What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transport for infants and toddlers. A great pram is a blend of comfort, safety and design that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for newborns and 3-year-old children. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and around with a baby, you want 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 chosen in this buying guide let your baby lie flat, which is essential for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat increases oxygen saturation and helps support their growing spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram that has a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It has smooth, curvaceous lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which does not recline into a flat position however, it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also a little lighter than other prams available at less than 8kg but has an extremely sturdy chassis and grained leather detailing and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof, and can take on more rural settings.

The Minu V2 is a great option if you're looking for something that has a similar appearance but for a lesser price. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as the other prams we tested but it has an impressively large storage basket, as well as an extended hood with UPF50+ protection that'll keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're new to parenting, we recommend that you look into a travel system that includes a car seat and pram that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to transfer their baby from their car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful pram that can convert easily from a'pramette' lying flat into a toddler-friendly pushchair, compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps that could trap their legs or heads. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and show signs of wear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year because of injuries from strollers or prams. The main reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags to the handles or if a wriggling child is able to get into or out of the seat without the harness being secured.

Another reason for injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If the harness of a baby is not fastened properly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain 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 canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from the sun in either direction. This feature is useful since you don't need to wake up your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller, or when you go in and out of shops. Other useful features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat and the handlebar locks into position when you are not using it.

You should never leave a sleeping child in their stroller unless they are in their sight at all times. Babies are prone to wiggle during sleep and this can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the daytime.

Most prams require you to disassemble them in order to put them in the boot of your car so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the process before you buy one. Also check how easy it is to get the various sections back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram should be able to endure several years of wear. This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, which is why you must ensure your choice will do the job you need it to. You also want your pram to come in an image or color that doesn't get outdated so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.

The best prams are made of high-quality materials and have been designed to last, so look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels, and an effective suspension system. The best prams will also feature a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or the boot when not when not in use.

All the prams on this list allow infants to lie flat, which is vital for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their spine and hips. Many of these prams are designed to expand with your child. Some have carrycots, or a reclined seat that can be removed and snapped on as your child grows.

If you are purchasing an infant stroller for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that has an infant carrycot and car seats 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 clever feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button, so you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close which she claimed was important for her son as he was in an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two kids Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be converted from a single pushchair to double, with 30 different configurations. It also has 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 needed and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns must lay flat as often as possible to aid development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs, so it's essential that all prams support this. Some models permit an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclined, whereas others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her child who was 10 months old. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her little one with the press of a button to keep him in view and still maintain eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is perfect for nipping around town and the puncture-proof wheels permit you to drive it off road or on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice when you are planning to have a second child in the near future, as 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 impressive. It's suitable for newborns because it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat in the event that you purchase it separately. You can fold it by putting the carrycot in place and it's something that not all prams can do, so it's an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are features you'd expect in a top model, but the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver around diverse terrains. This is a great choice if you live in the city and must navigate narrow streets or congested paths frequently. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this model will save you money in the long run by not having to purchase an additional pushchair with car seat for toddlers. You can choose from a wide range of colors to match your preferences.
