What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a pushchair or stroller) is the main form of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends safety, comfort and style to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

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

Comfort

Your baby should be comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams pushchairs that ensure your baby doesn't feel anything.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide let your baby lie flat, which is important for newborn babies as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and supports their developing hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your child is able to sit up.

For a truly luxurious feel, 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 does have padding on the 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 the grained leather accents and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something a bit less expensive but with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams but it does come with a large storage basket. It also comes with an extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and protected.

If you are new to parenting, we recommend you consider the travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that can be attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby from the car to the pram without waking them and is ideal for 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'pramette' that lies flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also have no gaps in which their heads or legs could get stuck. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you hook bags onto the handles, or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without the harness being secured.

A common cause of injury involves falling off a pram or stroller. If a baby isn't securely fastened in the pram, they could fall out of the pram and suffer head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into place.

Some prams with good quality also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in both directions. This is a useful feature because it will prevent having to wake your child awake when you change their position in the pram or when you are in and out of shops. Other useful features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you're not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram without having them in sight. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this may cause them to fall off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to the crib. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you disassemble them in order to put them in the car's boot so it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before you purchase one. Check how easy it will be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram should be able to last through several years of wear and tear. You should ensure that your pram can handle muddy walks and also multiple car trips. You also want your pram to come in a print or colour that isn't prone to fading quickly to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are designed to last, so you should look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The top best prams have a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not being used.

All the prams in this list allow the baby to lay on their backs. This is important for newborns, because it allows them to develop their hips and spine and improves oxygenation levels. Many of these prams are designed to expand with your child. Some come with a carrycot, or a fully-reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on when your child is outgrowing them.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a travel set which is a bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. Our parent tester Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month old son. It comes with a clever feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button so you can keep eye contact 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 children Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be transformed from a single pushchair into double, with 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 more than one child if you need to. Like our top pick model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included can be used right from birth.

Style

Newborns must lie flat as much as they can in order to promote development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs. Therefore, it's important 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 unflat position.

The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter feature, and it's fantastic in this regard as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her 10-month-old son. She loved that she could raise or lower her infant at the touch of the button to keep him in sight, while still maintaining the eye contact and 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 a great choice if you plan to have a child in the future because it can easily be converted from a single pushchair a twin pushchairs or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's suitable for newborns because it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats when you purchase it separately. It can be folded by putting the carrycot in place and it's something that isn't the case with all prams and is a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres are the kinds of features you'd expect to find on a premium 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 have to navigate narrow streets or congested pathways frequently. While it's not cheap but the quality and versatility of this pram will save you money over the long term by not having to buy a separate pushchair for toddlers. It's available in an extensive range of colors, and you can pick one that matches your personal style.
