Guide To Pram Sets: The Intermediate Guide On Pram Sets

Why Buy a Pram Set?

A pram set will simplify your family's travel plans, and will save you money over purchasing each item separately. These typically include a running pushchair seat, a newborn carrycot that can be folded flat and an iSize child car seat.

Newborns must be able to lie flat as this is best for their developing lungs. All prams in this guide will allow your baby to lie flat.

1. Combination pram

Combination prams for newborns are a great option for families. They are suitable from birth and can be used with a car seat or capsule (most baby car seats can be connected to prams with a click of a button). The pram grows with the child, changing from a bassinet and turning into a stroller-style seat.

A great option is the Junama TERMOMIX is a contemporary pram that can be used with the Maxi Cosi Micro Plus baby travel system. This combination pram is suited for babies from birth using the capsule and can later grow into an adult-sized stroller that can carry a toddler up to 4 years old. This combination pram can eliminate multiple car seats and strollers, saving you space and money in your home or the boot of your car.

The Junama TERMO MIX features a large shopping basket that comes with a stylish matching rain cover, nappy bag and mosquito net. It is light and easy to maneuver which makes it the ideal option for urban living. It is easy to maneuver through tight spaces thanks to its swivel wheel design. It can be folded down with one motion. It comes with a one-handed lock that makes it easier to get your child in and out of the stroller. The footmuff can be adjustable and can be used in winter.

When you are looking for a car seat pram combination it is crucial to look at the features that are most important to you and your life. Safety is the most important factor to consider - does the car seat come with a five-point harness? Does it meet Australian Safety Standards and is it compatible with the pram you are looking at? Many of the combos are compact stroller and can be advantageous if your car has limited boot space or you rely on taxis or ride-hailing apps to get around. It's important to determine the size of the boot of the pram you're contemplating and whether it can fit into the trunk of your car. It is also an excellent idea to check the handle height so you can easily reach it when pushing, and to make sure it has handles that are adjustable.

2. Twin pram

A side-by-side pram is a great way to transport twins or siblings of different age groups. This double buggy can fit in the majority of car boot spaces and can be used with infant seats, toddler car seats or baby carry cots. The seats are reversible and may be adjusted in numerous ways to ensure your kids are comfortable. There are 5 reclining options, a huge sun canopy and peek-aboo hoods to help protect your kids from the elements, while the wheels offer exceptional suspension for rough terrain.

Side by side prams are ideal for siblings who are close in age, as it allows them to play with each other and play together. This can lead to toy squabbles and stealing snacks. If you're not careful, you may end having one child seated in the back seat and the other being pulled forward, which could be extremely risky. A good idea is to put an extra blanket or towel between the seats to stop them from touching, so you can control their movements easily.

If you're considering a double pram set, make sure you check the dimensions of the seat bases since they may not fit into your car boot or be able to fold down to the height you require. It's also worth thinking about the space available in your home to store the buggy when not in use and where you'll keep it when it's folded.

Parents who want a low-cost but well-equipped double pram should consider the Graco Twin City Mini. This side-byside pram is simple to maneuver, and has several reclining positions on the seats and a big basket under each seat. The canopies provide an excellent shield against sun or rain while the windows let you monitor the kids and ensure their safety. The seats are stadium style and both children enjoy a fantastic view of the world around them.

3. Single pram

A single pram can only accommodate one baby. They are designed to be a comfortable, safe place for your baby to ride in and offer the chance to create a unique travel experience. You can customize your pram with accessories, such as a soft footmuff, or a rain cover to keep your baby secure and safe from the elements.

Consider how the pram will fit in with your lifestyle, budget and what features are important to you. Choose a model that folds easily and quickly (or even one-handed). The most reliable prams allow you to fold the chassis flat so it's easy to take it away for storage. It is also important to consider whether you want to buy an infant stroller that is equipped with a toddler's board.

Strollers make a great option for active families. They usually come with a suspension system that provides a smooth ride on uneven surfaces. They are usually smaller than prams and are able to be folded and tucked away, making them a great option for travellers. A stroller with a basket for storage is ideal. It should also have plenty of space in the hood to store baby's gear. A reclining seat and padded handle are important features.

If you are planning to have a second child in the next three years, then a convertible double stroller might be worth a look. It can be used as an individual stroller when your child is still small, and then converted to double by adding a second seat or bassinet. You will not need to buy and maintain two prams.

Double prams that are side-by-side are ideal for twins as they provide equal seating and allow them to see each other. However, they are often bigger than a single babiie stroller and so are less maneuverable particularly in busy shopping centres or on busy streets. If you're considering buying a double pram that is side-by-side, ensure that it is compatible with car capsules to allow you to use it when your newborn is in the capsule, and then switch to a single-mode when your older child is ready.
