If you're expecting a baby it's worthwhile investing in a pram that will last. Look for models that fold down to an attractive size and are easy to move and have the right accessories.

The right pram for you.

A pushchair or pram is a thing that children will spend many hours in, so it's vital to select the right one for their needs. There are a number of factors to consider, such as size and weight storage options, safety features as well as the overall appearance and feel of the pushchair travel system.

Take into consideration your life style. If you are frequent users of public transport then a compact and lightweight stroller could be the ideal option. For families who enjoy walking or hiking, an all-terrain pram is a better choice for trails that are rough and rocky. If you are planning to travel, you may prefer a travel stroller that can be folded down to fit into the overhead luggage compartments on flights.

Choose if you want a stroller that is three or four-wheeled. Three-wheeled strollers are more robust on rough surfaces. Four-wheeled models can carry heavier loads and provide better maneuverability. It's a good idea to visit shops that allow you to try prams out, as this will allow you to get an understanding of the way they move and how easy or difficult it is to push them.

Once you've decided what kind of pram you're looking for, it's important to look for one that is compliant with the Australian Product Safety Standards. This includes a five-point safety harness, the locking brake system and an adult tether that can be used to keep children close in the event of a pram tipping over.

Consider adding accessories to your pram such as a sun canopy, or a footmuff. A sun canopy can help protect your child from sun's rays and help prevent overheating. Make sure that the canopy is UPF 50+ rating.

A changing bag is another option to think about. A changing bag is an ideal option to carry all of your baby's necessities and will usually include plenty of pockets and compartments for snacks, toys, and nappies. Depending on the brand of pram you select it might come with an adjustable changing mat that can be removed from the bag to make quick and easy diaper changes. A soft fabric and waterproof material are key elements to look for in the changing pad.

Convertible prams

If you're looking to purchase a pushchair that grows with your family convertible prams are excellent choice. They usually start out as single prams but with the possibility of adding a second child or carrycot and also accommodate car seats if necessary. These models are extremely adaptable and are the most popular option for parents with growing children.

These prams sport a fashionable look, but are also light and easy to maneuver. Some models have a big canopy that offers excellent UV protection, as well as plenty of storage. They are perfect for running errands and getting to and from the park.

The Joolz Geo 3 pram is a sleek and robust stroller that's easy to move. It's perfect for infants to toddlers. It's available in an extensive range of colours and has many features such as a five-point security harness and locking wheels. It's also extremely large and has a great seat that makes it suitable for older children.

The Cybex Gazelle is a different excellent option. It can be used as either a double or a single, with a seat or crib. It can accommodate a kidboard for siblings or friends. It's a breeze even when it is loaded with groceries and multiple children.

Take a look at the egg2 if you're looking for a fashionable and affordable double pram. It is available in a variety of colours and has an elegant design. It can be used as a twin pram with the option of combining seats and an infant carrycot that is suitable for children up to four years old.

The cocoons can be attached in pairs to create twin prams. If you need an additional child seat, you can easily add a car seat or bassinet.

Side-by-side prams

If you're expecting twins, or have a toddler and a new baby, a good quality double pushchair can make family outings much more comfortable. Also known as tandem prams, these types of prams allow your little ones to sit side-by-side and look at each one another. They are also a bit wider than single-to double strollers, however, they are still easy to maneuver up and down kerbs.

The attachment can be put in front of the stroller to accommodate an additional child. This is referred to as"a "joey seat" and it can provide an ideal way to keep children close while allowing them to see the world. Find out if the model you're considering comes with this feature. There are many options, such as the Valco Baby Trend Duo Twin babiie stroller or Zoe Twin Trio.

Twin prams are a very popular choice because they can be used from birth and accommodate infants in carrycots, or toddlers in their seats. Some are fixed as double buggies while others, like the Cybex Venus Twin can convert into a single stroller, with a spacious undercarriage basket - ideal for those who have children who are old enough to walk.

You could also opt for a side-by-side pram such as the Phil & Teds Vist v2 Double. It is sturdy and comes with plenty of storage. There's also an option to include a second seat so you can bring an additional child. The hood was too small for my friend's tall child, however it's an excellent option if you have older children.

Anything that can carry two babies is going to be quite heavy, particularly if you're using it with a newborn in a carrycot and a toddler in the seat. Examine the weight of the entire pushchair including any seats or carrycots. This could be a problem for certain families. Some models have an upper weight limit for seats/carrycots as well as a maximum frame weight which will help you decide which is suitable for your family. The Joolz Geo 3 Twin, for example is a model that has a maximum weight of 16kg for each seat.

Twin prams

Twin prams are essential for parents of two young children of the same age. The good news is there is a huge selection of double travel strollers systems on the market, which differ in cost and style but all come with security features.

Inline twin prams typically have one seat over the other, with a canopy between. These kinds of prams are very popular because they provide a large amount of shade and protection from the elements and many also feature hoods with peek-a-boo windows that let parents monitor their kids. However, this kind of twin pram can be difficult to manoeuvre between kerbs, and can be quite bulky making it hard to fit in small car booties.

Side-by-side twin prams are generally wider overall and offer more seating flexibility. They can be used with twin infant car seats so they create a complete transport system for newborns and toddlers. However, they have a disadvantage in that children are not separated which can lead to snack stealing and toy fighting between little ones.

Tandem prams begin as single buggies. They can be upgraded to include a second seat at the back, front or under. The majority of tandems are made to accommodate an infant in a bassinet in the top position and an infant in the second seat. This is a versatile and cost-effective option for parents of twins or children of various age groups as it prolongs the lifespan of your buggy.

Modern twin prams are more compact and easier to maneuver. This can reduce the space available for nappy bag storage and shopping. It can be a challenge to lift twin prams into and out the boot of a car, especially when the car is an SUV with a lip you have to lift to get the pram in.
