What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a pushchair or stroller) is the main form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A well-designed folding pram is a combination of safety, comfort and style to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for children from newborns to 3 years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your child to feel comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams that will ensure your baby doesn't feel any discomfort.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lay flat. This is important for babies as it increases oxygenation and strengthens their spine and hips. They also have seats that can be converted to an upright position once your baby is old enough to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It features smooth, curving lines, a bucket-shaped seat, that doesn't recline to a flat position however it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, weighing under 8kg. But it has a sturdy chassis with finely textured leather and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something less expensive but with the same design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The sleek, one-hand steer model isn't as light as some of the other prams we tested but it has an impressively large storage basket and extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're a new parent we suggest you look into a travel system bundle which includes a pram as well as a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby out of the car into the pram without disturbing them and is ideal for parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional travel system pram that converts easily from a lie-flat 'pramette to a pushchair for toddlers, compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps to trap their legs or head. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Also, you should inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised each year because of injuries caused by strollers or prams. The most common cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you strap your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling or squirming and falls out or in the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another reason for injuries is falling from the pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby isn't secured correctly, it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. It is therefore important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the proper position.

Some prams with good quality also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from the sun in any direction. This feature is helpful because you won't have to wake up your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller, or when you enter and out of shops. There are also other features that are useful, for example a snack tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. There's also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Never leave a sleeping baby pram in a pram without having them within reach. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep and this can cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and could result in strangulation or suffocation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to the crib. It should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you to dismantle them to put them in the trunk of your car therefore it's recommended to familiarize yourself with this procedure before you buy one. Also check how it is simple to put the different parts back together before putting them in place.

Durability

A pram must be durable enough to withstand many years of wear and tear. This includes having to deal with the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, which is why you want to be sure your choice can do the job you need it to. It is also important for your pram to come in a print or colour that doesn't get outdated so that you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They have been designed to last, so look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels, and an efficient suspension system. The top prams feature a compact strollers fold so they are easy to store in your garage or the boot when not in use.

All the prams on this list allow your baby to lie down flat. This is crucial for babies, because it allows them to develop their spine and hips and improves oxygenation levels. A lot of them are designed to grow with your child, with some of them having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be moved 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 has an infant carrycot and a car seat could be a good idea. We love the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a clever feature that allows you to raise and lower your child with the click of a button so you can keep eye contact and keep them close which she described as being important to her since he was at an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be transformed from a single pushchair a double with 30 different configurations. It also comes with sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not inexpensive however, you can use it for more than one child if you need to. And like our winner model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its included carrycot can be used from the moment of birth.

Style

Newborns must lie flat as much as possible to aid development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using a carrycot that can be completely reclined, while others have a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter feature, and it's fantastic at that as our tester for parents Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son of 10 months. She loved that she could raise or lower her baby by pressing an button, keeping him in view, while still maintaining closeness and eye contact.

It's a great pram for those who want to nip around town easily as the frame is an ideal size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres allow you to take it off road and onto rough terrain. It's a great choice for those who plan to have a child in the future, as it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a double pram and pushchair or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with a car seat when you purchase it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place, which is something that not all prams offer. This reduces time and makes it easier to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are all the features you'd expect to see on a high-end pram uk however, its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on any terrain. This is a great choice for those who live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets and crowded walkways frequently. It's not cheap, but its versatility and quality can save you money over time by avoiding the need for a separate toddler stroller. You can pick from a range of colors to suit your personal style.
