Choosing the Right Prams Pushchairs If you're expecting a child it's worthwhile buying a baby stroller that will last. Look for models with a compact size, that are easily maneuverable and have the right accessories. For infants, a stroller that allows a full lie flat position is essential since lying flat assists in the development of the lung and spinal cord. Newborns can also be placed in a cocoon or carrycot that fits onto the chassis of the pram. Choosing the right pram A pushchair or pram is a thing that children will spend many hours in, so it's vital to select the right one to meet their needs. There are many considerations, including size and weight, storage options, safety features, as well as the overall appearance and feel of the pushchair. Consider your lifestyle. If you are frequent users of public transportation then a compact and lightweight stroller is a good option. If you have children who enjoy walking or hiking, an all-terrain stroller may be more suitable for rough terrain and trails. If you're planning to travel, you might want to select a travel-friendly pram that folds compact enough to fit in an overhead compartment for luggage on flights. Choose if you want a stroller that is three or four-wheeled. Three-wheeled prams are more sturdy on rough surfaces but four-wheeled models offer greater maneuverability and can carry greater weight. It's a good idea to visit shops that let you test-drive prams, as it will give you an understanding of the way they move and how easy or difficult they are to push. If you are deciding which kind of pram you want to purchase, you should look for one that meets Australian Product Safety Standards. This includes a five-point safety harness, a locking mechanism on the brakes, and an adult tether strap that can be used to keep children in a safe place in the event that the pram falls over. It's also worth looking into adding additional accessories to your stroller like the footmuff or sun canopy. A sun canopy will protect your child from sun's rays, as well as to prevent overheating. Make sure that the canopy is UPF 50+ rating. Another thing to think about is the possibility of a changing bag. A changing bag can be a great way to transport your baby's necessities. It is likely to have many compartments and pockets that are ideal for snacks, toys and nappies. Depending on what brand of pram you choose it might come with a changing mat that could be removed from the bag for easy and quick diaper changes. Look for a changing mat with a soft lining, and preferably if it is waterproof. Convertible prams If you're looking for one pushchair that grows with your family convertible prams are ideal choice. They usually start out as single prams, but they also have the possibility of adding a second child or carrycot and also accommodate car seats when needed. These models offer a huge amount of flexibility and are usually the most popular choice for parents with growing families. Apart from their stylish appearance, these prams are typically lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. Some have a large canopy that provides great UV protection and plenty of storage. They are ideal to run errands and get to and from parks. The Joolz Geo 3 is a sleek, simple-to-manoeuvre and robust pram that's perfect for newborns all the way to toddlers. It comes in a variety of colors and comes with a five-point harness to ensure safety as well as locking wheels. It's also very spacious and has a tall seat that makes it suitable for older children. Another option is an alternative is Cybex Gazelle, which can be used as a double or a single with a seat or cot. It can even accommodate a child board for friends or siblings. And best of all, it is able to move like a dream, despite being loaded with kids and groceries. Look into the egg2 if you're searching for a fashionable and affordable double pram. It's stylish design and comes in a variety of different colors. It can be used as a twin pram or with a combination of seats and a carrycot for infants up to four years old. Another option that is worth considering is the Bugaboo Donkey 5. The latest version is simpler to fold and steer than its predecessor. It's also more durable, and comes with a bigger basket. It can also be converted to twin prams by attaching two cocoons side-by-side. If you require an additional seat, you can add a bassinet or car seat. Side-by side prams If you're expecting twins, or have a toddler and a young baby, a quality double pushchair can make family trips so much easier. Also known as tandem prams they allow your children to sit side-by-side and see each other. They're also usually wider than single-to-double strollers, but are still simple to move around, even up and down kerbs. They can have an attachment in front for a third child that's often referred to as a Joey Seat and is an excellent method of keeping children close while also giving them an expansive view of the world around them. Check if the model that you're considering comes with this feature. There are a variety of options, such as the Valco Baby Trend Duo Twin stroller or Zoe Twin Trio. Many parents opt for twin strollers because they can be used from the time of birth. They can fit babies in carrycots as well as toddlers in their seats. Some are fixed as double buggies, but others such as the Cybex Venus Twin can convert into a single stroller with large undercarriage baskets – handy for when your children are old enough to walk. You can also opt for a side by side pram, like the Phil & Teds Vist v2 double. It is sturdy and comes with plenty of storage. It also has the option to add a second seat to allow for an additional child. The hood was too short for my friend's tall child but it is an excellent option if you have older children. Anything that's able to carry two children is likely to be very heavy, especially if you're using it with a newborn in a carrycot and an infant in an infant seat. Examine the weight of the whole pushchair including any seats or carrycots. This could be a problem for some families. Some models have a maximum frame weight and a weight limit for the seats/carrycots. This can help you choose what's most suitable for your family. For example, the Joolz Geo 3 Twin has a maximum weight of 16kg for both seats. Twin prams Parents of two children of the same age will need twin prams. There are a variety of double travel systems on the market. They differ in design and price, but they all come with safety features. Inline twin prams usually feature a seat that is on top of the other with a canopy in between. These types of prams are popular because they offer a large amount of shade and protection from the elements. Many come with hoods that can be opened to allow parents to monitor their kids. However, this kind of twin pram is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs and is often quite bulky making it hard to fit in small 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 seat systems to create a complete travel system. However, they do have one drawback in that children are not separated, which can result in snack theft and toy fighting between children. Pushchairs And Prams start as single buggies. They can be upgraded to include a second seat at the front, back or under. Most tandems come with an infant bassinet on the top and a toddler in second position. This is a fantastic and cost-effective option for parents with twins or children of different in age. Modern twin prams models can be folded down to a very compact size, making them easier to maneuver. This can reduce the amount of space available for storage of nappy bags and shopping. In addition, it is difficult to carry a twin pram into and out of the trunk of a car, especially when it is an SUV that has a lip that requires you to raise the pram over to access it in.
