What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or sling, is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and style to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

Comfort

You want your child to be at ease when you're out with them. There are prams to ensure that your baby isn't shivering any discomfort.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lay flat, which is essential for infants as lying flat improves oxygen levels and assists in the development of their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

For a luxurious feel it's the Venicci egg2 provides a warm feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seats that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but has a padded liner and mattress. It's also a little lighter than most prams available at less than 8kg, but it has a sturdy chassis and grained leather details as well as tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof, and can handle more rugged terrains.

The Minu V2 is a great option when you're looking for a model that has a similar appearance but for a lesser price. The swish-looking, one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as the other prams pushchairs prams pushchairs we've tested however it comes with a big storage basket and an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're a first time parent We suggest that you look into a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby out of the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is perfect for busy parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette, into a stroller that is toddler stroller-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five point safety harness to keep your baby safe and free of any gaps to trap their legs or head. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they grow. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Each year, many children are admitted to hospitals due to injuries caused by prams or strollers. The main reason for these injuries is tipping over. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you attach bags onto the handles, or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being properly secured.

A common cause of injury is falling off a pram or stroller. If a child's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. It is therefore important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the correct position.

Some prams come with a reversible shade that can be used to protect your baby in either direction from the sun. This is a great feature since you will not be having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram bag or while you are going into and out of shops. There are other features that can be useful, such as an eating tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. You can also find an extra shopping basket under the seat.

It is not advisable to let a child sleep in their pram unless you are in their sight at all times. Babies are susceptible to wiggle while asleep and could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to strangulation and suffocation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for brief periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart the majority of prams to put them into the boot of your vehicle. This procedure should be familiarised with before you buy one. Check how easy it will be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram should be able to last through many years of wear and tear. This includes having to deal with the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, which is why you need to ensure that your choice can perform the task you want it to. You also want your pram to come 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 style.

The best prams are made of high-quality materials and are designed to last, so you should look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels, and an efficient suspension system. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily so that you can put them in your garage or the boot of your car.

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is essential for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their hips and spine. A lot of these prams are designed to grow along with your child. Some have a carrycot, or a reclined seat that can be removed and snapped on as your child grows.

If you are buying an infant stroller for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that includes both an infant carrycot and a car seat could be worth a look. We love the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It comes with an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This lets you keep your eyes on the baby and keep them in close proximity.

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 luxury pram that converts from a single to a double pushchair with 30 possible configurations and features premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy and puncture-proof tyres. It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child, if you need to and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie as flat as possible. This will aid in their development and boost oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models permit an entirely flat position using a carrycot that can be completely reclined, while others have a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for both as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old daughter. She loved the fact that she could raise and lower her little one with the push of a button, keeping him in view, while still maintaining eye contact and closeness.

It's a great pram for those who want to get around town easily as the frame is a good size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres let you remove it from the road and into rough terrain. It's also a smart choice if you're planning on having another child in future because it easily converts from a single pushchair to a double or twin pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that looks and feels luxurious. It's ideal for babies because it includes a carrycot which can be folded flat and is compatible with car seats if purchased separately. It can be folded using the carrycot as a stand which is something not all prams can do and is an easy and time-saving feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics large basket, spacious interior, and puncture-proof tires are things you would expect to see on a premium model, but the sleek frame makes it simple for you to maneuver on diverse terrains. This is a great choice if you live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded paths regularly. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this pram will save you money in the end by not having to invest in an additional pushchair for toddlers.
