What Makes Good Prams?

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

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 to tilt the seat so that your child can look at either you or the world around them.

Comfort

If you're out and about with a baby, you'll want to ensure that they're safe. There are prams that will ensure that your baby isn't shivering any sensations.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide let your baby lie flat, which is essential for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen levels and helps support their growing spine and hips. They also come with a seat that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a truly luxurious experience, the Venicci egg2 has a cosy feeling of a cocoon for your baby with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but has a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, weighing under 8kg but still has solid chassis and grained leather details, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof, and can handle more rugged terrains.

If you're looking for something more affordable, but with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The stylish, one-hand steer model isn't as light as some of the other prams we tested but it has an impressively large storage basket, as well as an the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection that'll keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a new parent we suggest you look into a travel system bundle which includes a pram and car seat that are attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without disturbing them and is ideal for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette,' or lie-flat 'pramette, into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

A pram should have a five point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps to entrap their legs or heads. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. Every year, a large number of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a wriggling child can get in or out of the seat without the harness being properly secured.

Another common cause of injury is falling from the pram or stroller. If a baby's harness is not fastened properly it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into the correct position.

Some prams with good quality also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from sun in either direction. This feature is useful because you don't have to wake your baby every time you change their position in the stroller, or when you go into and out of stores. There are also other features that could be useful, such as a snack tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. You can also find an extra shopping basket under the seat.

You should never leave a child sleeping in their stroller unless you are in their sight at all times. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this can cause them to fall off the stroller or pram and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib and should be used only for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart most prams in order to fit them in the trunk of your car. This procedure should be familiarised with before you buy one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the different parts back together and click to put them back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes having to deal with the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, which is why you need to ensure that your choice is able to fulfill the tasks you require it to. You want to make sure that your stroller is in a colour or print that won't fade easily so you don't look like you've fallen out of style.

The top prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They have been designed to last. So, look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels and a well-designed suspension system. The top prams have a compact fold, so you can store them easily in your garage or boot when not being used.

All prams on this list allow infants to lay flat, which is vital for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their hips and spine. Many of these prams have been designed to expand with your child's. Some come with a carrycot or a fully-reclined chair that can be snapped on and off when your child outgrows them.

If you are considering buying an infant stroller for the first time you should consider a travel system that has a carrycot and a car seat could be worth a look. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It comes with a handy feature that can raise or 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 as the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

Another alternative 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 luxurious pushchair that converts from a single pushchair to double pushchair, with 30 possible configurations. It also comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy and puncture-proof tyres. It's not cheap, but you can use it for more than one child if needed and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as much as they can in order to promote development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, which is why it's important that all prams support this. Some models allow a completely flat surface with a fully-reclinable carrycot while others feature seats that recline to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old daughter. She loved the fact that she could raise or lower her baby at the touch of a button, keeping him in the view of others, while still maintaining 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 a great choice when you are planning to have another child in the near future since it can be converted from a single pushchair into a double pram or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that is both stylish and comfortable. It is suitable for newborns as it comes with a carrycot that can lie flat and it's compatible with a car-seat if purchased separately. It can be folded by putting the carrycot in place - something that does not happen with all prams which is why it's a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres are all the features you'd expect to see on a pram of the highest quality, but its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver across a variety of terrains. This is a great option for those who live in the city and must navigate narrow streets and crowded walkways frequently. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the purchase of a separate toddler stroller. You can choose from a range of colors that will fit your style.
