The easy path to navigating the world of baby transport.
You're about to become a parent. You've often seen the Mums, Dads and grandparents of the world pounding the pavement with their pushchairs (and perhaps a coffee). With all the different brands, sizes, models, accessories and travel systems available, you may be wondering how anyone could ever arrive at a decision on which pram or pushchair to buy. After all, a pushchair is an investment and probably one of the most frequently used items in a child's early years. A well-chosen pushchair or pram can see your baby right through from newborn to their toddler years.
With that in mind, we've created an easy reference guide to cut through the confusion and offer you a simplified, easy-to-understand view of the large array of pushchairs and prams on offer. All you need to do is answer a few simple questions to narrow down your search and help you hone in on the type of pushchair that's right for you, your lifestyle and your budget.
Thanks to stringent safety standards in Australia, you can rest assured that any pushchair you decide to purchase from us will comply with all safety guidelines and will be sturdy enough to protect your little one's physical requirements in-line with the age specifications for each model. Most prams and pushchairs also come with a generous warranty period to give you added peace of mind.
Here's how to easily compare and select the perfect pushchair or pram for you:
Travel Systems:
- Do you want to be able to cover all your baby transport needs from 0-toddler in one purchase?
- Do you want a carry cot option for infant stage?
- Do you want to have compatibility with a wide range of accessories such as cup holders and rain covers?
- Do you need compatibility with your car capsule?
If you answered yes to the above questions, consider a complete travel system. They are a clever way of ensuring you have everything you need to transport your baby from newborn well into their toddler years.
Prams:
- Do you want to be able to fully recline the seat for newborn stage?
- Do you want to have the ability to have your baby facing you so you can see them whilst walking?
- Would you like the ability to use a shopping basket feature underneath the pram for errands and carrying baby supplies?
- Do you have the space for a pram at your residence and in your vehicle?
If you answered yes to the above questions, consider our prams. They are traditional in style and are a versatile way to travel your baby. Often you can switch the parent-facing seat to forward-facing when you baby gets older so they can watch the world go by.
Pushchairs:
- Do you want something easy to fold?
- Will you be travelling a lot?
- Would you prefer something simple with less storage underneath?
- Do you want something suitable to use up to 2 years?
If you answered yes to the above questions, consider a pushchair. They are capable of traversing different types of terrain and are ideal if space is an issue for you. Pushchairs, whilst simple, often can still be fully reclined to suit your newborn and some also have parent facing and forward-facing capability. Pushchairs are ideal if you don't need to use them with a carry cot or car capsule.
Strollers:
- Is your child over 6 months?
- Do you want something compact and easy to store?
- Do you want something lightweight?
- Do you travel a lot?
- Do you need to navigate crowded spaces often?
- Do you have a small vehicle?
If you answered yes to the above questions then we suggest you consider a stroller. Strollers are a breeze to use, take up little space and can save your arm muscles if you're doing a lot of travelling around. If your child is over 6 months, strollers offer versatile functionality, with a minimum of fuss.
Twin or Tandem Prams:
- Are you expecting twins or will you have two children close in age?
- Will you be taking both children out at once?
- Do you need to cater for two different aged children in the one pram?
If you answered yes to the above questions then we suggest you consider our tandem range. Tandem prams are essential if you have two small children and you plan on taking them out together. Most tandem prams have individually functioning seats, meaning you can select the most appropriate setting for each child as you go.
Tandem prams are perfect for keeping toddlers safe whilst you're out and about with a smaller baby or newborn. As you can imagine, one person pushing two separate prams or pushchairs is near impossible so having the one pram unit for both children is a necessity for family travel.
Above all, make sure that the pram, pushchair or travel system you choose is functional for your lifestyle and will likely make your life easier.
