The Three Greatest Moments In Good Prams History

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or pushchair) is the main form of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort, and design to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a wonderful pram for newborns 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 at ease when you're out with them. There are prams that make sure your baby doesn't feel anything.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is important for infants as lying flat improves oxygen levels and assists in the development of their hips and spine. The seats can be adjusted to an upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It features smooth, curving lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, that doesn't recline to a flat position however it does come with an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than many prams, weighing under 8kg. But it has a sturdy chassis with the grained leather accents and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you want something more affordable, but still with the same design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The stylish, one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we've tested but it does have a large storage basket, as well as an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent, we recommend that you consider a travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to transfer their baby from their car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is able to be 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 equipped with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It must also be free of gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. It is also important to inspect the buckles of your harness to make sure that they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised every year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. The main reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you hook bags to the handles or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling from the stroller or pram. If the harness of a baby is not secured properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the correct position.

Some prams with good quality also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from sun in both directions. This feature is useful since you don't need to wake up your baby when you change their position in the stroller or when you enter stores and out. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you're not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them within reach. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this may cause them to roll off the my babiie stroller or pram and can lead to suffocation or strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not an alternative to a cot. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

Most prams require you to disassemble them in order to put them in the trunk 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 different sections back together and click them in place.

Durability

A pram must be able endure a long time of wear. You should ensure that your pram can handle slippery walks and also multiple car trips. You also want your pram to be in an image or color that isn't prone to fading quickly so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of style.

The best prams (click through the next article) are made of high-quality materials and are designed to last. So, look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels and a well-designed suspension system.

All the prams on this list allow your baby to lie down on their backs. This is crucial for infants because it aids in the development of their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. Many are designed to grow with your child, with some of them having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be moved off and on the frame at a time when your little one outgrows it.

This allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keep them close.

It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child if needed and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns should lie flat as much as possible to aid development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs, which is why it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow a completely flat surface with a fully-reclinable carrycot while others feature the seat that can recline to an unflat position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature and is fantastic at that, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her 10-month-old son. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her little one with the touch of a button, keeping him in sight and still maintain eye contact and a closeness.
