10-Pinterest Accounts You Should Follow About Good Prams

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a pushchair, stroller or a Sling, is the most popular method of transport for infants and toddlers. A good pram is a blend of safety, comfort and design that makes walking enjoyable for the entire family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for babies 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

When you're out and about with a baby, you want to ensure they're secure. There are prams that make sure your baby doesn't feel any discomfort.

All the prams in this guide let your baby lie flat. This is important for babies as it increases oxygenation and strengthens their hips and spine. They also have seats which can be transformed to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a luxurious feel it's the Venicci egg2 provides a warm cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline into a lie-flat position, but it does have an upholstered liner and mattress. It's also lighter than other top prams, at a weight of just 8kg. However, it has a sturdy frame with the grained leather accents and tyres with air-filled tires that are puncture-proof.

The Minu V2 is a great choice if you're looking for something with a similar design but at a price that is lower. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as light as other prams, but it does have a huge storage basket. It also has an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection to keep your baby protected and shaded.

If you're a new parent we recommend a travel system bundle that includes a pram and car seat that attach to the same frame. This makes it easier for parents to move their child from the car to the pram without having to awake them. 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 be fitted with five-point safety harnesses that will keep your baby safe. It must also be free of gaps between their head and legs that can get trapped. The straps must be cushioned and easily adjustable as your child grows. Also, you should inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a lot of children are admitted to hospitals because of injuries caused by prams and strollers. The main reason for these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams can topple when you strap your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and gets into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

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

Some prams come with a reversible shade which can be used to protect your baby in any direction from the sun. This feature is beneficial since you don't need to wake up your baby every time you change their position in the stroller or when you go in stores and out. There are also other features that are useful, such as snacks for your toddler stroller or child and drink holders. You can also find a basket for shopping underneath the seat.

You should never leave a sleeping child in their stroller unless you are within sight of them at all times. Babies can be prone to wriggling while sleeping and could cause them to roll out of the pram or stroller. This can lead to strangulation and suffocation. A pram or stroller is not an alternative to a cot and should be used only for brief periods during the daytime.

It is necessary to disassemble most prams in order to put them in the trunk of your car. This process should be familiarised with before you buy one. Check how easy it will be to put the parts back together.

Durability

A pram must be able stand up to the wear and tear of many years. You want to make sure that your stroller can withstand slippery walks, as well as multiple car trips. You also want your pram to be in an image or color that isn't prone to fading quickly so that you don't end up looking like you've gone out of style.

The best prams are made 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 will also have a compact fold, so they can be easily stored in your garage or the boot when not when not in use.

All the prams in this list allow your baby to lay flat. This is crucial for infants because it allows them to develop their spine and hips and boosts oxygen levels. Many of these prams have been designed to grow along with your child's. Some include a carrycot or a fully-reclined chair that can be removed and snapped on when your child outgrows them.

If you are buying a pram for the first time, a travel system that includes both a carrycot and car seats could be worth a look. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with an innovative feature that lets you raise and lower your child with the touch of a single button. This allows you to keep 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 children Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a luxurious pram that can be converted from a single pushchair to double pushchair and has 30 different configurations, and comes with luxurious fabrics, an expandable sun canopy, and puncture-proofed tyres. It's not cheap but you could use it for more than one child in the event of need and, like our winner the iCandy Orange 3, can be used from birth using the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns should lie flat as much as they can to help develop and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs, which is why it's important that all prams permit this. Some models allow for an entirely flat position using a carrycot that can be fully reclined, whereas others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me is a great device for this, as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old daughter. She was thrilled that she could raise and lower her baby at the touch of a button to keep him in sight while maintaining eye contact and a closeness.

The frame is ideal to take a stroll around town, and the puncture-proof tires permit you to take it off road or on rough terrain. It's an excellent choice if you plan to have a second child in the near future because it can easily be transformed from a single pushchair to a twin pushchair or double.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish and high-end product that is both stylish and comfortable. It's ideal for babies because it includes a carrycot that can be rolled flat and is compatible with a car-seat when purchased separately. It can be folded using the carrycot as a stand and it's something that isn't the case with all prams which is why it's an easy and time-saving feature.

Its luxurious fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres are all the things you'd expect on a premium pram bags and its sleek design makes it easy to maneuver across a variety of terrains. This is an excellent choice for those who live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or congested walkways regularly. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and quality could save you money in the long run by avoiding the purchase of an additional stroller for your toddler. It's available in an extensive variety of colors, as well, so you can pick one that fits your personal style.
