What Makes good prams (this guy)?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or sling, is the primary method of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram combines safety, comfort and design that makes walking fun for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller for newborns and 3-year-old children. The adjustable handle can be turned around to allow you to turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and around with your baby, you need to be sure they're comfortable. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your child isn't apprehensive.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide allow your baby to lie flat, which is essential for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen levels and supports their developing hips and spine. The seats can be adjusted to an upright position when your baby is able to sit up.

For a luxurious feel, the Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seat that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position but does have an upholstered liner and mattress. It's also lighter than other prams, weighing less than 8kg but has solid chassis and grained leather details, plus air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to be used in more rural environments.

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

If you are a first time parent, we recommend that you look into a travel strollers system package which includes a car seat and pram that are attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby out of the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is ideal for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel pram system is a stylish and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette, or a lie-flat 'pramette' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also have no gaps in which their heads or legs could get stuck. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The main cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams can tip over when you hang your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling or squirming and falls into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

Another common cause of injury is falling from the stroller or pram. If a child's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in both directions. This feature is beneficial because you won't have to wake up your baby when you change their position in the stroller or when you go in and out of shops. There are other features that could be useful, for example snacks for your toddler or child and drink holders. There is also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Do not leave a baby asleep in a pram if you are not in sight. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep and this may cause them to slide off the stroller or pram and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A pram or stroller is not a substitute for a cot and should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you to take them apart in order to put them in the boot of your car so it's recommended to familiarize yourself with this procedure before you buy one. Consider how easy it would be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be durable enough to endure many years of wear and tear. This includes the need to endure muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, so you need to ensure that your choice can fulfill the tasks you require it to. You also want your pram to be in a print or colour that won't date quickly to avoid looking like you've gone out of style.

The most reliable prams are made of high-quality materials, and designed to last. You should look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and an efficient suspension system. The top prams feature a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not being used.

All the prams in this list allow infants to lay flat, which is essential for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their spine and hips. A lot of them are designed to adapt to your child's needs and some having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and on the frame when your child outgrows it.

If you are buying a pram for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that has a carrycot and a pushchairs car seats seat 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 comes with an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your baby with the touch of one button. This lets you maintain eye contact with the baby and keep them in close proximity.

Another alternative 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 foldable pram that can be converted from a single pushchair with car seat into double, with 30 different configurations. It also features the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap but you could 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 using the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns need to lay flat as much as possible to aid development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs, so it's important that all prams permit this. Some models permit a completely flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclinable, while others have a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me has 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 infant at the touch of an button, keeping him in sight while maintaining closeness and eye contact.

This frame is perfect to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off road or on rough terrain. It's a great choice if you plan to have a child in the future because it can easily be transformed from a single pushchair a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's suitable for newborns because it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. You can fold it with the carrycot in place and it's something that not all prams can do which is why it's an efficient and easy feature.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are all the features you'd expect to see on a pram of the highest quality and its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver on a variety of terrains. This is a great option for those who live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded paths frequently. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of an additional stroller for your toddler. It's available in an extensive selection of colors as well, so you can choose one that suits your personal style.
