The Step-By -Step Guide To Choosing The Right Pram Pushchair 2 In 1
Why Buy a Pram Pushchair 2 in 1?
Modern 2in1 prams allow you to transform them from the bassinet (suitable from birth) to a pushchair seat as your baby grows. They provide durability and versatility, ensuring your child's comfort during the journey from city pavements to the countryside.
Some prams/pushchairs also fold smaller, which is beneficial if you use public transport or your home has a limited storage space. They are often easier to maneuver, too.
Space-efficient design
The pram pushchair 2 in 1 offers an efficient layout that takes up less space than other types of prams. It also has a spacious basket and a handlebar that can be adjusted to make it easier for parents of all heights to drive. This 2-in-1 pram also includes a range of useful accessories, such as a footmuff, tray for parents and raincover which makes it a great choice for families who are constantly on the move.
There are many baby prams available so you can pick one that suits your family. If you take public transport, look for a light-weight pram, such as the Maclaren Techno, which is easy to hoick on and off trains, and is small enough to sling on your shoulder if you encounter a stroppy bus driver. If you are a frequent walker, an older model that has more suspension is a good choice. These can be nice to drive, but they can be heavy and difficult to fold. They might also not fit into a smaller boot. If you're planning to carry your baby in a sling, there are many lightweight prams like the M&P Babystyle Encore or Silver Cross 3D that are easier to sling, and are often part of a travel system, but they're not as effective as real prams for long walks as they don't recline.
Travel systems are perfect for tired parents, as they allow you to use the same pram from your baby's infant days all the way to the time they turn toddlers and into preschool. This longevity is a cost-effective solution that will save you the hassle of purchasing multiple pushchairs and prams each time your child develops.
The telescopic handles of the EVERYDAY pram/pushchair 2 in 1 have three levels of adjustment. This makes it easy for anyone to use. In addition, the handles are covered with soft and pleasant to the touch eco-leather for increased comfort. The seat positions that can be adjusted and the carrycot with padding are designed to make sure your child is in a comfortable position. There are plenty of storage pockets to keep your essentials handy.
Convenient on-the-go mobility
If you use public transport often, you'll require a lightweight item that's easy to hoick on and off buses and trains but won't be able to fill your taxi or hire car boots. A real pram (Silver Cross style sprung ones Mary Poppins would be proud of) could be ideal for long walks, however it can be bulky to fold and isn't easy to lift off and onto the train. A pramette is a great compromise - they're still bouncy and comfy, but are easier to fold and sling over your shoulder.
If you're looking to travel further afield, we recommend using the WeGo or GoTo seats, which work with both pushchair and carrycot modes. This way you can reach where you want to without back pain. The Cloud doesn't come with an integrated travel system which is a minor disappointment. However, Kiddicare do say they will be able to supply the compatible car seat which means that this will change soon!
Comfortable carrycot mode
As part of a travel system a pram pushchair 2 in 1 comes with a comfortable lay-flat carrycot suitable for babies up to about 6 months. This eliminates the requirement for a separate baby carrycot that is only suitable for a short period of time. It is also a guarantee that your baby will always be in the most comfortable position for their growth.
It's also worth deciding if you'd like a pushchair for your pram that converts into an infant seat and back again. This allows your child to remain in the carrycot until they are ready to transition to the booster. It also helps children feel more secure when traveling.
If you decide to purchase a pram pushchair with an integrated carrycot, be sure to review the specifications carefully to ensure it is suitable for the needs of your family. For example, make sure the carrycot is large enough to provide a snug and secure fit. Also, ensure that it reclines flat, as this is the recommended sleeping position for babies. A mattress protector that is waterproof fitted moses basket, fitted moses basket or pram apron ought to be provided, and they're an ideal way to keep the carrycot clean and free from crumbs and spills.
The Kiddicare Cloud, for example is a comfy carrycot that is suitable from birth and can be transformed into a toddler seat by flipping up the footrest. In the parent-facing carrycot mode, it's easy to check on your infant and they're comforted by the familiar faces throughout the initial months of their lives.
You could also look into a real pram such as the Mary Poppins silver cross model, which is ideal for walking long distances and offers plenty of storage space. They're larger and may not fit into a taxi or boot that is small. They're also difficult to hoick on and off trains and can be heavy to push across rough terrain.
A light pram or pushchair with a large storage basket is a good compromise as they're usually more convenient to use on public transport and won't clog your car as easily as a full-size pram. It's also a good idea to buy a few accessories for your pushchair including changing bags and insulated bottle pockets. These accessories can help you save a lot of time when it is time to fold, packing, and retrieving items from the basket of your pram.
Adaptive pushchair mode
The pram pushchair 2 in 1 adapts to your family's changing needs by transforming from a carrycot into a pushchair when your baby is ready to sit and explore. This flexibility reduces the need for additional purchases and makes your investment more affordable as your child grows.
Most 2-in-1 strollers have an easy fold that is easy to manage in hectic environments. There are models that have a handbrake that is simple to use and lets you manage the pushchair as you place your child in or out of the seat.
A lot of pushchairs come with a large shopping basket, making them ideal for shopping excursions. Some pushchairs have a lockable front pivot function to increase manoeuvrability. 2in1 travel system have a footmuff which can be used in colder weather and some are compatible with car seats.
When you purchase a pram or pushchair, make sure you check the basket size and whether it has a console for parents. A parent console is helpful for holding a drinks bottle, keys or phone, and it can also shield your child from sun and wind.
You should check if you are able to adjust the recline of the seat and if it can be turned into flat position. A reclining seat will allow your child to rest comfortably while traveling.
Verify that the fabric of the stroller can be machine-washed or at the very least spot-cleaned with a solution of water and soap. This will make cleaning a lot easier and avoid staining caused by spills or snacks.
Take into consideration the quality of the wheels as you will be using them on a range of surfaces, from roads to rough terrain. The most durable tyres for pushchairs are made of a maintenance-free gel. This means you won't have a flat tyre.
If the seat is reversible, you can flip it back when your child is old enough to stand up and explore the world. You should also verify if the chassis is adjustable and has suspension.
