The terms ‘stroller’ and ‘pram’ are often used interchangeably by many parents, and while they are both devices used to wheel around babies and young children, there are a few differences which distinguish them from each other. Joolz is an award-winning manufacturer of premium baby prams and strollers, carefully designed with style, functionality, and sustainability in mind. Read on to learn about the differences between a pram and a stroller to help you choose the one that best suits your needs.
What is a Pram?
By definition, a baby pram is “a vehicle for moving a baby around that consists of a small bed supported by a frame on four wheels”. Providing a full recline to allow for healthy breathing, as well as the development of the lung and spine, a pram is suited to newborns and babies who have not yet learned to sit upright.
What is a Stroller?
A baby stroller is “a wheeled, often collapsible, chair-like carriage in which small children are pushed”. Designed for toddlers and young children who can sit upright, a typical stroller is not suitable for newborn babies. Additionally, strollers are usually lightweight, easily manoeuvrable, and foldable. They also come with a harness and safety belt.
Convertible Prams/Strollers
Gone are the days where parents need to buy both a pram and a stroller. Convertible strollers are, as the name suggests, convertible, meaning they are suitable from birth right up to around four years of age, and with a few attachments can accommodate multiple children depending on your needs. Convertible strollers allow for a basinet attachment which will comfortably and safely move around a newborn baby with ease, up until they around 6 months of age. Once an infant can sit upright, the basinet can be switched out for a toddler seat which essentially transforms the pram into a typical stroller.
How To Choose a Good Quality, Safe, And Reliable Convertible Pram?
When choosing or comparing a convertible stroller, it’s vital to look for important safety features including a five-point harness system and locking wheels. It should also be easy to manoeuvre, feature a large canopy for excellent UV protection and include all of the additional features you need to suit your lifestyle such as all-terrain wheels or a large storage basket. It’s also important to find a convertible pram that is made from high quality and sustainable materials so that it will last you for years and grow with your family.
