Comfort

Your baby should be at ease when you're out with them. There are prams that will ensure your baby doesn't feel any sensations.

All the prams listed in this guide allow your baby lie flat. This is crucial for babies as it increases oxygenation and strengthens their hips and spine. The seats can also be adjusted to an upright position once your baby is able to sit up.

Venicci egg2 is a top-of-the-line pram that offers a cocoon-like feel for your baby.

It's also lighter than other prams, weighing under 8kg. However, it has a sturdy frame with finely textured leather and air-filled tyres which are puncture-proof.

The Bugaboo Dragonfly is a great example of a stylish and functional pram for best travel pram that can be converted easily from a lie-flat 'pramette into a toddler-friendly pushchair that is compatible with the Graco i-Size car seat.

Safety

The pram should come with a five-point safety harness that will ensure your baby's safety. It must also be free of gaps where their legs or heads could get stuck. The straps must be padded and easily adjustable as your child grows. You should also inspect the buckles of your harness to ensure that they are not cracked or showing signs of wear and tear. A lot of children are hospitalized every year due to injuries caused by strollers or prams. Tipping over is the primary cause of these injuries. Even the most sturdy prams could tip over if you hook your bags onto the handles or if the child is wriggling and gets into or out of the seat before the harness is tightened.

Another common cause of injury is falling from the stroller or pram. If a child's harness isn't secured correctly, it could cause them to fall from the stroller and suffer neck or head injuries. This is why it is important to ensure that the buckle of the harness is always clicked into place.

Some prams have an adjustable shade that can be used to protect your baby in either direction from the sun. This feature is beneficial because you don't have to wake up your baby every time you alter their position in the stroller or when you enter and out of stores. There are also other features that can be useful, for example a snack tray for your toddler or child and drink holders. There's also a shopping basket underneath the seat.

Don't leave a baby sleeping in a pram if you are not within sight. Babies are known to wiggle when asleep and this can cause them to fall off the pram or stroller and could result in suffocation or strangulation. A stroller or pram is not an alternative to a cot and should only be used for short periods during the daytime.

It is essential to disassemble the majority of prams to put them into the boot of your vehicle. This procedure should be familiarised with before you purchase one. Check how easy it will be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram must be durable enough to endure many years of wear and tear. You need to ensure that your pram can handle the mud of a walk and also multiple car trips. You want to make sure that your stroller is in a color or pattern that will not date easily to avoid looking like you've lost fashion.

The most reliable prams are constructed of top-quality materials and designed to last. You should look for durable fabrics as well as sturdy tires and a well-designed system of suspension.
