Why Buy a Pram Pushchair 2 in 1?
Modern 2in1 prams are able to be converted from a bassinet into an infant pushchair as your child grows. They are durable and versatile, ensuring your child is comfortable throughout the journey from city pavements to country roads.
Some prams/pushchairs can also be folded down, which is useful when your home or apartment has limited storage space. They are usually easier to move around.
Space-efficient design
The pram pushchair 2 in 1 offers an efficient design that takes up less room than other types of prams. It comes with a large basket and a movable handlebar that makes it easy to drive for parents of all heights. The stroller includes a range of useful accessories like a footmuff for the child, a tray for the parent and raincover. It's an excellent choice for families who travel.
There are many baby prams to choose from and you need to pick one that best suits your family. If you take public transportation, consider a light-weight pram, such as the Maclaren Techno, which is easy to hoist onto trains and off, and is small enough to carry on your back if you encounter a noisy bus driver. If you walk a lot then you might want to consider something with some suspension (Silver Cross Sleepover or M&P Ultima type), which are great to drive but can be heavy to fold and might not fit into a compact boot. If you're planning to carry your baby in a baby sling, there are plenty of lightweight prams like the M&P Babystyle Encore and Silver Cross 3D that are easier to sling and are often part of a travel system, but they aren't as good as prams that are designed for long walks as they do not recline.
Travel systems are perfect for parents who are tired, as they let you use the same pram from your baby's newborn days right through to their toddler and preschool years. They're a cost-effective option that lets you avoid purchasing multiple prams and pushchairs as your child grows.
The telescopic handle on the EVERYDAY pram pushchair 2 in 1 comes with up to three levels of adjustment which makes it easy for anyone to operate. The handles are also covered with soft, comfortable-to-touch eco leather to increase comfort. The seat positions that can be adjusted and the cushioned carrycot are designed to ensure your child is in a comfortable position. There are plenty of storage pockets, which allow you to keep your essentials close at hand.
Convenient on-the-go mobility
If you travel by public transport a lot you'll need a light-weight item that's easy to hoist on and off buses and trains but won't be able to take up a lot of space in your taxi or hire car boots. A real pram, similar to the Silver Cross type sprung prams Mary Poppins would be proud of, might be perfect for long walks but they can be heavy and difficult to lift onto and off a train. A pramette could be a great alternative. They're still comfortable and bouncy but they are much easier to fold.
We recommend the WeGo or GoTo seats if you want to travel further. They work in both pushchair and carrycot modes. You can travel with no need to worry about your back. One slight disappointment with the Cloud is that it's not part of an overall travel system. However, Kiddicare do say they plan to stock the compatible car seat which means that this will change soon!
Comfortable carrycot with a variety of modes
As part of a travel set-up, a pram pushchair 2 in 1 comes with a comfortable lie-flat carrycot that's suitable for newborns up to around 6 months. This eliminates the need for a separate carrycot that is only suitable for a short period of time. It also ensures that your baby is always in the most comfortable position for their development.
It's also worth considering whether you want a pram pushchair that can convert into a toddler seat and back to a toddler seat. This lets your child stay in the carrycot until they're ready to move into an adult seat, and can help them feel more confident on their feet when traveling.
If you choose to buy an infant pushchair that has a built-in carrycot, check the specifications carefully to ensure it meets the requirements of your family. Be sure that the carrycot is fitted snugly and securely, and can be reclined completely flat. This is the ideal position for babies sleeping. A waterproof mattress protector or fitted moses basket pram apron ought to be provided and are an excellent option to keep the carrycot free of spills and crumbs.
The Kiddicare Cloud, for example is a comfy carrycot option that's suitable for babies from birth and can be converted into a toddler seat by flipping the footrest up. In parent facing carrycot mode it's simple to check on your newborn and they're comforted by the presence of familiar faces during their first months of life.
If you're looking for a different option, consider a real pram like the silver cross Mary Poppins 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 small boot. They can be difficult to hoist on and off trains and can be heavy to push over rough terrain.
A lightweight pram or a pushchair with a large storage basket should be an acceptable compromise since they're often easier to use on public transport, and won't take your trunk as quickly as a full-size pram. You can also buy some accessories for your pram, like a bottle pocket and changing bags. These can make a huge difference to the amount of time you'll be spending folding, packing and retrieving items from the basket of your pram!
Adaptive pushchair mode
The pram pushchair 2 in 1 is able to adapt to your family's changing needs by transforming from a carrycot into a pushchair once your baby is ready to sit and play. This flexibility lets you save money since you do not have to buy additional items as your child grows.
The majority of 2-in-1 prams have an easy fold that is simple to handle in busy environments. There are models that have a handbrake that is simple to use and lets you control the pushchair while you put your child in or out of the seat.
Additionally some pushchairs have a large shopping basket, which makes them perfect for day trips or shopping excursions. Some models have an adjustable front swivel lock to increase manoeuvrability as well as assist with steering. 2 in 1 pram and pushchair have a footmuff that can be used in colder weather, while others are compatible car seats.
When you purchase a pushchair or pram be sure to check the basket size and whether it comes with a console for parents. A parent console can be used to hold a drink bottle, keys or a phone. It will also protect your child from sun and the wind.
Find out if the seat comes with an adjustable recline and whether you can convert it into the position of a lie-flat. A reclined seat is particularly important as it will allow your baby to sleep comfortably even when they are moving.
It's important to determine if the pushchair's fabrics can be machine washed, or at a minimum, the area cleaned using soap and water solution. stroller 2 in 1 car seat will make cleaning a lot easier and avoid the stains that result from spills or food.
Be aware of the quality of the wheels since you'll be using them on a variety of surfaces ranging from roads to rough terrain. The most effective pushchair tyres consist of a non-maintenance gel, which means that you will not get a flat tyre.
If the seat is reversible you can flip it around when your child is old enough to stand up and explore the world. You should also check if the chassis is adjustable and has suspension.
