What Makes Good Prams? A pram (also known as a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A well-designed pram is a combination of comfort, safety and design to make walking enjoyable for the whole family. The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for children from newborns to three years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world. Comfort You want your baby to be comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams that will make sure your baby doesn't feel anything. All the prams in this guide allow your baby lie flat. This is essential for newborns as it improves oxygenation and strengthens their spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up. Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram that has a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It has smooth, curved lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which doesn't recline into an upright position however it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also lighter than other prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it is sturdy and has grained leather details and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof. The Minu V2 is a great option if you're looking for something that has a similar appearance but at a price that is lower. The sleek, one-hand steer model isn't as light as some of the other prams we tried but it does have a large storage basket and extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby safe and shaded. If you're a first time parent, we recommend that you consider the travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without waking them and is ideal for parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is an elegant and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette,' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seat. 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 head. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Also, you should inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a large number of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. The main cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over if you hook your bags onto 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 stroller or pram. If the harness of a baby is not secured properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always locked in place. Some prams have a reversible shade which can be used to protect your baby in both directions from the sun. This is a handy feature because it will prevent having to wake your child awake when you change their position in the pram or while you are to and from the shops. There are other features that are useful, like an eating tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. There is also a shopping basket underneath the seat. Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without having them in sight. Babies are prone to wiggle during sleep, which can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as a substitute for the cot. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the day. It is necessary to disassemble the majority of prams to fit them in the boot of your vehicle. This procedure should be familiarised with before you purchase a pram. Find out how easy it will be to put the pieces back together. pushchairsandprams must be able stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes the need to endure walking in the rain and numerous car journeys, so you must ensure your choice will do the job you need it to. It is also important for your pram to come in the form of a color or print that won't date quickly to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style. The best prams are constructed from high-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable fabrics with sturdy tires, as well as an effective suspension system. The best prams will also feature a compact fold so they are easy to store in your garage or the boot when not in use. All the prams on this list allow your baby to lie down flat. This is crucial for infants because it allows them to develop their hips and spine, and boosts oxygen levels. Some are made to adapt to your child's needs with some featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked on and off the frame at a time when your child outgrows it. If you're looking to purchase a brand new pram for the first time, you might also be interested in a travel system which is an all-in-one bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your child at the touch of a single button. This allows you to keep eye contact with the baby and keep them in close proximity. Another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that can be converted from a single pushchair to double pushchair, with 30 different configurations, and comes with premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not cheap but you could use it for more than one child, if you need to and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the carrycot included. Style Newborns should lie flat as much as they can to help develop and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, which is why it's essential that all prams permit this. Some models provide a flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot, while others have a seat that reclines to a flat position. The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter feature and is fantastic at what it does as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her 10-month-old son. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise and lower her baby at the push of a button, keeping him in the view of others and still maintain eye contact and a closeness. It's a great choice for those that want to get around town with ease as the frame is an ideal size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres permit you to take it off road and into rough terrain. It's also a great choice if you're planning on having another child in future since it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a twin or double pushchair. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that looks and feels luxurious. It's suitable for newborns because it comes with a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. It is able to be folded with the carrycot still in place This is an option that not all prams have. This reduces time and makes it easier to use. The pram's luxurious fabric as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect to find on a premium model, but the sleek frame makes it easy for you to maneuver on diverse terrains. This is an excellent choice for those who live in the city and must navigate narrow streets and crowded walkways on a regular basis. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and high-end quality can save you money in the long run by avoiding the purchase of a separate toddler stroller. You can choose from a wide range of colors to suit your style.
