What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or Sling, is the most popular method of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram is a blend of safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for all the family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for children from newborns to three years old. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your baby to feel comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams that will ensure that your baby isn't shivering anything.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lie flat, which is important for infants as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and helps support their growing spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your baby is capable of sitting up.

For a luxurious experience this Venicci egg2 has a cosy cocoon-like feel for your baby with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that does not recline to a lying-flat position, but has a padded liner and mattress. It's also lighter than other prams available at under 8kg but still has solid chassis and grained leather accents, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to handle more rugged terrains.

If you want something more budget-friendly but with a similar design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The stylish one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we tested however it comes with a big storage basket and an the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby protected 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 makes it easier for parents to transfer their baby from the car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional travel system pram that converts easily from a'pramette' that lies flat into a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also not have any gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. It is also important to examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised each year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. Tipping over is the most common cause of these injuries. Even the strongest prams could tip over if you hook your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling and gets out or in the seat before the harness is tightened.

Another reason for injury is falling from the pram or stroller. If a baby's harness is not fastened properly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to make sure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from sun in either direction. This is a great feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram or when you go to and from the shops. There are other features that are useful, such as a snack tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also a shopping basket underneath the seat.

It is not advisable to let a child sleep in their pram unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep, which can cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to fit them into the trunk of your car. This procedure must be mastered before you purchase one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the different sections back together before putting them into place.

Durability

A pram must be able stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice is able to fulfill the tasks you require it to. Also, you want your pram to be in the form of a color or print that doesn't get outdated so that you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of style.

The most reliable prams are constructed of top prams-quality materials and are designed to last. You should look for durable fabrics, sturdy tires, and an efficient suspension system. The most reliable prams have a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not being used.

All the prams on this list allow infants to lie flat, which is essential for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their spine and hips. A lot of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some include carrycots, or a reclined seat that can be snapped on and off as your child grows.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you might be interested in a travel system which is a package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me system which our parent facing pram tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has a nifty feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she claimed was important to her since 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 luxurious pushchair that can be converted from a single to double pushchair and has 30 possible configurations. It also comes with premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not inexpensive, but you can use it with more than one child if you need to. And like our winner model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included can be used from the moment of birth.

Style

Newborns must lay flat as often as possible to aid development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow a completely flat surface with a fully-reclinable carrycots, while others have the seat that can recline to an upright 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 loved the ability to raise or lower her baby at the touch of a button to keep him in view while maintaining the eye contact and closeness.

The frame is ideal for city trips, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a smart option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future since it can easily be converted from a single pram to a double or twin pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for babies as it includes a carrycot that can be folded flat and is compatible with car seats if purchased separately. You can fold it using the carrycot as a stand - something that isn't the case with all prams and is an easy and time-saving feature.

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are all the things you'd expect on a premium pram however, its sleek frame makes it easy to handle across a variety of terrains. It's also a great choice if you live in a city and need to negotiate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks regularly. It's not cheap, but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money over time by avoiding the need for a separate stroller for toddlers. You can choose from a wide range of colors to suit your personal style.
