From All Over The Web The 20 Most Amazing Infographics About Good Prams

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a stroller, pushchair or a sling, is the primary mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram combines safety, comfort, and style to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Joy Stylish Baby Stroller is a wonderful pram for newborns to 3-year-old children. Its reversible handle allows you to rotate the seat so your child can face either you or the world around them.

Comfort

Your baby should be at ease when you're out with them. The good news is that there are prams designed to ensure that your baby isn't apprehensive.

The prams we've selected in this buying guide all let your baby lie flat, which is essential for infants as lying flat improves oxygen saturation and helps support their growing spine and hips. The seats can also be adjusted to a more upright position once your child is capable of sitting up.

Venicci egg2 is a high-end pram that has a cocoon-like feel for your baby. It has smooth, curving lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which doesn't recline into an upright position, but it does have a padded mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy frame with finely textured leather and tyres that are air-filled, which are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great choice 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 comes with an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby safe and protected.

If you're the first parent of your child we suggest you look into a travel system bundle which includes a pram and a car seat that are attached to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to transfer their baby from their car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is an elegant and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette or a lie-flat 'pramette into a stroller that is toddler-friendly compatible with the Graco ISize car seat.

Safety

A pram should be equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and free of any gaps that could trap their legs or head. The straps must be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. Check the buckles on the harness to ensure they are not damaged and show signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised each year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. Tipping over is the most common cause of these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can fall over if you hang bags to the handles or if a wriggling child gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being secured.

A common cause of injury is falling from a pram or stroller. If a child is not securely secured in the pram, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the buckle on the harness is clicked into place.

Some prams come with a reversible shade which can be used to shield your baby in both directions from the sun. This is a useful feature because it will prevent having to wake your child awake while you change their position in the pram, or when you go in and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping underneath the seat, and the handlebar can be locked into place when you're not using it.

Never leave a sleeping baby in a pram without being within reach. Babies are susceptible to wriggling while sleeping and could cause them to fall out of the stroller or pram. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A pram newborn or stroller is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for brief periods during the daytime.

It is essential to disassemble most prams in order to fit them in the trunk of your car. This process should be familiarised with before you buy one. Also, check how it is simple to put the different sections back together and then click to put them back together.

Durability

A pram needs to be durable enough to endure many years of wear and tear. You need to ensure that your stroller compact can withstand muddy walks and also multiple car trips. It is also important for your stroller to have the form of a color or print that isn't prone to fading quickly so you don't end up looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The top prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are built to last, so you should look for robust fabrics, sturdy wheels and an effective suspension system. The top prams feature a compact fold so they can be easily stored in your garage or boot when not when not in use.

All the prams in this list allow your baby to lay on their backs. This is essential for babies, because it aids in the development of their hips and spine, and boosts oxygen levels. A lot of them are designed to grow with your child, with some of them having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and on the frame when your child outgrows it.

If you are considering buying an infant stroller for the first time you should consider a travel system that includes both an infant carrycot and car seats could be worth a look. We love the Graco Near2Me device that our parent facing pram tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It is a revolutionary feature that lets you raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This lets you keep eye contact with your child and keep them close.

Another alternative is the Bugaboo Fox 3 in one pushchair which our tester Jess Bird used with her two children, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair that can be transformed from a single pushchair double in 30 different configurations. It also has sun canopy that can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not cheap but you can use it for more than one child if needed and, just like the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth with the carrycot included.

Style

All prams should allow newborns to lay as flat as they can. This will help with their development and improve oxygen levels in the lungs. Some models allow for a completely flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclinable, while others have a seat that can recline to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me has the latter feature, and it's fantastic at what it does as our tester for parents Jaya discovered when she tried it with her son who was 10 months old. She loved the fact that she could raise and lower her baby at the press of a button and keep him in view and still maintain eye contact and closeness.

It's a great pram for those who wish to get around town with ease as the frame is a good size for maneuvering, and the puncture-proof tyres permit you to remove it from the road and into rough terrain. It's a great option for those who plan to have a second child in the future, as it can easily be converted from a single pushchair with car seat a double or twin.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly looks and feels like a stylish, high-end option. It's ideal for babies because it includes a lie-flat carrycot and is compatible with car seats, if you buy it separately. You can even fold it by putting the carrycot in place - something that does not happen with all prams, so it's a time-saving and hassle-free feature.

The pram's luxurious fabrics as well as the spacious basket and puncture-proof tires are all features you'd expect on a premium model, but the sleek frame makes it simple for you to maneuver on different terrains. It's also a great option if you live in a large city and must navigate narrow streets or crowded sidewalks frequently. Although it's not inexpensive, the quality and versatility of this pram make it possible to save you money over the long term by not having to invest in a separate toddler pushchair. You can pick from a variety of colors to suit your preferences.
