What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a pushchair or stroller) is the main form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A good pram is a blend of safety, comfort and style that makes walking fun for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns up to 3 year old children. The reversible handle lets you to tilt the seat so that your child can either face you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and around 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 isn't apprehensive.

All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby lay flat. This is essential for newborns as it improves oxygenation and helps support their spine and hips. They also come with seats that can be changed to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit.

For a really high-end experience it's the Venicci egg2 has a cosy feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seat that does not recline to a lying-flat position, but it does have padding on the mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than the majority of prams on the market at less than 8kg but has an extremely sturdy chassis and grained leather details as well as tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof and can handle more rugged terrains.

If you want something more budget-friendly but still with the same design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, 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 safe and shaded.

If you're a new parent we suggest you look into a travel system bundle which includes a pram as well as a car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to transfer their child from their car to the pram without having to get them up. 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' to a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also not have any gaps where their legs or heads are likely to get caught. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Each year, many children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by prams and strollers. The most common reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags to the handles or if a wriggling child is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

Another common cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If a child is not securely secured in the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into place.

Some prams have an adjustable shade that can be used to shield your baby in both directions from the sun. This feature is useful because you don't have to wake your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller, or when you go in and out of stores. There are other features that could be useful, such as a snack tray for your child or toddler stroller and drink holders. There's also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

You should never let a child sleep in their stroller unless they are in their sight at all times. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep and this can cause them to fall off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a cot and should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

Most prams require you to take them apart in order to fit them into the boot of your car so it's recommended to familiarize yourself with the process before purchasing one. Consider how easy it would be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram must be durable enough to endure many years of wear and wear and tear. You should ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle slippery walks as well as a variety of car trips. It is important to ensure that your pram is the right color or design that will not date easily so you don't look as if you've slipped out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed of high-quality materials and are designed to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an efficient suspension system. The top prams feature a compact travel pram fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or in the boot when not in use.

All the prams on this list allow your baby to lie on their backs. This is crucial for infants as it helps them develop their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. Many of these prams are designed to grow along with your child's. Some have a carrycot, or a reclined seat that can be snapped on and off when your child is outgrowing them.

If you are buying an infant stroller for the first time you should consider a travel system that has the carrycot as well as a car seat may be of interest. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has a nifty feature that allows you to raise and lower your child at the push 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.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be transformed from a single pushchair double, with 30 different configurations. It also features sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap but you could use it for more than one child if needed and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns should lay flat as much as they can in order to promote development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, so it is essential that all prams support this. Some models provide a flat position using a fully reclineable carrycot, while others have seats that recline to an upright position.

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

It's a great stroller for those that want to get around town easily as the frame is an ideal size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres let you move it off the road and on to rough terrain. It's an excellent choice if you plan to have another child in the near future, as it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a twin pushchairs or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels luxurious. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. It can be folded with the carrycot in place which is something not all prams can do which is why it's a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are the kind of features you'd expect to find on a pram of the highest quality and its sleek design makes it easy to handle on any terrain. This is a great option for those who live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or congested paths regularly. While it's not cheap, the quality and versatility of this stroller will save you money in the long run by not having to buy a separate pushchair for toddlers. It's available in a broad variety of colors, too, so you can pick one that fits your personal style.
