Choosing the Right Prams Pushchairs

It's worthwhile to invest in a pram if you're expecting a child. Find models that are small size, that are easy to maneuver and have the appropriate accessories.

A pram with a fully flat-laying position is perfect for newborns. This is because laying completely flat encourages lung and spinal development. Newborns can also be accommodated in a carrycot or cocoon that can be attached to the chassis of the pram.

The right folding pram

A pushchair or pram is something a child will spend much time in, which is why it's crucial to choose the best one to meet their needs. The factors to consider include the weight and size of the pram, the storage options, the safety features, as well as the overall design and feel.

Take into consideration your lifestyle. If you use public transport often, a lightweight and compact pram might be the best choice. For families who enjoy walking or hiking, an all-terrain pram might be better suited for trails and rough terrain. If you're planning on travelling and you're planning to travel, you may want choose a travel stroller that folds down small enough to fit in an overhead cabin luggage space on flights.

Decide whether you want a pram with four or three-wheeled. Three-wheeled prams are more stable on rough surfaces, however, four-wheeled models offer more manoeuvrability and can handle heavier loads. You should visit shops where you can test drive good prams. This will give you a sense of how they move and if they are easy to push.

When you decide what type of pram to buy You should choose one that is compliant with Australian Product Safety Standards. This includes a five point safety harness as well as an electronic locking brake system, and an adult tether that can be used to hold children in the case of a pram tipping over.

Consider adding accessories to your pram such as a sun canopy or footmuff. A sun canopy can protect your child from sun's rays, and also prevent overheating. Make sure that the canopy has an UPF 50+ rating.

Another thing to think about is a changing bag. A changing bag is a great way to transport your baby's necessities. It will usually have numerous compartments and pockets that are ideal for snacks, toys and nappies. Depending on what brand of pram you select it might come with an adjustable changing mat that can be removed from the bag for quick and simple diaper changes. A soft fabric and waterproof material are the most important features to look for in a changing pad.

Convertible prams

Side-by-side prams

If you're expecting twins or have a toddler and a young baby, a high-quality double pushchair can make family trips much more enjoyable. Also known as tandem prams these are the kind that let your kids sit side-by-side and look at each one another. They are also generally wider than single-to-double strollers but are still easy to maneuver, even up and down kerbs.

They may have an attachment on the front for a third child that's commonly referred to as a joey chair and can be an excellent way to keep children close while also giving them a view of the world around them. Find out if the model you are looking at has this feature. There are many choices, including the Valco Baby Trend Duo Twin stroller or Zoe Twin Trio.

Twin prams are a very popular option because they can be used from birth and can accommodate newborns in their carrycots, or toddlers in their seats. Some are built as double buggies but others like the Cybex Venus Twin can convert into a single stroller with large undercarriage baskets - useful for children who are old enough to walk.

You could also opt for a side-by-side pram like the Phil & Teds Vist v2 Double. It is sturdy and has plenty of storage. There's also an option to include a second seat to allow for an additional child. Its hood was a bit small for my friend's tall toddler, but it's a great option for older children.

It's likely to weigh a lot especially if you are using it with two babies, one in a carrycot and the other in the seat. Be sure to know how much the whole pushchair (including any seats or carrycots) weighs prior to purchasing because this could be a problem for some families. Some models have a maximum frame weight as well as a weight limit for the seats/carrycots. This will help you choose what's best for your family. For example the Joolz Geo 3 Twin has an upper limit of 16kg for both seats.

Twin prams

Twin prams are essential for parents of two young children of the same age. There are a variety of double travel systems on the market. They vary in style and price, but all have safety features.

Inline twin prams typically have one seat over the other with a canopy in between. These types of prams have become popular because they offer a lot of shade and protection from the elements. Some also come with hoods with peek-a-boo that allow parents to keep a close eye on their children. However, this kind of twin pram is difficult to maneuver up and down kerbs and is often quite bulky making it hard to fit in car boots.

Side-byside twin prams are generally larger overall and provide more seating flexibility. They can be used in conjunction with twin infant car seats, so they can be a complete travel system for toddlers and infants. They do have one downside, however. The children are not separated, and this could cause snack-stealing or toy fights.

Tandem prams begin as single buggies. They can be upgraded to include a second seat in the back, front or underneath. Most tandems are designed with an infant bassinet on the top and a toddler in second position. This is a very versatile and cost-effective option for parents with twins or children of different ages as it extends the lifespan of your buggy.

Some of the most modern twin prams are able to be folded down to a compact travel stroller size, making them more convenient to move. However, this could reduce the amount of storage space that is available for nappy bags and shopping etc. It can also be difficult to carry a twin pram into and out of the boot of a car, particularly if it is a sedan-style vehicle with a lip requires you to lift the pram up over in order to get it in.
