Why Choose a 2 in 1 Pushchair?
There are many important purchases that parents to be will need to make before the arrival of their baby. However, one of the most important and one of the most expensive is what will be used to transport the baby in when they go out shopping. There are many kinds of prams, pushchairs and strollers to choose and this can leave them feeling somewhat confused. In this article we discuss the advantages of 2-in-1 pushchairs over the types available today.
The first thing that parents to be should be aware of with regards to these types of pushchairs is that the part in which the baby travels can be easily converted from a pram into a pushchair. With these types of pushchairs the manufacturer also provides a hood and apron to ensure that when the baby is travelling in it they remain safe and secure.
So for what reasons should parents to be consider purchasing this type of pushchair instead of the 3-in-1 kind or a traditional pram? In this article we look at some of the advantages to parents of purchasing this type of pushchair.
Advantage 1 – These are designed not only for use with new born babies but for children up to the age of 3 years. In most cases children once they get to the age of 3 prefer not to be strapped in to a pushchair or stroller but prefer to move around by themselves.
Advantage 2 ” The whole major section of the pushchair in which the child will be travelling can be removed from the chassis and comes with handles so during the first few weeks the parents can use it as a carry cot.
Advantage 3 ” During the first few weeks a baby will spend quite a considerable amount of time sleeping and because this pushchair can be placed in a fully reclined position it allows them to sleep when they want. However, as the baby grows older and becomes more aware of its surrounding and finds it easier to sit up the carriage part can be put into the upright position when required, but then reclined when the child becomes sleepy.
Advantage 4 ” The biggest advantage to be had from buying one of these pushchairs is the cost. In most cases these are a much more economical purchase than the 3-in-1 pushchairs. Yes they look great but having to take off the carrycot to put on the car seat or pushchair part can prove very time consuming.
Advantage 5 ” As the carrycot and pushchair convert easily from one to the other this type of pushchair incorporates a safety harness. Which the child will wear when they are sat upright in it or can be used when the baby is laying down. To prevent the harness hurting the child when lying down these types of pushchairs come with additional padding.
Above we have looked at a few of the advantages of 2-in-1 pushchairs in relation to other types of pushchairs, prams and strollers available. However, although these are perfect for keeping the baby or child safe when out shopping they will need to buy a good quality car seat from when the child is in a vehicle.
As you can see there are a range of things to think about when looking to by pushchairs as well as any product that is for your child. There are many safety aspects to bear in mind, we’ve also put together a guide to 3 in 1 pushchairs which should help you in making a decision on what pushchair you require.
