What's the Difference Between Prams, Buggys and Pushchairs? A nimble and lightweight pushchair, this Mamas & Papas model nips effortlessly through urban environments and can be used as part of a travel system with the addition of a carrycot. It's ideal for rural terrain too, with foam-filled tires. The flat lying-flat position of a pram is ideal for infants as it allows them to breathe and grow. These types of prams usually have an attachment for a bassinet or cocoon. Baby Carriage Choosing the right baby transport can be a daunting task for new parents. The terms pram, buggy and pushchair are frequently used, but it's not always clear which is the most appropriate. The term pram has been used for centuries to describe any wheeled child carriage. They ranged from small, hand-held baskets, to large ornately constructed carriages that could be pulled by draft animals. The prams were typically designed to look like shells and had a hood as well as a handlebar. In the 19th century the improvements were made to prams to ensure they were safe for infants and their caretakers. Some of these improvements included breaks model, folding models and parasol designs. The modern stroller is an incredibly flexible, practical alternative to the traditional pram. It comes with a comfortable and spacious seat for the child that has adjustable reclining positions and a spacious, deep carrycot or bassinet. A lot of prams can be converted into pushchairs using the same chassis, and an additional car seat or carrycot. As babies grow older and become more mobile, they can switch from a pram to strollers. The difference is not an important one, but the fact that pushchairs are designed toward older children can make them suitable for longer walks or travel. They have a bigger seat that often faces both towards the parent for bonding and away from them to explore their surroundings. Many pushchairs also have an umbrella, storage basket and handlebar that can be adjusted to meet the needs of an expanding infant. Babyfair offers a wide selection of pushchairs, prams, and baby buggy models. You can choose an option that gives you the best of both the worlds: a pram which transforms into a pushchair and a car seat which attaches to the base. The baby can be easily moved into or out of the stroller without waking the baby or causing hassle. This is perfect for long walks or travelling. The chassis is lightweight and folds compactly to allow it to fit into a trunk or boot of a vehicle with ease. Travel System If you're in search of a pram that will make traveling with your baby a breeze, then look no further than a travel system. A travel system is a frame that fits the pushchair that is fitted with car seats or a carrycot. This makes it easy to move a baby who is sleeping from the car to the stroller without them awakening. A great option for parents who are new to the parenting world, a travel system will ensure that your child is comfortable and secure from birth. It also gives you the option of using a car capsule for the first few months while they're still small, and later changing to a pushchair unit when they're sufficiently large. Look for travel systems that come with car seat adaptors if you're contemplating purchasing a car seat. The Egg 2 pram is a modern-looking pushchair that has a light chassis. It also comes with car seat adaptors so that you can use it with many high-quality car seats. The ergonomic handles are designed in a Y shape to give a more comfortable grip. We also like the flat-folding mechanism that makes it easy to complete folding. The tyres are puncture-free and come with a unique tread design that adds to its elegant design. It is suitable for babies from birth and is compatible with the Oyster 3 Carrycot or the new Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus Car Seat (car seat and adapters are sold separately). The luxurious dual-sided Memory Foam Cushioning provides extra warmth on one end and coolness on the other to ensure your baby is comfortable. We also love its one-handed recline function that offers a wide range of positions as well as an enormous sun hood that is easy to fit in the event that the weather takes an unexpected turn. This sleek, contemporary pram can be quickly transformed into a double pushchair by attaching the Helix+ attachment to the chassis. You can enjoy a comfortable ride with your growing family and make unforgettable memories. The 360-degree rotation, reclining, and other features can be adjusted to fit the changing conditions. Pram Prams are made for infants and newborns who aren't able to sit up or keep their heads straight. They offer a flat surface where your baby can lay in whilst you're out and about. They're an excellent alternative to strollers, and could be more suitable for your baby for a few minutes. It is good for the lung development of infants to lie flat. If they are supported, it can cause them to slouch. This isn't good for their health. It could also affect their breathing. Prams allow your baby to lie flat and be supported, which makes them more comfortable and safe during your outings. A lot of prams have a hood that can be adjusted to shield your child. Many prams feature a large basket that can accommodate all the baby's belongings. They also come with a retractable cover that protects your child from the sun and rain. Most prams can be cleaned easily. Simply vacuum the fabric, or wipe it clean with a damp cloth. If your pram has removable pram wheels it is a good idea to remove them and wash them in the sink or bathtub and allow to dry completely before fitting them back. Make sure your pushchair is compliant with the Australian Safety Standard to keep your child safe. Strollers are a little more sophisticated than prams since they're made for children who can sit up. They can recline, and the handlebars are adjustable for parents to ensure the best comfort for their child. They're generally smaller than prams, and have wheels that are smaller, which means they're easier to manoeuvre. Most strollers have a hood that can be closed to give your baby protection from the sun and some are fitted with a bassinet or carrycot for younger babies. A stroller can be somewhat more difficult to maintain than a pram, but it's crucial to keep up with maintenance to ensure your child is safe and comfortable. If you'd like to make cleaning easier you should consider a pushchair that is machine-washable. If you require a spot clean, use an ordinary cloth or a liquid for washing. In colder temperatures, a footmuff is a useful accessory. Make sure to choose a product with an inner lining with a soft feel and an outer that is waterproof. Convertible A convertible compact stroller can be transformed into a double stroller by the addition of another seat. It's a great choice for parents who are planning on having a second baby or already have another child to their family. This type of stroller has many advantages over a traditional side-byside double stroller, such as the capacity to accommodate two or more children of various age groups, greater maneuverability over rough terrain and a variety of seating configurations. Some convertible strollers can adapt to fit as many as 24 different seating configurations that allow parents to pick between putting one child in the bassinet and one in the car seat, or in reverse, having the seats facing forward and one backward, or even having three children (with a ride-along board). The major drawback to this type of stroller is that it is heavier than other strollers due to the fact that it must be capable of supporting two seats and their associated weight. The best convertible strollers have a strong and sturdy frame that can withstand the added weight of a second child without compromising stability or safety. These strollers also feature large storage baskets as well as comfortable seats that can be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of children. Compare features and costs when looking at convertible strollers. Baby Jogger City Select 2 is a stroller that can expand with your family and you. This versatile jogger stroller can convert from a single stroller to double stroller by adding the second seat or Rumble Seat.

This stroller can be customized with a variety of accessories. Footmuffs, weather shields, and baby trays are all available, along with parents consoles, carrying bags, and parent consoles. This stroller is not recommended for use on the road as it can be difficult to maneuver on unpaved or rocky roads.
