By James A Mason

For those couples who are shortly expecting the arrival of baby there are several major items that they will need to purchase before the baby arrives. Of all the items that need to be brought one of the most important and one of the most expensive is a pram or pushchair. As they soon discover there are many different kinds of prams and pushchairs to select from so finding one that is suitable can prove challenge. To help them with their decision in this article we look at the advantages of 2-in-1 pushchairs.

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 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 " A baby during the first few weeks after being born will spend quite a large amount of time sleeping and this pushchair has the facility to be placed into a fully reclined positioned. This means that as soon as the parent notices the child falling asleep in the upright position pressing a number of buttons will allow them to recline tit without disturbing them too much. However, it also means the pushchair can be raised when the child is awake and wants to see what is happening.

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. - 30443
