What Makes Good Prams?

A foldable pram, also referred to as a stroller, pushchair or Sling, is the main method of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends 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 up to 3 year old kids. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

Your baby should be comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams to make sure your baby doesn't feel any discomfort.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lie flat, which is important for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen levels and assists in the development of their hips and spine. They also have seats which can be transformed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram that offers a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It features smooth, curvaceous lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into a flat position, but it does have padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also a little lighter than most prams available at under 8kg but still has solid chassis and grained leather details and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can be used in more rural environments.

If you want something less expensive but still with the same style, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The swish-looking one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight than some of the other prams pushchairs prams we've tested but it does have a large storage basket and extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're new to parenting we suggest that you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat as well as a pram that are attached to the same frame. This will make it easier to get your baby from the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for busy parents on the go. 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 pushchair for toddlers that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram should have a five point safety harness to keep your baby safe and free of any gaps that could trap their legs or head. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on your harness to make sure they're not damaged and show signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. The primary cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most robust prams could fall over if you hang bags to the handles or if a wriggling child is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

A frequent cause of injury is falling from a pram, or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not fastened properly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the harness buckle is always locked in place.

Some Good Prams, Mondigo.Ru, also have a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from the sun in any direction. This feature is helpful 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 shops. There are also other features that are useful, such as an eating tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. There's also a shopping basket underneath the seat.

It is not advisable to let a child sleep in their stroller unless they are within their reach at all times. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping, which can cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is necessary to disassemble the majority of prams to put them in the boot of your vehicle. This process must be mastered before you buy one. Check how easy it will be to put the parts back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to last through several years of wear and wear and tear. You want to make sure that your baby's pram is able to handle muddy walks, as well as multiple car trips. You want to make sure that your pram is a color or pattern that will not date easily so you don't look like you've lost style.

The best prams are constructed of top-quality materials and are designed to last. You should look for durable fabrics with sturdy tires, as well as a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams are compact and fold easily, allowing you to put them in your garage or even the boot.

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

If you are considering buying an infant stroller for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that includes both an infant carrycot and a car seat could be a good idea. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has a nifty feature that can raise or lower your child at the push of a button so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she described as being important to her as he was at an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two kids Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that can be converted from a single pushchair to a double pushchair with 30 possible configurations and features premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proof tyres. It's not cheap, but you can use it for more than one child in the event of need and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the included carrycot.

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 a completely flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycots, while others have the seat that can recline to an unflat position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for the latter as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her child who was 10 months old. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her baby with a push of an button, keeping him in sight while maintaining closeness and eye contact.

It's a great pram for those who wish to nip around town without hassle since the frame is a great size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to take it off road and into rough terrain. It's also a smart option if you're thinking of having a second child in the future because it easily converts from a single pram to a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for babies as it comes with a carrycot that can be rolled flat and is compatible with a car-seat when purchased separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place This is an option that not all prams offer. This saves time and makes it simpler to use.

The pram's luxurious fabric large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect on a high-end model, but the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver over diverse terrains. This is a great choice if you live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or congested pathways regularly. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this pram mean that it can save you money over the long term by not having to buy a separate pushchair for toddlers. It's available in a wide selection of colors and you can choose one that suits your personal style.
