Pushchair and Prams

Small Smart provides Prams that are designed for your newborns.

A whole new universe full of unfamiliar terms and alternatives might be encountered when diving into the realm of baby gear. The selection of prams and pushchairs is one of the most contentious issues among new parents and carers. Although they could all seem the same from a distance, they are all very different and unique in terms of how they work.

To make the best choice for your kid requires the knowledge of Pram and pushchair functions and the difference between a pushchair and pram. We will go over each of these baby carriage alternatives in detail in this post to help you make a decision and to dispel any confusion.

Prams: The Timeless Choice for Infants

Prams are a popular choice for parents who welcome a newborn because they are like the adorable version of vintage baby carriages.

The shape provided in prams is a level sleeping space that gives the infant the cosy security of a crib. For infants, this horizontal position is important because it gives the spine the support it needs during those critical early months when skeletal growth is at its most advanced. Prams and Pushchairs are ideal for your baby’s naps while you are outside with your baby and those relaxed park walks.

Features of a Pram:

• Age Suitability: Newborns up to roughly six months old are the best candidates.
• Design: A level sleeping surface that supports healthy spine function and sound sleep.
• Protection: Usually built with high sides to protect your child from the weather.
• Mobility: Compared to more contemporary solutions, it is typically heavier and bulkier.

Types of Baby Prams and Pushchairs

Baby Pushchair

Baby pushchairs are frequently the first option when it comes to newborns and infants. With their smooth reclining surface, they provide the ideal environment for your child to sleep or simply relax. In contrast to standard baby pushchairs, prams are better suited for longer outings and can occasionally be converted into pram pushchairs when your child gets older. This is a feature-rich choice designed for your child's early years.

Convertible Pushchairs

These pushchairs for babies are the most versatile option for expanding families. We have made these pushchairs to grow with your child.

Features of Prams and Pushchairs

Depending on the model and type, pushchairs and prams have different weight capacities. Your developing youngster will have plenty of space in most conventional pushchairs and baby prams, which can comfortably accommodate up to 15-20 kg.
