What Makes good prams; have a peek here,?
A pram, also known as a pushchair, stroller or a sling, is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and design to make walking enjoyable for the entire family.
The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for newborns and 3-year-old children. The reversible handle lets you to rotate the seat so your child can look at you or the world around them.
Comfort
Your baby should feel comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams to ensure that your baby isn't shivering anything.
All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is crucial for newborns as it improves oxygenation and helps support their spine and hips. They also come with a seat which can be transformed to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit.
Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It is smooth and has curvaceous lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which does not recline into a flat position however, it does come with a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it is sturdy and has grained leather details and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.
The Minu V2 is a great choice to consider if you're looking to buy something that has a similar appearance but at a lower price. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams but it does have a huge storage basket. It also comes with an extendable hood that offers UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and protected.
If you are a first time parent we suggest that you consider a travel pushchair system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that attaches to the same frame. This makes it much easier for parents to move their child from their car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical pram that can convert easily from a'pramette' that lies flat into a toddler-friendly pushchair compatible with the Graco I-Size car seat.
Safety
The pram should come with a five-point safety harness that will keep your baby safe. It should also have no gaps where their legs or heads could get stuck. The straps should be padded and easy to adjust as they expand. It is also important to examine the buckles on your harness to ensure they are not cracked or showing signs of wear push chairs and prams tear. Many children are hospitalised every year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. Tipping over is the main reason for these injuries. Even the strongest prams can tip over if you hook bags onto the handles, or if a child with a wriggling gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.
A frequent cause of injury is falling off a pram or folding stroller. If a baby is not properly secured, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain head or neck injuries. It is therefore important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is securely clicked into the proper position.
Some good prams also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from the sun in either direction. This is a handy feature as you can avoid having to wake your child awake while you change their position in the pram or when you are in 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 into position when you're not using it.
Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being within reach. Babies are susceptible to wiggle while asleep and this could cause them to fall out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram or a stroller is not a substitute for the cot. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the daytime.
It is necessary to take apart the majority of prams to put them into the boot of your vehicle. This process should be familiarised with before you purchase one. Consider how easy it would be to put the pieces back together.
Durability
A pram must be able to last through many years of wear and tear. You should ensure that your pram can handle muddy walks and also multiple car trips. You want to make sure that your pram is a colour or print that isn't prone to fading to avoid looking as if you've slipped out of style.
The best prams will be made of high-quality materials, and are designed to last. Look for durable materials with sturdy tires, as well as a well-designed system of suspension. The best prams will also have a compact fold so you can store them easily in your garage or boot when not being used.
All prams on this list allow infants to lie flat, which is vital for infants since it increases oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their hips and spine. Many of these prams have been designed to grow along with your child. Some have a carrycot or a fully-reclined chair that can be snapped on and off as your child grows.
If you are purchasing a pram for the first time, a travel system that comes with a carrycot and a car seat could be of interest. Our parent tester Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month-old son. It has an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This allows you to keep eye contact with them and keep them close.
Another option is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that converts from a single to a double pushchair with 30 different configurations, and comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not expensive however, it can be used for multiple children if necessary. Like our top pick iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its included carrycot can be used right from birth.
Style
All prams should allow newborns to lie as flat as they can. This will help with their development and increase oxygen saturation in the lungs. Some models allow an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is completely reclined, while others have a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.
The Graco Near2Me features the latter feature, and it's fantastic in this regard, as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her 10-month-old son. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise and lower her baby at the press of a button to keep him in sight, while still maintaining eye contact and a closeness.
It's a great pram for those who wish to nip around town without hassle since the frame is a good size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres permit you to take it off road and on to rough terrain. It's a great choice for those who plan to have a child in the future, as it can easily be converted from a single pushchair into a double stroller or twin.
The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a premium, stylish option. It is suitable for newborns since it comes with a carrycot that can be rolled flat and is compatible with a car-seat when purchased separately. You can even fold it by putting the carrycot in place and it's something that isn't the case with all prams and is an easy and time-saving feature.
Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are all the features you'd expect to see on a pram of the highest quality, but its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on a variety of terrains. It's also a great choice if you live in a city and need to negotiate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks frequently.
