What Makes Good Prams? A pram, also referred to as a stroller, pushchair or a sling, is the primary form of transport for babies and toddlers. A great pram is a combination of safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family. The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for babies to three years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world. Comfort Your baby should be at ease when you're out with them. There are prams that make sure your baby doesn't feel any discomfort. All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby lay flat. This is important for newborns since it improves oxygenation and strengthens their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up. Venicci egg2 is a premium pram that has a cocoon-like feeling for your baby. It has smooth, curving lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into an upright position, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with grained leather details and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof. If you're looking for something a bit more affordable, but with the same design, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams but it does have a large storage basket. It also comes with an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and shaded. If you are a first time parent we suggest that you consider a travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their child from the car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical pram for travel that can be converted easily from a lie-flat 'pramette to a pushchair for toddlers that is compatible with the Graco I-Size car seats. Safety A pram should have a five-point safety harness to ensure your baby is secure and should not allow any gaps to trap their heads or legs. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on the harness to ensure that they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Every year, a large number of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the strongest prams can topple when you hang bags to the handles or if the child is wriggling and gets into or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened. Another reason for injuries is falling from the pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not fastened properly it can cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the harness buckle is always clicked into place. Some prams with good quality also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from the sun in any direction. This feature is helpful because you won't have to wake your baby every time you change their position in the stroller, or when you enter stores and out. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and the handlebar locks in place when you are not using it. You should never leave a sleeping child in their stroller unless they are in their sight at all times. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping, which could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller should not be used as an alternative to the crib. they said should only be used for short periods of time during the daytime. It is necessary to disassemble the majority of prams to place them in the boot of your vehicle. This process should be familiarised with before you purchase a pram. Check how easy it will be to put the pieces back together. Durability A pram should be able to endure several years of wear. You need to ensure that your pram can handle the mud of a walk, as well as multiple car trips. You also want your pram to come in an image or color that won't date quickly to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style. The best prams are made of high-quality materials, and are designed to last. You should look for durable fabrics with sturdy tires, as well as a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily so that you can store them in your garage or the boot of your car. All prams on this list allow babies to lay flat. This is crucial for babies, as it helps them develop their hips and spine, and boosts oxygen levels. A lot of these prams are designed to expand with your child's. Some have a carrycot, or a fully-reclined chair that can be easily removed and put back on as your child grows. If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you may be interested in a travel set which is an all-in-one package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. Our parent tester Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month-old son. It is a revolutionary feature that allows you to raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This allows you to keep your eyes on the baby and keep them in close proximity. 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 a double pushchair with 30 different configurations, and comes with premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proof tyres. It's not expensive, but it can be used for more than one child if you need to. And like our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot, it can be used as early as. Style Newborns need to lay flat as often as they can to help develop and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs, which is why it is essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow a completely flat surface with a fully-reclinable carrycot, while others have the seat that can recline to an upright position. The Graco Near2Me is a great device for both as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old child. She was thrilled that she could raise and lower her child with the touch of a button to keep him in sight while maintaining eye contact and closeness.
