Why Buy a Pram and Pushchair 2 in 1?

2-in-1 prams are made to meet the needs of modern families. They seamlessly transform from comfortable carrycots to practical pushchairs. These prams are also great for saving money on child care, as they do away with the need to buy separate prams and pushchairs.

Choose a stroller that is suitable for babies and comes with a full-length flat seat, which is ideal with a bassinet attachment. It's also worth checking the fabrics can be machine washed.

Style and versatility

The range of products available that are available can be overwhelming. With so many categories and names such as prams, pushchairs and buggies and travel systems, it can be difficult to comprehend what's available and how each type of item fits. The most significant difference between a pushchair and a pram is that a pram has a lie-flat position that makes it suitable for babies and newborns until around six months.

A pram 2 in one can change into a pushchair once your little one is ready to sit down and explore the world around them. This versatility eliminates the need for separate pram 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 such as a car boot or home cupboard. It is also lightweight and strong enough to move across city streets or take to public transport without difficulty. Many products come with an extensible canopy that shields your child against harmful UV radiation. The wipeable fabric makes it easy to clean.

You can modify your stroller as your child grows with accessories and extras. The reclined seat, for instance is adjustable to different positions to ensure that your child can be in an upright or semi-reclined position, and the hood is adjustable in different ways, based on your preference. You can also buy an infant tray, footmuff, or parent console to complete your 2in1 pushchair. A pushchair and pram in 1 also includes an excellent changing bag, ideal to store bottles, nappies and other necessities on your travels.

Convenient on-the-go

The versatility of a pram and pushchair 2 in one means that you can easily adapt to different scenarios on-the-go, whether that's navigating the streets in a rush or taking an enjoyable stroll in the park. A cosy carrycot will help your newborn baby rest and sleep. For older babies and toddlers, a large seat lets them sit and take in the view.

A 2-in-1 pram also offers the convenience of a light and manoeuvrable frame that's ideal for travel. It's easy to navigate busy airports, malls and towns with your child. Some prams like the Kiddicare Cloud 2 In 1 let you attach an appropriate car seat (sold separately) and turn it into an entire travel system. This provides peace of mind right from the moment ood or parasol is made of fabrics with SPF/UPF50+ that provide UV protection for your baby. To make cleaning simpler make sure the fabric and hood can be washed by machine. Some hoods can also be cleaned using a hose, or by using water mixed with washing liquid. You can also employ a wet wipe. Change bags are a useful accessory to your 2-in-1 pram. They should be spacious, with plenty of pockets for ultimate organisation and bottle holders that are insulated for cold drinks. These bags also come with an ideal changing pad, and a detachable strap for easy carrying.

Safe and secure

A pram and pushchair 2 in one is a great option for parents looking to save money on separate purchases and ensure that their child gets the best experience possible. Look for a design designed with your child's needs in mind and includes features that make traveling effortless. For example, a reclining seat that allows your little one to rest or sleep while you get through your day. You can also find adjustable sun hoods with UV protection, and wipeable fabrics to prevent any spills from food spillages or potty training.

Find a pushchair that offers a good braking system and two locking mechanisms to stop the frame from folding whilst using. This will ensure that your child is secure and sound throughout the day. Additionally, check that the pushchair is able to be used up to the weight limit of your child and that all catches, straps and buckles are secured.

If you are an urban walker, choose a lightweight pushchair and pram that folds down compactly to fit into tight spaces, like in public transport or your boot. If you love walking long distances, opt for a bouncy pram such as the Silver Cross 3D and Mamas and Papas Pramette. These will give your baby a pleasant ride and cope with bumpier terrain. They are usually larger in size so might be a bit more difficult to lift on and off trains or buses and may require a car boot for storage, but they will allow your child to take in the scenery without feeling as if they're squished.

Suitable from birth

One of the most important choices new parents must make is whether to go for a pushchair or pram. The other is a stroller that could be transformed into a car and infant carrier. The one is a baby carrier which includes a carrycot. Based on the baby's age and weight the one you choose will be more suitable for you than the other.

Many 2-in-1 strollers can accommodate infants in a bassinet that can be fully lie-flat, and then transform into a pushchair by adding an adjustable recline and hood. The Mumsnet Best Buy Nuna Mixx Next, for example, comes with a comfortable cushioned seat, a soft liner and a hood that can be adjusted to keep you safe from rain. It also features a view window so you can check on your little one without disrupting their nap.

You can pick an adult-facing and a world-facing configuration for your newborn to toddler, with the possibility of incorporating an isofix base and car seat (if you don't have an infant carrier that is compatible). A lot of our 2-in-1 strollers can be used as travel systems, and can be used starting at birth, if you have the appropriate car seat.

You can also purchase an appropriate changing bag that comes with insulated bottle pockets and multiple pockets for your own personal items to keep everything you require neatly organised in a convenient place. Some pushchairs come with an integrated shopping basket, and others have a clever storage compartment at the back. If you are planning to spend your time in the sun, consider a 2-in-1 stroller with an umbrella that can be extended and offers SPF/UPF50+ protection.
