Why Buy a Pram Set?

A pram set simplifies your family's travel plans, and you can save money by buying the items separately. Typically these include an infant carrycot that can lie flat, pushchair seat and the i-Size car seat.

Newborns need to lie flat as this is ideal for their growing lungs. All prams included in this buying guide will allow your baby to lie flat.

1. Combination pram

Combination prams are an excellent option for families. They can be used as early as birth with a capsule or car seat (most baby car seats are attached to prams by clicking the button). The pram expands with the baby and can be converted from a bassinet to a stroller.

The Junama TERMO Mix is a modern stroller that is able to be used in combination with the Maxi Cosi Baby Travel System. This combination pram is suitable for babies from birth using the capsule, and later expands into an adult-sized stroller that can hold children up to 4 years old. This pram is a combination of car seats and strollers. It saves you space and money in your home or boot of your vehicle.

The Junama TERMO MIX comes with a large shopping basket which comes with a stylish matching nappy bag, rain cover and mosquito net. It is also lightweight and easy to move around making it an ideal option for urban living. It has swivel wheels which help you navigate tight spaces. It can also be folded down in a single movement. It has a one-handed fastener that makes it simpler to get your child in and out of the stroller. The footmuff can be removable and can be used during winter.

When you are choosing a car seat and pram combination, you need to consider the features that matter most to you. Safety is the most crucial 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're contemplating? Many of the combos are small and compact, which is great when you are limited with boot space in your vehicle or rely on taxis/ride-hailing apps to get around. Check the size of the trunk and boot of the prams you're considering. You should also check the height of the handles to ensure that you are able to reach them easily when pushing.

2. Twin pram

If you have twins or two siblings with different age groups, a side-by side pram and travel system is an easy way to take them both out for a walk. This double buggy can fit in most standard car boot spaces and can be used with infant seats, toddler car seats or baby carry cots. The seats can be adjusted in a variety of ways to ensure your kids are comfortable. There are five recline options, a large sun canopy and peek-a-boo hoods to help protect your kids from the elements, and the wheels provide excellent suspension for rough terrain.

It is ideal for siblings with similar age groups to have side by side prams. This allows them to play together and have fun. 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 one being pulled forward, which could be very dangerous. One good suggestion is to put a small towel or blanket between the seats to keep them from touching, so you can control their movements easily.

If you're looking for a dual pram set be sure to check the dimensions of the seat bases as they might not fit into the car boot or fold down to the height you require. It's also worth thinking about the space available in your home for storing the buggy when it is not in use, and the location you'll be keeping it once it's folded up.

The Graco Twin City Mini is an excellent choice for parents who are looking for a double stroller that is affordable and has oodles of features. This side-by-side stroller is easy to maneuver, has multiple recline positions for the seats and a big basket underneath each seat. The canopies offer excellent protection from sunlight or rain, while the windows allow you to monitor your twins to ensure they're secure. The seats in the stadium style let both kids take in the stunning view.

3. Single pram

A single pram can only accommodate one child. They are designed to be a comfortable, safe place for your baby to ride in and offer the possibility of creating an unforgettable travel experience. You can customise your pram by adding accessories such as a soft footmuff, or a rain cover, to ensure your child is secure and safe from the elements.

Consider how the stroller will work with your lifestyle, budget and what features are important to yourself. Look for a pram that folds easily and quickly (or even one-handed). The best prams let you fold the chassis flat, making it easy to store. You should also consider whether you want to buy a stroller equipped with a toddler board.

Strollers are an excellent choice for families that are active and usually have a suspension system to provide a smooth ride over uneven surfaces. They are usually smaller than prams, and can fold up which makes them a great option for travellers. Choose a stroller which has a storage basket and plenty of room in the hood for baby gear. Also a reclined seat and padding handles are a must.

If you are planning to have a second child in the next 3 years, a convertible double pram might be worth considering. They can be used as a single stroller when your child is young and then transformed into double by adding an additional seat or bassinet. You can avoid having to buy and maintain two prams.

Side-by-side double prams are excellent choice for twins because they offer the children equally seated and a view of one other. However, they are often wider than a single pram and so are less maneuverable particularly in busy shopping centres or on busy streets. If you're considering a double side-by-side pram sets ensure that it is compatible with car capsules. This allows you to use it while your baby is in the capsule, and then switch it back to single mode once your older child is old enough.
