Guide To Good Prams: The Intermediate Guide In Good Prams

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or pushchair) is the primary mode of transportation for babies and toddlers. A quality pram is a blend of safety, comfort and design that makes walking fun for all the family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a wonderful pram for newborns up to 3 year old kids. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and around with your baby, you want to ensure they're secure. The good news is that there are prams made to ensure your little one isn't apprehensive.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lie flat. This is important for newborns since it improves oxygenation and strengthens their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a top prams-of-the-line pram that has a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It features smooth, curving lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, that doesn't recline to flat, but it does have padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also lighter than most prams on the market at less than 8kg but has a sturdy chassis and grained leather details and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and can take on more rural settings.

The Minu V2 is a great option if you're looking for something with a similar look but at a price that is lower. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as light as other prams but it does come with a large storage basket. It also has an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and protected.

If you're new to parenting we suggest that you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This will make it easier to get your baby from the car to the pram without disturbing them and is ideal for parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical travel system pram that converts easily from a'pramette' that lies flat to a pushchair for toddlers compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats.

Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to entrap their legs or heads. The straps must be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are admitted to hospitals every year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams for newborns. The primary cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the strongest prams can fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a child with a wriggling can get in or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

A frequent cause of injury is falling off a pram or stroller. If a child's harness is not fastened properly it could cause them to fall out of the stroller, causing neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always locked in place.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will shield your baby from the sun in any direction. This feature is useful since you don't need to wake your baby every time you change their position in the stroller or when you enter and out of stores. Other useful features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat, and the handlebar locks into position when you're not using it.

You should never leave a sleeping child in their stroller unless you are in their sight at all times. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep and this may cause them to roll off the stroller or pram and can lead to suffocation or strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not an alternative to the crib. It should only be used for short periods of time during the day.

It is essential to disassemble most prams in order to put them into the boot of your vehicle. This procedure must be mastered before you buy one. Find out how easy it will be to put the sections back together.

Durability

A pram should be able to endure several years of wear. You need to ensure that your pram double can handle muddy walks as well as a variety of car trips. You want to make sure that your stroller is in a colour or print that will not date easily so that you don't appear as if you've slipped out of style.

The most effective prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are designed to last, so look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels and a well-designed suspension system. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily so that you can put them in your garage or boot.

All the prams on this list allow the baby to lie flat. This is essential for babies, because it aids in the development of their spine and hips and improves oxygenation levels. Many of these prams have been designed to expand with your child. Some come with a carrycot or a fully-reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on when your child outgrows them.

If you are considering buying an infant stroller for the first time, a travel system that has the carrycot as well as car seats could be of interest. We love the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your baby by pressing 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 children Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be transformed from a single pushchair double in 30 different configurations. It also has sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap pushchairs but you could use it for more than one child if needed and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the included carrycot.

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 permit an entirely flat position using a carrycot that can be completely reclined, while others feature a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tested it on her 10-month-old child. She was thrilled that she could raise or lower her little one with the press of a button to keep him in the view of others while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is ideal to take a stroll around town, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off road or on rough terrain. It's also a good choice if you're planning on having another child in the near future since it is able to convert from a single pram to a double or twin pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a premium, stylish option.
