What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the main form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A great pram is a blend of comfort, safety and design that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller for babies to 3 years old. Its reversible handle allows you to turn the seat so your child can look at you or the world around them.

Comfort

If you're out and about with a baby, you'll want to be sure they're comfortable. 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 newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and helps support their growing hips and spine. They also have a seat that can be converted to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.

For a luxurious feel it's the Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. However, it still is sturdy and has finely textured leather and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something less expensive but with a similar style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, 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 are a first-time parent We suggest you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to transfer their child from the car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful pram that can convert easily from a'pramette' that lies flat into a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to trap their legs or heads. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they are not cracked and have signs of wear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by prams and strollers. The primary reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the most robust prams could fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a wriggling child can get in or out of the seat without harnesses being properly secured.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram or stroller. If a baby is not properly secured the pram, they may fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. It is therefore important to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into the correct position.

Some prams with good quality also have a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from sun in both directions. This is a handy feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram or when you go in and out of shops. Other useful features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you're not using it.

You should never leave a child sleeping in their stroller unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies are prone to wiggle while asleep and this could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram sale. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram is not a substitute for a cot and should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is essential to disassemble the majority of prams to fit them into the boot of your vehicle. This process should be familiarised with before you purchase a pram. Also, consider how easy it is to get the different sections back together and click them in place.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to withstand many years of wear and tear. You want to make sure that your baby's pram is able to handle slippery walks, as well as multiple car trips. You want to make sure that your stroller is in the right color or design that isn't prone to fading to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.

The top prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They are designed to last. So, look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an effective suspension system. The top prams have a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or the boot when not being used.

All prams on this list allow babies to lie flat, which is vital for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their hips and spine. Many of these prams have been designed to grow along with your child. Some include a carrycot, or a reclined seat that can be removed and snapped on when your child is outgrowing them.

The Graco Near2Me works great for this as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her child who was 10 months old. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her baby at the touch of a button and keep him in the view of others while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.
