Baby Carriage

Parents who are new to the world can have a hard time choosing the right baby transportation. The terms pram, buggy and pushchair are used frequently, and it's not always clear what the distinction is between each one.

The term"pram" has been used historically to refer to any child's wheeled carriage. They ranged from hand-held baskets to huge, ornately decorated carriages pulled by a draft animal or a human. The prams were often shaped like a shell and came with a hood and handlebar. In the 19th century prams were upgraded to ensure safety for children and their caregivers. Some of these improvements included a break or folding model and parasol designs.

The modern-day pram is a more versatile, practical alternative to the traditional pram. It comes with a huge, deep bassinet or carrycot as well as a comfortable infant's seat that can be adjusted to recline. Many prams convert into pushchairs using the same chassis, which includes an additional car seat carrycot, bassinet or carrycot.

As babies grow older, they're ready to move from the pram to the pushchair. The difference between them isn't important, but pushchairs for older babies are more for longer walks and travel. The seat is larger and usually faces away from the parent to allow for exploration, but also towards them when bonding. A majority of pushchairs come with a canopy as well as a storage basket and an adjustable handlebar that can be adjusted to meet the needs of an infant.
