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 safety, comfort and style that makes walking fun for all the family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for children from newborns to three years old. The adjustable handle can be turned around to allow you to turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your child to be at ease when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure that your baby doesn't feel a thing.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lay flat. This is important for babies as it increases oxygenation and strengthens their hips and spine. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position when your baby is able to sit up.

For a truly luxurious experience, the Venicci egg2 provides a warm feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seats that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position but does have padding on the liner and mattress. It's also a little lighter than most prams on the market at less than 8kg, but it has solid chassis and grained leather accents and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can be used in more rural environments.

The Minu V2 is a great choice when you're looking for a model that has a similar appearance but at a price that is lower. The stylish one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as the other prams we tried but it has an impressively big storage basket and an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection that'll keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a first time parent, we recommend you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that are 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 lie-flat 'pramette into a toddler-friendly pushchair pram, compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It must also be free of gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. It is also important to check the harness buckles to ensure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are admitted to hospitals every year due to injuries from strollers or prams. The most common cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the strongest prams can tip over if you hook bags onto the handles, or if a wriggling child is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

Another reason for injuries is falling from the stroller or pram. If a baby's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. It is therefore essential to make sure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into place.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in both directions. This is a useful feature as you can avoid having to wake your child up when you are changing their position in the pram or when you go in and out of shops. There are other features that could be useful, such as a snack tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. You can also find an extra shopping basket under the seat.

You should never leave a child sleeping in their stroller unless they are in their sight at all times. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this may cause them to fall off the stroller or pram and could result in strangulation or suffocation. A pram or a stroller is not a substitute for the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you dismantle them to fit them into the trunk of your car therefore it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this process before you purchase one. Also, check how easy it is to get the various sections back together before putting them in place.

Durability

A pram must be able endure a long time of wear. You should ensure that your stroller can withstand muddy walks and also multiple car trips. You also want your stroller to have the form of a color or print that won't date quickly to avoid looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and have been designed to last. So, look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels and a well-designed suspension system. The best prams will also have a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not in use.

All the prams in this list allow the baby to lay on their backs. This is crucial for infants because it aids in the development of their hips and spine and boosts oxygen levels. A lot of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some have a carrycot or a reclined seat that can be easily removed and put back on as your child grows.

If you are buying a pram for the very first time it is recommended to consider a system that comes with the carrycot as well as a car seat may be worth a look. Our parent tester Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month old son. It comes with an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your baby by pressing one button. This allows you to keep eye contact with them and keep them close.

Another option is another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be transformed from a single pushchair double in 30 different configurations. It also has the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap, but you can use it for more than one child if you need to. And like our winner model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot, it can be used right from birth.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lay as flat as they can. This will help with their development and improve oxygen levels in the lung. Some models create a completely flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot, while others have a seat that reclines to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter feature, and it's fantastic at that as our tester for parents Jaya found when she tested it with her son of 10 months. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her baby at the push of a button, keeping him in sight, while still maintaining eye contact and closeness.

It's a great choice for those who want to get around town easily as the frame is a great size for maneuvering, and 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 can easily be converted from a single pram to a twin stroller or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for infants as it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. It can be folded with the carrycot in place - something that isn't the case with all prams, so it's an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are things you would expect to see on a premium model, but the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver around different terrains. This is an excellent choice if you live in the city and must navigate narrow streets or crowded pathways regularly. The babiie pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and quality could save you money in the long run by avoiding the need for a separate toddler stroller. It's available in an extensive range of colors, too, so you can pick one that suits your personal style.
