What Makes Good Prams?
A pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or sling, is the primary method of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends comfort, safety and design to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.
The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for infants 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 about with your baby, you want to ensure they're secure. There are prams that will ensure that your baby isn't shivering any sensations.
All prams featured in this guide allow your baby lie flat. This is important for newborns since it improves oxygenation and supports their spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.
For a really high-end experience, the Venicci egg2 provides a warm feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position but does have an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with grained leather details and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.
If you want something more affordable, but with a similar style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as lightweight as other strollers, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also comes with an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.
If you're a first time parent We suggest that you look into the travel system that includes a car seat and pram that can be attached to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer 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 for travel that can be converted easily from a'pramette' that lies flat into a toddler-friendly pushchair compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.
Safety
A pram should have a five point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps to trap their legs or heads. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Also, you should check the harness buckles to ensure that they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized every year due to pram or stroller-related injuries. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you attach bags to the handles or if a wriggling child gets into or out of the seat without the harness being properly secured.
A common cause of injury is falling off a pram or stroller travel. If a baby isn't securely secured in the pram, they may fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always secured.
Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will protect your baby from the sun in both directions. This feature is beneficial since you don't need to wake up your baby when you change their position in the stroller, or when you go into stores and out. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and the handlebar locks in place when you are not using it.
You should never let a child sleep in their stroller unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies are susceptible to wiggle while asleep, which can cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram should not be used as an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the daytime.
The majority of prams require you to disassemble them in order to fit them into the boot of your car so it is recommended to familiarize yourself with this process before purchasing one. Find out how easy it will be to put the pieces back together.
Durability
A pram should be able to last through several years of wear and tear. This includes having to deal with the mud-filled walks and numerous car journeys, so you must ensure your choice will fulfill the tasks you require it to. Also, you want your pram to be in an image or color that doesn't get outdated so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.
The top prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They are designed to last, so look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels and an efficient suspension system. The best prams will also feature a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or boot when not when not in use.
All the prams on this list allow your baby to lay on their backs. This is crucial for babies, as it helps them develop their hips and spine and boosts oxygen levels. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child. Some come with 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 very first time, a travel system that includes both 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 son of 10 months. It is a revolutionary feature that allows you to raise and lower your baby by pressing one button. This allows you to maintain eye contact with your child and keep them close.
Another option is another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair 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 if needed and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the carrycot included.
Style
All prams should permit newborns to lie as flat as possible. This will aid in their development and improve oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models permit an entirely flat position using a carrycot that is completely reclined, while others have a seat which can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.
The Graco Near2Me is a great device for the latter, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old child. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise and lower her child with the push of a button and keep him in sight and still maintain eye contact and a closeness.
The frame is ideal to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof wheels permit you to drive it off road or over rough terrain. It's an excellent choice if you plan to have a child in the future, as it can easily be converted from a single pushchair a double or twin.
The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It is suitable for newborns because it comes with a carrycot that can be rolled flat and is compatible with car seats if purchased separately. It can be folded using the carrycot as a stand - something that not all prams pushchairs can do and is an easy and time-saving feature.
The pram's luxurious fabrics, spacious basket, and puncture-proof tires are features you would expect to see on a premium model, but the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver over diverse terrains. It's also a great choice if you live in a city and need to negotiate narrow streets or busy sidewalks regularly. Although it's not inexpensive but the quality and versatility of this stroller make it possible to save you money in the long run by not having to purchase a separate toddler pushchair. You can pick from a wide range of colors to match your personal style.
