What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or pushchair) is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A great pram is a combination of comfort, safety and design that makes walking enjoyable for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for infants to 3 years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your child to be at ease when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure that your baby doesn't feel a thing.

All prams featured in this guide let your baby lay flat. This is crucial for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their spine and hips. They also come with a seat that can be converted to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It is smooth and has curving lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which does not recline into flat however it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also 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 able to take on more rural settings.

The Minu V2 is a great option if you're looking for something that has a similar appearance but for a lesser price. The stylish one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as the other prams we've tested however it comes with a large storage basket, as well as an extended hood with UPF50+ protection that'll keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a new parent we suggest you look into a travel system bundle that includes a pram and car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby from the car to the pram without disturbing them and is perfect for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful pram that can convert easily from a lie-flat 'pramette into a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also have no gaps in which their heads or legs are likely to get caught. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on your harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. Many children are admitted to hospitals every year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the strongest prams can topple if you hook your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling and gets into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

A common cause of injury involves falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby is not securely fastened in the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is important to ensure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from the sun in either direction. This feature is beneficial because you won't have to wake your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you enter stores and out. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a shopping basket underneath the seat, and the handlebar locks in place when you're not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram without having them in sight. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this can cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A pram or stroller is not a substitute for a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you take them apart in order to fit them into the boot of your car so it is an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with the process before purchasing one. Consider how easy it would be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to withstand many years of wear and wear and tear. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and numerous car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice is able to fulfill the tasks you require it to. It is important to ensure that your pram is in a colour or print that won't fade easily so you don't look like you've fallen out of style.

The best prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are designed to last. You should look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and a well-designed system of suspension. The most reliable prams have a compact fold, so you can store them easily in your garage or boot when not when not in use.

All prams on this list allow your baby to lay flat. This is crucial for newborns, as it helps them develop their hips and spine, and improves oxygenation levels. Many of these prams have been designed to grow with your child's. Some come with carrycots, or a reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on when your child is outgrowing them.

If you are purchasing an infant stroller for the first time you should consider a travel system that comes with the carrycot as well as car seats could be of interest. Our test-driver for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month old son. It has a nifty feature that can raise or lower your baby at the touch of a button so you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close, which she described as being important for her son as he was in an exploratory stage.

Another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that converts from a single pushchair to a double pushchair car seat with 30 different configurations, and comes with premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proof tyres. It's not cheap but you could use it for more than one child if needed and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the included carrycot.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie as flat as they can. This will aid in their development and improve oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models create a completely flat position using a fully reclineable carrycot while others feature seats that recline to a flat position.

The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter feature, and it's fantastic at what it does, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son who was 10 months old. She loved that she could raise or lower her baby at the touch of an button, keeping him in the same position, while still maintaining eye contact and proximity.

It's a great stroller for those who wish to nip around town without hassle since the frame is an ideal size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to remove it from the road and into rough terrain. It's also a smart option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future since it is able to convert from a single pushchair to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for babies because it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats when you purchase it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place This is a feature that not all prams have. This reduces time and makes it easier to use.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are all the features you'd expect to see on a high-end pram, but its sleek frame makes it easy to handle across a variety of terrains. It's also an ideal choice when you live in a large city and must navigate narrow streets or busy sidewalks frequently. Although it's not cheap but the quality and versatility of this pram make it possible to save you money in the end by eliminating the need to buy a separate pushchair for toddlers. You can pick from a variety of colors to match your personal style.
