What Makes Good Prams?

A pram sets, also referred to as a stroller, pushchair or Sling, is the main method of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of comfort, safety and design to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

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

Comfort

When you're out and around 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.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lie flat, which is essential for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen saturation and supports their developing spine and hips. They also come with seats which can be transformed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a truly luxurious feel it's the Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that does not recline to a lying-flat position but does have a padded liner and mattress. It's also lighter than other prams available at under 8kg but still has solid chassis and grained leather detailing as well as tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof and can take on more rural settings.

If you're looking for something a bit more affordable, but with a similar style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as lightweight stroller as other strollers, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also has an extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you are new to parenting, we recommend that you consider a travel system that includes a car seat and pram that attaches to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their child from the car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette,' or lie-flat 'pramette,' into a toddler-friendly babiie stroller compatible with the Graco iSize car seat.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps that could trap their legs or heads. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. It is also important to examine the buckles on your harness to make sure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a lot of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the strongest prams can fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without the harness being properly secured.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If a baby is not securely fastened in the pram, they may fall out of the pram and suffer head or neck injuries. It is therefore essential to ensure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the correct position.

Some prams have a reversible shade which can be used to protect your baby in either direction from the sun. This feature is beneficial because you don't have to wake your baby when you change their position in the stroller or when you enter and out of stores. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket underneath the seat, and the handlebar locks into position when you're not using it.

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

Most prams require you to dismantle them to put them in the car's boot so it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the process before you purchase one. Also, consider how it is easy to put the different sections back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes surviving muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice will fulfill the tasks you require it to. Also, you want your pram to come in an image or color that isn't prone to fading quickly so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of style.

The best prams will be made of high-quality materials, and designed to last. Look for durable materials as well as sturdy tires and an effective suspension system. The top prams have a compact travel pram fold, so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not in use.

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lay flat, which is vital for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their spine and hips. Some are made to grow with your child and some having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked on and off the frame for when your child is no longer using it.

If you are considering buying an infant stroller for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that includes both a carrycot and a car seat could be a good idea. Our tester for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month old son. It comes with a clever feature that allows you to raise and lower your child at the push of a button. This way you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close which she said was really important to her as the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

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

Style

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

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

It's a great pram for those who wish to get around town without hassle since the frame is an ideal size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to move it off the road and onto 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 high-end, stylish option. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place, which is an option that not all prams travel system offer. This reduces time and makes it more convenient to use.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are the kind of features you'd expect to see on a pram of the highest quality, but its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver on any terrain. It's also a great choice when you live in a large city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks frequently. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this pram will save you money in the long run by eliminating the need to buy a separate toddler pushchair. You can pick from a variety of colors that will fit your personal style.
