What's the Difference Between Prams, Buggys and Pushchairs?

This Mamas & Papas model is a compact and lightweight pushchair that can easily navigate city environments. It can be used to create an ideal travel system by incorporating the carrycot. It's ideal for countryside terrain, too, with foam-filled tires.

A pram that can create flat, flat sleep positions is ideal for newborns as lying flat assists with their breathing and growth. These models often come with an attachment for a bassinet or cocoon.

Baby Carriage

Choosing the right baby transport can be a daunting task for new parents. Terms like buggy, pram and pushchair are used often, and it's often unclear what the difference is between them.

The term"pram" was used in the past to refer to any child's wheeled carriage. They ranged from hand-held baskets to elaborately decorated carriages that were pulled by a draft animal or a human. They were generally designed to look like shells and included an hood, handlebar and storage space. In the 19th century prams were upgraded to ensure safety for children and their caregivers. Some of these improvements included adding a break, folding models and parasol designs.

The modern stroller is the flexibility and practical alternative to the traditional pram. It has a comfortable seat for children that has adjustable reclining positions as well as a spacious deep bassinet or carrycot. Many prams can be converted into pushchairs by using the same chassis, which includes an additional car seat, carrycot or bassinet.

As they grow older, they're able to move from the pram to a pushchair. The difference between the two isn't that significant, but pushchairs for older babies are better for longer walks and travel. The seat is more spacious and often faces away from the parent to allow for exploration, but also towards them when bonding. Some pushchairs also come with an umbrella, storage basket and the handlebar can be adjusted to meet the needs of an expanding baby.

If you're looking for an all-new pushchair, pram or baby buggy, there's many options at Babyfair. You can choose one that combines the best of both options: a pram that converts to a pushchair, and a car seat that snaps onto the base. The baby can be easily moved into or out of the stroller without waking the baby or causing disturbance. This is great for long walks and travel. The chassis is lightweight, compact and folds to fit easily into the trunk or boot of a car.

Travel System

If you're looking for a pram that will make traveling with your baby an easy task then look no further than a travel system. A travel system is a frame for the pushchair that is equipped with car seats or a carrycot. This makes it easier to transport a sleeping baby from the car to the stroller, without awake.

A great option for first-time parents, a travel system can ensure that your child is in good health and secure from birth. It will also give you the flexibility of using an automobile capsule for the first few months while they're still small, and later changing to a pushchair unit once they're big enough. Look for travel systems that include adaptors for car seats if you're considering buying a car seat.

The contemporary-looking Egg 2 pram comes with sleek, lightweight chassis and baby transport car seat adaptors that allow you to use it with the majority of top car seats. We appreciate the ergonomically designed handles that are designed in the shape of an 'Y' to give you a more comfortable grip and its flat-fold mechanism that takes the hassle out of folding. The tyres are puncture-free and come with a unique tread design that adds to its stylish aesthetic.

It is suitable for babies from birth, and can be used in conjunction with the Oyster 3 Carrycot or the new Maxi Cosi Pebble Plus Car Seat (car seat and adapters are sold separately). The luxurious, dual-sided Memory Foam Cushioning provides extra warmth on one end and cool on the other to keep your baby cool. We also love its one-handed recline function, which offers a full range of positions as well as a large sun hood that's easy to fit should the weather take an unexpected turn.

If you're ready to grow your family, this sleek and contemporary pram quickly transforms into a double pushchair thanks to its Helix+ attachment that clicks onto the chassis. This allows you to enjoy a smooth ride for two and share those memorable moments with your growing brood. Its innovative 360-degree rotation as well as recline capabilities can also be adjusted to accommodate changing weather conditions, so you're never trapped inside when it rains.

Pram

Prams are specifically designed for newborns and infants who are unable to sit or hold their heads upright. They provide a flat surface that your baby can lie in whilst you're out and about. They're a great option 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 end up slouching slightly if they're propped up which isn't good for them. It could also affect their breathing. Prams enable your baby to lay flat and be supported, which makes them more comfortable and safe on your outings.

A lot of prams come with an hood that can be reduced to protect your baby from the elements. Many prams feature a large basket on the bottom that can hold all the baby's belongings. They also come with a retractable cover that shields your child from the rain and sun. Most prams are easy to clean. Simply clean the fabric with a vacuum or wipe down with a damp sponge and soapy water. If your stroller has wheel that can be removed, it's best to remove these and wash them in the sink or bathtub and let them dry completely before re-fitting. Check that your pushchair meets the Australian Safety Standard to keep your baby secure.

Strollers are far more sophisticated than prams, since they're made for babies who can sit up. They can recline and the handlebars are adjustable for parents to ensure the best comfort for their child. They're usually a lot lighter than prams, and they have smaller wheels, so they're easier to manoeuvre. The majority of strollers come with an hood that can be closed to give your baby protection from the sun and sometimes they're equipped with a bassinet or carrycot for babies younger than.

A stroller may be a bit more challenging to maintain than a pram, but it's important to keep up with the maintenance to ensure your child is comfortable and safe. If you're looking to make cleaning a breeze choose a stroller that is machine-washable. Use a soft cloth and mild soap or washing liquid to spot-clean. A footmuff is an essential accessory during colder temperatures. Make sure to choose a product with an inner lining that is soft and a waterproof outer.

Convertible

A convertible pram is a stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller by adding a seat. It's a great choice for parents who plan on having a second baby or already have a sibling to their family. This kind of double stroller offers many advantages over the traditional side-by-side double stroller. It is able to accommodate two children from different ages, greater maneuverability on rough terrain and a wider selection of seating options.

Some strollers that convert are able to adapt to up to 24 different configurations. Parents can choose to put one child in a bassinet, and another in a car seat or to have two seats facing forward and the other backward. They can even have three children (with the ride-along board). This type of stroller tends to be heavier because it has to support two seats by their weight.

The best convertible strollers are built with a sturdy and durable frame that can withstand the additional weight of a second child without compromising safety or stability. They also have ample storage baskets and comfortable seats that can adjust to accommodate different-sized kids. If you're thinking about a convertible stroller, be sure to read our reviews and evaluate the features and prices to determine the right model for your family.

If you're in search of a stroller that will adapt to your growing family, look into the Baby Jogger City Select 2. The stroller that is jogger-friendly can be converted from a single stroller to a double stroller by adding the second seat or Rumble Seat. It can carry three children on a piggyback, which makes it an ideal investment for families that are growing. This twin stroller is customizable by adding a variety of accessories. These include weather shields as well as foot muffs for babies, tray, parent consoles, and a bag for carrying. This stroller is not recommended for travel because it is difficult to maneuver in unpaved or rocky roads.
