A pram is different from a pushchair in that it has a lying-flat position. This makes it suitable for newborns and infants until six months old.

Secure and safe
A two-in-one pram and pushchair is an excellent choice for parents who want to save money while giving their child the best ride.

For instance, a reclining seat that allows your little one to rest or sleep while you go about your day, adjustable sun hoods with UV protection and wipeable fabrics to prevent any spills from spills from food or potty training.
Choose a stroller with a strong brake system and two locking mechanisms to stop the chassis from folding when it is in use. You can rest assured that your child is protected at all times. Also, ensure that the pushchair can be used up to the weight limit of your child and that all catches, straps and buckles are secured.
If you're a city walker, choose a lightweight pram and pushchair that folds down compactly to allow easy storage in tight spaces, such as on public transport or in your vehicle. If you prefer walking for long distances opt for an affluent style of pram such as the Silver Cross 3D or Mamas and Papas Pramette which gives your baby a comfortable ride and can cope with bumpier terrain. They are usually larger in size so might be a little difficult to hoist on and off buses or trains and might require a large car boot for storage but they will allow your child to enjoy the scenery without feeling as if they're squashed.
The best time to start is when you are born.
One of the most important decisions parents of newborns must decide on is whether to go for a pushchair or pram. The other option is a stroller that can be converted into a car and infant carrier. The first is a baby carriage which includes the carrycot. One of these options will best suit your needs based on the size and age of your child.
Many 2-in-1 strollers can fit infants in a bassinet that is fully lie-flat and later convert into a pushchair with an adjustable recline and hood. For example, the Mumsnet Best Buy Nuna Mixx Next has a comfy cushioned seat, a cozy liner and a fully adjustable hood that provides good coverage from rain. It has a viewing screen so you can keep an eye on your child without disturbing them while they are asleep.
You can choose between an adult-facing or world-facing configuration from newborn to toddler. If you don't have an infant carrier compatible you can also add an isofix base, as well as car seats. Many of our 2-in-1 strollers can be used as travel systems and can be used from at birth, if you have an appropriate car seat.
You can also purchase a matching changing bag with insulated bottle pockets and multiple pockets for your own personal items and keep everything you need organized in a handy spot. Many pushchairs come with an easy-to-use shopping basket, and some have a smart storage compartment in the back to store everything you need. If you intend to enjoy a day in the sun, consider the 2-in-1 stroller that has an umbrella that expands and comes with SPF/UPF50+ safety.
