The Top Reasons People Succeed Within The Good Prams Industry

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a pushchair or stroller) is the primary mode of transportation for babies and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort, and design to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for babies to 3 years old. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your child to be at ease when you're out with them. There are prams that will ensure your baby doesn't feel any discomfort.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all allow your baby to lay flat, which is crucial for newborn babies as lying flat increases oxygen saturation and supports their developing hips and spine. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is able to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It features smooth, curving lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which does not recline into an upright position, but it does have an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it has a sturdy chassis with finely textured leather and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something a bit less expensive but with a similar style, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The stylish one-hand steer model isn't as light than some of the other prams we tested however it comes with a big storage basket and an the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a first-time parent, we'd recommend considering a travel system bundle that includes a pram as well as a car seat that attach to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their child from the car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette, into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses 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 easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not cracked and show signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized every year due to injuries caused by strollers strollers or prams. The primary reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most robust prams could tip over if you hook bags to the handles or if a child who is wriggling gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being properly secured.

A common cause of injury involves falling off a pram or stroller. If a baby isn't properly secured, they could fall out of the pram and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some prams come with a reversible shade which can be used to protect your baby in either direction from the sun. This is a useful feature since you will not be having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram or while you are into and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat, and a handlebar that locks in place when you are 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 can be prone to wiggle during sleep and could cause them to fall out of the stroller or pram. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to place them into the trunk of your car. This procedure should be familiarised with before you purchase a pram. Also, check how easy it is to get the different parts back together and click them into place.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to endure a long time of wear. You need to ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle slippery walks and also multiple car trips. It is also important for your pram to come in an image or color that doesn't get outdated so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They are designed to last. So, look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an effective suspension system. The top prams have a compact fold, so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not being used.

All the prams on this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is crucial for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels as well as aids in the development of their hips and spine. Some are made to grow with your child and some having a carrycot or fully-reclined seat that can be moved off and back on the frame for when your little one outgrows it.

If you are buying a pram for the very first time you should consider a travel system that has a carrycot and car seats could be worth a look. Our test-driver for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a handy feature that raises and lowers your child at the push of a button. This way you can keep eye contact and keep them close which she claimed was important to her since the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

Another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 in 1 pram which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be converted from a single pushchair into a double with 30 different configurations. It also comes with a sun canopy that 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, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns should lay flat as much as they can in order to promote development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models provide a flat position using a fully reclineable carrycot while others feature the seat that can recline to an unflat position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter and it's brilliant at that as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her 10-month-old son. She loved the ability to raise or lower her child at the touch of a button to keep him in view, while still maintaining eye contact and proximity.

It's a great stroller for those who want to travel around town with ease as the frame is a good size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres let you move it off the road and into rough terrain. It's also a great option if you're thinking of having another child in future since it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a double or twin pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels impressive. It's ideal for babies because it comes with a lie-flat baby carrycot and is compatible with a car seat, if you buy it separately. It can be folded by putting the carrycot in place - something that isn't the case with all sale prams, so it's an efficient and easy feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are things you would expect to see on a high-end model, but the sleek frame makes it simple to maneuver over diverse terrains. It's also a great choice when you live in a large city and have to navigate narrow streets or busy sidewalks frequently. The pram isn't cheap, but its versatility and quality could save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of a separate toddler stroller. It's available in a wide range of colors, as well, so you can choose one that suits your personal style.
