What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and design that makes walking fun for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller for newborns and 3-year-old kids. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and around with a baby, you need to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your child isn't apprehensive.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is essential for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and helps support their growing spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

For a really high-end feel this Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon feel for your newborn with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have padding on the mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than the majority of prams available at less than 8kg but has a sturdy chassis and grained leather accents as well as tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof, and can take on more rural settings.

The Minu V2 is a great option when you're looking for a model with a similar look but at a lower price. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as light as other prams but it does come with a large storage basket. It also comes with an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent, we'd recommend considering the travel system bundle that includes a pram and a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to transfer your child from the car into the pram without having to wake them up and is perfect for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette, to a stroller for toddlers compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps that could trap their heads or legs. The straps should be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure that they are not damaged and show signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to injuries from strollers or prams travel system. Tipping over is the most common cause of these injuries. Even the strongest prams can topple when you strap your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and gets in or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

A frequent cause of injury is falling off a pram or stroller. If a baby is not securely secured in the pram, they may fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to make sure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into place.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will protect your baby from sun in either direction. This is a useful feature since you will not be having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram or when you go to and from the shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket underneath the seat, and the handlebar locks in place when you're not using it.

It is not advisable to leave a child sleeping in their pram unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this may cause them to roll off the stroller or pram and can lead to suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a cot and should only be used for short periods of time during the day.

The majority of prams require you to take them apart in order to fit them into the trunk of your car so it's recommended to familiarize yourself with the process before you purchase one. Also, consider how it is simple to put the various sections back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to endure several years of wear. You want to make sure that your stroller can withstand slippery walks and also multiple car trips. It is important to ensure that your pram is a colour or print that won't fade easily to avoid looking as if you've slipped out of fashion.

The most reliable prams are constructed of top-quality materials and are designed to last. Look for durable materials with sturdy tires, as well as an efficient suspension system. The most reliable prams feature a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or in the boot when not being used.

All the prams in this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is essential for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their hips and spine. Many are designed to grow with your child with some having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be moved off and on the frame for when your child outgrows it.

If you're looking to purchase a brand new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a travel system which is an all-in-one bundle that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It comes with an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This allows you to keep eye contact with them and keep them close.

Another option is another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that can be converted from a single pushchair to double pushchair and has 30 possible configurations. It also comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not cheap, but you could use it for more than one child in the event of need and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the included carrycot.

Style

All prams should permit newborns to lie as flat as possible. This will help with their development and boost oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models allow a completely flat position using a fully reclineable carrycot while others feature a seat that reclines to an upright position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her child who was 10 months old. She loved the fact that she could raise and lower her baby at the push of a button, keeping him in sight, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is ideal for nipping around town, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off road or on rough terrain. It's a great option when you are planning to have a second child in the near future because it can easily be converted from a single pushchair twin into a double or twin pushchair.

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

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect on a high-end model however, the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver around diverse terrains. It's also a great option if you reside in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks regularly. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the purchase of a separate stroller for toddlers.
