Why Buy a Pram Set?
A pram set will make your family’s travel plans and will save you money over buying each item individually. It usually includes a parent facing pushchair seat, a newborn carrycot that can be folded flat and an i-Size child car seat.
Newborns need to lie flat as this is best for their developing lungs. All prams on this buying guide allow your baby to do this.
1. Combination pram
A combination pram is an excellent option for families. They are suitable from birth and can be used in conjunction with a car seat or capsule (most baby car seats can be attached to prams by a touch of the button). The pram then grows with the child, going from a bassinet into an actual stroller.
A great option is the Junama TerMO MIX, a modern pram that can be used with the Maxi Cosi Micro Plus baby travel system. The combination pram can be used from birth, along with the capsule, and later becomes a stroller seat that can be used by an infant up to age four. This pram is a combination of car seats and strollers, saving you space and money in your garage or at home of your vehicle.
The Junama TERMO Mix features a large shopping bag which comes with a stylish matching nappy cover, rain cover, and mosquito net. It is also lightweight and easy to move around making it a great choice for city living. It is easy to maneuver around tight spaces due to its swivel wheel design. It can also be folded down with one movement. It comes with a single-handed fastener that makes it simpler to get your child into and out of the stroller. The footmuff can be adjustable and can be used in winter.
When choosing a pram and car seat combination, you need to look at the features that are most important to you. Safety is the primary factor – does the seat come with a five-point harness? Does it meet Australian Safety Standards and is it compatible with the pram you’re looking at? Many combos are compact and can be advantageous if your car has a small boot space or you depend on ride-hailing apps or taxis for transportation. Examine the size of the trunk and boot of the prams you’re considering. It is also a good idea to examine the handle’s height to ensure you can easily reach it when pushing and to make sure it has handles that can be adjusted.
2. Twin pram
A side-by-side pram is a great method to transport twins or siblings of various age. This double buggy can fit into most standard boot spaces. It can be used with car seats for toddlers and infant car seats as well as baby carry cots. The seats can be adjusted in various ways to ensure your kids are comfortable. There are 5 reclining options, a huge sun canopy, and peek-a-boo hoods that help shield them from the elements while the wheels offer exceptional suspension for bumpy terrain.
It is a great idea for siblings of similar ages to share prams. This allows them to play together and to interact. However, this could lead to snack stealing and toy disputes. If you’re not careful, you may end with one child sitting in the backseat and the other being forced forward, which can be extremely dangerous. Put a small towel or blanket between the seats to ensure that they do not touch. This will allow you to regulate their movements.
If you’re looking for a double pram set be sure to check the dimensions of the seat’s base as they might not fit into your car’s boot or fold down to the desired height. You should also take into consideration the amount of space available in your home to store the buggy when not in use, and where you’ll store it when it’s folded.
The Graco Twin City Mini is an excellent choice parents who want a double pram that’s affordable and has oodles of features. This side-by-side pram is a breeze to maneuver and offers multiple reclining seating positions for the seats as well as a large under-seat basket. The canopy provides excellent protection against sunlight or rain while the windows allow you to monitor them and ensure their security. The seats in the stadium style let both kids enjoy a stunning view.
3. Single pram
A single pram can only fit one child. The prams are designed to offer an enviable, safe space for your child to travel in and let you create an unforgettable experience. You can personalize your pram with accessories like a cosy footmuff or rain cover, to keep your baby safe and comfortable from the elements.
Consider how the pram can fit into your budget, lifestyle and what features are the most important to yourself. Choose a model that can fold easily, and quickly (or even one-handed). The most reliable prams let you fold the chassis flat so that it is easy to store. It is also important to consider whether you want to buy a stroller fitted with a toddler board.
Strollers are a great choice for families with active children. They’re usually fitted with a suspension system that provides smooth riding on uneven surfaces. They are typically smaller than prams, and they can be folded up easily. This makes them an ideal choice for travel. A stroller with a basket for storage is ideal. It must also have plenty of space in the hood for you to store baby gear. Also a reclining seat as well as the handles that are padded are ideal.
You might want to think about a double convertible stroller should you be planning on having a second child in the next three years. They can be used for one stroller if your child is still small, and then transformed into a double with the addition of an additional seat or bassinet. They can help you avoid having to buy and maintain two prams at the same time.
Side-by-side double prams can be a great choice for twins as they provide the children with equal seating and a view of each other. They are larger than single prams and therefore less maneuverable in busy shopping centres and on busy streets. If you’re thinking of purchasing a double pram that is side-by-side make sure it’s compatible with capsules for cars so that you can use it when your newborn is in the capsule, and then switch to a single-mode when your older child is ready.
