Choosing the Right Prams Pushchairs

If you're a parent-to-be it's worthwhile buying a baby stroller that will last. Find models that fold to an attractive size, are easy to manoeuvre and come with the right accessories.

Selecting the best pram

It is essential to select the right pushchair or pram for your child. There are a number of factors to consider, such as size and weight storage options, safety features, and the overall look and feel of the pushchair travel system.

Consider your lifestyle: If you use public transport often, a lightweight and compact pram might be the best choice. Families who love to walk or hike might prefer an all-terrain stroller suitable for rough terrain. If you're planning to travel, you might consider a stroller for travel that can be folded down so that it can fit into the overhead luggage compartment on flights.

Decide if you'd prefer a four- or three-wheeled pram. Three-wheeled strollers are more robust on rough surfaces. Four-wheeled models can handle heavier loads and offer greater maneuverability. It is recommended to visit shops where you can test drive prams. This will give you a sense of how they move and whether they are easy to push.

When you decide what kind of pram to purchase it is important to choose one that meets Australian Product Safety Standards. This includes a five-point safety harness, a locking system on the brakes and an adult tether strap that can be used to keep children in a safe place when the pram is tipped over.

Consider adding accessories to your pram such as a sun canopy, or a footmuff. A sun canopy can help protect your child from sun's rays, and also prevent overheating. Make sure the canopy is UPF 50+ rating.

Another thing to think about is a diaper bag. A changing bag is an ideal way to transport your baby's necessities. It usually has numerous compartments and pockets that are perfect for snacks, toys and nappies. It is possible that the prams you pick have a folding changing mat. This makes it easy and easy diaper-changing. Find a changing mat that has a soft lining and, most importantly, if it is waterproof.

Side-by-side prams

If you're expecting twins, or have a toddler and a young baby, a good quality double pushchair can make family outings so much easier. Also known as tandem prams, these types of prams allow your little ones to sit side-by-side and look at each one another. They are also a bit wider than single-to-double strollers however, they are still easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.

They can have an attachment at the front of the stroller for a third child, which is often referred to as a Joey Seat and is a great way to keep children close while giving them a view of the world around them. If you're thinking about this option, be sure to verify if the model you're looking at is equipped with this feature. There are many options there, such as the Valco Baby Trend Duo twin stroller or the Zoe Twin Trio stroller.

Many parents opt for twin strollers because they can be used right from the time of birth. They can fit babies in carrycots as well as toddlers in their seats. Some are built as double buggies while others, like the Cybex Venus Twin can convert into a single stroller with an ample undercarriage basket that is useful for children who are old enough to walk.

You can also opt for a side by side pram, such as the Phil & Teds Vist v2 double pram pushchair. It is sturdy and comes with plenty of storage. It also has the option to add a second seat to allow for another child. The hood was too short for my friend's tall child, however it's an excellent choice if you have older children.

Anything that can carry two babies is likely to be a bit heavy, especially if using it with a newborn in a carrycot and a toddler in a seat. Be sure to know the amount that the entire pushchair (including any seats / carrycots) weighs before purchasing because this could be a dealbreaker for some families. Some models have an upper weight limit for seats/carrycots as well as a maximum frame weight which can help you decide what's best for your family. For example, the Joolz Geo 3 Twin has the maximum weight of 16kg for both seats.

Inline twin prams typically have one seat over the other, with a canopy between. These kinds of prams are very popular because they offer plenty of shade and protection from the elements. Some come with hoods that can be opened to let parents keep an eye on their kids. However, this kind of twin pram is difficult to manoeuvre through kerbs and is often quite bulky making it difficult to fit in car boots.

Side-by-side twin prams are generally larger overall and provide more seating flexibility. They can be used conjunction with twin infant car seats to create a complete travel system. However, they have one drawback in that children are not separated. This can lead to snack stealing and toy fights between your little ones.

Tandem prams start as single buggies. They can be upgraded to include a second seat at the back, front or underneath. The majority of tandems have an upper bassinet and a toddler sitting in the second position. This is a great and cost-effective option for parents with twins or children who are different in age.

Modern twin prams are smaller and easy to maneuver. This could reduce the amount of space for nappy bag storage and shopping. It can also be difficult to lift twin prams into and out the boot of a vehicle, especially if the car is an SUV with a lip you have to lift up to put the pram in.
