What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or a Sling, is the most popular method of transport for infants and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of safety, comfort and style to make walking enjoyable for the whole 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 rotate the seat so that your child can either face either you or the world around them.

Comfort

If you're out and about with a baby, you need to be sure they're comfortable. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your child does not feel anything.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide all allow your baby to lie flat, which is important for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen saturation and supports their developing spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position once your baby is capable of sitting up.

For a truly luxurious experience this Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon feel for your newborn with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position but does have a padded liner and mattress. It's also lighter than many prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it has a sturdy chassis with grained leather details and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly but with the same design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't 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, which keeps your baby safe and protected.

If you're new to parenting we suggest that you look into the travel system that includes a car seat and pram that are attached to the same frame. This will make it easier to transfer your child from the car into the pram stores near me without disturbing them and is ideal for parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful pram for travel that can be converted easily from a'pramette' lying flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair, compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram must have 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 must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Many children are admitted to hospitals every year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. The primary reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you hook bags to the handles or if a child who is wriggling can get in or out of the seat without the harness being properly secured.

Another reason for injuries is falling from the pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not fastened properly, it could cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is vital to make sure that the harness buckle is always clicked into place.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from sun in either direction. This is a useful feature as you can avoid having to wake your child awake when you change their position in the pram, or when you are to and from the shops. Other useful features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you're not using it.

It is not advisable to leave a sleeping child in their stroller unless you are in their sight at all times. Babies can be prone to wiggle during sleep, which can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as an alternative to a cot. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you to dismantle them to put them in the car's boot therefore it's an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with the process before you buy one. Also check how easy it is to get the various sections back together before putting to put them back together.

Durability

A pram should be able to endure several years of wear. This includes the need to endure the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, so you must ensure your choice is able to do the job you need it to. You want to make sure that your pram is a colour or print that won't fade easily to avoid looking 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, sturdy tires, and an efficient suspension system. The most effective prams are small and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or even the boot.

All the prams in this list allow your baby to lie flat. This is essential for infants as it helps them develop their spine and hips and improves oxygenation levels. Many are designed to grow with your child, with some of them having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked on and off the frame at a time when your child is no longer using it.

If you are considering buying an infant stroller for the first time, a travel system that includes both an infant carrycot and a car seat may be worth a look. Our test-driver for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month old son. It is a revolutionary feature that allows you to raise and lower your child by pressing a single button. This lets you keep your eyes on your child and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be converted from a single pushchair to double, with 30 different configurations. It also has a sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap but it can be used for multiple children if necessary. Like our top pick iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included is a great option to use as early as.

Style

Newborns should lie flat as much as they can to help develop and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using the carrycot which is completely reclined, while others have a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for the latter, as our parent facing pushchair tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her child who was 10 months old. She loved that she could raise or lower her infant at the touch of a button to keep him in view and still maintain eye contact and proximity.

The frame is ideal for city trips, and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having another child in future since it is able to convert from a single pushchair newborn to a double pram pushchair or twin pram pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for babies as it includes a carrycot that can be folded flat and is compatible with a car-seat if purchased separately. It can be folded with the carrycot in place - something that does not happen with all prams which is why it's an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are all features you'd expect to find on a premium model However, the sleek frame makes it easy for you to maneuver on various terrains. It's also an ideal choice if you live in a large city and have to navigate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks frequently. Although it's not inexpensive but the quality and versatility of this model mean that it can save you money in the end by avoiding the need to invest in an additional pushchair for toddlers. You can choose from a wide range of colors to suit your style.
