What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or Sling, is the most popular mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and design to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic pram for newborns up to 3 year old children. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and about with your baby, you want to ensure they're secure. There are prams that ensure that your baby isn't shivering any discomfort.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lay flat. This is essential for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up.

For a luxurious feel it's the Venicci egg2 has a cosy feeling of a cocoon for your baby with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but has padding on the mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with the grained leather accents and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something less expensive but with a similar style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't 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 protected.

If you're a new parent we suggest you look into the travel stroller system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that attach to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their baby from the car to the pram without having to get 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' to a toddler-friendly pushchair travel system that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram should have a five point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to entrap their legs or heads. The straps should be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. 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 admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The primary cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams can topple if you hook bags to the handles or if a child is wriggling and gets into or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby's harness is not secured properly, it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. It is therefore essential to ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into the proper position.

Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from the sun in either direction. This is a handy feature as you can avoid having to wake your child awake while you change their position in the pram or while you are going into and out of shops. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and the handlebar can be locked into place when you are not using it.

You should never let a child sleep in their pram unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies are prone to wiggle during sleep, which could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could lead to strangulation and suffocation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart most prams in order to fit them into the boot of your vehicle. This process is something you should know before you buy one. Also check how it is easy to put the different sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to last through many years of wear and tear. You need to ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle muddy walks, as well as multiple car trips. You should ensure that your pram is in a color or pattern that won't fade easily so you don't look as if you've slipped out of style.

The most effective prams are constructed of high-quality materials and are designed to last, so you should look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels, and an efficient suspension system. The most reliable prams have a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or the boot when not in use.

All the prams on this list allow babies to lay flat. This is essential for babies, because it allows them to develop their hips and spine, and improves oxygenation levels. Many are designed to grow with your child and some having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and back on the frame when your child outgrows it.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you might also be looking for a travel stroller system that is a complete package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It has a nifty feature that raises and lowers your baby at the touch of a button. This way you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close, which she described as being important to her since he was in an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two kids Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that converts from a single to double pram and pushchair pushchair and has 30 different configurations, and comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy, and puncture-proof tyres. It's not cheap however, you can use it with multiple children if necessary. And like our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its included carrycot, it can be used right from birth.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as much as possible to aid development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams permit this. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclinable, while others feature a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature, and it's fantastic in this regard as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her 10-month-old son. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her little one with the press of a button and keep him in the view of others and still maintain eye contact and closeness.

The frame is ideal to take a stroll around town, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off the road or on rough terrain. It's also a great option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future because it easily converts from a single pram into a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's ideal for infants as it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats when you purchase it separately. It can be folded while the carrycot still in place It's something that not all prams have. This is time-saving and makes it easier to use.

The pram's luxurious fabrics large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are all features you would expect to see in a top model, but the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver around diverse terrains. This is a great choice when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets and crowded paths on a regular basis. Although it's not cheap but the quality and versatility of this stroller mean that it can save you money over the long term by eliminating the need to invest in a separate pushchair for toddlers. You can choose from a range of colors to suit your style.
