Why Buy a Pram and Pushchair 2 in 1?
2-in-1 prams are made to meet the demands of modern families. They seamlessly change from comfortable carrycots to practical pushchairs. They are also great to reduce the cost of parenting by removing the need to buy a separate pram and pushchairs.
Find a pram that is suitable from birth and offers a full lie flat seat, which is ideal with an attachment for a bassinet. It's also worth checking the fabrics can be washed by machine.
Elegant and fashionable
The range of products available that are available on the market can be overwhelming. With so many categories and names such as prams, pushchairs, buggies and travel systems, it is difficult to comprehend what's available and how each type fits in. The biggest distinction between a pram and a pushchair is the fact that a pram has a flat position that makes it suitable for babies and newborns that are up to six months old.
A pram 2 in 1 will then transform into a pushchair when your child is ready to sit and explore their surroundings. This versatility means that there is no necessity of separate pram and pushchair purchase, providing on-the-go convenience without compromising safety or security.
The compact fold of a pram that folds 2 in 1 makes it simple to store in small places like the boot of your car or in a cupboard at home. It is also light and durable enough to manoeuvre across city streets or on public transport with ease. Many of the products include an extended sun canopy to protect your baby from harmful UV rays while the wipeable fabrics are simple to clean.
You can customize your pram as your child develops by adding accessories and other items. For example the reclining seat can be adjusted so that your child can be upright or in a semi-reclined position and the hood can be secured in a variety of ways, depending on what you prefer. You can also purchase a footmuff, child tray or a parent console to complete your pushchair. A pushchair/pushchair that doubles as a pram also comes with an ideal bag to store nappies, bottles and other essentials during your travels.
Convenient on-the-go
Having the versatility of a pram and pushchair 2 in one means that you can easily adapt to different situations while on the go, whether that's driving the streets in a rush or taking a peaceful stroll in the park. A comfortable carrycot can help your baby to relax and sleep. For older infants and toddlers, a comfortable seat allows them to sit and enjoy the view.
A 2-in-1 stroller provides the convenience of a lightweight frame that is ideal for travel. It's easy to navigate busy airports, malls and cities with your child. Some prams, like the Kiddicare Cloud 2 in 1 can even let you select an appropriate car seat (sold separately) to turn it into a travel system and provide you with peace of mind from birth.
Other features essential to a pushchair and pram 2in1 include a movable handlebar that provides a comfortable pushing experience for parents of all sizes, a generous storage basket that's perfect to store your baby's essentials and a variety of accessories, such as an apron, raincover and bottle holder. Many models also come with the fold similar to that of an umbrella, which makes it easy to store.
It's worth checking that your selected pushchair or pram can be machine washed to make cleaning easier. If not, you should clean the area with warm water and a mild detergent. This will ensure that your pushchair and apron look fresh for long time to come.
Space-efficient
A 2-in-1 pushchair or pram can save space and money as your child grows. A 2-in-1 travel system includes a carrycot, a pushchair and the seat which can be used either separately or together as your child grows. This means that the 2-in-1 pram can be used right from birth, and then switched to pushchair mode when your child is ready to sit up - removing the requirement for separate prams and pushchair purchases.
Generally speaking, 2-in-1 prams can be modified to meet your baby's changing needs by removing or adding elements like the base of a car seat and infant carrier, hood/parasol or hood. These extra accessories could have an affect the size of the basket of the pushchair, so it's advisable to compare this across brands.
A hood or a parasol, for example is a great item to protect your child from the sun and its harmful UV radiation. It also shields your child from light rain and wind. A parasol that is attached to the stroller will ensure that your baby doesn't overheat while walking.
A quality hood/parasol is made of fabrics with SPF/UPF50+ that provide UV protection for your baby. Make sure that the hood and fabric can be washed in the washing machine to make cleaning quick and easy. Certain hoods are also water-resistant and can be cleaned simply by spraying them using a hose, or water mixed with a little washing up liquid. You can also use wet wipes. The changing bags are a great accessory to your 2-in-1 pram. They should be spacious, with multiple pockets to make it easier to organize your stuff and bottle holders that are insulated for cold drinks. They should also have a handy changing mat as well as a adjustable shoulder straps for comfortable carrying.
Secure and safe
A pushchair and pram in one is a great choice for parents looking to save money on separate purchases and make sure that their child has the best ride possible. Find a design that was designed with your child in mind, and that includes features that make travelling easy. For example, a reclining seat that allows your baby to relax or sleep as you move about your day, adjustable sun hoods that offer UV protection, and wipeable fabrics to prevent accidents caused by food spillages or potty training.
Choose a stroller which features a sturdy brake system as well as two locking mechanisms to prevent the chassis from folding accidentally when it is in use. You can be sure that your child will be protected at all times. Also, make sure that the pushchair is able to be used up to the maximum weight limit for your child. Also, ensure that all catches, straps and buckles are secure.
If you're a walker in the city opt for a light pram and pushchair that folds up compactly to allow easy storage in tight spaces such as on public transport or in your boot. If you prefer to walk long distances, consider an oversized, bouncy stroller like the Silver Cross 3D and Mamas and Papas Pramette. These will provide your child with a pleasant ride and take on more bumpy terrain. These prams are usually larger and may be difficult to get on and off of buses and trains. They might also require a larger car boot to store them.
Suitable from birth
One of the most important choices new parents have to decide on is whether to go for a pram or pushchair. The other option is a stroller that could be converted into a car and infant carrier. The second is a baby carriage with a carrycot. One of these options may be better suited to you based on the size and the age of your child.
2 in 1 pushchair -in-1 strollers can fit newborns in a bassinet that is completely flat and can later convert into a pushchair with an adjustable hood and reclined position. 2in1 pushchair , for example, has a comfortable padded seat with a cozy liner and a hood that can be adjusted to protect you from rain. It also has a screen for viewing so you can monitor your child without disturbing them while they sleep.
You can choose between an adult-facing and a world-facing configuration for your newborn to toddler, and the option of adding an isofix base and car seat (if you're not using an infant carrier that is compatible). A lot of our 2-in-1 prams are offered as travel systems that can be used from birth when you attach a car seat that is compatible to the frame.
You can also purchase a matching changing bag with bottles that are insulated and numerous pockets to store your personal items, so you can keep everything you require neatly organized in a convenient location. Some pushchairs include a shopping basket, while others feature a handy storage compartment at the back. If you're planning to be out in the sun, search for a pushchair that comes with an extended SPF/UPF 50+ parasol.
