Why a 3 in 1 Pram is Perfect For New Parents
When you're doing on errands, travelling or just going for an afternoon stroll, a three in 1 stroller will streamline your daily routine. Find out why this type of stroller is ideal for new parents.
The foldable prams are more convenient to transport on public transport, but they may not be as comfortable for long walks or when you need to climb stairs.
Convenience
A 3 in 1 pram is a travel system that lets you change between a pram, car seat, and pushchair (and adapters). These multi-purpose devices simplify life for you and your child.
The majority of 3 in 1 prams begin life as a pram, or carrycot, and are tailored to infants. They are designed to lay flat, which encourages healthy spine development and opens up airways for your child. Some have a window that allows you to monitor your baby without disturbing them.
The next stage for your child is the pushchair, which they can sit in when they become an adult. The majority of our pushchairs feature recline that is reclining to your child's comfort and safety and an easy to access storage basket that can be expanded to allow more space for shopping or toys. Some pushchairs also have a cup holder for parents, and a handy zip-up storage compartment to keep your essentials.
Then you can finish the set by adding a car seat that is attached to the chassis, or attach your existing Group 0+ seat by using an adapter. A 3 in 1, compatible with a car-seat, allows you to transfer your baby from vehicle to pram without disturbing him. This is ideal for long trips or when you're running for errands.
The best 3 in 1 prams come with a complimentary rain cover, which will keep your little one dry and comfortable during rainy weather. There are also models with adjustable handles, which can be useful for those who are taller or smaller than the average. Also, make sure whether your chosen model is lightweight, as this can affect how easy it is to move and lift into and out of the boot of your car. Consider whether your pram has fixed wheels or swivel wheels. Swivel wheels make it easier to move on kerbs and pavements.
Safety
A 3 in 1 or 3-in-1, pram is an excellent option for parents who are new. You can use one set of wheels from the beginning to move your child. This kind of pushchair blends a pram/ carrycot with a pushchair seat, a car seat into one unit. It typically allows you to switch between the three stages as your child grows. This is perfect for families that frequently travel. It can be stored in the boot of your car and at home.
It is important to choose a pram or stroller with the right safety features. Check that the stroller meets AS/NZS2088 safety standards, and ensure that it has a sturdy frame with no folds or gaps that could trap your child's head or legs, arms or even their heads. It should be equipped with a 5-point safety harness and wrist tether to ensure extra security. Make sure any folding mechanisms are locked and you never hang bags over the handles, and don't exceed the carriage weight limits. Always stop your car when you stop, even if you're only stopping for a few minutes, and don't let children play in or out of the pram or stroller while it's moving. They may shake and cause the pram to tip.
It's an ideal idea for your child to have plenty of tummy-time and physical activity. Be aware of the dangers to leave sleepy infants in a pram or stroller unattended as they could get agitated.
Style
A 3 in 1 pram, also known as a travel system bundle, is a great option for families with busy schedules as it reduces the time spent switching between different pushchair components. It typically consists of a pram/ carrycot along with a pushchair and car seat that can be swapped seamlessly to suit your child's changing needs from infant to toddler.
Check for features such as fixed or swivel wheels. These will help you manoeuvre the pram and make sharp turns on your journeys. Check if the shopping basket is big enough and how easy to fold up for transport on trains and buses. Some prams have single handed folding mechanisms that allow quick and simple collapse when you get on or off public transport. Be sure that the pram you are considering is in line with the most recent British safety standards, especially in the case of second hand.
The premium 3-in-1 Baby Pram Set from AILEEKISS provides style, comfort and convenience, taking you through all the stages of parenting from newborn to toddler. It is equipped with the latest safety features and plush seating that can be adjusted to the child's preference. The sleek design is a perfect match for your lifestyle. It also comes with accessories like a shopping bag and cup holder for the parent to make it the ultimate stroller-in-one solution.
Space Saving
It is essential to keep your baby gear organised and easily accessible, especially in homes with a limited space. The 3-in-1 prams are very popular due to their ability to fold down to a small size that easily fits into the car's boot or a storage space at home.
Most modern prams are able to convert into a stroller by removing the seat unit for a pushchair. This leaves the compact body of a pram that can be used from birth. It also converts into a travel system by adding the car pushchairs seat of your child to the chassis (with universal adapters included).
Some prams feature an adjustable seat that can be fully flat, which is perfect for newborns as lying flat promotes the development of a healthy spine and improve breathing. One of our favourites is the Graco Near2Me, that has a handy feature that allows you to lift your child up to your chest with the press of a button. It's ideal for keeping eye contact and intimacy. This feature was a big hit with our parent testers because it gave them the freedom to push their child without needing to hold onto anything.
It is also important to determine if the wheels on your pram are fixed or swivel, as swivels are easier to maneuver. If you plan to take public transport frequently you should consider a one-handed folding mechanism. This will make it simpler and faster to collapse your pram onto and off of the bus or train.
It is also important to determine if the handle height can be adjusted. This will let you find the most comfortable position to push your child. This is particularly important if you suffer from neck or back issues and the incorrect handle height can cause a lot of discomfort.
A 3 in 1 stroll with an extendable canopy will protect your child from the elements. This is essential for parents who are new, as they'll spend the majority of their time out and about during their early years.
