Elegant and fashionable
The number of products available on the market can be overwhelming. With so many categories and names such as prams, pushchairs and buggies and travel systems, it can be difficult to understand what is available and where each type of item fits. A pram is different from a pushchair in that it is able to lie flat. This is a great option for babies and newborns from 6 months to.
A pram 2 in 1 will change into a pushchair when your child is ready to sit up and explore the world around them. This adaptability removes the need for separate prams and pushchair purchases, allowing on-the-go convenience without compromising safety and security.
The compact fold of the pram 2 in 1 makes it easy to store such as in a small space like a car boot or a cabinet in your home. It is also light and durable enough to manoeuvre across city streets or take to public transport without difficulty. Many of these products include an extended sun canopy that shields your baby from harmful UV rays, while the wipeable fabrics are easy to clean.
As 2 in 1 buggy grows, you can customize your pram to fit the changing needs of your child by using an array of accessories and additional features. For instance the reclining seat can be adjusted into various positions so your child can sit upright or in a semi-reclined position, while the hood can be secured in different ways depending on your preference. You can also buy a footmuff, a tray for children or a console for parents to complete your pram. A pram/pushchair 2 in 1 also comes with a handy bag for storing bottles, nappies and other necessities during your trip.
Convenient on-the-go
Being able to use two pushchairs and a pram in 1 means you can easily adapt to different scenarios while on the go, whether that's driving busy streets or taking an enjoyable stroll in the park. A cosy carrycot will help your newborn baby to rest and sleep. For older infants and toddlers, a large seat allows them to sit and take in the view.
A 2-in-1 stroller offers the convenience and light frame that is ideal for use on the road. It makes it easy to navigate crowded airports, shopping centers and towns when out and out with your baby. Some prams, like the Kiddicare Cloud 2 in 1 allows you to click on a compatible car seat (sold separately) to turn it into a travel set-up and provide you with peace of mind from birth.
Other important features of a pram and pushchair 2in1 include a movable handlebar that offers an enjoyable and comfortable pushchair experience for parents of all sizes and a large storage basket that's ideal to store your baby's essentials and a variety of accessories, including a raincover, apron or bottle holder. Many models also come with a fold similar to an umbrella to make it easier to store.
It is important to ensure that the chosen pram and pushchair can be washed in a machine to make cleaning a breeze. If it's not, then spot clean with warm water and a mild detergent. This will ensure that your stroller and apron will look fresh for long time to come.
Space-efficient
A 2 in 1 pram or pushchair can help you save space and money as your child develops. A 2-in-1 travel system includes an infant carrycot, a pushchair and the seat which can be used in a variety of ways together as your child grows. This means that the 2-in-1 stroller can be used right from the moment of birth, and then switch to the pushchair mode when your child is ready to sit up, eliminating the requirement for separate prams and pushchair purchases.
In general 2-in-1 strollers are modified by adding or removing features such as a car seat base or infant carrier. These extra accessories could have an affect the size of the basket of the pushchair and so it is recommended to compare these between different brands.
A hood/parasol, for example, is a great accessory to shield your child from sun and its harmful UV radiations. It also helps shield them from light showers and wind. A parasol that can be connected to the pram will help ensure your baby isn't overheated while they walk.
A good hood or parasol is constructed from SPF/UPF 50+ materials that can provide the most effective UV protection to your baby. Check that the hood and fabric can be washed in the washing machine so that cleaning is quick and simple. Certain hoods are also water-resistant and can be cleaned by spraying them with a hose or water mixed with a little washing up liquid. You can also make use of wet wipes. Change bags are a useful accessory to your 2-in-1 pram and should be spacious, with plenty of pockets to make it easier to organize your stuff and bottle holders that are insulated for cold drinks. These bags will also have an easy changing pad and a detachable strap for easy carrying.
Safe and secure
A pushchair and pram in 1 is an excellent option for parents who want to save money on separate purchases and ensure their child has the best ride possible. Find a design that was designed with your child in mind and with features that make traveling effortless. For example, a reclined seat that allows your child to sleep or relax while you get through your day. Also, adjustable sun hoods with UV protection and wipeable fabric to avoid any accidents from food spillages or potty training.
Find a pushchair that offers a good braking system and two locking devices to stop the chassis from accidentally folding while using. You can be sure that your child is secure throughout the day. Check that the pushchair is capable of supporting the maximum weight of your child, and that all straps, catches and buckles are safe.
If you're an urban walker opt for a light pram and pushchair that folds up compactly to make it easy to store in tight spaces, such as on public transport or in your vehicle. If you like to walk long distances, consider a bouncy pram such as the Silver Cross 3D and Mamas and Papas Pramette. These will give your child a comfortable ride and can handle more bumpy terrain. These are often bigger in size so might be a bit difficult to lift onto and off trains or buses and might require a large car boot for storage, however, they allow your baby to enjoy the scenery without feeling as if they're being squashed.
Suitable from birth
One of the biggest decisions new parents have to make is whether to go for a pram or pushchair. The other option is a stroller that could be transformed into a car or infant carrier. The second is a baby carriage which includes the carrycot. One of these options will best suit your needs based on the size and the age of your child.
Many 2-in-1 strollers can accommodate babies in a bassinet which can be fully lie-flat, and then convert into a pushchair using an adjustable hood and reclined position. For example the Mumsnet Best Buy Nuna Mixx Next features a comfortable cushioned seat that has a soft liner and a fully adjustable hood that offers adequate protection from rain. It also features a view window so you can check on your child without disrupting their nap.
You can pick a world-facing or parent-facing seat configuration that can be used from newborn to toddler. If you don't have an infant carrier compatible, you can add an isofix base, as well as a car seat. Many of our 2-in-1 strollers are available as travel systems and can be used from at birth when you add the appropriate car seat.
You can also buy a matching changing bag with insulated bottle pockets and multiple pockets for your own essentials to keep everything you need organized in a handy spot. Many pushchairs come with a handy basket for shopping and some even have a clever storage compartment at the back to store all the essentials. If you intend to spend your time in the sun, choose a 2-in-1 stroller with an umbrella that can be extended and has SPF/UPF50+ protection.
