Why Buy a Pram Set?

A pram set will simplify your family's travel plans and reduce costs compared to buying each item separately. These typically include a pushchair seat, a baby carrycot that is flat, and an iSize child car seat.

Newborns must be able to lie flat, as this is the ideal for their growing lungs. All prams included in this buying guide will allow your baby to lie flat.

1. Combination pram

A combination pram is a great option for families. They are suitable from birth and can be used with the car seat or capsule (most baby car seats can be affixed to prams with a click of an button). The pram expands with the child and can be transformed from a bassinet to an actual stroller.

An excellent option is the Junama TERMOMIX, a modern pram that can be used in conjunction with the Maxi Cosi Micro Plus baby travel system. This combination pram is suitable from birth with the capsule, and later expands into an e-stretcher style seat that can accommodate children up to 4 years old. This combination pram removes the necessity for multiple car seats and prams, making space in your home and boot of your car seat pram.

The Junama TERMO MIX is a large shopping basket that includes a chic matching rain cover, nappy bag and mosquito net. It is light and easy to maneuver which makes it an ideal choice for city living. It features swivel wheels that allow it to maneuver through tight spaces and can be folded down in one motion. It comes with a one-handed fastener to make it quicker to get the child into and out of the pram and an adjustable footmuff for pushchair use in winter.

When you are choosing a pram and car seat combination, you need to look at the features that are most important to you. The most important is safety is the safety of the car seat. Does it have a 5-point harness? Does it meet Australian Safety Standards? Is it compatible with the stroller that you are contemplating purchasing? A lot of combos are small and can be an advantage if your car has a limited space in the boot or you rely on ride-hailing apps or taxis for transportation. It is important to look at the size of the boot of the pram you are contemplating and if it will fit into the trunk of your car. It is also an excellent idea to check the handle's height so that you can easily reach it while pushing and to check that it has handles that can be adjusted.

2. Twin pram

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

Side by side top prams are ideal for siblings who are close in age, since they can interact with each other and play together. However, this could lead to snack stealing and toy fights. If you're not careful, you could end having one child seated in the backseat, and the other one being pushed forward, which can be very risky. A good idea is to put a small towel or blanket between the seats to prevent them from touching so that you can control their movements easily.

If you're looking for a set of two prams, make sure you check the dimensions of the seat bases since they may not fit into your car's boot or be able to fold down to the height you require. Also, consider how much space is available in your home to store the buggy when it's not in use, and also where you intend to keep it once it's folded.

The Graco Twin City Mini is an excellent choice parents who want an affordable double pram and packed with features. This side-by-side pram is easy to move around, has several reclining positions on the seats and a large basket under each seat. The canopy provides an excellent shield against sun or rain while the windows allow you to monitor the kids and ensure their safety. The seats are stadium style, meaning that both kids enjoy a stunning view of the world around them.

3. Single pram

A single pram can only accommodate one child. They are designed to be a comfortable, safe place for your child to ride in and provide the possibility of creating a unique travel experience. You can customise your foldable pram with accessories, such as a cosy footmuff or rain cover, to keep your baby comfortable and protected from the elements.

Think about how the pram will work with your budget, lifestyle and what features are most important to you. Choose a stroller that folds quickly and easily (or even with one hand). The best travel stroller prams will allow you to fold the chassis down flat so that it is easy to take it away for storage. It's also worth thinking about whether you want a stroller or pram with the option to attach a toddler board.

Strollers are a great choice for active families and will generally feature a suspension system to give a smooth ride on uneven surfaces. They are often more compact than prams and are able to fold away, making them a good option for families who travel. Find a stroller that includes a basket for storage and plenty of space in the hood to store baby gear. A reclining seat and a cushioned handle are important features.

You may want to consider a double convertible pram if you plan on having another child in the next three years. These can be used as a single one when your first child is small and later converted into double by the addition of the bassinet, a second seat or carry cot. These can save you from having to purchase and maintain 2 prams at the same time.

Side-by-side double prams are a great choice for twins as they give the children equal seats and a view of one other. However, they tend to be wider than a single pram and therefore are more difficult to maneuver particularly in busy shopping centres or on busy streets. If you are considering a double side-by-side stroller be sure that it is compatible with car capsules. This allows you to use it while your baby is in the capsule and then switch back to single mode when your older child is old enough.
