Baby Carriage

Parents who are first-time parents may be faced with a difficult task of choosing the right baby transportation. Terms like buggy, pram and pushchair get thrown around frequently, and it's often unclear what the difference is between them.

Historically, the term pram was used to describe any wheeled vehicle used for carrying children. They ranged from hand-held baskets to huge, ornately decorated carriages pulled by a draft animal or humans. The prams were often designed to look like shells and came with a hood and handlebar. In the 19th century, improvements were made to prams to ensure they were safe for children and their caregivers. This included adding a brake model, models that folded, and designs for parasols.

The modern stroller is the flexibility and practical alternative to the traditional pram. It comes with a huge deep bassinet, a carrycot and a comfortable child's seat that can be adjusted to recline. Many prams can be converted into pushchairs by using the same chassis, which includes an additional car seat, carrycot or bassinet.

As babies grow older they are able to switch from a pram to strollers. The difference isn't any significant, but the fact that pushchairs are designed towards older children can make them suitable for longer walks or travel. They come with a more spacious seat that can be positioned both towards the parent to bond and away from them to explore the surroundings. A majority of pushchairs have an umbrella, storage basket and handlebars that can be adjusted to meet the needs of an expanding baby.

Convertible

A convertible pram is a stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller by adding a seat. It's an excellent option for parents who plan on having a second child or already have an additional child to their family.

Some convertible strollers are able to adapt to accommodate as many as 24 different seating arrangements and allow parents to select between having one child in the bassinet and another in the car seat or in reverse, having both seats facing forward and one backward or even three children (with a ride-along board). The main drawback of this kind of stroller is that it is heavier than other types, since it needs to be able to support two seats and their associated weight.
