Why Buy a Pram Set?
A pram set will simplify your family's travel plans, and will save you money over buying each item individually. The most common items are a carrycot with a lie-flat for newborns or pushchair, as well as an the i-Size car seat.
Newborns must be able to lie flat as this is best for their developing lungs. All prams included in this guide will allow your baby to lie flat.
1. Combination pram
Combination prams are an excellent option for families. They are suitable from birth and can be used in conjunction with a capsule or car seat (most baby car seats can be attached to prams with a click of an button). The pram grows with the child and can be transformed from a bassinet in to an actual stroller.
A good choice is the Junama TerMO MIX is a contemporary pram that can be used in conjunction with the Maxi Cosi Micro Plus baby travel system. This combination pram is suitable for babies from birth using the capsule and can later grow into an adult-sized stroller that can accommodate children up to 4 years old. This combination pram eliminates multiple car seats and strollers. It saves you space and money in your home or the boot of your vehicle.
The Junama TERMO Mix comes with a large shopping bag which comes with a stylish matching rain cover, nappy cover and mosquito net. It is also light and easy to maneuver making it a great option for urban living. It comes with swivel wheels that allow it to maneuver through tight spaces and can be folded down in one move. It comes with a one-handed lock that makes it easier to get your child in and out of the stroller. The footmuff is adjustable and can be used in winter.
When you are choosing the right car seat and pram combination, you need to consider the features that matter most to you. Safety is the primary factor to consider - does the car seat have a five-point harness? Does it meet Australian Safety Standards and is it compatible with the pram you are contemplating? A lot of combos are compact travel pram and compact, which is great when you are limited with space in your car's boot or rely on taxis/ride-hailing apps to travel around. It is also a good idea to check the boot size of the pram you are contemplating and whether it can fit in your trunk. You should also consider the height of the handles so that you can reach them easily when pushing.
2. Twin pram
Whether you have twins or two siblings of different age groups, a side-by side pram is a great method to get them both out and about. This double buggy is able to fit into most standard car boot spaces and can be used with toddler seats, infant car seats or baby carry cots. The seats can be adjusted in numerous ways to ensure your children are comfortable. There are five recline positions, a large sun canopy, and peek-a -boo Hoods that protect your children from the elements. The wheels also provide excellent suspension for rough terrain.
Side by side prams are great for siblings that are close in age, since they can interact with each other and play together. However, this could result in snack theft and toy fights. You might find that one child is placed in the back seat, while the other sits in the front, which could be dangerous. Place a small, soft towel or blanket between the seats to ensure that they do not touch. This allows you to control their movements.
If you're looking for a set of two prams be sure to check the dimensions of the seat bases since they might not fit in your car's boot or be able to fold down to the height you need. It is also important to consider the space available at home to store the buggy when it is not in use, and the location you'll be keeping it when it's folded.
The Graco Twin City Mini is a great option for parents who are looking for an affordable double pram and comes with a lot of features. This side-by-side pram is easy to maneuver, and has several recline positions for the seats and a big basket underneath each seat. The canopy provides great protection from sun or rain, and the windows let you keep an eye on your twins and ensure that they are secure. The seats that are stadium-style let both kids enjoy a stunning view.
3. Single Pram sets
A single pram is made to seat a single baby. They are designed to provide a safe, comfortable place for your little one to ride in, and give you the possibility of creating a unique travel experience. You can personalize your lightweight stroller by adding accessories, such as an earplug to keep your baby warm and dry.
Consider how the pram can fit into your lifestyle, budget and what features are important to you. Choose a stroller that can be folded quickly and easily (or even with one hand). The most reliable prams let you fold down the chassis flat to make it easy to store. It's also worth thinking about whether you'd like a stroller or pram that has the option to connect a toddler board.
Strollers are a great choice for families with active children. They usually come with a suspension system that provides an easy ride on rough surfaces. They are usually smaller than prams and are able to fold up, making them a good option for travellers. A stroller with a basket for storage is ideal. It must also have plenty of space in the hood to store baby's gear. Also, a reclining seat and the handles that are padded are ideal.
You might want to consider a double-convertible pram should you be planning on having another child in the next three years. It can be used as one stroller travel if your child is young and then converted to a double by adding an additional seat or bassinet. You can avoid having to purchase and maintain two prams.
Side-by-side double prams are a great choice for twins as they offer the children equally seated and a view of each other. However, they are typically bigger than a single stroller and therefore are more difficult to maneuver, especially in busy shopping centres or on busy streets. If you're considering buying a side-by-side double pram make sure it's compatible with car capsules so that you can use it while your infant is in the capsule and then change to a single mode when your older child is ready.
