From All Over The Web Here Are 20 Amazing Infographics About Good Prams

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram with car seat (also known as a pushchair or stroller) is the primary mode of transportation for babies and toddlers. A quality pram blends safety, comfort, and style to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for children from newborns to three years old. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

Your baby should be comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams that ensure your baby doesn't feel anything.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is essential for newborn babies as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and assists in the development of their spine and hips. They also come with seats that can be changed to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It features smooth, curving lines as well as a bucket-shaped seating, which doesn't recline into a flat position however, it does come with an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with the grained leather accents and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something a bit more affordable, but with a similar style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a good option. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as light as other prams, but it does have a huge storage basket. It also comes with an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and protected.

If you're a first-time parent we suggest that you consider the travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that can be attached to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to move their child from their car to the pram without having to awake them. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram for travel that can be converted easily from a lie-flat 'pramette to a pushchair for toddlers compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram newborn should be equipped with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It must also be free of gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. 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. Many children are admitted to hospitals every year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you attach bags to the handles or if a child who is wriggling can get in or out of the seat without the harness being secured.

Another frequent cause of injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If a baby's harness is not secured properly, it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. It is therefore important to always ensure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the correct position.

Some prams have a reversible shade that can be used to shield your baby in either direction from the sun. This is a great feature as you can avoid having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram, or when you are into and out of shops. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and a handlebar that locks in place when you are not using it.

It is not advisable to leave a child sleeping in their pram unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies are susceptible to wiggle while asleep and this could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not an alternative to the crib. It should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to take apart the majority of prams to put them in the trunk of your car. This process is something you should know before you buy one. Check how easy it will be to put the parts back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to stand up to the wear and tear of many years. This includes surviving the mud-filled walks and many car journeys, so you want to be sure your choice can do the job you need it to. It is also important for your stroller to have an image or color that won't date quickly to avoid looking like you've gone out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and have been 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 you can put them in your garage or even the boot.

All prams on this list allow babies to lay on their backs. This is crucial for newborns, because it allows them to develop their hips and spine, and boosts oxygen levels. Many are designed to grow with your child and some featuring a carrycot, or a fully reclined seat that can be moved off and back on the frame when your child outgrows it.

If you are buying a pram for the first time you should consider a travel system that has the carrycot as well as a car seat could be worth a look. We love the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It comes with a clever feature that can raise or lower your child with the click of a button. This way you can maintain eye contact and keep them close, which she claimed was important to her as he was in an exploratory stage.

Another alternative is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two kids, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that converts from a single pushchair to double pram pushchair pushchair and has 30 possible configurations. It also comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy, and puncture-proof tyres. It's not inexpensive however, you can use it with multiple children, if needed. Similar to our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot can be used right from birth.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as they can. This will aid in their development and boost oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using a carrycot that is fully reclined, whereas others have a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature, and it's fantastic at that as our tester for parents 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 little one with the touch of a button to keep him in the view of others while maintaining eye contact and closeness.

It's a great choice for those that want to get around town with ease as the frame is an ideal size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres allow you to take it off road and onto rough terrain. It's also a good option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future because it easily converts from a single pram into a double or twin compact pushchair.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish premium option that looks and feels luxurious. It's suitable for babies as it comes with a carrycot that can be folded flat and is compatible with a car seat when purchased separately. It can be folded while the carrycot still in place This is something that not all prams offer. This reduces time and makes it simpler to use.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres are the kind of features you'd expect to see on a premium pram, but its sleek frame makes it easy to maneuver across a variety of terrains. It's also a great choice when you live in a large city and need to negotiate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks regularly. It's not cheap, but its versatility and quality can save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of a separate toddler stroller. You can pick from a range of colors that will fit your personal style.
