Baby Carriage

Parents who are first-time parents may be faced with a difficult task of choosing the right baby transportation. The terms buggy, pram and pushchair are commonly used but it's not always clear which one is the best choice.

The term pram has been used historically to describe any wheeled child carriage. They were hand-held, small baskets, to large elegantly designed carriages that were pulled by a draft animal. They were typically made of shells and usually had the handlebar, hood and storage space. In the 19th century there were improvements made to prams to make them safer for children and their caregivers. This included adding brakes, models that folded and designs for parasols.

The modern pram is an easier and more flexible option than the traditional ones. It features a large, deep bassinet or carrycot, as well as a comfortable child's seat that can be adjusted to recline. Many prams convert into pushchairs using the same chassis with an additional car seat and carrycot.

As they grow older, they're ready to transition from the pram to a pushchair. The difference between the two isn't significant, but pushchairs designed for older babies are better designed for longer walks and travel. They come with a more spacious seat that can be positioned both towards the parent to bond and away from them to explore the surroundings. Many pushchairs also have a canopy with a basket for storage and a handlebar that can be adjusted to suit the needs of an expanding infant.

Pram

Many prams have an hood that can be lower to shield your child from the elements. Many prams come with a large basket that can accommodate all of your baby's things.

Strollers are a little more sophisticated than prams because they are designed for infants who can sit up. They can recline and come with adjustable handlebars that parents can adjust to ensure optimum comfort for your child. They're typically lighter than prams, and have smaller wheels that make them easier to navigate. The majority of strollers come with the option of having a hood that is closed to provide your baby with protection from the sun and they're sometimes equipped with a bassinet or carrycot for babies younger than.

Convertible

A convertible pram is an infant stroller that transforms into a double stroller by adding a seat. It's an excellent option for parents who are planning on having a second baby or already have another child to their family.

These include the ability to accommodate two children from different ages, better maneuverability on rough terrain, and a greater variety of seating options.

Some convertible strollers are able to adapt to accommodate up to 24 different seating configurations and allow parents to select between having one child in the bassinet, and another in the car seat, or reverse the situation, with the seats facing forward and one backward or even having three children (with a ride-along board). The biggest drawback with this kind of stroller is that it tends to be heavier than other types, since it needs to be capable of supporting two seats and their weight.
