Baby Carriage

Choosing the right baby transport is a daunting decision for first-time parents. The terms pram, buggy and pushchair are commonly used, but it's difficult to determine which is the most appropriate.

Historically, the term pram was used to refer to any wheeled device used to carry children. They ranged from hand-held baskets to elaborately decorated carriages that were pulled along by draft animals or humans. The prams were typically shaped like a shell and featured a hood and handlebar. In the 19th century, prams were improved to make them safer for infants and their caregivers. Some of these improvements included adding a break, folding models and parasol designs.

Modern prams are more versatile and practical alternative to the traditional ones. It features a comfortable seat for your child with reclining positions that can be adjusted and a spacious deep bassinet or carrycot. Many prams can also 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 running pram to strollers. The difference is not an important one, however the fact that pushchairs are made to cater towards older children makes them more suitable for longer walks or travel. The seat is more spacious and often faces away from the parent to allow for exploration, but also toward them when bonding. Many pushchairs also have an umbrella, storage basket and the handlebar can be adjusted to suit the needs of an expanding baby.

The chassis is lightweight and folds compactly to allow it to fit into the boot or trunk of a vehicle with ease.

Travel System

If you're looking for a pram that makes traveling with your baby an easy task, then you should consider a travel system. A travel system is a pushchair frame that you can fit a car seat or a carrycot to, allowing you to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to stroller without waking them up.

A great option for first-time parents, a travel system can ensure that your child is comfortable and secure from birth. You can utilize a car capsule in the beginning of your child's development and then move to a pushchair once they are old enough. If you are thinking of purchasing a car seat, look for travel systems that come with a set car seat adaptors to ensure compatibility.

Pram

Prams are designed for newborns and infants who can't sit up or keep their heads straight. They provide a flat area for your baby to sleep on while you're out and around. They're a great alternative for strollers, and might be more suitable for your baby.

Newborn babies should lay flat since it's beneficial for their lung development. They'll be prone to slouching if they're propped up which isn't good for them. It could also affect their breathing. Prams can help your baby lay flat and be supported, which makes them more comfortable and secure during your outings.

Many prams have a hood that can be reduced to protect your baby from the elements. They often feature a spacious basket on the bottom to store all the baby's items and a retractable rain cover to protect your little one from the sun. Most prams are easy to clean, simply clean the fabric by vacuuming it or wiping down using a damp cloth and soapy water. If your stroller has removable pram wheels it's best to remove them, wash them in the sink or bathtub and let them dry completely before re-fitting. To ensure your baby's safety ensure that your pushchair meets Australian Safety Standard.

Strollers are more advanced than prams because they're designed for children who are able to sit up. They can recline and have adjustable handlebars for parents to ensure maximum comfort for your child. They're typically lighter than prams, and have wheels that are smaller, which means they're much easier to maneuver. Most strollers have a hood that can be closed to give your baby protection from the sun and sometimes they're fitted with a bassinet or carrycot for younger babies.

It is more difficult to maintain a stroller than a pram, yet it is essential to keep it in good condition to ensure your child is happy. Find a stroller that can be machine washed to make cleaning a breeze. Use a soft cloth and mild soap or washing liquid to spot clean. In colder weather, a footmuff is a useful accessory. Choose a footmuff that has an inner lining with a soft feel and a waterproof outer.

Convertible

A convertible pram is an infant stroller that transforms into a double stroller by adding an additional seat. It's an excellent option for parents who are planning on having a second child or have already added an additional child to their family. This type double stroller comes with numerous advantages over the traditional side-by-side double stroller. These include the ability to accommodate two children of different age groups, better maneuverability on rough terrain, and a wider range of seating options.

Some strollers that convert are able to adapt to up to 24 different configurations. Parents can opt to put one child in a bassinet and another in a car seat, or have both seats facing forward, and the other backward. There is the possibility of having three children (with the ride-along board). The main drawback of this kind of stroller is that it tends to be heavier than other types due to the fact that it must be able to support two seats and their associated weight.

The best convertible stroller models have a sturdy frame which can withstand the weight of a second seat without the safety or stability being compromised. They also have ample storage baskets and comfortable seats that can be adjusted to accommodate children of different sizes. Compare features and costs when comparing strollers convertible.
