What Makes Good Prams?

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

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for children from newborns to three years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

If you're out and about with a baby, you'll want to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your little one isn't apprehensive.

All the prams in this guide allow your baby to lay flat. This is important for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their hips and spine. They also have a seat that can be changed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that has a cocoon-like feeling for your baby. It has smooth, curved lines, a bucket-shaped seat, that doesn't recline to an upright position, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than most prams, weighing less than 8kg but has solid chassis and grained leather accents, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to handle more rugged terrains.

The Minu V2 is a great choice when you're looking for a model with a similar look but at a lower price. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams but it does have a large storage basket. It also comes with an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and shaded.

If you're the first parent of your child we suggest you look into the travel system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby pram out of the car to the pram without disturbing them and is perfect for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram that can convert easily from a lie-flat 'pramette to a pushchair for toddlers compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It should also not have any gaps where their legs or heads are likely to get caught. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not damaged and show signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised each year because of pram or stroller-related injuries. The main reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the strongest prams can tip over if you hook your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling or squirming and falls out or in the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram or stroller. If a child's harness is not secured properly, it could cause them to fall from the stroller, causing neck or head injuries. It is therefore essential to make sure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into the correct position.

Some prams have an adjustable shade that can be used to protect your baby in either direction from the sun. This is a handy feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby up when you are changing their position in the pram, or when you go to and from the shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler stroller, a shopping basket under the seat and a handlebar that locks in place when you are not using it.

You should never leave a child sleeping 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 roll off the stroller or pram and cause strangulation or suffocation. A pram or a stroller is not an alternative to the cot. It should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you to dismantle them to fit them into the car's boot therefore it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this process before you purchase one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the different sections back together before putting them into place.

Durability

A pram should be able to last through many years of wear and tear. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and many car journeys, so you must ensure your choice will fulfill the tasks you require it to. It is important to ensure that your pram bag is a color or pattern that will not date easily so you don't look like you've fallen out of style.

The best prams will be constructed of top-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable materials as well as sturdy tires and an efficient suspension system. The best travel pushchair prams will also feature a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or in the boot when not when not in use.

All prams on this list allow your baby to lie on their backs. This is crucial for babies, as it helps them develop their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. Many are designed to grow with your child and some having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be clicked on and off the frame for when your child outgrows it.

If you are purchasing a pram for the first time you should consider a travel system that has an infant carrycot and car seats could be worth a look. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It is a revolutionary feature that lets you raise and lower your child by pressing a single button. This allows you to keep your eyes on them and keep them close.

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 a double pushchair with 30 possible configurations and features luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy, and puncture-proof tyres. It's not cheap, but you could use it for more than one child in the event of need and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie as flat as possible. This will help with their development and boost oxygen levels in the lung. Some models permit an all-flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclined, whereas others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter and it's brilliant in this regard as our tester for parents Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son who was 10 months old. She was thrilled that she could raise and lower her little one with the touch of a button and keep him in the view of others and still maintain eye contact and closeness.

It's a great stroller for those that want to nip around town with ease as the frame is a great size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres let you move it off the road and on to rough terrain. It's also a great option if you're thinking of having a second child in the future because it easily converts from a single pram into a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that looks and feels impressive. It's ideal for babies because it includes a carrycot which can be rolled flat and is compatible with a car seat if purchased separately. It can be folded while the carrycot still in place It's something that not all prams provide. This reduces time and makes it easier to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are the kinds of things you'd expect on a premium pram and its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver on a variety of terrains. It's also a great choice if you reside in a city and need to negotiate narrow streets or busy sidewalks regularly. While it's not cheap however, the durability and quality of this model make it possible to save you money over the long term by not having to buy a separate pushchair for toddlers. You can pick from a variety of colors to suit your personal style.
