What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or a pushchair) is the main form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of safety, comfort 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 children. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your child to feel comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your child isn't apprehensive.

All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is crucial for newborns as it improves oxygenation and supports their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that offers a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It features smooth, curvaceous lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, that doesn't recline to a flat position however, it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also a little lighter than most prams, weighing less than 8kg but has solid chassis and grained leather detailing, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to take on more rural settings.

If you're looking for something more budget-friendly but with the same design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. 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 extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and protected.

If you are new to parenting we suggest you consider a travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to transfer their baby from their car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram that can convert easily from a'pramette' that lies flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair, compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps that could trap their legs or heads. 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. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to injuries from compact strollers or prams. Tipping over is the primary cause of these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you strap bags to the handles or if the child is wriggling and gets into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling from the stroller or pram shops near me. If a child'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 crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always secured.

Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from sun in both directions. This is a handy feature since you will not be having to wake your child awake when you change their position in the pram or while you are going in and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and a handlebar that locks into position when you are not using it.

Do not leave a baby asleep in a pram without having them within sight. Babies are prone to wiggle while asleep, which can cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram should not be used as a substitute for the crib. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to fit them in the trunk of your car. This process is something you should know before you purchase a pram. Check how easy it will be to put the parts back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. You should ensure that your pram can handle slippery walks as well as a variety of car trips. It is also important for your pram to come in a print or colour that doesn't get outdated so that you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.

The most effective prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are built to last. So, look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels, and an efficient suspension system. The most effective prams are small and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or boot.

All the prams in this list allow a baby to lay flat, which is crucial for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their hips and spine. A lot of them are designed to grow with your child, with some of them featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and back on the frame at a time when your child is no longer using it.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a travel set which is a 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 is a revolutionary feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the touch of one button. This allows you to maintain eye contact with your child and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be converted from a single pushchair a double pushchair with 30 different configurations. It also comes with the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap stroller, but you can use it for multiple children if necessary. And like our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its included carrycot, it can be used right from birth.

Style

Newborns need to lie flat as much as they can to help develop and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, so it's important that all prams support this. Some models allow a completely flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclined, whereas others feature a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter feature and is fantastic at that, as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her son of 10 months. She was thrilled that she could raise or lower her little one with the press of a button, keeping him in sight, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is ideal for city trips, and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future since it is able to convert from a single pram to a double or twin pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels impressive. 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. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place, which is something that not all prams offer. This reduces time and makes it easier to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are the kinds of features you'd expect to find on a premium pram and its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver on any terrain. It's also a great option if you reside in a city and must navigate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks regularly. It's not cheap, but its versatility and quality can save you money over time by avoiding the need for a separate toddler stroller. You can choose from a variety of colors that will fit your personal style.
