What Makes Good Prams?

A folding pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or Sling, is the main mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram is a combination of safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for babies to three years old. The reversible handle lets you to rotate the seat so your child can look at either you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and around with a baby, you'll want to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your child doesn't feel a thing.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lay flat, which is important for infants as lying flat improves oxygen levels and helps support their growing spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position when your baby is able to sit up.

For a really high-end experience, the Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but has padding on the liner and mattress. 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, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can be used in more rural environments.

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

If you're a first time parent We suggest you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for parents who are always on the move. 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 toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It must also be free of gaps where their legs or heads could get stuck. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the main cause of these injuries. Even the strongest prams can fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without the harness being secured.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If a baby isn't securely fastened in, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is important to make sure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams (continue reading this..) also have a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from the sun in any direction. This feature is helpful since you don't need to wake your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you go in stores and out. Other handy features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat, and a handlebar that locks into position when you're not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them in sight. Babies are prone to wiggle while asleep and this could cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram should not be used as an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

Most prams require you to disassemble them in order to put them in the boot of your car therefore it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before you purchase one. Also check how it is easy to put the different sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram must be durable enough to endure several years of wear and wear and tear. You want to make sure that your stroller can withstand muddy walks as well as a variety of car trips. It is important to ensure that your stroller is in a colour or print that won't fade easily to avoid looking like you've lost fashion.

The best prams are constructed of top-quality materials and designed to last. Look for durable materials as well as sturdy tires and an efficient suspension system. The best prams are compact and fold easily, so you can store them in your garage or even the boot.

All prams on this list allow babies to lie on their backs. This is important for infants as it helps them develop their hips and spine, and improves oxygenation levels. Some are made to grow with your child, with some of them featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be moved off and on the frame for when your little one outgrows it.

If you are buying an infant stroller for the first time, a travel system that has the carrycot as well as a car seat could be worth a look. Our tester for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a handy feature that raises and lowers your child with the click of a button, so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close, which she said was really important to her as the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

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

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as often as they can in order to promote development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, so it is essential that all prams allow this. Some models create a completely flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot, while others have the seat that can recline to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter feature, and it's fantastic at what it does, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son of 10 months. She loved the ability to raise or lower her child by pressing a button to keep him in sight, while still maintaining closeness and eye contact.

It's a great pram for those who wish to travel around town easily as the frame is a great size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to move it off the road and into 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 pushchair to a double or twin stroller pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats when you purchase it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place It's a feature that not all prams have. This is time-saving and makes it more convenient to use.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are all features you'd expect to find on a premium model however, the sleek frame makes it easy for you to maneuver on diverse terrains. This is a great choice if you live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded pathways on a regular basis. It's not cheap pushchairs, but its versatility and quality could save you money over time by avoiding the need for an additional stroller for your toddler. You can choose from a range of colors to match your personal style.
