What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or a pushchair) is the main form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A quality pram is a blend of comfort, safety and design 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 kids. Its reversible handle allows you to tilt the seat so your child can face either you or the world around them.

Comfort

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

The prams we've selected in this buying guide all allow your baby to lay flat, which is essential for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen levels and supports their developing spine and hips. They also come with seats which can be transformed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end running pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It has smooth, curvaceous lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into an upright position, but it does have an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams available at less than 8kg but has solid chassis and grained leather accents and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to take on more rural settings.

If you're looking for something more budget-friendly but still with the same design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we tried but it does have a large storage basket, as well as an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're the first parent of your child we recommend the travel system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without disturbing them and is ideal for parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful travel system pram that converts easily from a lie-flat 'pramette' to a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It should also not have any gaps where their legs or heads can get trapped. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to injuries from strollers or prams. The main reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams can tip over when you strap your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and falls in or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling off the pram or stroller. If a baby is not securely fastened in the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the harness buckle is always locked in place.

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

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them within sight. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this may cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A pram or a lightweight stroller should not be used as an alternative to the cot. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you to take them apart in order to fit them into the car's boot so it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before purchasing one. Consider how easy it would be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram bags should be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. You should ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle muddy walks and also multiple car trips. It is important to ensure that your pram is the right color or design that will not date easily so you don't look like you've lost style.

The best prams are constructed from high-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable materials as well as sturdy tires and a well-designed system of suspension. The most reliable prams feature a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or the boot when not when not in use.

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

If you are buying a pram for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that comes with a carrycot and car seats could be worth a look. Our tester for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month old son. It has an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your child by pressing a single button. This allows you to maintain eye contact with your child and keep them close.

Another alternative is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be converted from a single pushchair twin into double, with 30 different configurations. It also features 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 you need to and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as possible. This will aid in their development and increase oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models allow a completely flat surface with a fully-reclinable carrycots, while others have the seat that can recline to a flat position.

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

The frame is ideal to take a stroll around town, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a great option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future since it is able to convert from a single pram into a twin or foldable pram double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with 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 which is something not all prams can do, 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 simple to maneuver over various terrains. This is a great option when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets and crowded paths frequently. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the purchase of a separate stroller for toddlers. It's available in a wide selection of colors as well, so you can choose one that matches your personal style.
