What Makes Good Prams?A pram (also known as a pushchair or stroller) is the most popular form of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking fun for all the family members.
The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns to 3-year-old children. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.
Comfort
If you're out and about with your baby, you need to ensure they're secure. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your child doesn't feel a thing.
All prams featured in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is important for newborns as it improves oxygenation and helps support their spine and hips. They also come with a seat that can be changed to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit.
For a really high-end experience it's the Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position but does have an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than most prams on the market at less than 8kg, but it has solid chassis and grained leather accents and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to take on more rural settings.
The Minu V2 is a great choice to consider if you're looking to buy something that has a similar appearance but for a lesser price. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams but it does have a huge storage basket. It also has an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and protected.
If you're a first-time parent we suggest you look into the pushchairs travel systems system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to move their child from the car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical travel system pram that converts easily from a lie-flat 'pramette' 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 secure and should not allow any gaps that could trap their legs or heads. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on your harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year because of injuries caused by strollers or prams. The most common 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 child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without the harness being properly secured.
Another frequent cause of injury is falling from the pram or stroller. If a child's harness isn't secured correctly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the harness buckle is always secured.
Some prams with good quality also have a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from sun in either direction. This is a handy feature since you will not be having to wake your child awake while you change their position in the pram or while you go in and out of shops. There are other features that can be useful, such as a snack tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. You can also find an extra shopping basket under the seat.
Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram if you are not in sight. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping, which could cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the day.
It is necessary to disassemble the majority of prams to fit them in the boot of your vehicle. This process is something you should know before you purchase a pram. Consider how easy it would be to put the parts back together.
Durability
A pram needs to be durable enough to withstand several years of wear and wear and tear. This includes surviving walking in the rain and numerous car journeys, so you must ensure your choice can do the job you need it to. It is important to ensure that your pram is the right color or design that will not date easily so you don't look like you've fallen out of fashion.
The most reliable prams are constructed of top-quality materials and designed to last. Look for durable fabrics with sturdy tires, as well as an efficient suspension system. The best travel pushchair prams will also feature a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or boot when not in use.
All the prams in this list allow babies to lie down flat. This is essential for babies, as it helps them develop their spine and hips and improves oxygenation levels. Many are designed to adapt to your child's needs with some having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be moved on and off the frame for when your little one outgrows it.
If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you might also be interested in a travel set that is a complete bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. Our parent tester Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month old son. It has an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your child with the touch of a single button. This allows you to keep your eyes on the baby and keep them in close proximity.
The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pushchair that converts from a single to double pushchair and has 30 possible configurations. It also comes with premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child if needed and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the included carrycot.
Style
All prams should permit newborns to lie flat as possible. This will help with their development and improve oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using a carrycot that can be completely reclined, while others have a seat which can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.
The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature and is fantastic at what it does as our parent facing pram tester Jaya found when she tested it with her son who was 10 months old. She loved that she could raise or lower her child by pressing an button, keeping him in sight, while still maintaining the eye contact and closeness.
