Why We Enjoy Pram Sets (And You Should Also!)

Why Buy a Pram Set?

A pram set can simplify your family's travel plans, and will save you money over buying each item individually. Typically these include a carrycot with a lie-flat for newborns or parent facing pushchair, as well as an the i-Size car seat.

Newborns must be able to lie flat, as this is the best for their developing lungs. All prams listed in this guide allow your baby to lie flat.

1. Combination pram

Combination prams are a great option for families. They can be used from birth with either a car or capsule (most baby car seats can be attached to prams by clicking a button). The pram will then grow with the child, changing from a bassinet and turning into a stroller-style seat.

A great option is the Junama TerMO MIX is a contemporary pram that can be used with the Maxi Cosi Micro Plus baby travel system. This combination pram is suited from birth with the capsule and can later grow into a stroller-style seat that can accommodate an infant up to 4 years old. This combination pram eliminates the need for multiple car seats and prams, saving you money and space in your home and boot of your car.

The Junama TERMO MIX is a large shopping basket that comes with a stylish matching nappies bag, rain cover and mosquito net. It is also light and easy to maneuver making it a great choice for city living. It comes with swivel wheels that allow it to maneuver through tight spaces and can be folded down in one motion. It comes with a single-handed fastener that makes it simpler to get your child in and out of the stroller. The footmuff can be adjustable and can be used even in winter.

When looking for a car seat pram combination it is important to take a look at the features that are most important to you and your needs. The most important is safety - does the car seat come with a 5-point harness? Does it meet Australian Safety Standards and is it compatible with the pram you're considering? Many combos are compact which is advantageous if your car has a limited space in the boot or you depend on ride-hailing apps or taxis to get around. Take a look at the dimensions of the trunk and boot of the prams you are considering. It is also a good idea to check the handle's height to ensure you can easily reach it when pushing, and to ensure that it has adjustable handles.

2. Twin pram

A side-byside pram is a great method to transport twins or siblings of various age groups. 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 reclining positions, a huge sun canopy, and peek-a-boo the hoods to shield your kids from the elements. The wheels also offer an excellent suspension for rough terrain.

It is beneficial for siblings of similar ages to have side-by-side prams. This allows them to play together and to interact. However, it can also result in snack theft and toy fights. You might find that one child is pushed into the back seat, while the other one is in the front, which could be risky. One good suggestion is to put a small towel or blanket between the seats to keep them from touching so that you can manage their movements easily.

If you're looking for a double pushchair pram set be sure to check the dimensions of the seat bases since they might not fit in your car's boot or be able to fold down to the height you need. It is also important to consider how much space you have in your home to store the buggy when it is not in use and where you'll be keeping it when it is folded.

Parents who want a low-cost yet well-featured double pram should consider the Graco Twin City Mini. This side-by-side pram is easy to move around, has several recline positions for the seats and a large basket underneath each seat. The canopy offers an excellent shield from sunlight or rain, and the windows allow you to keep an eye on your twins and ensure they're secure. The seats are stadium style which means that both children enjoy a fantastic view of the world around them.

3. Single pram

A single pram is made to seat a single baby. The prams are made to provide a safe, comfortable place for your child to travel in and allow you to create an unforgettable experience. You can customize your pram with accessories like a soft footmuff, or a rain cover to keep your baby secure and safe from the elements.

Think about how the pram will work with your budget, lifestyle and what features are important to you. Choose a model that can fold easily, and quickly (or even one-handed). The most reliable prams let you fold down the chassis flat to make it easy to store. It's also worth deciding if you want a pram or stroller that has the option to connect a toddler board.

Strollers are an excellent choice for active families and will typically come with a suspension system that will give a smooth ride on uneven surfaces. They tend to be smaller than prams and can be folded easily. This makes them a great option for travel. Choose a stroller newborn which includes a basket for storage and plenty of room in the hood to store baby equipment. A reclined seat and padded handle are equally desirable.

If you are planning to have a second child in the next 3 years, then a convertible double pram might be worth a look. It can be used as one stroller if your child is still small, and then converted to a double with the addition of an additional seat or bassinet. It is possible to not have to buy and maintain two prams.

Side-by-side double prams are a ideal choice for twins since they give the children equal seats and a view of one other. They are wider than single prams and therefore less mobile in busy shopping centres and on busy streets. If you're thinking of purchasing a side-by-side double pram be sure that it's compatible with capsules for cars, to allow you to use it while your infant is in the capsule and then change to a single mode when your older child is ready.
