What Makes Good Prams?

A foldable pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transport for infants and toddlers. A great 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 great pram for newborns up to 3 year old kids. The reversible handle lets you to turn the seat so your child can either face you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and around with a baby, you'll want to be sure they're comfortable. There are prams to ensure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lie flat. This is crucial for babies as it increases oxygenation and helps support their spine and hips. They also come with a seat that can be changed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit.

For a luxurious feel, the Venicci egg2 has a cosy cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seat that does not recline to a lying-flat position but does have padding on the liner and mattress. It's also lighter than most prams available at less than 8kg, but it has an extremely sturdy chassis and grained leather detailing and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to be used in more rural environments.

If you're looking for something more budget-friendly but with a similar design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The swish-looking one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as some of the other prams we've tested but it has an impressively large storage basket, as well as an the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're a new parent, we'd recommend considering a travel strollers system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that attach to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby from the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is perfect for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to trap their legs or heads. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not cracked and have signs of wear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by pushchairs prams and strollers. The primary cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over when you strap your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and falls out or in the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another reason for injury is falling from the stroller or pram. If a baby is not properly secured the pram, they may fall out of the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into place.

Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from the sun in both directions. This feature is useful because you won't have to wake up your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you go in stores and out. There are other features that could be useful, like a snack tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. There is also a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

It is not advisable to leave a child sleeping in their pram unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep, which can cause them to slide off the pram or stroller and can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the day.

Most prams require you to dismantle them to put them in the trunk of your car so it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with this procedure before purchasing one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the different parts back together and click to put them back together.

Durability

A pram must be able to last through many years of wear and tear. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and numerous car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice can fulfill the tasks you require it to. You also want your pram to be in an image or color that won't date quickly to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.

The most reliable prams are constructed from high-quality materials and built to last. You should look for durable fabrics with sturdy tires, as well as an effective suspension system. The best prams are compact and fold easily, so you can store them in your garage or even the boot.

All the prams travel system on this list allow the baby to lie on their backs. This is important for infants because it aids in the development of their hips and spine and improves oxygenation levels. A lot of these prams are designed to expand with your child's. Some have a carrycot, or a reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on when your child outgrows them.

If you are purchasing an infant stroller for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that comes with the carrycot as well as a car seat could be of interest. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system 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 baby at the touch of one button. This allows you to maintain eye contact with the baby and keep them in close proximity.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two kids Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be transformed from a single pushchair into double, with 30 different configurations. It also comes with 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 in the event of need and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the included carrycot.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie flat as they can. This will help with their development and boost oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models permit 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 it's fantastic at what it does as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son who was 10 months old. She was thrilled that she could raise and lower her child with the touch of a button to keep him in the view of others and still maintain eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is ideal to take a stroll around town, and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a great choice if you're planning on having another child in the near future since it can easily be converted from a single pram into a twin or double pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels luxurious. It is suitable for newborns because it includes a carrycot that can lie flat and it's compatible with a car seat when purchased separately. You can even fold it using the carrycot as a stand - something that not all prams can do, so it's an easy and time-saving feature.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres are all the features you'd expect to see on a premium pram, but its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on any terrain. It's also an ideal choice when you reside in a city and need to negotiate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks regularly. It's 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 a broad selection of colors as well, so you can pick one that suits your personal style.
