What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the main form of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of safety, comfort and style to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for infants to three years old. The reversible handle lets you to turn 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 need to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your child doesn't feel a thing.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is important for newborn babies as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and supports their developing hips and spine. They also come with seats that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram that offers a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It has smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shaped seat which does not recline into an upright position however, it does come with an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams on the market at less than 8kg, but it has an extremely sturdy chassis and grained leather detailing as well as tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof, and can handle more rugged terrains.

The Minu V2 is a great choice when you're looking for a model with a similar look but for a lesser price. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams, but it does have a large storage basket. It also has an extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and shaded.

If you are new to parenting, we recommend you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that attaches 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 busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to entrap their legs or heads. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year because of injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the main cause of these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you hook bags onto the handles, or if a child who is wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

Another reason for injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If a baby's harness is not secured properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into place.

Push Chairs And Prams come with a reversible shade that can be used to protect your baby in any direction from the sun. This feature is helpful because you don't have to wake up your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you enter stores and out. There are also other features that can be useful, for example snacks for your toddler or child and drink holders. There's also a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being in sight. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep, which can cause them to slide off the pram or stroller and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as an alternative to the cot. It should only be used for short periods of time during the day.

It is essential to disassemble most prams in order to put them into the trunk of your car. This procedure must be mastered before you purchase one. Also check how it is simple to put the different parts back together before putting to put them back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to last through several years of wear and tear. You want to make sure that your pram can handle muddy walks, as well as multiple car trips. You want to make sure that your stroller is in the right color or design that isn't prone to fading to avoid looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The most reliable prams are constructed of top-quality materials and built to last. You should look for durable fabrics, sturdy tires, and an effective suspension system. The most reliable prams feature a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or the boot when not being used.

All the prams in this list allow a baby to lay flat, which is crucial for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their spine and hips. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some come with carrycots, or a reclined seat that can be snapped on and off when your child is outgrowing them.

If you are buying a pram for the very first time, a travel system that includes both the carrycot as well as car seats could be a good idea. Our test-driver for parents Jaya was a fan of 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 at the push of a button so you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close, which she claimed was important to her since the baby was still at an exploratory stage.





Another option is another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two kids, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be converted from a single pushchair into double in 30 different configurations. It also features the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap however, it can be used for multiple children, if needed. And like our winner model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included, it can be used right from birth.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as much as possible to aid development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs, which is why it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models permit an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclinable, while others have a seat which can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature, and it's fantastic at that as our tester for parents Jaya found when she tested it with her 10-month-old son. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her child with the push of a button to keep him in view while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

It's a great choice for those who want to nip around town with ease as the frame is a good size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres let you remove it from the road and onto rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having another child in future since it is able to convert from a single pushchair to a double or twin pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's ideal for infants as it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with car seats when you purchase it separately. It can be folded with the carrycot still in place, which is something that not all prams provide. This is time-saving and makes it simpler to use.

The pram's luxurious fabric, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are features you'd expect on a high-end model, but the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver over various terrains. It's also a great option for those who reside in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks frequently. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this pram make it possible to save you money over the long term by not having to invest in an additional pushchair for toddlers. You can pick from a variety of colors that will fit your personal style.
