What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a pushchair or stroller) is the main form of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of safety, comfort and design to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns up to 3 year old kids. 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 ensure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is crucial for newborns as it improves oxygenation and strengthens their hips and spine. They also have seats that can be changed to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a luxurious feel this Venicci egg2 offers a cozy feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seats that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but has padding on the mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, weighing under 8kg. But it is sturdy and has the grained leather accents and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great option to consider if you're looking to buy something with a similar design but for a lesser price. The stylish, one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we tried however it comes with a large storage basket and extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're the first parent of your child we recommend a travel system bundle that includes a pram and a car seat that attach to the same frame. This will make it easier to transfer your child from the car into the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful pram for travel that can be converted easily from a lie-flat 'pramette into a toddler-friendly pushchair with car seat compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

The pram should come with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It must also be free of gaps between their head and legs that are likely to get caught. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. It is also important to inspect the buckles of your harness to make sure that they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized every year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over when you hang bags to 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 from the foldable stroller or pram. If a child's harness is not fastened properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller, causing neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the harness buckle is always clicked into place.

Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from sun in either direction. This feature is helpful because you don't have to wake your baby when you change their position in the triple stroller, or when you enter stores and out. There are also other features that are useful, like snacks for your child or toddler and drink holders. There's also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being within reach. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping, which can cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you to disassemble them in order to put them in the boot of your car so it's an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with this process before you purchase one. Check how easy it will be to put the parts back together.

Durability

A pram 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 slippery walks, as well as multiple car trips. It is important to ensure that your pram is in the right color or design that will not date easily to avoid looking like you've lost fashion.

The best prams are made from high-quality materials and are designed to last. So, look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The best prams will also have a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or in the boot when not being used.

All prams on this list allow babies to lay flat, which is vital for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their spine and hips. A lot of them are designed 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 at a time when your child outgrows it.

If you are purchasing an infant stroller for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that comes with an infant carrycot and a car seat could be of interest. Our tester for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month old son. It comes with a handy feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button. This way you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she claimed was important to her as he was in an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be converted from a single pushchair cheap to double in 30 different configurations. It also comes with a 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, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the included carrycot.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie flat as they can. This will help with their development and increase oxygen levels in the lung. Some models permit an entirely flat position using a carrycot that is completely reclined, while others have a seat which reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for this as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old child. She loved the fact that she could raise and lower her child with the touch of a button to keep him in view while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

This frame is perfect for nipping around town and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's a great option when you are planning to have a second child in the near future since it can be converted from a single pushchair into a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a premium, stylish option. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat when you purchase it separately. It can be folded with the carrycot in place which is something isn't the case with all prams which is why it's an easy and time-saving 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 and its sleek design 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. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and quality could save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for a separate stroller for toddlers. It's available in a wide selection of colors and you can pick one that matches your personal style.
