Why Buy a Pram and Pushchair 2 in 1?
2-in-1 prams are made to meet the needs of modern families. They seamlessly transform from comfortable carrycots to practical pushchairs. They're also ideal to reduce the cost of parenting by removing the need for a separate pram and pushchairs.
You should choose an infant pram with a flat seat and ideally the bassinet. It's also worth checking whether the fabrics can be machine washed.
Versatile and stylish
The variety of products that are available on the market can be overwhelming. With a myriad of categories and names such as buggies, prams, pushchairs and travel systems, it is difficult to understand what is available and how each type of item fits. A pram differs from a pushchair in that it can be used in a flat position. This is a great option for babies and newborns until six months old.
A pram 2 in 1 can then transform into a pushchair when your little one is ready to sit up and explore their surroundings. This flexibility eliminates the need for separate pram and pushchair purchases, providing mobility without compromising safety and security.
The compact fold of a pram 2 in 1 makes it simple to store in small spaces like the boot of your car or in a cupboard at home. It is lightweight and sturdy, making it easy to move around city streets or on public transport. Many products also come with an extended sun canopy to protect your child from harmful UV rays while the wipeable fabrics are simple to clean.
You can customize your stroller as your child grows with accessories and extras. The reclined seat, for example, can be adjusted to various positions to ensure that your child can be in an upright or semi-reclined position, while the hood is adjustable in various ways, depending on your preferences. You can also purchase an infant tray, footmuff or a console for parents to complete your pram. A pushchair/pushchair that doubles as a pram, also includes bags that are handy for storing bottles, nappies and other necessities on your journey.
Convenient on-the-go
The versatility of a pram and pushchair 2 in one means that you can easily adapt to different scenarios when you're on the move, whether it's navigating busy streets or enjoying a peaceful stroll in the park. A cosy carrycot will help your baby to relax and sleep. For older babies and toddlers, a large seat will allow them to sit and enjoy the view.
A 2-in-1 stroller provides the convenience and lightweight frame which is ideal for traveling. It's easy to navigate busy airports, malls and towns with your child. Some prams, such as the Kiddicare Cloud 2 in 1 allows you to select the appropriate car seat (sold separately) to turn it into a travel set-up and provide you with peace of mind from birth.
Other features essential to a pram and pushchair 2in1 include an adjustable handlebar that offers a comfortable and safe pushing experience for parents of all sizes, a generous storage basket that is ideal for storing your baby's necessities and many other accessories, including an apron, raincover and bottle holder. Furthermore, many models feature a fold that's similar to an umbrella fold, which allows for convenient and quick storage.
Make sure your chosen pushchair and pram can be machine-washed for easier cleaning. If not it is, you can spot clean them using warm water and mild detergent. This will keep your apron and stroller looking fresh for a long time.
Space-efficient
A 2-in-1 pram or pushchair can save you space and money as your child develops. A 2-in-1 travel set-up includes the carrycot, a pushchair and an infant seat that can be used either separately or together as your child grows. The 2-in-1 pram is designed to be used right from birth, and later converted into a pushchair when your child is tall enough to sit. This eliminates the need to purchase separate prams and pushchairs.
In general 2-in-1 strollers can be modified by adding or removing features like the car seat base or infant carrier. These additional accessories can have an impact on the basket size of the pushchair, so it's advisable to compare this between different brands.
A hood/parasol, for example is a great item to shield your child from sun's harmful UV radiation. It also shields them from rain and wind. Selecting a parasol that is able to be attached to the pram can ensure that your baby isn't overheated when they walk.
A good hood or parasol is made of SPF/UPF 50+ fabric that will provide the most effective UV protection to your baby. Check that the hood and fabric can be washed in the washing machine so that cleaning is quick and easy. Some hoods can be cleaned using the hose, or using water and washing liquid. You can also use wet wipes. The changing bags are a great addition to the 2-in-1 pram and should be spacious, with multiple pockets for maximum organization and bottle holders with insulated bottles for cold drinks. They also come with a convenient changing mat and detachable shoulder strap for comfortable carrying.
Safe and secure
A 2-in-1 pram and pushchair is a great option for parents looking to save money and give their child the best experience. Choose a model designed with your child in mind and comes with features that will make travel a breeze. For instance, a reclining chair that lets your child lay down or relax while you go about your daily activities with adjustable sun hoods, and wipeable fabric will aid in preventing any accidents caused by food spillages or potty-training.
Choose a stroller which comes with a reliable brake system as well as two locking mechanisms to stop the chassis from folding in error while using. This will give you peace of mind that your child is safe and sound throughout the day. Check that the pushchair is capable of supporting the maximum weight of your child and ensure that all straps, catches and buckles are secure.
If you are an urban walker choose a lightweight pushchair and pram that folds compactly to fit into tight spaces, like in public transport or in your boot. Or if you prefer walking for long distances, choose an affluent style of pram like the Silver Cross 3D or Mamas and Papas Pramette that offers your child a comfortable ride and is able to handle bumpier terrain. These prams are usually larger and can be difficult to get on and off of trains and buses. They might also require a big car boot to store them.
From your birth, you are a suitable candidate
The choice between a pushchair or a pram is one of the most crucial decisions for new parents. The second is a stroller that can be transformed into a car or infant carrier. The one is a baby carrier with a carrycot. Based on your baby's age and height the one you choose will be more suitable for you than the other.
Many 2-in-1 strollers can accommodate newborns in a bassinet that can be fully lie-flat, and then convert into a pushchair using a reclined position and hood. For two in one pram comes with a comfortable cushioned seat that has a soft liner and a fully adjustable hood that gives excellent protection from rain. It also has a viewing window, so you can keep an eye on your little one without disrupting their nap.
You can choose between a parent-facing and world-facing seat configuration for your newborn to toddler, and the option of adding an isofix base or car seat (if you don't have a compatible infant carrier). A majority of our 2-in-1 prams are offered as travel systems that can be used from birth when you add an appropriate car seat to the frame.
You can also buy a matching changing bag with insulated bottle pockets and multiple pockets to store your personal items and keep everything you require neatly organized in a handy spot. The majority of pushchairs have an easy-to-use shopping basket, and some come with a handy storage compartment at the back for everything you need. If you are planning to spend your time in the sun, you should consider an all-in-one stroller that comes with a parasol that extends and offers SPF/UPF50+ protection.
