What Makes Good Prams?
A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or Sling, is the main form of transport for babies and toddlers. A quality pram combines safety, comfort and design that makes walking enjoyable for all family members.
The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a wonderful pram for newborns up to 3 year old children. The reversible handle lets you to turn the seat so your child can either face either you or the world around them.
Comfort
When you're out and about with a baby, you need to ensure they're secure. There are prams that will ensure that your baby isn't shivering any sensations.
The prams we've picked in this buying guide allow your baby to lay flat, which is important for infants as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and helps support their growing spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your child is able to sit up.
For a luxurious feel, the Venicci egg2 provides a warm feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with finely textured leather and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.
The Minu V2 is a great choice to consider if you're looking to buy something with a similar look but for a lesser price. The swish-looking one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight than some of the other prams we tested but it does have a large storage basket and extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby shaded and protected.
If you're a first-time parent, we recommend you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that attaches to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to move their child from their car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette,' or lie-flat 'pramette, into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.
Safety
The pram should come with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It should also have no gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. The straps must be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not damaged and show signs of wear. Each year, many children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you hook bags onto the handles, or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.
Another common cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If a baby's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always secured.
Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in any direction. This is a useful feature since you will not be having to wake your baby up when you are changing their position in the pram or when you go to and from the shops. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and the handlebar locks into position when you're not using it.
Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram without having them in sight. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and this can cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as a substitute for the cot. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the day.
The majority of prams require you dismantle them to fit them into the boot of your car therefore it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this process before you buy one. Also, check how it is simple to put the different parts back together and then click them into place.
Durability
A pram set needs to be able to endure several years of wear. This includes the need to endure muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice can perform the task you want it to. You want to make sure that your pram is a colour or print that isn't prone to fading to avoid looking like you've fallen out of fashion.
The best prams are made of high-quality materials and are designed to last. So, look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels and an effective suspension system. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily, allowing you to put them in your garage or the boot of your car.
All prams on this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is crucial for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their spine and hips. Many of these prams have been designed to grow along with your child's. Some have a carrycot, or a fully-reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on when your child is outgrowing them.
If you are purchasing a pram for the very first time, a travel stroller system that comes with a carrycot and a car seat may be of interest. Our test-driver for parents Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a clever feature that raises and lowers your child at the push of a button, so you can keep your eyes on them and keep them close which she claimed was important to her as the baby was still at an exploratory stage.
The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two kids Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be converted from a single pushchair to double in 30 different configurations. It also features the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap but you could use it for more than one child if needed and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the included carrycot.
Style
Newborns must lay flat as often as they can in order to promote development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams support this. Some models create a completely flat position using a fully reclineable carrycot, while others have the seat that can recline to an upright position.
The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for this, as our parent facing pushchair tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old daughter. She loved the fact that she could raise or lower her child with the touch of a button, keeping him in view while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.
The frame is perfect for city trips and the puncture-proof wheels permit you to drive it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a good choice if you're planning on having another child in future since it can easily be converted from a single pram into a double or twin pushchair.
The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels impressive. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with a car seat, if you buy it separately. It can be folded with the carrycot still in place, which is something that not all prams provide. This reduces time and makes it easier to use.
The pram's luxurious fabric, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect to find on a premium model however, the sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver over different terrains. This is a great choice when you live in a city and must navigate narrow streets and crowded paths frequently. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money over time by avoiding the need for a separate toddler stroller. It's available in an extensive selection of colors and you can choose one that suits your personal style.
