15 Terms Everybody Working In The Good Prams Industry Should Know

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram (also known as a pushchair or stroller) is the main form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort and style that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller is a fantastic stroller for infants to 3 years old. The adjustable handle can be turned around to allow you to turn the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

You want your child to be comfortable when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure your little one doesn't feel a thing.

All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is important for babies as it increases oxygenation and strengthens their spine and hips. They also have a seat that can be converted to a more upright position when your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a really high-end feel this Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon feel for your newborn with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seats that does not recline to a lying-flat position, but has padding on the mattress and liner. It's also a little lighter than other prams, weighing under 8kg but still has solid chassis and grained leather details and air-filled tyres that are puncture-proof and able to take on more rural settings.

The Minu V2 is a great option when you're looking for a model with a similar design but at a lower price. The swish-looking, one-hand steer model isn't as light as the other prams we've tested but it has an impressively large storage basket and the ability to extend the hood, which comes with UPF 50+ protection, which will keep your baby shaded and protected.

If you're a first-time parent, we recommend that you consider the travel system that includes a car seat as well as a pram that are attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to transfer your child from the car to the pram without having to wake them up and is perfect for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that is able to be easily converted from a 'pramette' or lie-flat 'pramette, into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco iSize car seat.

Safety

The pram should be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also have no gaps where their legs or heads are likely to get caught. The straps should be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. Also, you should inspect the buckles of your harness to make sure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are hospitalised each year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams pushchairs prams. The primary cause of these injuries is tipping over. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you hook bags on the handles, or if a child who is wriggling gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram bags, or stroller. If a baby is not securely fastened in the pram, they could fall out of the pram and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always locked in place.

A few good prams also come with a canopy that can be reversible to shield your baby from sun in any direction. This is a useful feature since you will not be having to wake your baby awake when you change their position in the pram, or when you go into and out of shops. There are other features that can be useful, like snacks for your toddler or child and drink holders. There is also a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram pushchair without being in sight. Babies tend to wiggle while asleep and this can cause them to slide off the pram or stroller and can lead to suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram should not be used as an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the day.

It is necessary to take apart most prams in order to put them in the trunk of your car. This process must be mastered before you purchase one. Also check how it is easy to put the various sections back together before putting them in place.

Durability

A pram should be durable enough to withstand several years of wear and tear. This includes surviving walking in the rain and many car journeys, so you must ensure your choice can do the job you need it to. You should ensure that your pram is the right color or design that won't fade easily so that you don't appear as if you've slipped out of style.

The top prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They are designed to last, so you should look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The top prams have a compact fold, so they can be easily stored in your garage or in the boot when not when not in use.

All the prams in this list allow babies to lie down on their backs. This is important for babies, because it allows them to develop their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. Many of these prams have been designed to grow with your child's. Some come with a carrycot, or a fully-reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on as your child grows.

If you are considering buying an infant stroller for the first time, a travel system that comes with the carrycot as well as a car seat could be worth a look. We love the Graco Near2Me system that our parent facing pushchair tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with an innovative feature that allows you to raise and lower your baby by pressing one button. This allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keep them close.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our test-driver Jess Bird tried with her two kids Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pushchair that converts from a single to double pushchair and has 30 possible configurations and features premium fabrics, an extendable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not expensive but you can use it for more than one child if you need to. Similar to our winner model, the iCandy Orange 3 with its carrycot included can be used as early as.

Style

Newborns must lay flat as often as they can in order to promote development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, which is why it's essential that all prams permit this. Some models allow a completely flat position using a fully reclineable carrycots, while others have seats that recline to a flat 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 of 10 months. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her child by pressing the button to keep him in view and still maintain the eye contact and closeness.
