What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a sling, is the primary form of transport for babies and toddlers. A great pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking fun for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a wonderful pram for newborns to 3-year-old children. The reversible handle lets you to rotate the seat so your child can either face you or the world around them.

Comfort

Your baby should feel comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure that your baby doesn't feel a thing.

All prams featured in this guide allow your baby to lay flat. This is important for newborns since it improves oxygenation and strengthens their spine and hips. They also have a seat that can be converted to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that has a cocoon-like feeling for your baby. It features smooth, curved lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which doesn't recline into flat, but it does have an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. But it has a sturdy frame with grained leather details and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you want something less expensive but with a similar style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The stylish one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight stroller than some of the other prams we've tested but it has an impressively large storage basket, as well as an extended hood with UPF50+ protection, which will keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you are a first time parent, we recommend you consider the travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby out of the car into the pram without disturbing them and is ideal for parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical pram that can convert easily from a lie-flat 'pramette' to a toddler-friendly pushchair, compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps to entrap their heads or legs. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not cracked and have signs of wear. Each year, many children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. Tipping over is the primary reason for these injuries. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you attach bags on the handles, or if a wriggling child can get in or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

A common cause of injury involves falling from a pram, or stroller. If a child is not securely fastened in 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 also have a reversible canopy that will protect your baby from the sun in any direction. This is a handy feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby up when you are changing their position in the pram or when you are into and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler stroller, a shopping basket under the seat, and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you're not using it.

You should never let a child sleep in their stroller unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep, which can cause them to fall off the stroller or pram and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to the crib. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you to disassemble them in order to put them in the trunk of your car so it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before you purchase one. Consider how easy it would be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram must be able endure several years of wear. This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through numerous car journeys, so you need to ensure that your choice can fulfill the tasks you require it to. Also, you want your stroller to have the form of a color or print that doesn't get outdated to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.

The top prams are constructed of high-quality materials and are built to last. So, look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The most reliable prams have a compact fold, so they can be easily stored in your garage or in the boot when not in use.

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is essential for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their hips and spine. Many are designed to adapt to your child's needs, with some of them featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked on and off 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 an all-in-one package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. Our tester for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month-old son. It has an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This lets you keep eye contact with your child and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that converts from a single to double pushchair and has 30 possible configurations and features 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, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lay as flat as possible. This will aid in their development and increase oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models allow for an entirely flat position using a carrycot that can be fully reclined, whereas others have a seat which can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter feature, and it's fantastic at that as our tester for parents Jaya found when she tested it with her son who was 10 months old. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise and lower her little one with the push of a button to keep him in sight, while still maintaining eye contact and closeness.

The frame is perfect to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off the road or on 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 pram 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 comes with a carrycot that can be rolled flat and is compatible with car seats if purchased separately. You can even fold it with the carrycot in place - something that isn't the case with all prams and is a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are the kind of features you'd expect to see on a high-end pram, but its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on a variety of terrains. It's also a great option for those who reside in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or busy sidewalks regularly. While it's not cheap however, the durability and quality of this pram make it possible to save you money in the long run by eliminating the need to invest in a separate toddler pushchair. It's available in an extensive range of colors, and you can pick one that fits your personal style.
