At Little Peas, we strive to simplify the process of selecting a pram for your child. We’ve been in this business for 16 years and our experts are here to help every step of the way.
When many expectant parents come into Little Peas for the first time, they’ll often say something to the effect of; “We’re first-time parents, and we have no idea where to start”. We’ll often show them the basics of prams, just in general. Ultimately, while there are many different brands, shapes, sizes and styles; in short, they all do the same thing – get baby from A to B.
Most people will want to opt for a travel system (sometimes referred to as a 3-in-1 system); this would typically comprise of:
When you’re using the system in a typical style, you’ll start off by using the chassis (from the stroller) in conjunction with the carrycot. In this combination, it’s what most people would look at, and refer to as a pram. You’ll use this from birth, and on average, to around 6 months. From 6 months onward, you’ll likely use the pushchair seat unit on the chassis, normally (where applicable) with the seat unit in a parent-facing position. As the child grows and becomes more curious, it’s quite typical that you’ll turn the seat unit around to face outward. The stroller/pushchair part is generally going to have the capacity and ability to be used until the point when you no longer need to push the child. However, you may (at some point) opt to downsize to a more compact buggy, depending on your needs.
When traveling in a car, your baby must be kept in a car seat. For a newborn, they’d typically be traveling in an infant carrier, which would fit in the car in a rearward-facing direction. The infant carrier will be used from birth and will last until the baby is around 1-1.5 years. With the use of car seat adaptors, you can usually fit the infant carrier onto the chassis of the stroller, to add convenience for shorter periods of use/travel.

There are several types, including standard prams for daily use, travel systems that integrate car seats, jogging prams for active parents, and double prams for twins or siblings.
Consider your environment (urban vs. rural), travel habits, and daily routine. For city living, opt for lightweight and compact prams. For rough terrains, choose one with good suspension.
Pram prices vary widely. Set a budget considering both initial costs and long-term use. High-end models may have better resale value and durability.
Yes, many prams have features suitable for newborns, like fully reclining seats or compatibility with a carrycot or infant car seat.
It’s advisable to visit a store to test the pram’s maneuverability, folding mechanism, and comfort for your baby. This hands-on experience can be invaluable.
The weight is crucial, especially if you’ll be lifting it frequently into cars or carrying it up stairs. Lightweight models offer more convenience.
Look for adjustable handles, ample storage, weather protection (like rain covers), and ease of folding. These features add to the comfort and practicality of using the pram.
Regularly check for wear and tear, clean the fabrics according to manufacturer instructions, and ensure all moving parts are functioning smoothly. This prolongs the pram’s lifespan.
