What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and design that makes walking fun for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic 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

If you're out and about with your baby, you want to ensure they're secure. There are prams to ensure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide let your baby lie flat, which is crucial for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen levels and supports their developing spine and hips. They also come with seats that can be converted to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a truly luxurious feel, the Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it has a sturdy frame with the grained leather accents and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great choice 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 light as other prams, but it does have a huge storage basket. It also has an extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby protected and shaded.

If you're the first parent of your child we suggest you look into a travel system bundle that includes a pram and a car seat that attach to the same frame. This will make it much easier to transfer your child from the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical travel system pram that converts easily from a lie-flat 'pramette to a pushchair for toddlers compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also not have any gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps must be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. It is also important to inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. Tipping over is the most common cause of these injuries. Even the strongest prams could tip over if you hook bags to the handles or if a child is wriggling and gets out or in the seat before the harness has been tightened.

A frequent cause of injury is falling off a pram or stroller. If a child's harness isn't secured correctly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the correct position.

A few good prams also come with a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from sun in both directions. This is a useful feature because it will prevent having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram, or when you go in and out of shops. There are other features that could be useful, such as an eating tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. There's also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

It is not advisable to let a child sleep in their pram double unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this can cause them to slide off the pram or stroller and cause suffocation or strangulation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for short periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart most prams in order to fit them into the boot of your vehicle. This process is something you should know before you buy one. Consider how easy it would be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to endure several years of wear and tear. You want to make sure that your stroller can withstand the mud of a walk and also multiple car trips. It is important to ensure that your pram is in a colour or print that will not date easily to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and have been designed to last, so look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels and an efficient suspension system. The top prams have a compact fold, so they can be easily stored in your garage or in the boot when not being used.

All prams on this list allow your baby to lay on their backs. This is essential for newborns, as it helps them develop their hips and spine and boosts oxygen levels. Many are designed to grow with your child, with some of them having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be clicked on and off the frame at a time when your child outgrows it.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you might also be looking for a travel system which is an all-in-one bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It is a revolutionary feature that lets you raise and lower your baby at the touch of one button. This allows you to maintain eye contact with your child and keep them close.

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

Style

Newborns should lie flat as much as they can in order to promote development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, which is why it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclined, whereas others have a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter feature, and it's fantastic at what it does as our tester for parents Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son who was 10 months old. She loved the fact that she could raise or lower her little one with the touch of a button, keeping him in view while maintaining eye contact and closeness.

It's a great choice for those that want to nip around town with ease as the frame is a great size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to take it off road and onto rough terrain. It's an excellent choice if you plan to have another child in the future because it can easily be transformed from a single pushchair into a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with a car seat in the event that you purchase it separately. It can be folded while the carrycot still in place It's something that not all prams have. This reduces time and makes it easier to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are all the features you'd expect to see on a premium pram, but its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver on any terrain. This is a great choice when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets and crowded pathways on a regular basis. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for an additional stroller for your toddler. It's available in an extensive selection of colors as well, so you can choose one that suits your personal style.
