Why Buy a Pram and Pushchair 2 in 1?

With numerous categories and names such as buggies, prams, pushchairs and travel systems, it can be difficult to comprehend what's available and how each type of item fits. The main difference between a pram and a pushchair is the fact that a pram provides a lie-flat position, making it suitable for newborns and babies until around six months.

As your child develops, you can adapt your pram to your child's changing needs by adding an array of accessories and additional features. For instance the reclining seat can be adjusted so that your child can sit upright or in a semi-reclined configuration, while the hood can be secured in different ways, depending on what you prefer. You can also purchase a parent console or a footmuff, child tray, or child tray to complete your perfect pram.

Generally speaking, 2-in-1 prams can be modified to meet the changing needs of your baby by adding or removing features such as a car seat base as well as a hood/parasol. These additional accessories can have an affect the size of the basket of the pushchair and so it is recommended to compare these across brands.

For example, a hood/parasol is an excellent accessory to keep your child safe from harmful UV radiation. It can also help shield them from light showers and winds. A parasol that can be attached to the pram can help ensure your baby isn't overheated when they walk.

A high-quality hood/parasol is constructed from SPF/UPF 50+ materials that will offer the most effective UV protection to your child. Check that the hood and fabric can be washed by a machine to make cleaning fast and easy. Some hoods can be cleaned using a hose, or using water and washing up liquid. You can also employ a wet wipe.

For example, a reclining chair that lets your child rest or sleep as you perform your daily tasks Sun hoods that can be adjusted and wipeable fabrics can help prevent any accidents caused by food spills or potty-training.

Additionally, check that the pushchair is able to 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, you should choose an easy-to-use pushchair and pram that can be folded compactly to fit into small spaces, such as in public transport or 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 give your child an enjoyable ride and will take on more bumpy terrain. These types of prams are typically larger and may be difficult to take off and on of trains and buses. They may also require a big car boot to keep them in.

From birth

One of the most important decisions new parents must make is whether to go for a pushchair or pram. The latter is a more sophisticated stroller that can be converted into an infant car seat as well as a car carrier, while the first is a baby stroller with a carrycot and seat unit. Based on the baby's age and weight, one of these is more appropriate for you than the other.

Many 2-in-1 strollers can accommodate infants in a bassinet that is completely flat and can later convert into a pushchair using a reclined position and hood. For instance the Mumsnet Best Buy Nuna Mixx Next comes with a comfortable cushioned seat that has a soft liner as well as a fully adjustable hood that offers good coverage 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 possibility of incorporating an isofix base or car seat (if you're not using an infant carrier that's compatible). A lot of our 2-in-1 strollers are offered as travel systems, and can be used from when your baby is born, once you have added the appropriate car seat.

You can also buy a matching changing bag with insulated bottle pockets and multiple pockets for your own essentials and keep everything you need neatly organised in a convenient place. The majority of pushchairs have an easy-to-use shopping basket, and some come with a handy storage compartment on the back to store everything you need. If you are planning to enjoy a day in the sun, choose an all-in-one stroller that comes with an umbrella that expands and comes with SPF/UPF50+ safety.
