7 Simple Strategies To Completely Moving Your Good Prams

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also called a pushchair or stroller) is the main form of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends safety, comfort, and style to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic pram for newborns up to 3 year old children. The reversible handle lets you to tilt the seat so that your child can face either you or the world around them.

Comfort

When you're out and about with a baby, you want to ensure they're secure. There are prams to ensure that your baby isn't shivering any discomfort.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide let your baby lie flat, which is crucial for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen levels and helps support their growing hips and spine. The seats can be adjusted to an upright position once your baby is capable of sitting up.

For a luxurious feel this Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon-like feel 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 a little lighter than other prams available at less than 8kg, but it has an extremely sturdy chassis and grained leather accents and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can handle more rugged terrains.

If you're looking for something more budget-friendly but with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The swish-looking, one-hand steer model isn't as light than some of the other prams we've tested but it does have a large storage basket and extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and shaded.

If you're a new parent, we'd recommend considering the travel system bundle that includes a pram and car seat that are attached to the same frame. This allows parents to move their child from their car to the pram without having to wake them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram that can convert easily from a'pramette' lying flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also have no gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they are not cracked and have signs of wear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. Tipping over is the primary cause of these injuries. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you attach bags to the handles or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without the harness being properly secured.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling from the stroller or pram. If a baby is not properly secured, they could fall out of the stroller compact and sustain head or neck injuries. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the proper position.

A few good prams also come with a reversible canopy that will protect your baby from sun in both directions. This is a handy feature since you will not be having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram or while you are to and from the shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a shopping basket underneath the seat, and a handlebar that locks in place when you're not using it.

It is not advisable to let a child sleep in their stroller unless you are within their reach at all times. Babies are prone to wriggling while sleeping and can cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could result in suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not an alternative to the cot. It should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to place them into the boot of your vehicle. This procedure should be familiarised with before you purchase one. Find out how easy it will be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to endure several years of wear and tear. You want to make sure that your stroller can withstand the mud of a walk, as well as multiple car trips. It is important to ensure that your pram is a colour or print that isn't prone to fading so that you don't appear like you've fallen out of fashion.

The best prams are constructed from high-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable materials, sturdy tires, and a well-designed system of suspension. The top prams have a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not when not in use.

All the prams on this list allow babies to lay flat, which is crucial for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their hips and spine. A lot of these prams are designed to grow with your child's. Some come with a carrycot, or a reclined seat that can be easily removed and put back on when your child is outgrowing them.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you might also be interested in a travel system which is a bundle that includes a lying-flat carrycot and car seat. We love the Graco Near2Me device that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It is a revolutionary feature that lets you raise and lower your baby with the touch of one button. This lets you keep eye contact with your child and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be converted from a single pushchair into double pram in 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 you need to and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as they can. This will aid in their development and improve oxygen levels in the lung. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using a carrycot that can be fully reclinable, while others have a seat which can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter feature and is fantastic at what it does as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her son of 10 months. She loved that she could raise or lower her child with a push of an button, keeping him in the same position, while still maintaining closeness and eye contact.

It's a great choice for those that want to travel 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 on to rough terrain. It's an excellent choice when you are planning to have another child in the future since it can be converted from a single pushchair a twin or double pram.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a high-end, stylish option. It is suitable for newborns as it includes a carrycot that can lie flat and it's compatible with car seats if purchased separately. It can be folded with the carrycot still in place It's an option that not all prams offer. This is time-saving and makes it more convenient to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are all the things you'd expect on a premium pram and its sleek design makes it easy to handle on a variety of terrains. This is a great choice when you live in a city and must navigate narrow streets or congested paths regularly. 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 pick from a variety of colors that will fit your style.
