What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or a Sling, is the main form of transport for babies and toddlers. A quality pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller for children from newborns to 3 years old. Its reversible handle allows you to turn the seat so that your child can either face either you or the world around them.

Comfort

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

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

For a really high-end experience, the Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have an upholstered liner and mattress. It's also lighter than other prams, weighing less than 8kg but has solid chassis and grained leather detailing as well as tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof, and can take on more rural settings.

If you're looking for something less expensive but with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite 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 to keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent We suggest you consider the travel system that includes a car seat pram seat as well as a pram that can be attached 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 prams system is an elegant and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette, or a lie-flat 'pramette into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

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 could get stuck. 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. Every year, a large number of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The main reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams can topple if you hook your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling or squirming and falls in or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram or stroller. If a baby is not securely secured in the pram, they may fall out of the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. It is therefore important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into place.

Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from the sun in any direction. This is a useful feature since you will not be having to wake your child awake while you change their position in the pram, or when you go to and from the shops. Other useful features include a snack tray and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and a handlebar that locks in place when you're not using it.

Do not leave a baby asleep in a pram if you are not within reach. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this may cause them to roll off the stroller or pram and cause strangulation or suffocation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for brief periods during the daytime.

It is essential to disassemble the majority of prams to fit them into the boot of your vehicle. This process must be mastered before you purchase a pram. Consider how easy it would be to put the parts back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be durable enough to withstand several years of wear and wear and tear. This includes surviving walking in the rain and numerous car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice can fulfill the tasks you require it to. You want to make sure that your pram is a colour or print that will not date easily so that you don't appear like you've fallen out of fashion.

The best prams are made of high-quality materials, and are designed to last. Look for durable materials as well as sturdy tires and an effective suspension system. The most effective prams are small and fold easily, allowing you to put them in your garage or even the boot.

All prams on this list allow babies to lie on their backs. This is important for babies, because it allows them to develop their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some come with a carrycot or a reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on as your child grows.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you might also be looking for a travel system which is a package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a clever feature that can raise or lower your child at the push of a button so you can keep eye contact and keep them close which she described as being important to her as he was in an exploratory stage.

Another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above).

It's not cheap, but you could use it for more than one child, if you need to and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie flat as possible. This will help with their development and boost oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models create a completely flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot while others feature seats that recline to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter and it's brilliant at what it does, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her 10-month-old son. She loved the ability to raise or push Chairs and prams lower her baby with a push of a button to keep him in view, while still maintaining the eye contact and closeness.
