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 into practical pushchairs. They're also ideal to reduce the cost of parenting and removing the need for a separate pram and pushchairs.

Choose a stroller that is suitable from birth and offers a full lie flat seat, ideally with a bassinet attachment. Also, make sure that the fabric is machine washable.

Fashionable and versatile

The range of products available that are available on the market can be overwhelming. With so many categories and names such as prams, pushchairs and buggies and travel systems, it is difficult to know what's available and how each one fits in. The biggest distinction between a pram and a pushchair is that a pram has a lie-flat position that makes it suitable for infants and toddlers up to around six months.

If your child is ready to explore the world, a pram 2 in one can be transformed into an infant stroller. This versatility eliminates the need for separate prams and pushchair purchase, providing the convenience of being on the move without compromising safety or security.

The compact fold of the pram 2 in 1, makes it easy to store like in a compact space such as the car boot or cabinet at home. It is also lightweight and sturdy enough to maneuver across city streets or take to public transport without difficulty. Many products have an extendable canopy that shields your baby from harmful UV radiation. The wipeable fabric makes it easy to clean.

As your child grows, you can customize your pram to fit your child's changing needs by adding a range of accessories and extras. For instance the reclining seat can be adjusted so that your child can be upright or in a semi-reclined posture and the hood can be secured in different ways depending on your preference. You can also purchase a parent console and a child tray or footmuff to complete your perfect pram. A pram/pushchair 2 in 1 also comes with bags that are handy for storing bottles, nappies and other necessities during your travels.

Convenient on-the-go

The versatility of a pram and pushchair 2 in one means that you can easily adapt to different scenarios while on the go, whether that's driving busy streets or enjoying an enjoyable stroll in the park. For newborns, a cosy carrycot provides a safe and comfortable environment that allows your baby to sleep and rest, while for older babies and toddlers the spacious seat allows them to sit up straight and take in the view.

A 2-in-1 pram offers the convenience of a light and maneuverable frame that's perfect for travelling. It's easy to navigate through the crowds of malls, airports and towns with your child. Some prams, such as the Kiddicare Cloud 2 in 1, even allow you to select an appropriate car seat (sold separately) to convert it into a travel system and provide you with security from the moment you are born.

A pushchair and pram in one also has an adjustable handlebar to provide a comfortable pushing experience. It also comes with a huge storage basket to store all of the baby's necessities as well as a variety of accessories, including an apron, bottle holder and raincover. Furthermore, many models feature folds that resemble an umbrella fold for quick and easy storage.

Check that your chosen pram or pushchair can be machine-washed for easier cleaning. If it's not, then clean the area with warm water and a mild detergent. This will ensure that your stroller and apron look like new for many long time to come.

Space-efficient

A 2-in-1 pram or pushchair can help you save space and money as your child grows. A 2-in-1 travel set-up includes a carrycot, a pushchair, and the seat which can be used either separately or together as your child develops. The 2-in-1 pram is designed to be used starting at birth and then transformed into a pushchair when your child is tall enough to sit. This means that you don't need to buy separate pushchairs and prams.

Generally speaking, 2-in-1 prams can be adapted to suit the changing needs of your baby by adding or removing features such as a car seat base as well as a hood/parasol. These accessories can affect the basket size, so it is crucial to evaluate the sizes of various brands.

A hood/parasol, for example is a great item to shield your child from the sun's harmful UV rays. It can also help shield them from light showers and winds. A parasol that can be attached to the pram can ensure that your baby isn't overheated while they walk.

A good hood or parasol is made of SPF/UPF 50+ fabric that can provide an effective UV protection for your child. Make sure the hood and fabric are machine washable to make cleaning quick and simple. Hoods that are not machine washable can be cleaned by spraying with a hose, or using water mixed with washing up liquid. You can also make use of a wet cloth. Changing bags are a convenient accessory to your 2-in-1 pram and should be spacious, with plenty of pockets to make it easier to organize your stuff and bottle holders that are insulated for cold drinks. They will also feature a handy changing mat as well as a detachable shoulder strap for comfortable carrying.

Secure and safe

A pram and pushchair 2 in one is a great option for parents looking to save money on separate purchases and ensure that their child gets the best 2 in 1 car seat stroller experience possible. Choose a model that has been engineered with your child's needs in mind and features that will make travel effortless. For instance, a reclining chair that allows your child to rest or sleep as you perform your daily tasks with adjustable sun hoods, and wipeable fabrics can assist in preventing any accidents that are caused by food spillages or potty-training.

Look for a pushchair that has a reliable braking system and two locking devices to stop the frame from folding when it is using. You can be sure that your child will be secure throughout the day. Also, make sure that the 2in1 pushchair can be used up to the weight limit for your child, and that all straps, catches and buckles are secured.

If you are an urban walker, you should choose a lightweight pushchair and pram that can be folded into a compact size to fit into small spaces, such as in public transport or in your boot. If you prefer to walk long distances, choose a pram that bounces like the Silver Cross 3D and Mamas and Papas Pramette. These will give your baby a comfortable ride and can take on rough terrain. These tend to be larger in size, so they can be a bit more difficult to hoick onto and off trains or buses and may require a decent car boot for storage but they will allow your child to enjoy the scenery without feeling like they're squashed.

Suitable from birth

The decision between a pushchair and a pram is among the most important decisions for new parents. The latter is an advanced stroller that can be converted into an infant car seat and a car carrier, whereas the first is a baby stroller with a carrycot and seat unit. Depending on the baby's age and weight which one is more appropriate for you than the other.

Many 2-in-1 strollers can accommodate infants in a bassinet that is fully lie-flat and later convert into a pushchair with an adjustable hood and reclined position. For instance, the Mumsnet Best Buy Nuna Mixx Next features a comfortable cushioned seat, a cozy liner and a fully adjustable hood that provides excellent protection from rain. It also has a view window so you can check on your little one without disturbing them during their naps.

You can choose between the world-facing or parent-facing configuration for your newborn to toddler, with the option of adding an isofix base and car seat (if you're not using an infant carrier that is compatible). Many of our 2-in-1 prams are offered as travel systems and can be used from birth when you add a compatible car seat and pram 2 in 1 seat to the frame.

You can also buy an accompanying changing bag with insulated bottle pockets, multiple pockets, and compartments for your essentials. This allows you to organize everything in a convenient place. Some pushchairs come with a basket for shopping, while others have a clever storage compartment on the back. And if you're going to be out in the sun, opt for a 2-in-1 pram with an extended SPF/UPF 50+ parasol.
