Be On The Lookout For: How Good Prams Is Taking Over And What We Can Do About It > 자유게시판

What Makes Good Prams?

A pram, also referred to as a stroller, pushchair or Sling, is the main mode of transport for infants and toddlers. A quality pram blends safety, comfort and style to make walking enjoyable for the whole family.

The R for Rabbit Poppins Stylish Baby Stroller makes a great stroller for babies to three years old. The Reversible handle lets you flip the seat to face your child or the world.

Comfort

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

The prams we've chosen in this buying guide let your baby lie flat, which is essential for babies who are just beginning to crawl. Lying flat increases oxygen saturation and helps support their growing spine and hips. They also have a seat that can be converted to more upright positions when your baby is old enough to sit up.

For a really high-end feel, the Venicci egg2 has a cosy cocoon-like feel for your baby with sleek, curvaceous lines and a bucket-shape seat that does not recline to a lying-flat position but does have padding on the mattress and liner. It's also lighter than other prams, weighing under 8kg. But it has a sturdy frame 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 another excellent choice. The one-hand steer model, swish, isn't as lightweight as other strollers, but it does come with a large storage basket. It also comes with an extended hood that provides UPF 50+ protection, which keeps your baby safe and shaded.

If you're the first parent of your child we recommend the travel system bundle that includes a pram and a car seat that can be attached to the same frame. This will make it much easier to get your baby from the car into the pram without having to wake them up and is perfect for busy parents on the go. The Bugaboo Dragonfly travel system is a stylish and practical pram that can be converted easily from a 'pramette,' or lie-flat 'pramette, to a stroller for toddlers compatible with the Graco ISize car seats.

Safety

The pram should be equipped with five-point safety harnesses that will ensure your baby's safety. It should also not have any gaps in which their heads or legs can get trapped. The straps should be padded, and easily adjustable as your child grows. Examine the buckles on your harness to make sure they're not cracked and show signs of wear. Many children are hospitalised each year due to injuries from strollers or prams. Tipping over is the primary reason for these injuries. Even the sturdiest prams can tip over if you hook bags to the handles or if a child with a wriggling is able to get into or out of the seat without the harness being done up.

Another reason for injury is falling off the stroller or pram. If a baby isn't properly secured, they could fall out of the stroller and sustain neck or head injuries. It is therefore essential to ensure that the buckle on the harness is locked into the proper position.

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 as you can avoid having to wake your baby awake while you change their position in the pram or when you are going in and out of shops. Other handy features include a snack tray and drink holders for your baby or toddler, a shopping basket under the seat and the handlebar locks in place when you're not using it.

Do not leave a baby asleep in a pram without having them within reach. Babies can be prone to wiggle while asleep and this could cause them to roll out of the stroller or pram. This could result in strangulation and suffocation. A pram or a stroller is not a substitute for the crib. It is best to use it for short periods during the day.

The majority of prams require you to take them apart in order to put them in the boot of your car therefore it's an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with this procedure before purchasing one. Find out how easy it will be to put the pieces back together.

Durability

A pram must be durable enough to endure several years of wear and tear. You need to ensure that your baby's pram is able to handle the mud of a walk and also multiple car trips. You should ensure that your stroller is in a color or pattern that won't fade easily to avoid looking like you've fallen out of style.

The most effective prams are constructed with high-quality materials. They are designed to last. So, look for durable fabrics, sturdy wheels, and a well-designed suspension system. The most reliable prams have a compact pushchair fold so you can store them easily in your garage or boot when not when not in use.

All prams on this list allow infants to lay flat, which is essential for newborns because it improves oxygen saturation levels and supports the development of their spine and hips. Many of these prams are designed to grow with your child's. Some come with a carrycot, or a reclined seat that can be easily removed and put back on when your child outgrows them.

If you're purchasing a new pram for the first time, you might be interested in a travel set which is an all-in-one bundle that includes a lie-flat carrycot and car seat. Our parent tester Jaya was a fan of the Graco Near2Me System that she used with her 10-month old son. It is a revolutionary feature that lets you raise and lower your baby by pressing one button. This allows you to keep your eyes on the baby and keep them in close proximity.

Another alternative is the Bugaboo Fox 3 which our tester Jess Bird used with her two babies, Effie and Boden (pictured above). It's a pushchair newborn that can be transformed from a single pushchair to double, with 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 in the event of need and, as with our winner the iCandy Orange 3 in one pushchair, can be used from birth using the included carrycot.

Style

Newborns should lay flat as much as they can in order to promote development and improve the oxygen saturation of their lungs. Therefore, it's essential that all prams allow this. Some models allow for an all-flat position by using the carrycot which is fully reclinable, while others feature a seat that reclines to a horizontal position.

The Graco Near2Me is brilliant for this as our parent tester Jaya discovered when she tried it on her 10-month-old child. She was enthralled by the fact that she could raise or lower her baby at the touch of a button to keep him in the view of others, while still maintaining eye contact and closeness.

The frame is perfect to take a stroll around town and the puncture-proof wheels permit you to take it off road or over rough terrain. It's also a smart option if you're thinking of having another child in the near future since it can easily be converted from a single pram to a double or twin pushchair.

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

Its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket and puncture-proof tires are the kind of things you'd expect on a premium pram however, its sleek frame makes it easy to handle on a variety of terrains. This is an excellent choice for those who live in the city and have to navigate narrow streets or congested pathways frequently. This pram is not cheap but its versatility and quality could save you money over time by avoiding the purchase of a separate toddler stroller. It's available in a broad selection of colors and you can pick one that fits your personal style.
