By James A Mason

For any parents to be there are a number of important purchases that they will to make prior to the arrival of the new addition to their family. Of all the purchases that they will make one of the most important and most expensive is the pram or pushchair. As there are so many different ones to choose from finding one that is perfect for them can prove a challenge. In this article we look at the advantages of 2-in-1 pushchairs over say the more traditional pram or a 3-in-1 pushchair.

The first thing that parents to be will notice with this type of pushchair is that the part in which the baby will travel can be easily converted from a pram into a pushchair just through the pressing of a number of buttons or levers. Plus to further ensure that the baby is kept safe and secure when travelling in this kind of pushchair the makers provide a fabric apron and hood.

So why should parents consider purchasing this particular type of pushchair rather than say a 3-in-1 pushchair or a more traditional pram? Below we look at the advantages of parents to be of getting this type over the others.

Advantage 1 " These pushchairs are suitable for using immediately after a baby has been born and until they reach the age of around 3. Normally by the age of 3 most children have outgrown sitting in a pushchair or stroller and prefer to be walking around by themselves.

Advantage 2 " The main part of these pushchairs in which the child is travelling can be removed from the chassis easily and comes with handles on the side so that during the baby's first few weeks it can be used as a carrycot.

Advantage 3 - Generally during the first few weeks after their birth babies tend to spend considerable amounts of time sleeping. This pushchair has the facility to be placed in an upright or reclined position through the pressing of certain buttons. So parents can easily alter the position to one that is comfortable for the baby when sleeping and will not disturb them when they are doing it. Yet as soon as the baby is awake the parents can then put it into the upright position once more so that the baby can have a better view of things around them.

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- Unlike some of the other pushchairs available today you will find that this type due to it converting from a carrycot into a pushchair has a safety harness incorporated into the design. Although this is mainly used when the pushchair is in the upright position it can also be used to keep the baby secure when they are lying down. To ensure that the harness does not hurt the baby additional padding is provided.

In this article we have shown you some of the advantages of 2-in-1 pushchairs and which may help you to make a more informed decision as what will the be right sort of pram or pushchair for your child. But don't forget these one's don't come with a car seat and so when the child needs to go in a vehicle you must ensure that you use a good quality one of these. - 30224
