What Makes good prams - visit this page -?

A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the main mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines comfort, safety and style to make walking enjoyable for all the family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for children from newborns to three years old. The reversible handle lets you turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your baby to be at ease when you're out with them. There are prams that will ensure that your baby isn't shivering any sensations.

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is important for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat increases oxygen saturation and supports their developing hips and spine. They also come with a seat that can be changed to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a luxurious experience it's the Venicci egg2 has a cosy cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seating that does not recline to a lying-flat position, but has padding on the liner and mattress. It's also lighter than other prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. But it has a sturdy chassis with finely textured leather and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great choice if you're looking for something that has a similar appearance but at a lower price. The stylish, one-hand steer model isn't as lightweight as the other pushchairs prams we tested but it has an impressively large storage basket and extended hood with UPF50+ protection that'll keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're a new parent we recommend a travel system bundle which includes a pram as well as a car seat that attach to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to transfer their child from the car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is easily converted from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

A pram should have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby secure and should not allow any gaps to entrap their legs or head. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on the harness to make sure they're not damaged and show signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised every year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over when you strap your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling or squirming and falls into or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If a baby isn't properly secured the pram, they may fall out of the pram and suffer neck or head injuries. It is therefore important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into the correct position.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can protect your baby from the sun in any direction. This feature is useful because you won't have to wake up your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you go in stores and out. There are also other features that are useful, for example snacks for your child or toddler and drink holders. There is also a shopping basket underneath the seat.

You should never let a child sleep in their stroller unless they are in their sight at all times. Babies can be prone to wiggle during sleep and can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram is not a substitute for a cot and should be used only for short periods of time during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart the majority of prams to fit them into the boot of your vehicle. This process is something you should know before you buy one. Consider how easy it would be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram should be able to endure several years of wear. You should ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle slippery walks as well as a variety of car trips. You should ensure that your pram is the right color or design that isn't prone to fading to avoid looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The best prams will be constructed of top-quality materials and are designed to last. Look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and a well-designed system of suspension. The most reliable prams have a compact pushchair 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. This is important for newborns, because it allows them to develop their hips and spine and improves oxygenation levels. A lot of them are designed to adapt to your child's needs, with some of them having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and on the frame at a time when your child is no longer using it.

If you are considering buying an infant stroller for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that has an infant carrycot and car seats could be a good idea. Our parent tester Jaya loved the Graco Near2Me system that she used with her 10-month old son. It has a nifty feature that raises and lowers your child with the click of a button so you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she said was really important for her son as he was at an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be converted from a single pushchair to double in 30 different configurations. It also features the sun canopy which 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, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as possible. This will help with their development and increase oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models permit a completely flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclinable, while others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me features the latter and it's brilliant at that as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her 10-month-old son. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her baby with a push of an button, keeping him in the same position, while still maintaining the eye contact and closeness.

This frame is perfect for city trips and the puncture-proof tires permit you to drive it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a good choice if you're planning on having a second child in the future since it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a twin stroller or double pram and pushchair pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that looks and feels impressive. It is suitable for newborns because it includes a carrycot that can lie flat and it's compatible with a car-seat if purchased separately. It can be folded with the carrycot still in place This is a feature that not all prams offer. This saves time and makes it more convenient to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are the kinds of things you'd expect on a high-end pram, but its sleek frame makes it easy to handle across a variety of terrains. It's also a great choice when you live in a city and have to navigate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks regularly. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this model mean that it can save you money in the long run by avoiding the need to buy a separate toddler pushchair. You can choose from a variety of colors that will fit your personal style.
