The Three Greatest Moments In Pram Sets History
Why Buy a Pram Set?
A pram set will make your family's travel plans and reduce costs compared to buying each item separately. The most common items are a carrycot with a lie-flat for newborns, foldable pushchair seat and i-Size car seat.
Newborns should be laid flat as this is best for their developing lungs. All prams in this buying guide allow your baby to do so.
1. Combination pram
A combination pram is an excellent option for families. They are suitable from the time of birth and can be used in conjunction with a car seat or capsule (most baby car seats can be attached to prams with a click of a button). The pram expands with the child and can be changed from a bassinet to the stroller.
A good choice is the Junama TERMO MIX is a contemporary pram that can be used with the Maxi Cosi Micro Plus baby travel system. This combination pram is suited for babies from birth using the capsule and can later grow into an e-stretcher style seat that can carry children up to 4 years old. This combination pram eliminates multiple car seats and strollers, saving you space and money in your garage or at home of your vehicle.
The Junama TERMO MIX comes with an enormous shopping basket that includes a chic matching nappies bag, rain cover and mosquito net. It is also lightweight and easy to move around making it a perfect choice for city living. It comes with swivel wheels that help you navigate tight spaces. It is also able to be folded down in one motion. It has a one-handed fastener which makes it easier to get your child into and out of the stroller. The footmuff is reversible and can be used during winter.
When you are choosing a pram and car seat combination, you need to consider the features that matter most to you. Safety is the most important factor to consider - does the car seat come with a five-point harness? Does it meet Australian Safety Standards and is it compatible with the pram you're contemplating? Many of the combos are compact, which can be a plus if your vehicle has a small boot space or you depend on ride-hailing apps or taxis for transportation. Check the size of the trunk as well as the boot of the prams that you are looking at. It is also a good idea to examine the handle height so you can easily reach it when pushing, and to check that it has handles that can be adjusted.
2. Twin pram
A side-byside pram is a great option to transport twins or siblings of various age groups. This double buggy can fit in most standard car boot spaces and can be used with infant seats, toddler car seats, or baby carry cots. The seats can be adjusted to suit your child's comfort. They can be convertible. There are 5 reclining options, a large sun canopy and peek-aboo hoods to help protect them from the elements, while the wheels provide exceptional suspension for rough terrain.
It is a great idea for siblings with similar age groups to have side by side prams. This allows them to play together and to interact. However, this can also cause snack theft and toy squabbles. If you're not vigilant, you could end having one child seated in the backseat, and the other one being pulled forward, which could be very risky. One good suggestion is to place a small blanket or towel between the seats to stop them from touching so that you can control their movements easily.
When shopping for a double pram set be sure to check the dimensions of the seat's base as they may not fit in your car's boot and/or fold down to your desired height. It is also important to consider how much space is available in your home to keep the buggy in storage when not in use, and also where you intend to keep it after it's folded.
Parents seeking a budget-friendly but well-equipped double pram need to look no further than the Graco Twin City Mini. This side-by-side stroller is easy to maneuver, and has several reclining positions on the seats and a big basket underneath each seat. The canopies provide an excellent shield against sun or rain, and the windows allow you to monitor the kids and ensure their safety. The seats are stadium style, meaning that both kids have a great view of the world around them.
3. Single pram
A single pram can only accommodate one baby. They are designed to be a safe, comfortable place for your baby stroller to ride in and offer the opportunity to create an unforgettable travel experience. You can personalize your pram by adding accessories like a footmuff to keep your baby dry and warm.
Consider how the pram will work with your lifestyle, budget and what features are important to yourself. Choose a stroller that folds quickly and easily (or even with just one hand). The most reliable prams let you fold down the chassis flat for easy storage. It's also worth considering whether you want a pram or stroller that allows you to attach a toddler board.
Strollers are an excellent choice for families that are active and usually come with a suspension system that will ensure a smooth ride on uneven surfaces. They are usually more compact than prams and can fold easily. This makes them a great option for travel. Look for a stroller that includes a basket for storage and plenty of room in the hood to store baby equipment. Also, a reclining seat and the handles that are padded are ideal.
If you're planning to have a second child in the next 3 years, then a convertible double pram may be worth a look. They can be used for a single stroller when your child is still small, and then converted to a double with the addition of the second seat or bassinet. It is possible to not have to purchase and maintain two prams.
Side-by-side double prams can be a ideal choice for twins since they offer the children equal seats and a view of one other. However, they are typically wider than a single pram and are therefore less maneuverable particularly in busy shopping centers or on busy streets. If you're considering a double side-byside pram be sure that it is compatible with capsules for cars. This allows you to use it while your baby is in the capsule and then switch it back to single mode when your older child is old enough.
