Prams: It's Not As Difficult As You Think

What's the Difference Between Prams, Buggys and Pushchairs?

A nimble and lightweight pushchair that is lightweight and compact, the Mamas & Papas model nips easily through city settings and can be used as a part of a travel set-up with the addition of the carrycot. It's great for rural terrain, too, with foam-filled tires.

The flat lying-flat position of a pram is perfect for babies, since it helps them breathe and develop. These types of prams usually have a bassinet attachment or cocoon.

Baby Carriage

Parents who are new to the world can have a hard time choosing the right baby's transportation. The terms pram, buggy and pushchair are commonly used and it is not always clear which one is the most appropriate.

The term pram was used to refer to any wheeled device for carrying children. They ranged from hand-held baskets to huge, ornately decorated carriages that were pulled by draft animals or a human. They were typically made of shells and usually featured a hood, handlebar and storage space. In the 19th century the improvements were made to prams to ensure they were safe for infants and their caregivers. Some of these improvements included adding a break, folding models and parasol designs.

The modern stroller is the flexibility and practical alternative to the traditional pram. It features a large deep bassinet or carrycot, as well as a comfortable child's seat that can be adjusted to recline. Many prams are also convertible into pushchairs by using the same chassis, which includes an additional car seat and carrycot.

As babies get older, they're able to move from the pram to a pushchair. The difference between the two isn't that important, but pushchairs for older babies are better for longer walks and travel. The seat is more spacious and often faces away from the parent to allow for exploration, but also toward them when bonding. A majority of pushchairs have an umbrella as well as a storage basket and handlebar that can be adjusted to suit the needs of an expanding infant.

Babyfair offers a wide selection of pushchairs, prams and baby buggy models. You can even opt for an e-travel system that gives you the best of both worlds - an infant pram that can be converted into a pushchair, and comes with car seats that snap into place on the base. The baby can easily be moved from or into the stroller without waking them up or causing any fuss. This is perfect for long walks or travelling. The chassis is lightweight and folds up compactly, allowing it to fit into a trunk or the boot of a car with ease.

Travel System

Travel systems are the best choice for parents who want to travel with their infant in the comfort of their home. A travel system is a frame that you can attach a car seat or carrycot to, allowing you to transfer your sleeping baby from car to stroller without disturbing them.

A great option for parents who are just beginning their journey, a travel system will ensure that your child is comfortable and safe from birth to. It will also give you the flexibility of using a car capsule for the first few months while they are still young, and then switching to a pushchair seat unit once they are large enough. Consider purchasing travel systems that include car seat adaptors if you're thinking of buying a car seat.

The contemporary-looking Egg 2 pram comes with sleek, lightweight pushchair chassis and car seat adaptors that let you use it with most leading car seats. The ergonomic handles are shaped in a Y-shape to offer the user with a more comfortable grip. We also like the flat folding mechanism that makes it easy to complete folding pram. Its puncture-free tyres also have a unique egg-shaped tread design that adds to its chic design.

It's suitable from birth and can be used in conjunction with the Oyster 3 Carrycot or the new Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus Car Seat (car seat and adapters are sold separately). The luxurious, dual-sided Memory Foam Cushioning offers extra warmth on one end and coolness on the other to ensure your baby is comfortable. We also love its one-handed recline function which gives a full range of positions and an enormous sun hood that's easy to fit should the weather take a turn for the worse.

If you're looking to expand your family, this sleek and contemporary pram quickly transforms into a double pushchair thanks to its Helix+ attachment that clicks onto the chassis. You can enjoy a comfortable ride with your growing family and make unforgettable memories. The 360-degree rotation, reclining, and other features can be adjusted to meet the changing conditions.

Pram

Prams are designed for newborns and infants who aren't able to sit up or stand up straight with their heads. They offer a flat surface for your baby to lay on while you're out and about. They're a great alternative to strollers, and could be better suited to your baby for a few minutes.

It is beneficial for the development of the lungs of infants to lie flat. They'll be prone to slouching when propped up, which is not good for them. It can also affect their breathing. Prams enable your baby to lay flat and be supported, which makes them more comfortable and safe when you go out.

A lot of prams come with a hood that can be reduced to protect your child from the elements. Many prams come with an enormous basket that can store all the baby's belongings. They also come with a retractable cover that shields your child from the sun and rain. Most prams are easy to clean. Simply vacuum the fabric, or wipe it down with a damp cloth. It is best to remove the wheels from your stroller, wash them in a bathtub or sink, and let them dry completely before installing them. Make sure your pushchair is compliant with the Australian Safety Standard to keep your baby secure.

Strollers are a bit more advanced than prams as they're made for children who can sit up. They can recline, and the handlebars are adjustable to provide parents with maximum comfort for their child. They're usually a lot lighter than prams, and have wheels that are smaller, which means they're easier to manoeuvre. The majority of strollers come with a hood that can be zipped down to give your baby protection from the sun, and they're sometimes fitted with a bassinet or carrycot for younger babies.

It is more difficult to maintain a stroller than a pram, but it is important to maintain it to ensure your child is happy. Find a stroller that is machine washable to make cleaning easier. Use a soft cloth and mild soap or washing liquid to clean the spot. A footmuff can be a useful accessory in colder temperatures. Make sure to choose a product with a soft inner lining and a waterproof outer.

Convertible

A convertible pram can be converted into a double babiie stroller with the addition of a second seat. This is a great option for those who are planning to have another child or have one. This kind of stroller comes with many advantages over a traditional side-by-side double stroller, for example the ability to accommodate two or more children of different ages, better maneuverability over rough terrain, and more options for seating configurations.

Some convertible strollers can be adapted to accommodate up to 24 different seating configurations that allow parents to pick between putting one child in the bassinet, and another in the car seat, or reverse the situation, with both seats facing forward and one backward or even having three children (with a ride-along board). The main drawback of this type of stroller is that it is heavier than other types because it has to be able to support two seats and their weight.

The best convertible stroller options have a strong and sturdy frame that can handle the additional weight of a second child without compromising stability or safety. They also come with large storage baskets and comfortable seats that adjust to accommodate different-sized kids. Compare features and prices when making comparisons between strollers convertible.

Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a stroller that can grow with your family and you. This jogger stroller is versatile and can be converted from a single stroller to a double stroller by adding the second seat or Rumble Seat.

This includes weather shields and foot muffs, baby tray, parent consoles and a carry bag. It's important to keep in mind that this stroller might not be the best choice for traveling as it may be difficult to maneuver on unpaved or rocky roads.
