What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a pushchair or stroller) is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and design that makes walking enjoyable for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic pram for newborns up to 3 year old kids. Its reversible handle allows you to tilt the seat so that your child can face either you or the world around them.

Comfort

Your baby should be comfortable when you're out with them. 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 allow your baby to lay flat, which is crucial for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and assists in the development of their spine and hips. They also have a seat which can be transformed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that has a cocoon-like feeling for your baby. It is smooth and has curvaceous lines and a bucket-shaped seat which does not recline into flat, but it does have padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also lighter than most prams available at less than 8kg but has a sturdy chassis and grained leather details and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can be used in more rural environments.

If you're looking for something more affordable, but still with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight than some of the other prams we tested however it comes with a large storage basket and extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're new to parenting we suggest 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 into the pram without waking them and is ideal for parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical pram for travel that can be converted easily from a lie-flat 'pramette' to a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and free of any gaps to trap their heads or legs. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. Also, you should inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year due to injuries from strollers or prams. The most common reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without the harness being secured.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling off the pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into place.

Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from sun in either direction. This feature is useful since you don't need to wake 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 infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and the handlebar can be locked into place when you are not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram without being within sight. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this may cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and cause suffocation or strangulation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as a substitute for the crib. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

Most prams require you to take them apart in order to fit them into the trunk of your car so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the process before you purchase one. Also check how it is simple to put the various sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be durable enough to endure many years of wear and wear and tear. This includes the need to endure muddy walks and getting through 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 a colour or print that isn't prone to fading so you don't look as if you've slipped out of style.

The best prams are made from high-quality materials and are built to last, so you should look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The best prams will also have 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 babies to lie flat, which is essential for infants since it increases 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 removed and snapped on when your child is outgrowing them.

If you are buying a pram for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that comes with an infant carrycot and car seats could be of interest. Our tester for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System she 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. This way you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close, which she said was really important to her as the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

Another alternative is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that converts from a single to a double pushchair with 30 possible configurations. It also comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child in the event of need and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as often as they can to help develop and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs. Therefore, it's important that all prams permit this. Some models provide a flat surface with a fully-reclinable carrycots, while others have the seat that can recline to an unflat position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old daughter. She was thrilled that she could raise or lower her little one with the touch of a button and keep him in view and still maintain eye contact and closeness.

It's a great stroller for those that want to get around town easily as the frame is a great size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres let you remove it from the road and into rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for those who plan to have a child in the future, as it can easily be converted from a single pushchair a twin or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's ideal for babies as it includes a carrycot which can lie flat and it's compatible with car seats when purchased separately. You can fold it with the carrycot in place - something that not all prams can do and is an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabric as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are all features you'd expect on a high-end model however, the sleek frame makes it simple for you to maneuver on diverse terrains. This is a great option for those who live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded paths frequently. Although it's not inexpensive but the quality and versatility of this foldable pram will save you money in the end by avoiding the need to purchase an additional pushchair for toddlers. You can pick from a wide range of colors that will fit your personal style.
