What Makes travel strollers ? A pram (also called a stroller or a pushchair) is the most popular form of transportation for babies and toddlers. A good pram is a combination of safety, comfort and design that makes walking fun for the entire family. The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for children from newborns to 3 years old. Its reversible handle allows you to tilt the seat so that your child can look at either you or the world around them. Comfort When you're out and about with your baby, you'll want to ensure that they're safe. There are prams to make sure your baby doesn't feel any discomfort. All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby to lie flat. This is crucial for newborns since it improves oxygenation and supports their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position when your baby is able to sit up. Venicci egg2 is a premium pram with a cocoon feeling for your baby. It is smooth and has curvaceous lines, a bucket-shaped seat, which does not recline into flat, but it does have an upholstered mattress and liner. It's also lighter than most prams, weighing under 8kg. But it has a sturdy chassis with the grained leather accents and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof. If you're looking for something a bit more affordable, but with the same style Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is another excellent choice. The one-hand steer, swish model isn't quite as light as other prams but it does come with a large storage basket. It also comes with an hood that can be extended, which provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and protected. If you are new to parenting, we recommend that you consider a travel system package which includes a car seat as well as a pram that can be attached to the same frame. This allows parents to transfer their baby from their car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a fashionable and practical travel system pram that converts easily from a lie-flat 'pramette into a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat. Safety A pram must have a five point safety harness to keep your baby safe and secure. It should not have any gaps to trap their heads or legs. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they expand. It is also important to inspect the buckles of your harness to make sure that they aren't cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. Every year, a large number of children are hospitalised because of injuries caused by prams or strollers. The primary cause of these injuries is the result of a stroller tipping over. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over if you hook your bags onto the handles or if a child is wriggling and gets in or out of the seat before the harness has been tightened. Another common cause of injuries is falling from the pram or stroller. If the harness of a baby is not secured properly it could cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer head or neck injuries. This is why it is vital to ensure that the harness buckle is always secured. Some prams have a reversible shade which can be used to shield your baby in both directions from the sun. This is a great feature because it will prevent having to wake your child awake while you change their position in the pram, or when you are going in and out of shops. Other handy features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your infant or toddler, a basket for shopping under the seat and the handlebar can be locked into place when you're not using it. It is not advisable to leave a child sleeping in their stroller unless you are in their sight at all times. Babies are susceptible to wiggle during sleep, which could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This can lead to suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the day. It is necessary to take apart the majority of prams to fit them in the trunk of your car. This process should be familiarised with before you purchase a pram. Find out how easy it will be to put the sections back together. Durability A pram should be durable enough to endure many years of wear and wear and tear. This includes having to deal with walking in the rain and many car journeys, so you need to ensure that your choice is able to perform the task you want it to. You also want your stroller to have an image or color that doesn't get outdated so you don't end up looking like you've gone out of fashion. The most effective prams are constructed from high-quality materials and are built to last, so you should look for strong and durable materials, robust wheels, and an efficient suspension system. The most reliable 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 prams on this list allow a baby to lie flat, which is essential for newborns as it improves oxygen saturation levels and aids in the development of their spine and hips. Some are made to grow with your child and some having a carrycot or a fully reclined seat that can be clicked off and back on the frame when your child outgrows it. If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you may also be looking for a travel system which is a package that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. We are awestruck by the Graco Near2Me system that our parent tester Jaya used with her son of 10 months. It is a revolutionary feature that allows you to raise and lower your child by pressing one button. This lets you keep your eyes on the baby and keep them in close proximity. The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two children Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pram that can be transformed from a single pushchair into double, with 30 different configurations. It also comes with the sun canopy which can be extended and puncture-proof tires. It's not expensive however, you can use it with multiple children, if needed. Similar to our winner iCandy Orange 3, the iCandy Orange 3 with its included carrycot can be used from the moment of birth. Style Newborns must lay flat as often as possible to aid development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs, so it's essential that all prams permit this. Some models provide a flat position with a fully-reclinable carrycot, while others have seats that recline to an unflat position. The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter and it's brilliant in this regard, as our parent tester Jaya found when she tested it with her son of 10 months. She was thrilled to be able to raise or lower her infant by pressing a button to keep him in view, while still maintaining closeness and eye contact. The frame is perfect for city trips and the puncture-proof tires allow you to take it off the road or on rough terrain. It's a great choice when you are planning to have a second child in the near future, as it can easily be converted from a single pushchair to a double or twin. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a stylish, high-end option that looks and feels impressive. It's suitable for babies as it includes a carrycot that can be folded flat and is compatible with a car seat if purchased separately. It can be folded while the carrycot still in place It's something that not all prams offer. This reduces time and makes it easier to use. Its luxe fabrics, spacious shopping basket, and puncture-proof tyres are the kind of things you'd expect on a high-end pram however, its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on a variety of terrains. It's also an ideal choice when you live in a large city and must navigate narrow streets or overcrowded sidewalks frequently. Although it's not inexpensive but the quality and versatility of this pram will save you money in the long run by not having to buy a separate pushchair for toddlers. You can choose from a range of colors that will fit your personal style.
