What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or a pushchair) is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of comfort, safety and style to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

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

Comfort

You want your baby to feel comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your child does not feel anything.

All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby to lay flat. This is important for newborns as it improves oxygenation and strengthens their spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position once your baby is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that offers a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It is smooth and has curved lines, a bucket-shaped seat, that doesn't recline to a flat position however, it does come with an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, weighing under 8kg. However, it still is sturdy and has grained leather details and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great choice to consider if you're looking to buy something 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 has an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a new parent, we'd recommend considering the travel stroller system bundle that includes a pram and pushchairs car seats seat that are attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby out of the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is perfect for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram for travel that can be converted easily from a'pramette' lying flat into a toddler-friendly pushchair, compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram should have a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is 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 your harness to ensure that they are not cracked and have signs of wear. Each year, many children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by prams travel system and strollers. Tipping over is the primary cause of these injuries. Even the strongest prams can tip over when you strap your bags onto 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 involves falling from a pram or stroller. If a baby's harness isn't secured correctly it could cause them to fall out of the stroller, causing neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always clicked into place.

Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from the sun in both directions. This is a great feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby up when you are changing their position in the pram or while you go in and out of shops. There are other features that could be useful, such as snacks for your child or toddler and drink holders. There's also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them within reach. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep and this may cause them to fall off the stroller or pram and can lead to suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib. It should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you dismantle them to fit them into the boot of your car so it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before you purchase one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the various sections back together and then click to put them back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to endure a long time of wear. You should ensure that your pram can handle the mud of a walk as well as a variety of car trips. You should ensure that your pram is a color or pattern that isn't prone to fading so that you don't appear as if you've slipped out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed of high-quality materials and are built to last, so you should look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an effective suspension system. The top prams have a compact stroller fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not when not in use.

All prams on this list allow babies to lay flat, which is essential for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their spine and hips. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some have a carrycot or a reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on as your child grows.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a travel set that is a complete bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. Our tester for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month old son. It has an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your baby at the touch of one button. This lets you keep eye contact with them and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be transformed from a single pushchair into a double with 30 different configurations. It also features sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap however, it can be used for more than one child if you need to. Like our top pick iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its included carrycot, it can be used right from birth.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lie flat as possible. This will aid in their development and improve oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models allow an all-flat position by using a carrycot that can be fully reclined, whereas others have a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old daughter. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her infant at the touch of a button to keep him in view and still maintain closeness and eye contact.

It's a great choice for those that want to nip around town easily as the frame is an ideal size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres allow you to move it off the road and onto rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future since it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's ideal for infants as it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. You can even fold it by putting the carrycot in place - something that not all prams can do, so it's a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are all features you would expect to see on a high-end model, but the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver around various terrains. This is an excellent choice when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets and crowded paths frequently. Although it's not cheap, the quality and versatility of this stroller mean that it can save you money in the end by avoiding the need to invest in a separate toddler pushchair. It's available in a wide range of colors, as well, so you can pick one that matches your personal style.
