What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a stroller, triple pushchair or sling, is the primary form of transport for babies and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns to 3-year-old children. Its reversible handle allows you to rotate the seat so that your child can look at either you or the world around them.

Comfort

If you're out and about with your baby, you'll want to be sure they're comfortable. The good news is that there are prams specifically designed to ensure your little one isn't apprehensive.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all allow your baby to lay flat, which is important for infants as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and supports their developing hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

For a truly luxurious experience this Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that does not recline to a lying-flat position, but it does have an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, at a weight of just 8kg. But it is sturdy and has 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 at a lower price. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite 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 to keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you are new to parenting we suggest that you consider a travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that can be attached to the same frame. This allows parents to move their child from the car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is an elegant and practical pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco iSize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It must also be free of gaps in which their heads or legs are likely to get caught. The straps should be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and show signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised each year because of pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the main cause of these injuries. Even the strongest prams can topple if you hook your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling or squirming and falls into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

A common cause of injury involves falling from a pram and car seat, or stroller. If a baby's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall from the stroller, causing neck or head injuries. This is why it is important to make sure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from sun in both directions. This is a handy feature as you can avoid 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 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 locks into position when you are not using it.

You should never let a child sleep in their stroller unless they are in their sight at all times. Babies are prone to wiggle during sleep and can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as an alternative to a crib. It should only be used for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you disassemble them in order to put them in the trunk of your car therefore it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before you purchase one. Also, consider how it is simple to put the various sections back together and click them in place.

Durability

A pram needs to be durable enough to endure many years of wear and tear. You should ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle muddy walks and also multiple car trips. It is also important for your pram to be in a print or colour that isn't prone to fading quickly so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The most reliable prams are made of high-quality materials, and designed to last. Look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and a well-designed system of suspension. The most reliable prams have a compact travel stroller fold, so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not when not in use.

All prams on this list allow your baby to lay on their backs. This is essential for infants because it aids in the development of their hips and spine, and boosts oxygen levels. Some are made to grow with your child with some featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and back on the frame when your child is no longer using it.

If you are buying a pram for the first time, a travel system that comes with a carrycot and a car seat may be worth a look. We love the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This allows you to keep eye contact with the baby and keep them in close proximity.

Another alternative is another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two kids, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be transformed from a single pushchair to a double with 30 different configurations. It also has sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap, but you can use it for more than one child, if you need to and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as often 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 provide a flat position using a fully reclineable carrycots, while others have a seat that reclines to a flat position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for the latter as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old daughter. She was thrilled that she could raise and lower her baby at the touch of a button to keep him in sight, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

This frame is perfect for nipping around town, and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off the road or on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice if you plan to have another child in the future because it can easily be transformed from a single pushchair to a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for infants as it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats when you purchase it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place, which is an option that not all prams have. This is time-saving and makes it simpler to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are the kinds of features you'd expect to find on a pram of the highest quality, but its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver on any terrain. This is a great choice for those who live in the city and must navigate narrow streets or crowded walkways on a regular basis. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money over time by avoiding the need for an additional stroller for your toddler. It's available in a broad variety of colors, too, so you can choose one that suits your personal style.
