Comfort

You want your baby to be comfortable when you're out with them. There are prams to ensure that your baby isn't shivering any discomfort.

For a luxurious feel this Venicci egg2 offers a cozy cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curved lines and a bucket-shape seating that doesn't recline to a lie-flat position, but it does have padding on the mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, weighing under 8kg. However, it still has a sturdy chassis with finely textured leather and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

If you're looking for something a bit more affordable, but still with the same style, the Minu V2 (minus carrycot) is a great option. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, but it does have a huge storage basket.

This makes it easier for parents to transfer their child from their car to the pram without having to get them up. The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram for travel that can be converted easily from a'pramette' that lies flat' to a toddler-friendly pushchair compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

A pram must have a five-point safety harness to keep your baby safe and free of any gaps to entrap their legs or head. The straps should be cushioned and easy to adjust as they grow. Also, you should inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they aren't damaged or showing signs of wear and tear. Many children are admitted to hospitals each year because of injuries caused by strollers or prams. Tipping over is the most common reason for these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can fall over if you hang bags on the handles, or if a child who is wriggling gets into or out of the seat without harnesses being done up.

A common cause of injury involves falling off a pram or stroller. If a child's harness is not fastened properly it can cause them to fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. This is why it is crucial to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always locked in place.

Some good prams (trakt-Agm.ru) also have a canopy that can be reversible to protect your baby from the sun in either direction. This is a handy feature since you will not be having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram, or when you are in and out of shops. Other useful features include a tray for snacks and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket underneath the seat, and a handlebar that can be locked into place when you're not using it.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram without being in sight. Babies can be prone to wiggle during sleep and can cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could lead to suffocation and strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to the crib. It is best to use it for short periods of time during the day.

It is essential to disassemble most prams in order to fit them into the trunk of your car. This procedure should be familiarised with before you purchase one. Find out how easy it will be to put the parts 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 will fulfill the tasks you require it to. Also, you want your pram to be in the form of a color or print that won't date quickly to avoid looking like you've fallen out of fashion.

The most reliable prams are constructed from high-quality materials and built to last. Look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and an efficient suspension system. The best prams are lightweight and fold easily so that you can put them in your garage or even the boot.

All the prams pushchairs prams in this list allow babies to lie down on their backs. This is essential for newborns, because it allows them to develop their spine and hips and improves oxygenation levels. Many of these prams have been designed to grow with your child's. Some come with a carrycot, or a reclined seat that can be snapped on and off when your child is outgrowing them.

If you are purchasing a pram for the first time it is recommended to consider a system that includes both the carrycot as well as car seats could be worth a look. Our tester for parents Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System she used with her 10-month-old son. It comes with a handy feature that can raise or lower your baby at the touch of a button. This way you can maintain eye contact and keep them close which she described as being important to her as the baby was still at an exploratory stage.

The Bugaboo Fox 3 is another option that our tester Jess Bird tried with her two kids Effie & Boden (pictured above). It's a luxury pram that converts from a single to double pushchair and has 30 different configurations, and comes with premium fabrics, an extendable 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 thanks to the carrycot included.

Style

Newborns need to lie flat as much as they can in order to promote development and improve oxygen saturation in their lungs. Therefore, it's important that all prams allow this. Some models allow an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclined, whereas others feature a seat that can be reclined to a horizontal or a vertical position.

The Graco Near2Me comes with the latter feature, and it's fantastic at what it does as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it with her 10-month-old son. She loved the ability to raise or lower her child by pressing the button to keep him in view and still maintain eye contact and proximity.

It's a great pram for those who wish to nip around town with ease as the frame is a good size for manoeuvring, while the puncture-proof tyres let you remove it from the road and on to rough terrain.
