Choosing a pram can feel confusing — especially when you see terms like single pram, travel stroller, 3-wheel pram, and convertible pram.
So let’s keep it simple.
Here’s a clear breakdown of the main types of prams and who they’re best for.
Single Prams
Single prams are the most common choice for first-time parents.
They’re designed for one child and work well for everyday use — from walks to shopping trips.
Best for:
✔ First-time parents
✔ Everyday use
✔ Simple, all-round option
Convertible Prams (Single to Double)
These prams start as a single but can convert into a double when you have another child.
They’re a great long-term investment if you’re planning to grow your family.
Best for:
✔ Parents planning a second baby
✔ Long-term use
✔ Flexibility
Lightweight & Travel Strollers
Lightweight prams are compact, easy to fold, and perfect for travel.
They’re great for quick outings, holidays, and small car boots.
Best for:
✔ Travel
✔ Small cars
✔ Quick trips
Double Prams
Double prams are designed for two children — either twins or siblings close in age.
They come in two main styles:
- Side-by-side
- Tandem (front and back)
Best for:
✔ Twins
✔ Two young children
✔ Busy families
3-Wheel Prams
3-wheel prams are known for their smooth handling and easy steering.
They’re great for parents who walk often or need something that moves easily.
Best for:
✔ Walking and outdoor use
✔ Easy steering
✔ Active lifestyles
Running Prams
Running prams are designed for active parents who want to jog or run with their baby.
They feature three large wheels, strong suspension, and a lightweight frame for smooth movement at higher speeds.
Best for:
✔ Jogging or running
✔ Smooth handling
✔ Active lifestyles
Travel System Prams
Travel systems allow you to attach a baby capsule directly onto the pram frame.
This makes moving your baby from car to pram quick and easy.
Best for:
✔ Newborns
✔ Car travel convenience
✔ Busy parents
So, Which Pram Should You Choose?
It all comes down to your lifestyle.
Ask yourself:
- Do I need something lightweight?
- Will I have another child soon?
- Do I walk a lot or mostly drive?
There’s no one-size-fits-all — the best pram is the one that fits your daily routine.
