What Makes Good Prams?

A pram for newborn (the full report) (also known as a stroller or pushchair cheap) is the primary mode of transportation for babies and toddlers. A great pram combines safety, comfort and design that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns to 3-year-old kids. 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 baby to be at ease when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your child does not feel anything.

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

For a really high-end feel this Venicci egg2 has a cosy cocoon-like feel for your baby with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but has padding on the liner and mattress. It's also a little lighter than most prams available at less than 8kg but has a sturdy chassis and grained leather detailing and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can take on more rural settings.

The Minu V2 is a great choice when you're looking for a model with a similar look but for a lesser price. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as light as other prams, but it does have a huge storage basket. It also comes with an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent We suggest you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that are attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to transfer your child from the car to the pram without waking them and is ideal for parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette,' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and secure. It should not have any gaps that could trap their legs or head. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Every year, a large number of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The primary cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams can topple when you strap your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling or squirming and falls in or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another common cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If the harness of a baby isn't secured correctly, it could cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. It is therefore essential to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the proper position.

Some prams have an adjustable shade that can be used to shield your baby in either direction from the sun. This is a useful feature since you will not be having to wake your child up when you are changing their position in the pram or while you go to and from the shops. There are other features that can be useful, for example a snack tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. There's also a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

It is not advisable to leave a sleeping child in their pram unless you are in their sight at all times. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep, which can cause them to slide off the pram or stroller and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you dismantle them to put them in the trunk of your car so it's an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with this process before you buy one. Also check how easy it is to get the different parts back together and then click them into place.

Durability

A pram sets must be durable enough to endure several years of wear and wear and tear. You need to ensure that your stroller can withstand the mud of a walk, as well as multiple car trips. You should ensure that your stroller is in a color or pattern that will not date easily so you don't look as if you've slipped out of fashion.

The most reliable prams are made of high-quality materials, and built to last. You should look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams will also feature a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not in use.

All prams on this list allow infants to lie flat, which is essential for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their spine and hips. A lot of these prams are designed to grow along with your child. Some have carrycots, or a reclined chair that can be snapped on and off as your child grows.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you may also be looking for a travel system that is a complete package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. Our test-driver for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a clever feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button so you can keep eye contact and keep them close which she claimed was important to her since the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be converted from a single pushchair into double, with 30 different configurations. It also has sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not expensive but you can use it for multiple children if necessary. And like our winner, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included, it can be used right from birth.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie flat as possible. This will help with their development and improve oxygen levels in the lung. Some models allow a completely flat position by using a carrycot that can be completely reclined, while others have a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for both, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old child. She loved the ability to raise or lower her child with a push of an button, keeping him in the same position and still maintain eye contact and proximity.

The frame is ideal for city trips and the puncture-proof wheels permit you to drive it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a great option if you're thinking of having a second child in the future since it is able to convert from a single pram into a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's suitable for babies since it includes a carrycot which can lie flat and it's compatible with a car seat when purchased separately. It can be folded while the carrycot still in place, which is something that not all prams have. This saves time and makes it more convenient to use.
