What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a stroller, pushchair or a Sling, is the main form of transport for babies and toddlers. A great pram combines safety, comfort and design that makes walking enjoyable for all the family members.

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

Comfort

You want your child to be comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your little one does not feel anything.

All prams featured in this guide allow your baby lie flat. This is crucial for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your child is able to sit up.

For a truly luxurious experience, the Venicci egg2 provides a warm feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but has a padded mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than the majority of prams available at less than 8kg but has a sturdy chassis and grained leather accents and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can handle more rugged terrains.

The Minu V2 is a great option if you're looking for something that has a similar appearance but at a price that is lower. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, but it does have a huge storage basket. It also has an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and protected.

If you're a new parent, we'd recommend considering the travel system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that attach to the same frame. This will make it easier to get your baby from the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram that can convert easily from a lie-flat 'pramette' to a toddler-friendly pushchair, compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It must also be free of gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized every year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams can tip over when you hang bags to the handles or if a child is wriggling and gets in or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

Another reason for injury is falling off the pram or stroller. If a child is not securely secured in the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. It is therefore essential to ensure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the proper position.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in both directions. This is a great feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram or while you are to and from the shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and the handlebar can be locked into place when you're not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them within reach. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping and this could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or stroller is not a substitute for a cot and should be used only for brief periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart most prams in order to fit them into the trunk of your car. This procedure should be familiarised with before you purchase a pram. Also, check how it is easy to put the different sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to endure several years of wear. You should ensure that your pram can handle the mud of a walk and also multiple car trips. You want to make sure that your triple stroller is in a color or pattern that will not date easily so you don't look like you've fallen out of style.

The top prams are constructed of high-quality materials and have been designed to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust 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 even the boot.

All the prams on this list allow the baby to lay flat. This is important for infants as it helps them develop their hips and spine, and boosts oxygen levels. A lot of these prams are designed to grow with your child's. Some include a carrycot or a reclined chair that can be snapped on and off when your child outgrows them.

If you are considering buying a pram for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that comes with the carrycot as well as a car seat may be a good idea. Our tester for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month-old son. It has a nifty feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button, so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she described as being important for her son as he was in an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be converted from a single pushchair to double in 30 different configurations. It also comes with a sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. 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 with the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as often as possible to aid development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams support this. Some models provide a flat position using a fully reclineable carrycot while others feature a seat that reclines to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature and is fantastic in this regard, as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her son who was 10 months old. She loved the fact that she could raise and lower her little one with the touch of a button to keep him in the view of others and still maintain eye contact and a closeness.

It's a great pram for those who want to nip around town easily as the frame is a good size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres allow you to move it off the road and into rough terrain. It's a great option when you are planning to have a second child in the future since it can be converted from a single pushchair to a twin or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's suitable for babies since it comes with a carrycot that can be rolled flat and is compatible with car seats when purchased separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place This is an option that not all prams offer. This reduces time and makes it more convenient to use.

The pram's luxurious fabric as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are features you would expect to see in a top model however, the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver over diverse terrains. This is a great option for those who live in the city and must navigate narrow streets and crowded pathways frequently. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of a separate toddler stroller. You can pick from a range of colors to match your preferences.
