What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a stroller, pushchair or a Sling, is the most popular form of transport for babies and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and style to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a wonderful 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 be sure they're comfortable. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your child does not feel anything.

All prams featured in this guide allow your baby to lay flat. This is crucial for newborns as it improves oxygenation and helps support their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram with a cocoon feel for your baby pram. It has smooth, curvaceous lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which doesn't recline into a flat position however it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than the majority of prams on the market at less than 8kg but has a sturdy chassis and grained leather accents, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can handle more rugged terrains.

If you're looking for something less expensive but with a similar style, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as lightweight as other strollers, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also comes with an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent we suggest you look into a travel system bundle which includes a pram and a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This allows parents to move their child from the car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette,' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

The pram should come with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also have no gaps where their legs or heads can get trapped. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. You should also check the harness buckles to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year because of injuries caused by strollers or prams. The most common reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the strongest prams can topple 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 is tightened.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If a baby isn't properly secured the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is important to make sure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams (my company) also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from sun in both directions. This is a great feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram, or when you are in and out of shops. Other handy features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat, and the handlebar locks in place when you are not using it.

It is not advisable to let a child sleep in their stroller unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies are prone to wiggle while asleep and this could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for short periods of time during the day.

Most prams require you to disassemble them in order to fit them into the car's boot therefore it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before purchasing one. Also, check how it is easy to put the various sections back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to withstand many years of wear and wear and tear. This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, which is why you want to be sure your choice can perform the task you want it to. You also want your pram to be in a print or colour that won't date quickly so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The best prams will be made of high-quality materials, and are designed to last. Look for durable materials with sturdy tires, as well as an effective suspension system. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or the boot of your car.

All the prams on this list allow babies to lie on their backs. This is essential for babies, as it helps them develop their spine and hips and improves oxygenation levels. A lot of them are designed to adapt to your child's needs and some featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be moved on and off the frame at a time when your child outgrows it.

If you're looking to purchase a brand new pram for the first time, you may also be interested in a travel set which is an all-in-one bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. Our parent tester Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a handy feature that raises and lowers your child at the push of a button so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close, which she described as being important to her since he was at an exploratory stage.

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

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie as flat as possible. This will help with their development and improve oxygen levels in the lung. Some models allow a completely flat position by using the carrycot which is completely reclined, while others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for the latter, as our parent facing pushchair tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old daughter. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise and lower her little one with the press of a button, keeping him in view while maintaining eye contact and closeness.

The frame is ideal for nipping around town and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having a second child in the 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 premium, stylish option. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat, if you buy it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place This is a feature that not all prams have. This is time-saving and makes it easier to use.

The pram's luxurious fabrics, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are all features you'd expect to find in a top model however, the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver around different terrains. It's also an ideal choice if you reside in a city and must navigate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks regularly. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and quality could save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of a separate stroller for toddlers. You can pick from a variety of colors that will fit your style.
