What Makes Good best prams?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the main method of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram is a combination of safety, comfort and design that makes walking enjoyable for all the family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for babies to three years old. Its reversible handle allows you to rotate the seat so your child can look at either you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and around with your baby, you'll want to ensure they're secure. There are prams that make sure your baby doesn't feel anything.

All the sale prams in this guide let your baby lay flat. This is important for newborns as it improves oxygenation and strengthens their spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to an upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

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

The Minu V2 is a great option to consider if you're looking to buy something with a similar look but for a lesser price. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as some of the other prams we've tested but it does have a large storage basket and extended hood with UPF50+ protection, which will keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you are a first-time parent, we recommend that you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat and pram that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to move their child from the car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and useful pram store near me that can convert easily from a'pramette' that lies flat to a pushchair for toddlers compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and free of any gaps that could trap their legs or head. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. It is also important to check the harness buckles to make sure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Each year, many children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. The most common cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams could tip over if you hook bags to the handles or if the child is wriggling and gets into or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another frequent cause of injuries is falling from the pram or stroller. If a child's harness is not secured properly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always secured.

Some prams have an adjustable shade that can be used to shield your baby in both directions from the sun. This is a handy feature as you can avoid having to wake your child awake when you change their position in the pram or while you are going in and out of shops. There are also other features that are useful, like a snack tray for your child or toddler and drink holders. There's also a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

It is not advisable to let a child sleep in their stroller unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies tend to wriggle while asleep, which can cause them to fall off the stroller or pram and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram should not be used as a substitute for the crib. It should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart most prams in order to place them into the trunk of your car. This procedure must be mastered before you purchase one. Check how easy it will be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram must be able to last through several years of wear and wear and tear. This includes having to deal with the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, so you need to ensure that your choice will fulfill the tasks you require it to. You also want your pram to be in an image or color that isn't prone to fading quickly so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.

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

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is essential for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their hips and spine. Many of these prams are designed to grow along with your child's. Some have a carrycot or a fully-reclined chair that can be snapped on and off when your child is outgrowing them.

If you are purchasing a pram for the first time, a travel system that comes with the carrycot as well as 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 at the touch of a single button. This lets you keep your eyes on your child and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be transformed from a single pushchair into 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 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 as flat as possible. This will aid in their development and boost oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclinable, while others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for the latter, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her child who was 10 months old. She loved the fact that she could raise or lower her child with the push of a button and keep him in sight and still maintain eye contact and a closeness.

It's a great choice for those who wish to nip around town without hassle since the frame is an ideal size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to remove it from the road and onto rough terrain. It's also a great option if you're thinking of 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 ideal for babies because it comes with a carrycot that can lie flat and it's compatible with car seats when purchased separately. It can be folded with the carrycot in place which is something not all prams can do, so it's a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are the kinds of things you'd expect on a pram of the highest quality, but its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver across a variety of terrains. This is an excellent choice for those who live in the city and must navigate narrow streets or congested paths regularly. While it's not cheap but the quality and versatility of this pram make it possible to save you money in the long run by avoiding the need to purchase a separate toddler pushchair. It's available in a broad range of colors, too, so you can pick one that matches your personal style.
