Style and versatility

The array of products available that are available on the market can be overwhelming. With a myriad of categories and names like prams, pushchairs and buggies and travel systems, it is difficult to know what's on offer and where each type fits in. The main difference between a pram and a pushchair is that a pram can be used in the ability to lie flat which makes it suitable for newborns and babies until around six months.

A pram and pushchair that's 2 in 1 can allow you to adapt to various situations, whether it's driving busy roads or taking a peaceful stroll in the park. A cozy carrycot will allow your baby to relax and sleep. For older babies and toddlers, a large seat allows them to sit up and take in the view.

A 2-in-1 pram also offers the convenience of a lightweight and manoeuvrable frame that's ideal to travel with. It's easy to navigate through crowded airports, malls and towns with your child. Some Twin prams like the Kiddicare Cloud 2 In 1 allow you to attach to a car seat that is compatible (sold separately) and transform it into an entire travel system. This will give you peace of mind from the moment of birth.

A pushchair and pram in one comes with a movable handlebar to ensure a comfortable pushing experience.

Space-efficient

A 2 in one pram or pushchair will save your space and money as your child grows.

In general 2-in-1 strollers are modified by removing or adding features like the car seat base or infant carrier. These accessories can affect the size of the basket, therefore it is important to look at the sizes of different brands.

A hood or a parasol, for example is a great item to shield your child from sun's harmful UV rays. It also helps keep them safe from light showers and wind. Choosing a parasol that can be connected to the pram will help ensure your baby isn't overheated when they walk.

A high-quality hood/parasol is made of SPF/UPF 50+ fabrics which will offer the most effective UV protection to your baby.

They will also feature a handy changing mat as well as a an adjustable shoulder strap that can be detached for easy carrying.

Safe and secure

A 2-in-1 pram and pushchair is a great option for parents who want to save money while giving their child the best possible ride.

For instance, a reclining seat that allows your child to rest or sleep while you get through your day. Also, adjustable sun hoods that offer UV protection, and wipeable fabrics to avoid any accidents from food spillages or potty training.

Look for a pushchair that offers a good brake system and two locking devices to stop the chassis from folding when it is using. You can be sure that your child is protected throughout the day. Also, ensure that the pushchair can be used up to the maximum weight limit for your child and that all straps, catches and buckles are secured.

If you're an urban walker, choose a lightweight pram and pushchair that folds down compactly to allow easy storage in tight spaces, such as on public transport or in your vehicle. If you like to walk long distances, choose a pram that bounces like the Silver Cross 3D and Mamas and Papas Pramette. These will provide your child with a pleasant ride and cope with more bumpy terrain. These types of prams tend to be larger and may be difficult to take off and on of trains and buses. They might also require a larger car boot to keep them in.

From birth, you are a good candidate

One of the most important decisions new parents must make is whether to go for a pram or pushchair. The latter is an advanced stroller 2 in 1 that converts into an infant car seat as well as a car carrier, whereas the first is a baby stroller with an infant seat and carrycot. One of these options may best suit your needs based on the size and the age of your child.

Many 2-in-1 strollers can fit babies in a bassinet which is completely flat and can later convert into a pushchair with a reclined position and hood. For example the Mumsnet Best Buy Nuna Mixx Next comes with a comfortable cushioned seat that has a soft liner as well as an adjustable hood that offers excellent protection from rain. It has a view screen to keep an eye on your child without disturbing them when they are sleeping.

You can pick a parent-facing and world-facing seat configuration for your newborn to toddler, and the option of adding an isofix base and car seat (if you don't have a compatible infant carrier). A majority of our 2-in-1 prams can be used as travel systems that can be used from birth when you add a car seat that is compatible to the frame.

You can also buy an appropriate changing bag that has bottles with insulated pockets, several pockets, and compartments for your essentials. This will allow you to organize everything in an ideal location. Some pushchairs have a basket for shopping, while others come with a clever storage compartment at the back. If you are planning to enjoy a day in the sun, you should consider the 2-in-1 stroller that has a parasol that extends and comes with SPF/UPF50+ safety.
