The pram with car seats also known as a travel system, is one of the most popular baby strollers. It allows you to seamlessly move your baby from car to stroller without disturbing them awake.

Parent Face

Newborn babies require a pram with a carrycot which offers a safe place for them to sleep while out and is in the position of the parent facing. This allows them to gaze at you when they travel, and makes it easier for you to respond in the event that they get up or require additional reassurance.

Many parents prefer to keep their children facing them as they grow older. They choose strollers that have a convertible car-seat so that when they're out and about, they will still see them. This creates a sense of peace for parents as well as their infant and is an excellent way to promote bonding and support your child's development in the cognitive realm.

When your baby is facing you in the pushchair, they will look at you, and mirror you. This is a vital aspect of their language development. They also hear your voice and learn about the world around them through your reactions and conversations, which further supports their emotional and social development.

However, a recent study found that children who are in front-facing buggies cry more than those who are in the rear of the buggies. This could be because children who face forward in buggies could be overwhelmed by sensory stimulation and stress which can trigger crying. Children in buggys with parents on the other hand can be more relaxed and tend to talk on their own accord.

Face-to-face with your baby can help with their ability to recognize faces and is a good way to build up their balance as they learn to navigate the buggy. It also helps reduce anxiety over separation because your child can look at you for comfort and assurance when they are upset or anxious. Children who ride in buggies that face towards the front can also experience this. This is especially when they are captivated by the sounds and sights in their environment. It can be difficult to change their perspective in just a few seconds. This is because it requires them to twist their body in a manner that they may not be used to, which can cause discomfort and irritation.

Ergonomic Supports

To allow the baby to feel at ease in the pram seat the baby needs a sufficient head and neck support. Some designers have included attachments that provide this feature in their strollers. One model, as illustrated in Figure (c) includes an option that allows the seat's back to be reclined into an infant stroller. This is accomplished by pivoting a handle which is attached to the back and front wheels. The back wheels then collapse to meet the handle.

Another design is a headguard that is attached to the seat and stops the child's head from extending too far in case of a frontal collision. This design is suitable for older children because the support's inner and outer can be adjusted to suit the shape of the head.

Doona Side Impact Protector Add-On is a state-of-the art device available for baby strollers. This attachment can be attached magnetically to the Doona infant insert, and will ensure that your infant is in a comfortable and ergonomic position. This is achieved by a near-flat ergonomic design that enhances the lower and upper back. The add-on also has soft cushions to cushion the impact in the event of an accident.

Padded Seats

A cushioned seat is a must for a good car seat and pram. This will ensure that your child is comfortable throughout long journeys. A seat with padding helps your baby to improve their posture and reduces the chance of neck strains or positional torticollis.

You may also consider a car-seat that has an 'lie-flat' feature. This feature is especially sought-after by parents since it allows your baby to rest throughout the journey without the need to wake them up in order to change their seat. The lie-flat mode is also excellent to improve your baby's air circulation as it helps to avoid overheating.

Typically infant car seats accommodate infants up to two years old, depending on the limits set by the manufacturer. When they reach this age it is possible to move them to a convertible car.

It is also important to ensure that the car seat has a sturdy base and has visual indicators for simple, error-free installation.

For example the egg Shell comes with a padded side-impact protection shell and memory foam headrests that reduce the impact force transferred to your child in the event of a collision. It also features an adjustable leg bar that can be extended and a rebound bar to ensure stability, and visual indicators to confirm the correct installation of the seat. The seat can also be used with any egg Multi Car Seat Adaptors and the vehicle seatbelt (ECE R44/04) to ensure even greater security.

It can be a great and engaging way to help them keep up with mum and dad and makes moving around easier so you can actually get to your destination on time rather than at a the pace of a toddler.

Other accessories for your pram that go with a car seat can include a footmuff, which is perfect for keeping your baby warm and snug in winter as well as changing bags that have lots of room for wipes, nappies and clothing. It's a good idea select a model with a changing mat can be removed to double as an area to wipe clean. Many models have an area to store your keys or mobile phone, so you don't have to worry about them being lost on the go.

Travel toys are a must for any pram. You can take your favorite toys along to entertain and distract your toddler when you go out. You can also wrap a smaller spiral toy around the handles and hang a teddy over the handle bars. This will give your child an established face.
