What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or Sling, is the main mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of safety, comfort, and style to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

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

Comfort

When you're out and about with your baby, you need to be sure they're comfortable. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure that your baby isn't apprehensive.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is important for infants as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and assists in the development of their hips and spine. They also come with seats that can be changed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram with a cocoon feel for your baby. It has smooth, curved lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, that doesn't recline to a flat position however it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also lighter than most prams, weighing less than 8kg but has solid chassis and grained leather accents, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to take on more rural settings.

The Minu V2 is a great option to consider if you're looking to buy something with a similar look but for a lesser price. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also has an extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and protected.

If you're a new parent, 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 makes it much easier for parents to move their child from their car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is an elegant and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette,' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

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 legs or heads. The straps should be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Also, you should inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the strongest prams can topple when you strap bags to the handles or if a child is wriggling or squirming and falls out or in the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram or stroller. If a baby isn't properly secured the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the proper position.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from sun in both directions. This feature is useful because you won't have to wake up your baby when you change their position in the stroller or when you enter and out of shops. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat, and a handlebar that locks in place when you are not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram without having them in sight. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep, which can cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the day.

The majority of prams require you take them apart in order to fit them into the car's boot therefore it's recommended to familiarize yourself with this process before you purchase one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the various sections back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram must be able stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes surviving muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, which is why you need to ensure that your choice can perform the task you want it to. You should ensure that your stroller is in a colour or print that isn't prone to fading so you don't look like you've lost fashion.

The top prams are constructed of high-quality materials and are designed to last, so look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels and a well-designed suspension system. The best travel pushchair prams are lightweight and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or even the boot.

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lay 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 adapt to your child's needs with some featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked on and off the frame for when your little one outgrows it.

If you are purchasing a pram for the first time, a travel system that has the carrycot as well as car seats could be a good idea. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has a nifty feature that can raise or lower your child with the click of a button. This way you can maintain eye contact and keep them close, which she said was really important to her since he was in an exploratory stage.

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 luxury pram that can be converted from a single pushchair to double pushchair, with 30 different configurations, and comes with luxe fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not cheap prams however, you can use it with multiple children, if needed. Similar to our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included can be used right from birth.

Style

Newborns must lie flat as much as they can to help develop and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs. Therefore, it's important that all prams allow this. Some models allow a completely flat position by using a carrycot that can be completely reclined, while others feature a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter feature, and it's fantastic in this regard as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her son who was 10 months old. She loved that she could raise or lower her infant by pressing a button to keep him in sight and still maintain closeness and eye contact.

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

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that looks and feels impressive. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place It's a feature that not all prams have. This reduces time and makes it simpler to use.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are the kind of features you'd expect to see on a premium pram however, its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver on a variety of terrains. It's also a great choice for those who live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks regularly. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for an additional stroller for your toddler stroller. You can pick from a variety of colors to match your personal style.
