The best pram for you needs to work with your home, lifestyle, budget and, of course, your baby. With hundreds of designs on the market, it can be difficult knowing which is the right one for you. To give you a helping hand, we’ve put 16 of the top, market-leading models to the test.
A pram is probably the single, most expensive piece of baby kit you’re going to buy and, with some premium models costing upwards of £1,500, you don’t want to splash out and get it wrong.
When choosing a pram, you need to think about your particular lifestyle needs, the type of terrain you’ll be pushing it on, how and where you’re going to store it, how heavy it is and, if you’ve got a car, does it fit in the boot? Because it's a problem if it doesn't. Picking the right pram will make excursions with your baby an enjoyable, relaxing experience, picking the wrong one and you'll dread heading out with them.
This guide covers every budget and style of pram, with something for both ‘city slicker’ parents and those who live in the country. Read on for our reviewers’ honest feedback on the best prams on the market now and find the right one for you.
Best prams 2023 - our top pick
In a hurry to find the best pram for a newborn baby? The Ickle Bubba Stomp gets our vote. It's not the cheapest pram we've tested but it represents brilliant value for money as it comes with absolutely everything you need to get out and about with your baby from day one. There's no need to fork out for compatible extras or accessories. This pram is a marriage of style and practicality - it looks glam but it has a huge shopping basket. Our tester found it a dream to push, especially on bumpier terrain including country parks and coastal paths. Best of all, she found the plush materials super easy to clean - always a bonus with a newborn baby.
