cracked and have signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. The main cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a child who is wriggling can get in or out of the seat without harnesses being properly secured.

Another reason for injury is falling from the stroller or pram. 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 crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always secured.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from the sun in both directions. This is a useful feature as you can avoid having to wake your child up when you are changing their position in the pram or while you go to and from the shops. There are other features that are useful, for example snacks for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

It is not advisable to let a child sleep in their stroller unless they are within sight of them at all times. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and this could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram and travel system is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for brief periods during the day.

It is essential to disassemble the majority of prams to fit them in the boot of your vehicle. This procedure is something you should know before you purchase a pram. Also, check how it is simple to put the various sections back together and click to put them back together.

Durability

A pram must be durable enough to endure several years of wear and wear and tear. You need to ensure that your pram can handle muddy walks and also multiple car trips. Also, you want your pram to be in the form of a color or print that doesn't get outdated to avoid looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are designed to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an effective suspension system. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily, allowing you to put them in your garage or the boot of your car.

All prams on this list allow infants to lie flat, which is essential for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their spine and hips. Some are made to grow with your child, with some of them featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be moved off and on the frame for when your little one outgrows it.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you might also be interested in a travel system that is a complete package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It comes with a clever feature that allows you to raise and lower your baby at the touch of a button, so you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close, which she said was really important for her son as he was at an exploratory stage.

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

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as much as possible to aid development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, which is why it is essential that all prams permit this. Some models permit 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 works great for this as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old daughter. She loved the fact that she could raise or lower her baby at the touch of a button, keeping him in the view of others while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

It's a great stroller for those that want to nip around town with ease as the frame is a good size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres let you take it off road and on to rough terrain. It's a great option when you are planning to have another child in the future since it can be converted from a single pushchair car seat into a twin or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that is both stylish and comfortable. It's ideal for babies as it includes a carrycot that can be rolled flat and is compatible with a car seat if purchased separately. You can even fold it using the carrycot as a stand and it's something that not all prams can do, so it's an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are features you would expect to see on a premium model, but the sleek frame makes it easy for you to maneuver on various terrains. This is a great option when you live in a city and must navigate narrow streets or crowded paths frequently. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and quality could save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of a separate stroller for toddlers. It's available in a wide range of colors, as well, so you can choose one that matches your personal style.
