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

The flat, flat position of a pram is great for infants as it allows them to breathe and develop. These models often come with a bassinet attachment or cocoon.

Baby Carriage

Choosing the right baby car is a difficult task for new parents. The terms pram, buggy and pushchair are used often, and it's often unclear what the distinction is between the three.

The term pram was used in the past to refer to any wheeled child carriage. They ranged from hand-held baskets to huge, ornately decorated carriages that were pulled along by a draft animal or a human. They were typically designed to look like shells and included the handlebar, hood and storage space. In the 19th century there were improvements made to prams to ensure they were safe for infants and their caregivers. These included adding a brake and models that folded, as well as designs for parasols.

The modern pram offers a more versatile, practical alternative to the traditional pram. It features a large deep bassinet, a carrycot as well as a comfortable infant's seat with adjustable reclining positions. A lot of prams can be converted into pushchairs using the same chassis, and an additional car seat or carrycot.

As babies get older, they're able to move from the pram to the pushchair. The difference isn't any significant, but the fact that pushchairs are geared towards older babies is what makes them ideal for longer walks and travel. They feature a larger seat that can be positioned both towards the parent for bonding and away from them to explore the surroundings. Many pushchairs also have an umbrella with a basket for storage and a handlebar that can be adjusted to meet the needs of an expanding infant.

Whether you're in the market for a new pram, pushchair or baby buggy, you'll be able to find a wide selection of options to choose from at Babyfair. You can even opt for a travel system, which offers the best of both worlds - an infant pram that can be converted into a pushchair and car seats that snap into place on the base. This allows the baby to be moved into and out of the pram without disturbing their sleep or fussing, which is perfect for long walks or trips. The chassis is light, compact travel pram and can be folded to fit neatly into the trunk or boot of a car.

Travel System

Travel systems are the best option for parents who wish to travel with their baby in the comfort of their home. A travel system is a frame that fits a pushchair that can be fitted with an infant car seat or carrycot. This makes it easy to carry a sleepy baby from the car to the stroller without them awakening.

A travel system is a great choice for new parents. It will ensure your child is safe and comfortable right from the moment they're born. It will also give you the option of using an automobile capsule for the first few months while they're still young and then moving to a pushchair unit once they're large enough. Look for travel systems that have adaptors for car seats if you're considering purchasing a car seat.

Pram

Prams are specifically designed for newborns and infants who can't sit up or hold their heads upright. They provide a flat surface for your baby to lay on while you are out and 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 infants to lie flat. If they are supported, it can cause them to slouch slightly. This isn't great for their health. It can also hinder their breathing. Prams allow your baby to lay flat and be supported, making them more comfortable and safe during your outings.

Many prams come with an hood that can be lowered in order to shield your child. They usually have a large basket that can hold everything your baby needs and a retractable rain cover to shield your baby from the sun. Most prams are easy to clean. Simply vacuum the fabric, or wipe it clean with a damp cloth. It is best to remove the wheels from your pram, wash them in a bathtub or sink and allow them to dry completely before replacing them. To keep your baby safe, make sure your pushchair is in compliance with the Australian Safety Standard.

Strollers are a bit more advanced than prams as they are designed for infants who can sit up. They can recline and come with adjustable handlebars that parents can adjust to ensure maximum comfort for your child. They're generally lighter than prams and have smaller wheels that make them easier to move around. Most strollers have the option of having a hood that is shut to give your baby protection from the sun, and some are equipped with a bassinet, or carrycot for babies younger than.

A stroller can be a bit more challenging to maintain than a pram and travel system however it's essential to maintain it to ensure that your child is comfortable and safe. Find a stroller that can be machine washed to make cleaning a breeze. If you have to spot clean, use a soft cloth or washing up liquid. In colder temperatures the footmuff can be an excellent accessory. It is recommended to select an item 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 a great option for those who are planning to have an additional child or have one. This type double stroller comes with many advantages over the traditional side-by-side double stroller. It is able to accommodate two children of different ages, better maneuverability in rough terrain, and a greater variety of seating options.

Some convertible strollers can be adapted to accommodate as many as 24 different seating configurations that allow parents to pick between having one child in the bassinet and another in the car seat, or reverse the situation, with both seats facing forward and one facing backward, or even having three children (with a ride-along board). This type of stroller is generally heavier because it has to support two seats with their weight.
