Why Buy a Pram Set?
A pram set can simplify your family's travel plans, and save you money compared to buying each item separately. They typically include the pushchair seat, a baby carrycot that can be folded flat and an iSize child car seat.
Newborns must be able to lie flat since this is best for their developing lungs. All prams in this guide will allow your baby to lie flat.
1. Combination pram
A combination pram is an excellent option for families. They are suitable from the time of birth and can be used with a capsule or car seat (most baby car seats can be connected to prams at the touch of a button). The pram expands with the baby and can be converted from a bassinet in to the stroller.
An excellent option is the Junama TERMO MIX, a modern pram that can be used with the Maxi Cosi Micro Plus baby travel system. This combination pram can be used from birth with the capsule, and later expands into an e-stretcher style seat that can carry children up to 4 years old. This combination pram will eliminate the need for multiple car seats and prams, saving you money and space in your home and boot of your car.
The Junama TERMO MIX comes with a large shopping basket that comes with a stylish matching nappies bag, 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 in tight spaces due to its swivel wheel design. It can also be folded down with just one motion. It has a one-handed fastener which makes it easier to get your child in and out of the stroller. The footmuff can be adjustable and can be used during winter.
When choosing a car seat and pram combo, it is important to consider the features that matter most to you. Safety is the primary factor - does the seat have a five-point harness? Does it meet Australian Safety Standards and is it compatible with the pram you're looking at? A lot of combos are small which is an advantage if your car has a small boot space or you rely on taxis or ride-hailing apps for transportation. It is important to look at the size of the boot of the pram you are considering and whether it will fit in your trunk. It is also a good idea to look at the handle's height so that you can easily reach it when pushing, and to check that it has handles that can be adjusted.
2. Twin pram
A side-by-side stroller is a great option to transport twins or siblings of different ages. This double buggy can fit into most standard boot spaces. It can be used with car seats for toddlers as well as infant car seats or baby carry cots. The seats can be adjusted to fit your child's comfort. They can be adjustable and reversible. There are five reclining positions, a large sun canopy, and peek-a -boo Hoods that protect your children from the elements. The wheels also offer excellent suspension for rough terrain.
Side by side prams work well for siblings who are close in age, because they are able to interact with one another and play together. However, this could lead to snack stealing and toy fights. It is possible that one child is pushed to the back seat, while the other is seated in the front, which could be risky. Place a small, soft towel or blanket between the seats so that they don't touch. This allows you to control the movements of your child.
When shopping for a double pram set be sure to check the dimensions of the seat's base as they might not fit in your car's boot and/or fold down to your desired height. It is also important to take into consideration the amount of space available in your home to store the buggy when not in use, and also where you'll store it once it's folded.
Parents who want a low-cost but well-equipped double childs pram need to look no further than the Graco Twin City Mini. This side by side triple pram is easy to maneuver and comes with numerous recline positions for the seats and a large under-seat basket. The canopies provide excellent protection against sunlight or rain while the windows allow you to keep an eye on them and ensure their safety. The seats in the stadium style let both children enjoy a great view.
3. Single pram
A single pram is able to fit one child. They are designed to be an enjoyable, safe space for your baby to ride in, and give you the possibility of creating an experience that is unique to travel in. You can personalize your pram by adding accessories such as an incredibly soft footmuff or rain cover, to keep your baby comfortable and protected from the elements.
When choosing a pram it is essential to consider how it will fit into your lifestyle and budget, as well as the bells and whistles that are most important to you. Choose a model that folds easily and quickly (or even one-handed). The best prams let you fold the chassis down flat, making it easy to store. It's also worth thinking about whether you'd prefer an infant stroller or a pram and car seat that allows you to attach a toddler board.
Strollers are a great choice for active families and will typically come with a suspension system that will ensure a smooth ride on uneven surfaces. They tend to be smaller than prams, and can fold up, making them a good option for families who travel. A stroller that has an integrated storage basket is ideal. It must also have ample space in the hood to store baby equipment. Also a reclined seat and padded handles are desirable.
You might want to consider a double convertible stroller if you plan on having another child in the next three years. These can be used as a single pram when your first child is small and then converted to double by the addition of an additional seat, bassinet or carry cot. These can save you from having to purchase and maintain two prams at once.
Side-by-side double prams are a excellent choice for twins because they give the children equally seated and a view of each other. They are larger than single prams and are therefore less mobile in busy shopping centres and on busy streets. If you're considering buying a double pram that is side-by-side, ensure that it is compatible with car capsules to allow you to use it when your newborn is in the capsule and then switch to a single-mode when your older child is ready.
