Buying a Pram With Car Seat
When you are looking for a pram, there are a lot of things to take into consideration. Capsules, convertible pushchairs, ride-on boards - all have pros and cons.
The pram with car seats also known as a travel system, is among the most popular baby strollers. It allows you to seamlessly transfer your baby from car to stroller without disturbing them up.
Parent Confronting
Babies born today require a pram with a carrycot which offers a safe place for their sleep while out and is in a parent facing position. This allows them to look at you when they travel and makes it easy for you to respond when they awake or require extra reassurance.
Many parents prefer keeping their children in the same room with them as they get older. They choose a stroller that has an convertible car-seat, to ensure that even when they are out and about, they will still see them. This is an excellent way for parents to connect with their child and also provide comfort.
When your baby is facing you in a pushchair, they are able to look at you, and even mirror you. This is an important part of their language-development. They also hear your voice and learn about the world around them from your conversations and reactions which aids in their emotional and social development.
However, a recent study found that children who are in front-facing buggies cry more than those in the parent-facing ones. This could be because children who face forward in buggies can suffer from stress and sensory overload, which can lead to crying. Buggies with babies facing the parent are more relaxed and usually chat freely.
Looking at your baby will help them develop their visual recognition skills and is a great way to build up their balance as they learn to navigate the buggy. It also helps reduce separation anxiety as your child will be looking to you for comfort and reassurance when they feel upset or anxious. It is important to note that children in front-facing buggies can also experience this feeling, especially if they are getting excited about the sights and sounds around them and it's hard to change their perspective in just a few minutes. This is because they have to move their bodies in a manner they're not used. This can cause discomfort and irritability.
Ergonomic Supports
To ensure that your baby is comfortable in the stroller, he should have enough neck and head support. Some designers have added attachments that provide this feature in their strollers. One model, as illustrated in Figure (c) is equipped with an option that allows the back of the seat to recline into a pram. This is accomplished by pivoting the handle attached to both the rear and front wheels. The back wheels then fold to meet the handle.
Another design is a head protector that is attached to the seat. It prevents the child's head from stretching too much in case of a frontal collision. This design is also suitable for older babies because the inner and outer supports can be adjusted to suit the head shape.
Doona Side Impact Protector Add-On is a cutting-edge device available for
baby strollers. This attachment is able to be affixed to the Doona Infant Insert and ensures your newborn is in a comfortable ergonomic position. This is accomplished by a near-flat design that is able to support the lower and upper spine. The add-on has soft cushions that help absorb the impact of an accident.
Padded Seats
A good pram with car seat should have padding to ensure that your child is properly supported and comfortable during long journeys. A padded seat helps your baby establish a good posture and decreases the chance of neck strains or torticollis.
You may also consider a car seat that features the 'lie-flat' option. This feature is particularly popular among parents, as it lets your child rest throughout the journey without having to wake them up to change their seat. The lie-flat feature is also beneficial for improving the air circulation of your baby and preventing overheating.
Typically infant car seats accommodate infants up to two years old according to the limits delineated by the manufacturer. When they reach this age it's time to move them into an convertible car seat.
Because of this, many parents choose to purchase a pram with a built-in infant car seat that can be used from birth. Mountain Buggy Nano is one example of a pram which can be used from birth. It is compatible with infant and toddler car seats, such as the Cosco Scenera NEXT.
When selecting a car seat for your pram that has a car-seat attachment it is important to ensure that the manufacturer is in compliance with European safety standards. This will protect your child in the event of an accident. It's also important to make sure that the car seat has a solid base and includes indicators to make it easy for a flawless installation.
For instance, the egg Shell comes with a padded side-impact protection shell and memory foam headrest to reduce the impact force transmitted to your baby in a collision. It also comes with an extendable leg bar and rebound bar to ensure stability, and visual indicators that confirm the correct installation of the seat. The seat can be used with any egg Multi Car Seat adaptors and the vehicle seatbelt (ECE R44/04) to ensure even greater security.
Ride-On Board
A buggy board is an ideal way to improve your pram for children who is able to walk, but needs a bit of assistance. Also referred to a stroller platform or ride-on boards, these innovative contraptions attach to the back of your pushchair to give your older child a place to sit or stand when they're in the car seat. It's a fun and exciting way to help them keep on top of dad and mommy and makes getting around simpler, allowing you to reach your destination on time instead of at toddler pace.

You can adjust the arms to move the board closer or farther away from the frame of the pram. You can also adjust the width horizontally according to the size of your child. The board also features swinging wheels made of caoutchouc which improves manoeuvrability and keeps your children comfortable thanks to the shock absorber system.
You can also add a footmuff to your stroller that will keep your baby warm during the winter. A changing bag that has plenty of space for wipes, clothes, and nappies is another great accessory. You should choose a pram equipped with a changing pad, which can be unzipped to create a wipe-clean surface. Many models have a separate compartment for your keys or mobile phone to ensure you don't misplace keys while traveling.
