Why Buy a
Pram and Pushchair 2 in 1?
2-in-1 prams are designed to meet the needs of modern families. They seamlessly transform from comfortable carrycots to practical pushchairs. They're also perfect for reducing your parenting costs, eliminating the need for a separate pram and pushchairs.
You should look for an infant pram with a flat seat, and ideally an infant bassinet. It's also worth checking whether the fabrics are machine washable.
Elegant and fashionable
The variety of products on the market can be overwhelming. It can be confusing to understand what's on the market and where each type of product fits in. The main difference between a pushchair and a pram is that a pram has the ability to lie flat, making it suitable for babies and newborns until around six months.
A pram 2 in 1 buggy and car seat (

The compact fold of a pram 2 in 1 makes it easy to store in small places like the car's boot or a cabinet at home. It is light and robust, making it simple to navigate through city streets or on public transport. Many products have an extendable canopy that protects your baby from harmful UV rays. The wipeable fabrics make it easy to clean.
As your child grows, you can modify your stroller to meet your child's changing needs by adding various accessories and additional features. The reclining seat, for example, can be adjusted to different positions to ensure that your child can sit in a semi-reclined or upright position, and the hood can be adjusted in different ways, based on your preference. You can also buy an infant tray, footmuff or a console for parents to complete your pushchair. A pushchair and pram in 1 also includes an ideal changing bag that is ideal to store bottles, nappies and other necessities on your trips.
Convenient on-the-go
A pushchair and pram that is 2 in 1 can allow you to adapt to various situations, whether it's driving busy roads or taking a peaceful stroll through the park. For newborns, a cosy carrycot creates a nurturing environment that allows your baby to sleep and rest, while for toddlers and older children, the spacious seat lets them sit up straight and enjoy the view.
A
2 in 1 highchair-in-1 pram also offers the convenience of a lightweight and manoeuvrable frame that's ideal to travel with. This makes it easy to navigate through crowded airports, shopping centres and towns when you're out and about with your little one. Some prams such as the Kiddicare Cloud 2 In 1 allow you to attach to a car seat that is compatible (sold separately) and transform it into a complete travel system. This gives you peace of mind right from the time of birth.
Other essential features of a pram and pushchair 2in1 include a movable handlebar that offers a comfortable and safe pushing experience for parents of all sizes and a large storage basket that's ideal for storing your baby's necessities and a variety of accessories, such as a raincover, apron or bottle holder. A lot of models also feature the fold similar to that of an umbrella to make it easier to store.
It's worth checking that your choice of pushchair and pram can be machine washed to make cleaning easy. If it's not, then clean the area with warm water and mild detergent. This will keep your apron and pushchair looking fresh for a long time.
Space-efficient
A 2 in 1 pram or pushchair can help you save space and money as your child grows. A 2-in-1 travel system comprises the carrycot, a pushchair, and an infant seat that can be used either separately or together as your child grows. The 2-in-1 pram is designed to be used from birth, and later converted into an infant pushchair once your child is able to sit up. This makes it unnecessary to purchase separate prams and pushchairs.
Generally, 2-in-1 strollers can be modified to meet the changing needs of your baby by removing or adding features such as a car seat base, infant carrier or hood/parasol. These extra accessories could have an alter the size of the pushchair, so it's advisable to compare this across different brands.
For example, a hood/parasol is a great accessory to keep your child safe from harmful UV rays. It can also help protect them from light rain and winds. A parasol that is attached to the
stroller 2 in 1 car seat will ensure that your baby does not overheat as they walk.
A high-quality hood or parasol is made of SPF/UPF50+ fabrics that provide UV protection to your baby. Make sure that the hood and fabric are machine washable to make cleaning fast and easy. Some hoods are water-resistant and can be cleaned easily by spraying them with a hose or water and a bit of washing liquid. Alternately, you can use a wet wipe. The changing bags are a great addition to the
2 in 1 pram and car seat-in-1 pram and should be spacious, with multiple pockets for maximum organization and bottle holders with insulated bottles for cold drinks. They also come with a convenient changing mat and an adjustable shoulder strap that can be detached for easy carrying.
Safe and secure
A 2 in 1 pram and pushchair is an excellent option for parents who want to save money while giving their child the best ride. Look for a design engineered for your child's safety, and that includes features that make traveling easy. For instance, a reclining seat that allows your little one to relax or sleep as you get through your day, adjustable sun hoods, UV protection and wipeable fabrics to prevent any spills from spills from food or potty training.
Look for a stroller that has a good brake system and two locking mechanisms to stop the chassis from folding accidentally when using. You can be sure that your child is safe throughout the day. Check that the pushchair is suitable for the maximum weight of your child, and ensure that all straps, catches and buckles are secure.
If you're an urban walker, you should choose a lightweight pushchair and pram that can be folded into a compact size to fit into tight spaces, like in public transport or your boot. Or if you prefer to walk for long distances, choose more bouncy pram, such as the Silver Cross 3D or Mamas and Papas Pramette that offers your baby a comfortable ride and can cope with bumpier terrain. These are often bigger in size and therefore could be a little difficult to hoick onto and off buses or trains and may require a decent car boot to store them, but will allow your baby to enjoy the scenery without feeling as if they're squished.
From your birth, you're a suitable candidate
One of the most important decisions new parents have to decide on is whether to go for a pushchair or pram. The second is a stroller that could be transformed into a car or infant carrier. The first is a baby carriage which includes the carrycot. One of these options may best suit your needs depending on the size and age of your child.
Many 2-in-1 prams can be configured to accommodate newborns with the full-length bassinet. They can also be converted into a pushchair seat with a recline position and hood. For instance the Mumsnet Best Buy Nuna Mixx Next features a comfortable cushioned seat that has a soft liner and an adjustable hood that provides adequate protection from rain. It also has a screen for viewing so you can monitor your child without disturbing them when they are sleeping.
You can select a parent-facing and world-facing seat configuration for your newborn toddler, with the option of adding an isofix base and car seat (if you don't have an infant carrier that's compatible). A lot of our 2-in-1 strollers are available as travel systems, and can be used starting at birth, if you have an appropriate car seat.
You can also buy a matching changing pouch with bottles with insulated pockets, several pockets and multiple compartments for your essentials. This allows you to keep everything organized in an ideal place. Some pushchairs include an integrated shopping basket, and others feature a handy storage compartment at the back. If you plan to enjoy a day in the sun, you should consider an all-in-one stroller that comes with an umbrella that expands and has SPF/UPF50+ protection.
