Why We Our Love For Good Prams And You Should Also

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a sling, is the primary method of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort, and design to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic pram for newborns to 3-year-old kids. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

Your baby should be comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure that your baby doesn't feel a thing.

All the prams in this guide allow your baby lie flat. This is important for babies as it increases oxygenation and supports their spine and hips. They also come with a seat which can be transformed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit.

For a luxurious experience, the Venicci egg2 provides a warm feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seats that does not recline to a lying-flat position, but has a padded liner and mattress. It's also a little lighter than other prams available at less than 8kg, but it has a sturdy chassis and grained leather accents and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to take on more rural settings.

If you're looking for something a bit less expensive but still with the same design Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The sleek one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we've tested however it comes with a large storage basket, as well as an extendable hood with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're the first parent of your child we recommend a travel system bundle that includes a pram and a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This makes it easier to get your baby from the car to the pram without disturbing them and is ideal for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is an elegant and practical pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette,' or lie-flat 'pramette, into a compact stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It should also not have any gaps where their legs or heads are likely to get caught. The straps should be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not damaged and show signs of wear. A lot of children are hospitalized each year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams can tip over when you strap bags to the handles or if the child is wriggling and falls into or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another common cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If the harness of a baby is not fastened properly it can cause them to fall from the stroller, causing neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the harness buckle is always locked in place.

Some top prams with good quality also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from the sun in both directions. This is a useful feature because it will prevent having to wake your child up when you are changing their position in the pram, or when you are going in and out of shops. Other handy features include a snack tray and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat, and the handlebar can be locked into place when you're not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram for newborn without being within reach. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this can cause them to fall off the pram or stroller and cause suffocation or strangulation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to fit them into the trunk of your car. This procedure must be mastered before you purchase one. Find out how easy it will be to put the parts back together.

Durability

A pram must be durable enough to withstand several years of wear and tear. This includes surviving the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, which is why you must ensure your choice can perform the task you want it to. Also, you want your stroller to have the form of a color or print that doesn't get outdated so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.

The most effective prams are constructed from high-quality materials and have been designed to last, so look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels, and an efficient suspension system. The most reliable prams have a compact strollers fold, so you can store them easily in your garage or in the boot when not being used.

All the prams in this list allow babies to lie down flat. This is important for newborns, because it allows them to develop their spine and hips and improves oxygenation levels. Many of these prams are designed to grow along with your child's. Some have carrycots, or a reclined seat that can be easily removed and put back on as your child grows.

If you're buying a new pram for the first time, you might be interested in a travel set that is a complete bundle that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your baby at the touch of a single button. This lets you keep your eyes on them and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two babies Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that can be converted from a single to double pushchair and has 30 possible configurations. It also comes with premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. 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 included carrycot.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as they can. This will aid in their development and increase oxygen levels in the lung. Some models permit an all-flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclinable, while others have a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me works great for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old child. She loved the fact that she could raise or lower her child with the push of a button to keep him in view and still maintain eye contact and a closeness.

This frame is perfect to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof wheels permit you to drive it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a smart choice if you're planning on having a second child in the future because it easily converts from a single pram into a double or twin pushchair.
