Best Prams For Toddlers
When it comes to choosing a pram, many parents are looking to purchase one that will suit their family's needs in the future. One option is to go for an infant travel system that transforms from a'pramette' lying flat for newborns into an infant pushchair that is suitable for toddlers.
Silver Cross Wave wheels are an elite set that offers this. It is compatible with an infant car seat or carrycot and comes with 30 different seating options.
1. Stokke Xplory X
The Xplory X is the newest model from a company that prides itself on its innovative Scandinavian design. It's designed to keep your baby close to you while you are out and about, increasing that important connection. It also has an adjustable height of the seat, which means your baby can face you and enjoy eye contact in a variety of positions or sit higher up to view the world and interact with you from a greater vantage point.
This stroller is a top option for parents looking for the best quality and function without cutting corners on style or security. With a range of colors that appear to be straight from the runway and high-end quality of the details from top to bottom this stroller will satisfy all.
It's easy to maneuver and has lockable 360 degree wheel swivels, which can aid in maneuvering around tight spaces. This pram can even be driven by one hand, which is perfect when your hands are full. It's also very adaptable and is able to be transformed into a travel system with the carry cot option or car seat adaptors which are sold separately.
The Xplory X may be expensive (around PS845) however, it's worth it for its unique design, which draws your baby closer to you when you are out and about. The ability to change the seat from parent to world-facing provides your child with a an entirely new perspective, and can help boost learning and development. It can be challenging to move around when the seat is facing the world. You may have to lift the handlebar to take your child from an eating area to a table. You can also buy additional accessories such as a foot muff and a rain cover for this pram.
2. Graco Air
The Graco Air folds up with one hand, and is auto-locking and can stand on its own. A handy handle is placed underneath the seat. The seat has a tightly knitted smooth canvas, with rougher, more durable material on the sides. The window that peeks out is made of the same rough material. The storage bin is huge but can't fit our medium diaper bag because of a bar that is in the opening. The parent console has 2 cup holders of average depth. The child cup holder can be used to store some baby bottles and infant bottles, as well as sippy cups that are slim.
3. Joie Versatrax
The Joie Versatrax is a pram that has been designed with both parents and babies in mind. The pushchair is sturdy and high-quality and is able to be folded for easy storage. This means it takes less space than traditional prams. This is particularly important if you are living in a tiny space, such as an apartment or home, as it means that the pushchair can fit easily into your space.
The Versatrax is a versatile 4in1 stroller that can be modified to the changing requirements of your child. It is compatible with a carry cot and infant carrier, allowing you to create an ideal travel system from birth. The adapters that clip on your car seat to hold it or the Joie Ramble xl Carry Cot (carrier and Carry Cot sold separately) can be used to accomplish this.
One of the unique features of the stroller is that it can rock the baby's seat to ensure a comfortable ride. It also features a reclining seat and adjustable footrests to ensure maximum comfort. The Versatrax also features a spacious shopping basket and a canopy that can be extended that protects you from the sun.
The Joie Versatrax can be used from birth and features an easy fold mechanism with one hand for convenient storage. It also features a height-adjustable handlebar so that it is simple to use by different users. The wheels are made of durable rubber and filled with foam tyres. This makes it simple to use on any terrain and provide a smooth ride for your infant. This is an excellent option for families looking for a reliable, high-quality pram that can be adapted to their child. It is also compatible with the Joie iSnug 2, a car seat that can be used as the travel system.
4. Uppababy Vista
The UPPAbaby Vista is one of the best strollers available on the market. It has been a well-loved stroller since its introduction in 2006, and is one the most elegant and sturdy strollers. It can expand from a single to double stroller by adding adapters and can also accommodate a third child via the PiggyBack ride along board.
The Vista is simple to assemble and fold up, making it a great choice for parents with limited time or who want to get out the door quickly. It is also easy to use, and offers a comfortable ride for your child. The seat is well-padded and provides plenty of head and leg space. The canopy is also big and provides adequate protection from the sun.
The Vista's capability to convert into an infant bassinet is a further feature that makes it a great stroller. This creates a space that is comfortable and cozy for babies. The bassinet is able to be attached to the stroller frame, and used either on a flat surface or in an upright position.
This stroller is compatible with a wide variety of car seats, including the Chicco Keyfit 30, Cybex Aviano, and Maxi-Cosi. It does not come with upper or lower car seats adapters, but these are available separately for the majority of configurations.
UPPAbaby has made some updates to its Vista model for 2018. The fabric is now more robust, and the mattress has been extended to offer more comfort. The canopy is still large and has medium peek-a-boo windows that provide some shade. The bassinet is equipped with an enclosed panel with zippers that extends the bassinet to give protection against the sun. The large basket of the Vista is another attribute that is appealing to many families.
5. Bugaboo Donkey
The Bugaboo Donkey double stroller is an exceptional product with a variety of interesting features. It is one the most versatile strollers available and can be configured in three different ways. It can be used in three different configurations such as a twin with a bassinet or a triple with a comfort wheeled board. It can be used with a wide range of infant car seats including those from Chicco Nuna and Maxi-Cosi.
The Donkey is a chic chassis with large wheels, a beautiful fabric and frame. It has a stunning peekaboo window on the canopy, and a large well-designed basket that has plenty of space. It is easy to push with its great telescoping handlebar that allows you to adjust it for height. My husband, who is 6'1, was capable of pushing it effortlessly.
The Donkey has its own set of issues. It bumps into doors and is bigger than the majority of its rivals. The shade of the canopy can cause irritation to passengers by rubbing and getting caught on things like handrails. When you recline, it may be difficult to move the seat. It is also a bit expensive.
The most recent version, Donkey 5, is even better. One of them is that the release buttons are now on the front for a much more compact fold. It now comes with a Graphite frame (dark gray) that matches beautifully with the new fabric colors as well as sun canopy colors. And finally, it now includes built-in attachment points to the comfort wheeled boards and cup holder to eliminate the necessity of adapters. Overall, here it's an excellent pram that does have some issues, but it has many other awesome features to outweigh them.
