What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or Sling, is the most popular form of transport for babies and toddlers. A great pram is a combination of comfort, safety and design that makes walking enjoyable for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller newborn for babies to 3 years old. Its reversible handle allows you to turn the seat so your child can look at you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and about with a baby, you want to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your child doesn't feel a thing.

All the prams in this guide allow your baby lie flat. This is important for babies as it increases oxygenation and helps support their spine and hips. They also have a seat that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

For a really high-end experience, the Venicci egg2 has a cosy feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but it does have padding on the liner and mattress. It's also a little lighter than most prams on the market at under 8kg but still has solid chassis and grained leather details and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to take on more rural settings.

The Minu V2 is a great option when you're looking for a model with a similar design but for a lesser price. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we tested but it has an impressively large storage basket, as well as an extended hood with UPF50+ protection, which will keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're the first parent of your child, we'd recommend considering a travel system bundle which includes a pram as well as a car seat that attach to the same frame. This will make it easier to transfer your child from the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is perfect for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is an elegant and practical pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette,' or lie-flat 'pramette,' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps that could trap their heads or legs. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Each year, many children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. The primary cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you strap your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling and falls into or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another common cause of injury is falling from the pram or stroller. If a child's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. This is why it is important to make sure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from the sun in any direction. This is a handy feature as you can avoid having to wake your child up when you are changing their position in the pram, or when you are to and from the shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and the handlebar locks into position when you're not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being within sight. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep, which can cause them to roll off the pram or stroller and cause strangulation or suffocation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as a substitute for the cot. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

It is necessary to take apart the majority of prams to place them into the trunk of your car. This procedure is something you should know before you purchase one. Consider how easy it would be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram must be able endure a long time of wear. You should ensure that your stroller can withstand the mud of a walk, as well as multiple car trips. It is important to ensure that your pram is in the right color or design that will not date easily to avoid looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

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

All prams on this list allow babies to lay on their backs. This is essential for newborns, because it allows them to develop their hips and spine, and improves oxygenation levels. Many are designed to grow with your child and some having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be clicked on and off the frame for when your child is no longer using it.

If you are considering buying a pram for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that comes with an infant carrycot and car seats could be of interest. Our parent tester Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month-old son. It has an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the touch of a single button. This lets you keep your eyes on your child and keep them close.

Another option is 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 folding pushchair to double in 30 different configurations. It also comes with a sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not inexpensive however, you can use it for multiple children, if needed. And like our winner, the iCandy Orange 3 with its included carrycot, it can be used right from birth.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as they can. This will help with their development and improve oxygen levels in the lung. Some models create a completely flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycots, while others have seats that recline to a flat position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature and is fantastic in this regard, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son who was 10 months old. She loved that she could raise or lower her child at the touch of an button, keeping him in sight while maintaining closeness and eye contact.

It's a great choice for those that want to get around town easily as the frame is a good size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres allow you to remove it from the road and on to rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having another child in future since it is able to convert from a single pram into a twin or double pushchair travel system.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a premium, stylish option. It is suitable for newborns because it includes a carrycot that can be rolled flat and is compatible with a car seat if purchased separately. You can fold it by putting the carrycot in place - something that isn't the case with all prams which is why it's an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect to find on a high-end model however, the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver over various terrains. It's also a great choice for those who live in a large city and need to negotiate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks regularly. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this pram make it possible to save you money in the long run by eliminating the need to buy a separate toddler pushchair. You can pick from a variety of colors to suit your preferences.
