What Makes Good Prams?

A babiie pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a sling, is the primary method of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort, and style to make walking enjoyable for all the 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 to rotate the seat so your child can either 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 little one isn't apprehensive.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all allow your baby to lay flat, which is essential for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen levels and helps support their growing spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to an upright position when your baby is able to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram with a cocoon feel for your baby. It is smooth and has curved lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into flat however it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also a little lighter than the majority of prams on the market at under 8kg but still has solid chassis and grained leather accents, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof, and can take on more rural settings.

If you're looking for something less expensive but with a similar style, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The swish-looking, one-hand steer model isn't as light than some of the other prams we've tested however it comes with a large storage basket and the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent we recommend a travel system bundle which includes a pram and car seat that attach 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 travel system is a stylish and functional pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco iSize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It must also be free of gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. The straps must be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also check the harness buckles to ensure they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised each year because of injuries from strollers or prams. The main cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams can 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 common cause of injuries is falling from the stroller or pram. If a baby isn't properly secured, they could fall out of the pram and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some prams have a reversible shade which can be used to protect your baby in both directions from the sun. This feature is helpful because you won't have to wake up your baby every time you change their position in the stroller or when you go in and out of shops. Other handy features include a snack tray and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and the handlebar locks into position when you are not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being within sight. Babies are susceptible to wiggle while asleep and this can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could lead to strangulation and suffocation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a cot and should only be used for short periods during the day.

Most prams require you to dismantle them to put them in the car's boot therefore it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the process before you purchase one. Also, check how easy it is to get the various sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram must be able to last through several years of wear and tear. This includes surviving muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, which is why you want to be sure your choice is able to perform the task you want it to. You also want your pram to be in an image or color that won't date quickly so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.

The best prams are made of high-quality materials, and are designed to last. Look for durable materials, sturdy tires, and a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or boot.

All the prams in this list allow babies to lay on their backs. This is crucial for babies, because it allows them to develop their hips and spine, and boosts oxygen levels. Many of these prams have been designed to grow with your child's. Some have a carrycot or a fully-reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on as your child grows.

If you are buying an infant stroller for the first time you should consider a travel system that includes both an infant carrycot and a car seat may be worth a look. Our parent tester Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month-old son. It has a nifty feature that raises and lowers your baby at the touch of a button so you can keep eye contact and keep them close, which she described as being important to her since he was at an exploratory stage.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie flat as possible. This will aid in their development and boost oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models allow an entirely flat position using the carrycot which is completely reclined, while others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter and it's brilliant at that, as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her son of 10 months. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her child at the touch of an button, keeping him in view while maintaining the eye contact and closeness.
