What's the Difference Between Prams, Buggys and Pushchairs?

This Mamas & Papas model is a lightweight and nimble pushchair that can effortlessly navigate city environments. It can be used as a travel system by adding a carrycot. It's ideal for countryside landscapes, too, thanks to foam-filled tires.

The flat lying-flat position of a pram is perfect for newborns, as it allows them to breathe and grow. These types of models are usually fitted with a cocoon or bassinet.

Baby Carriage

Choosing the right baby transport is a difficult task for new parents. The terms pram, buggy and pushchair are frequently used but it's difficult to determine which is the best choice.

Historically, the term "pram" was used to describe any wheeled vehicle used for carrying children. They were hand-held, small baskets, to large ornately designed carriages that were pulled by a draft animal. The prams were often made of shells and had a hood as well as a handlebar. In the 19th century the improvements were made to prams to ensure they were safe for infants and their caretakers. This included adding a brake, models that folded and designs for parasols.

The modern stroller is more versatile and practical option than the traditional ones. It has a comfortable seat for the child that has adjustable reclining positions and a spacious, deep carrycot or bassinet. Many prams are also convertible into pushchairs by using the same chassis, which includes an additional car seat and carrycot.

As babies get older, they're able to transition from the pram to the pushchair. The difference between them isn't important, but pushchairs for older children are more designed for longer walks and trips. They come with a more spacious seat that often faces both towards the parent for bonding and away from them to explore their surroundings. Many pushchairs also have a canopy, storage basket and handlebar that can be adjusted to meet the needs of a growing infant.

Babyfair has a large selection of prams, pushchairs, and baby buggy options. You can also choose an e-travel system that offers the best of both worlds - an infant pram that can be converted into a pushchair, and comes with an infant car seat that snaps into place on the base. This allows the baby to be moved into and out of the pram, without disrupting their sleep or crying, which is perfect for travelling or long walks. The chassis is light and compact travel stroller and can be folded to fit easily into the trunk or in the boot of cars.

Travel System

Travel systems are the ideal option for parents who want to travel with their baby in comfort. A travel system is a frame that fits a pushchair that can be equipped with a car seat or carrycot. This makes it easier to move a baby who is sleeping from the car to the stroller without them awake.

A travel system is an excellent option for new parents. It will ensure your child is secure and comfortable from the time they are born. You can use a car capsule during the beginning of your child's life, and then switch to a pushchair once they reach a certain age. If you're thinking of purchasing a car seat, look out for travel systems that include a set of car seat adaptors that will ensure compatibility.

The contemporary-looking Egg 2 pram comes with sleek, lightweight pushchair chassis and car seat adaptors to allow you to use it with most leading car seats. We appreciate the ergonomically designed handles that are designed in the shape of an 'Y' to give you an easier grip. We also love its flat-fold mechanism that takes the effort out of folding.

It's suitable for babies and can be used in conjunction with the Oyster 3 carrycot or the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus car seat (car seat and adapters sold separately) with its luxurious, dual-sided memory foam cushioning, which provides additional warmth on one side and cool on the other, keeping your baby comfy. We also enjoy its recline with one hand which gives a full range of positions, as well as a large sun hood that's simple to fit should the weather take an adverse turn.

This stylish, modern pram can quickly be transformed into a double pushchair by attaching the Helix+ attachment to the chassis. This lets you enjoy a smooth ride for two and create those unforgettable moments with your expanding family. Its innovative 360-degree rotation as well as reclining capabilities can also be adjusted to suit the changing weather conditions, so you're never trapped inside when the rain arrives.

Pram

The pram is made for babies and infants who cannot sit up or hold their head upright. They provide a flat area for your baby to lay on while you are out and about. They're a great alternative for strollers, and might be better suited to your baby.

It is good for the development of the lung of newborn babies to lie flat. If they are supported, it can cause them to slouch a bit. This isn't good for their health. It can also hinder their breathing. Prams enable your baby to lay flat and be supported, making them more comfortable and safe on your outings.

A lot of prams have an hood that can be lowered in order to shield your child. Many prams have an enormous basket on the bottom that can accommodate everything your baby needs. They also have a retractable cover that protects your child from the sun and rain. Most prams are easy to clean. Simply clean the fabric by vacuuming it or wiping down using a damp cloth and soapy water. If your stroller has wheel that is removable, it is a good idea to take them off, wash them in the sink or bathtub and allow to dry completely before fitting them back. Make sure that your pushchair is in compliance with the Australian Safety Standard to keep your child safe.

Strollers are more sophisticated than prams, since they're made for babies who can sit up. They can recline and the handlebars can be adjustable to provide parents with maximum comfort for their child. They're typically smaller than prams, and have small wheels so they're much easier to maneuver. Most strollers have a hood that can be shut to give your baby protection from the sun and they're sometimes equipped with a bassinet, or carrycot for younger babies.

A stroller can be a bit more challenging to maintain than a pram, but it's crucial to keep up with maintenance to ensure that your child is secure and comfortable. Find a stroller that is machine washable to make cleaning easy. If you have to spot clean, use a soft cloth or a liquid for washing. In colder weather the footmuff can be an essential accessory. It is best to select a footmuff with a soft lining and a showerproof outer.

Convertible

A convertible pram is a stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller by adding an additional seat. This is an excellent option if you plan to have another child or have one. This kind of double stroller offers numerous advantages over the traditional side-byside double stroller. It is able to accommodate two children of different ages, better maneuverability on rough terrain and a greater variety of seating options.

Some strollers that convert can be adjusted to as many as 24 different configurations. Parents can choose to put one child in a bassinet, and another in a car seat or have both seats facing forward, and the other backward. You can even have three children (with the ride-along board). This kind of stroller tends to be heavier because it has to support two seats by their weight.
