What Makes Good sale prams?

A pram, also known as a stroller, pushchair or Sling, is the main method of transport for infants and toddlers. A great pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking fun for all family members.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a great stroller for infants to three years old. The reversible handle lets you to tilt the seat so that your child can look at either you or the world around them.

Comfort

You want your child to be at ease when you're out with them. There are prams to make sure your baby doesn't feel any discomfort.

The prams we've picked in this buying guide all allow your baby to lie flat, which is important for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat improves oxygen levels and assists in the development of their spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position when your baby is able to sit up.

For a really high-end feel, the Venicci egg2 has a cosy feeling of a cocoon for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position but does have padding on the liner and mattress. It's also lighter than most prams, with a weight of less than 8kg. But it is sturdy and has grained leather details and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great option when you're looking for a model that has a similar appearance but at a price that is lower. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, but it does have a large storage basket. It also has an extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a new parent we recommend the travel system bundle that includes a pram and a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without waking them and is ideal for parents who are always on the move. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and functional pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette,' or lie-flat 'pramette,' into a toddler-friendly stroller compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

The pram should come with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It should also have no gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. Examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they are not cracked and show signs of wear. Every year, a lot of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. The most common cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the most robust prams could fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a wriggling child is able to get into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

Another common cause of injuries is falling from the pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not fastened properly it could cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the harness buckle is always locked in place.

Some good prams also have an adjustable canopy that can shield your baby from sun in both directions. This feature is beneficial because you don't have to wake up your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you enter stores and out. There are also other features that are useful, such as snacks for your toddler or child and drink holders. There's also an extra shopping basket under the seat.

Do not leave a baby asleep in a pram without having them in sight. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and can cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This could lead to strangulation and suffocation. A stroller or pram should not be used as a substitute for the cot. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the daytime.

The majority of prams require you to take them apart in order to fit them into the boot of your car so it's recommended to familiarize yourself with this process before you buy one. Also, consider how easy it is to get the various sections back together and click to put them back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be able to last through many years of wear and tear. This includes having to deal with muddy walks and getting through many car journeys, which is why you need to ensure that your choice will do the job you need it to. You should ensure that your pram is the right color or design that will not date easily to avoid looking like you've lost fashion.

The best prams will be constructed of top-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable fabrics, sturdy tires, and a well-designed system of suspension. The top prams have a compact fold, so you can store them easily in your garage or boot when not when not in use.

All the prams in this list allow babies to lie down flat. This is essential for newborns, because it aids in the development of their hips and spine and improves oxygenation levels. Many of these prams are designed to grow along with your child's. Some include a carrycot or a reclined seat that can be removed and snapped on when your child outgrows them.

If you are considering buying a pram for the first time, a travel system that comes with the carrycot as well as a car seat may be of interest. We love the Graco Near2Me system which our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It has a nifty feature that raises and lowers your baby at the touch of a button. This way you can maintain eye contact and keep them close, which she said was really important to her since the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

Another alternative is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be transformed from a single pushchair double in 30 different configurations. It also comes with 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, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns need to lie flat as much as possible to aid development and increase the oxygen level in their lungs. Therefore, it is essential that all prams allow this. Some models create a completely flat position using a fully reclineable carrycots, while others have the seat that can recline to a flat position.

The Graco Near2Me works great 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, keeping him in view while maintaining eye contact and closeness.

The frame is ideal for nipping around town and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off road or on rough terrain. It's a great choice for those who plan to have a child in the future because it can easily be transformed from a single pushchair into a twin pushchair or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a premium, stylish option. It's suitable for newborns because it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats in the event that you purchase it separately. You can even fold it by putting the carrycot in place which is something not all prams can do which is why it's a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres are all the things you'd expect on a high-end pram however, its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on any terrain. It's also an ideal choice for those who live in a large city and need to negotiate narrow streets or busy sidewalks frequently. Although it's not inexpensive but the quality and versatility of this stroller will save you money in the long run by avoiding the need to purchase a separate pushchair for toddlers. It's available in a wide range of colors, as well, so you can choose one that suits your personal style.
