What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or a sling, is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of safety, comfort, and style to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

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

Comfort

Your baby should feel comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your little one doesn't feel a thing.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lay flat. This is important for newborns as it improves oxygenation and supports their hips and spine. They also come with a seat that can be converted to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It is smooth and has curvaceous lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into an upright position however it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, weighing under 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with grained leather details and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you want something less expensive but with the same design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The stylish, one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight than some of the other prams we tested but it has an impressively large storage basket and extended hood with UPF50+ protection, which will keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent, we recommend that you look into a travel stroller system that includes a car seat and pram that are attached to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to transfer their child from the car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram that can convert easily from a lie-flat 'pramette to a pushchair for toddlers that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps that could trap their heads or legs. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. You should also inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized every year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a wriggling child gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

Another reason for injuries is falling from the stroller or pram. If the harness of a baby isn't secured correctly it could cause them to fall out of the stroller, causing neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to make sure that the harness buckle is always clicked into place.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from sun in any direction. This feature is beneficial because you won't have to wake your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you go into and out of stores. There are also other features that are useful, such as a snack tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. There's also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being within sight. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and this could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to strangulation and suffocation. A pram or compact stroller is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for short periods of time during the day.

The majority of prams require you take them apart in order to put them in the boot of your car so it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this process before you buy one. Also, check how easy it is to get the various sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be durable enough to withstand many years of wear and wear and tear. This includes the need to endure walking in the rain and many car journeys, which is why you need to ensure that your choice is able to perform the task you want it to. You should ensure that your pram is in a colour or print that will not date easily so that you don't appear as if you've slipped out of fashion.

The best prams will be constructed of top-quality materials and built to last. You should look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and an effective suspension system. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or the boot of your car.

All the prams on this list allow babies to lay flat, which is vital for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their spine and hips. A lot of them are designed to adapt to your child's needs and some having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be clicked off and on the frame for when your child outgrows it.

If you're looking to purchase a brand new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a travel system which is a bundle that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a clever feature that raises and lowers your child with the click of a button so you can keep eye contact and keep them close which she said was really important for her son 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 babies Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that can be converted from a single to a double pushchair with 30 different configurations, and comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not expensive, but you can use it for multiple children, if needed. Like our top pick, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included is a great option to use right from birth.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lie flat as possible. This will help with their development and boost oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models allow a completely flat position using a fully reclineable carrycots, while others have seats that recline to a flat position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter feature and is fantastic at what it does as our tester for parents Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son of 10 months. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise and lower her baby at the press of a button, keeping him in the view of others while maintaining eye contact and closeness.

This frame is perfect for nipping around town and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's a great option for those who plan to have a child in the future, as it can easily be transformed from a single pushchair a twin or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It's ideal for babies since it includes a carrycot which can lie flat and it's compatible with a car-seat when purchased separately. It can be folded using the carrycot as a stand - something that isn't the case with all prams, so it's an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect to find on a high-end model However, the sleek frame makes it simple for you to maneuver on different terrains.
