What Makes Good Prams?
A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or sling, is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking fun for all the family members.
The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller travel for newborns and 3-year-old children. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.
Comfort
If you're out and about with a baby, you'll want to ensure that they're safe. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure that your baby does not feel anything.
All the prams in this guide allow your baby lie flat. This is essential for newborns since it improves oxygenation and helps support their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your baby is capable of sitting up.
For a really high-end experience it's the Venicci egg2 has a cosy cocoon feel for your newborn with smooth, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it still is sturdy and has finely textured leather and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.
If you're looking for something more affordable, but with the same style, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, but it does have a huge storage basket. It also has an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and protected.
If you're the first parent of your child we suggest you look into a travel system bundle that includes a pram and a car seat that attach to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby out of the car to the pram without waking them and is ideal for parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram that can convert easily from a lie-flat 'pramette into a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.
Safety
A pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps that could trap their legs or heads. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Each year, many children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The most common reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you hang bags to the handles or if the 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 off a pram or stroller. If a child is not securely secured in the pram, they could fall out of the pram and suffer head or neck injuries. It is therefore essential to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the correct position.
A few good prams also come with an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in either direction. This is a handy feature since you will not be having to wake your child awake when you change their position in the pram or when you are into and out of shops. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you are not using it.
Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram if you are not within sight. Babies are susceptible to wiggle while asleep, which could cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a crib and should be used only for short periods of time during the day.
It is essential to disassemble the majority of prams to put them in the trunk of your car. This procedure should be familiarised with before you purchase a pram. Find out how easy it will be to put the pieces back together.
Durability
A pram should be durable enough to endure many years of wear and tear. This includes surviving walking in the rain and many car journeys, so you must ensure your choice is able to fulfill the tasks you require it to. Also, you want your pram to come in an image or color that won't date quickly so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of style.
The best prams are made from high-quality materials and are built to last, so look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The best prams will also have a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or in the boot when not in use.
All the prams in this list allow babies to lie flat, which is crucial for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their spine and hips. A lot of these prams are designed to expand with your child's. Some have carrycots, or a fully-reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on when your child is outgrowing them.
If you are considering buying a pram for the first time, a travel system that has a carrycot and car seats could be a good idea. Our tester for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month-old son. It has an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your baby with 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 and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be converted from a single pushchair to double, with 30 different configurations. It also has sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not inexpensive however, you can use it with multiple children if necessary. Similar to our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included can be used as early as.
Style
Newborns need to lay flat as often as they can in order to promote development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, which is why it is essential that all prams allow this. Some models create a completely flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot, while others have the seat that can recline to an unflat position.
The Graco Near2Me features the latter feature, and it's fantastic in this regard as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her 10-month-old son. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her baby at the push of a button to keep him in view, while still maintaining eye contact and closeness.
This frame is perfect to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof wheels allow you to take it off the road or on rough terrain. It's a great choice when you are planning to have a child in the future because it can easily be converted from a single pushchair into a double or twin.
The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a premium, stylish option. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with a car seat when you purchase it separately. It can be folded using the carrycot as a stand which is something isn't the case with all prams, so it's a time-saving and hassle-free feature.
Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are all the features you'd expect to find on a premium pram and its sleek design makes it easy to handle on a variety of terrains. This is a great option when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded pathways frequently. Although it's not cheap but the quality and versatility of this pram mean that it can save you money over the long term by eliminating the need to buy a separate pushchair for toddlers. It's available in a broad variety of colors, too, so you can choose one that fits your personal style.
