What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or running pushchair) is the most popular form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A quality pram blends safety, comfort and design to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a wonderful pram for newborns to 3-year-old children. The adjustable handle can be turned around to allow you to turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and about with your baby, you want to be sure they're comfortable. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your child does not feel anything.

All prams featured in this guide let your baby lay flat. This is crucial for newborns since it improves oxygenation and supports their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

For a truly luxurious feel, the Venicci egg2 provides a warm feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but has a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than the majority of prams on the market at under 8kg but still has an extremely sturdy chassis and grained leather accents and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof, and can handle more rugged terrains.

The Minu V2 is a great choice when you're looking for a model with a similar design but at a lower price. 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 extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're new to parenting, we recommend you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that are attached to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to transfer their baby from the car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette to a stroller for toddlers compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

The pram bag should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also have no gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. You should also check the harness buckles to ensure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a large number of children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by prams and strollers. Tipping over is the primary reason for these injuries. Even the strongest prams can tip over if you attach bags to the handles or if a child who is wriggling can get in or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

A common cause of injury involves falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby pram is not securely secured in the pram, they may fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. Therefore, it is important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into the proper position.

Some prams have an adjustable shade that can be used to protect your baby in either direction from the sun. This is a great feature as you can avoid having to wake your child up when you are changing their position in the pram for newborn or while you are to and from the shops. There are other features that could be useful, like a snack tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. There is also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

It is not advisable to leave a sleeping child in their triple stroller unless they are within their reach at all times. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram should not be used as an alternative to a crib. It should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart most prams in order to put them in the boot of your vehicle. This process should be familiarised with before you buy one. Also, consider how it is easy to put the different parts back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to endure a long time of wear. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and numerous car journeys, so you need to ensure that your choice is able to fulfill the tasks you require it to. You want to make sure that your pram is in a color or pattern that will not date easily so that you don't appear as if you've slipped out of style.

The most effective prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are designed to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The best prams are compact and fold easily, allowing you to put them in your garage or even the boot.

All prams on this list allow the baby to lie down flat. This is important for babies, because it allows them to develop their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. A lot of these prams are designed to grow with your child's. Some include a carrycot or a fully-reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on when your child outgrows them.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you may also be looking for a travel system which is an all-in-one bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. Our parent tester Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month old son. It is a revolutionary feature that lets you raise and lower your child with the touch of one 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 kids, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be converted from a single pushchair into a double with 30 different configurations. It also features the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap pushchairs, but you can use it for more than one child in the event of need and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as they can. This will aid in their development and boost oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using a carrycot that can be completely reclined, while others have a seat which can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for this as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old child. She was thrilled that she could raise and lower her little one with the touch of a button and keep him in sight, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

It's a great pram for those that want to get around town without hassle since the frame is a great size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to move it off the road and onto rough terrain. It's a great choice if you plan to have a child in the near future since it can be transformed from a single pushchair into a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's ideal for babies since it comes with a carrycot that can be folded flat and is compatible with car seats if purchased separately. It can be folded using the carrycot as a stand and it's something that not all prams can do and is an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are all features you'd expect to find on a high-end model however, the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver over various terrains. This is an excellent choice when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded paths regularly. Although it's not inexpensive but the quality and versatility of this pram make it possible to save you money in the end by avoiding the need to purchase a separate pushchair for toddlers. It's available in a wide range of colors, and you can choose one that matches your personal style.
