What You Should Be Focusing On Improving Good Prams

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a stroller or pushchair twin) is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends safety, comfort and design to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a great pram for newborns to 3-year-old kids. The adjustable handle can be turned around to allow you to turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

When you're out and about with a baby, you need to be sure they're comfortable. There are prams to ensure your baby doesn't feel anything.

All prams featured in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is essential for babies as it increases oxygenation and helps support their spine and hips. The seats can be adjusted to a more upright position when your baby is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a premium pram for newborn with a cocoon feel for your baby. It is smooth and has curving lines and a bucket-shaped seat which doesn't recline into an upright position however, it does come with padding on the mattress and a liner. It's also lighter than other prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. However, it has a sturdy frame with finely textured leather and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

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

If you're the first parent of your child we suggest you look into a travel system bundle which includes a pram and car seat that are attached to the same frame. This makes it easier for 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 toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It must also be free of gaps between their head and legs that are likely to get caught. The straps should be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Also, you should examine the buckles on your harness to make sure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a large number of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can fall over if you hang bags to the handles or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram or stroller. If a baby's harness isn't secured correctly it can cause them to fall from the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to make sure that the harness buckle is always secured.

Some good prams also have a reversible canopy that will protect your baby from sun in any direction. This is a handy feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the running 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 a handlebar that can be locked into place when you are not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram if you are not within sight. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping, which can cause them to roll out of the pram or triple stroller. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib and should only be used for brief periods during the daytime.

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

Durability

A pram must be able to last through many years of wear and wear and tear. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and numerous car journeys, so you must ensure your choice will do the job you need it to. It is also important for your pram to be in an image or color that doesn't get outdated so that you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion.

The best prams are constructed of top-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable materials with sturdy tires, as well as an efficient suspension system. The most effective prams are small and fold easily so that you can put them in your garage or boot.

All the prams in this list allow babies to lay flat, which is essential for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their spine and hips. A lot of them are designed to adapt to your child's needs with some having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked on and off the frame for when your little one outgrows it.

If you are considering buying an infant stroller for the first time you should consider a travel system that has the carrycot as well as a car seat could be a good idea. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It has an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This lets you maintain eye contact with them and keep them close.

Another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a stroller that can be transformed from a single pushchair a double with 30 different configurations. It also has 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 if needed and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the included carrycot.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lie flat as possible. This will aid in their development and increase oxygen saturation in the lung. Some models create a completely flat surface with a fully-reclinable carrycot while others feature seats that recline to a flat position.

The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter feature, and it's fantastic at what it does as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son who was 10 months old. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her child with the touch of a button to keep him in the view of others, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

This frame is perfect for nipping around town and the puncture-proof wheels permit you to take it off the road or on rough terrain. It's also a great choice if you're planning on having another child in future since it is able to convert from a single pram into a twin or double pushchair stroller.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that is both stylish and comfortable. It's suitable for babies because it includes a carrycot which can be folded flat and is compatible with car seats if purchased separately. It can be folded while the carrycot still in place, which is a feature that not all prams provide. This is time-saving and makes it simpler to use.

The pram's luxurious fabric as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are things you'd expect in a top model however, the sleek frame makes it simple for you to maneuver on different terrains. This is an excellent choice when you live in a city and must navigate narrow streets and crowded walkways on a regular basis. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this stroller make it possible to save you money over the long term by eliminating the need to purchase a separate toddler pushchair stroller. You can choose from a variety of colors to match your preferences.
