Redsbaby

A pram carrycot allows your baby to lie completely flat in a safe, snug environment, which is perfect for your newborn’s developing spine. It is recommended that a carrycot is used for newborns up until the age of 6 months old, or when they can roll over or sit up unaided, whichever comes first.

Pram carrycots click in and out of your pram frame, allowing you to transfer your baby indoors while leaving your pram frame outside making a pram carrycot ideal for visiting friends, returning home from walks and supporting undisturbed sleep.

When using a Redsbaby pram, you have two options for your newborn. You can either use the seat in the fully reclined position with the 5-point harness or a compatible pram carrycot.

Both options allow your baby to lie flat, crucial for spinal development, especially for newborns. Choosing the right option depends on your needs and preferences.

A carrycot can be detached from the pram frame and placed on the ground. It is larger, providing more space and allowing you to place your baby directly in the carrycot without the need for a harness. Redsbaby carrycots also fold flat for convenient storage. Generally, carrycots offer more comfort as they do not require the use of a harness.

While both options are safe, we recommend using a carrycot, especially if you use your pram daily as a carrycot provides the optimal environment for your newborn.

Understanding the difference between a pram and a stroller is important as each caters to different lifestyles and needs.

A pram is designed specifically for newborns and infants up to four years old. They allow babies to lie flat when the seat is fully reclined or have a pram carrycot that can be used with the frame. Prams often offer more functionality, including a reversible seat, larger canopies, and baskets. With their focus on providing maximum comfort during walks, prams are typically larger and heavier than strollers.

In contrast, a stroller, sometimes also called a buggy, is used for older babies and toddlers who can sit up. Although some strollers, including the Redsbaby SKIP3 stroller, are suitable for newborns with a lay-flat seat, they generally feature forward-facing seats only. Strollers focus on being ultra-compact, lightweight, and simple. Many are designed for travel, fitting in overhead compartments on planes.

A pram travel system is the combination of a pram and a compatible baby car seat that allows you to secure the baby car seat to your pram using adaptors and then move the baby car seat between your car and pram seamlessly. Without a compatible baby car seat and adaptors, you cannot move your baby car seat between your car and pram.

Using a baby car seat with your pram is ideal for busy parents and parents that are often travelling by car with their baby and want to transition their baby between car and pram with ease and without disturbing them. It supports your baby's safety with features like secure harness systems and ergonomic designs tailored for their early development stages.

It is recommended that you do not leave your baby sleeping in the baby car seat for longer than 2 hours and check on them regularly. For longer sleep periods, a carrycot is recommended as it provides a flat sleep surface.

A travel stroller is a lightweight, compact stroller designed for families on the go. Perfect for holidays, day trips, and quick errands, travel strollers are easy to fold, often fitting into overhead compartments on aeroplanes.

Despite their small size, they offer essential features such as a reclining seat, canopy, and storage basket. Our Redsbaby SKIP3 Stroller is even suitable for newborns with a lay-flat seat, or with its additional newborn carrycot.

Choosing between a double pram and a single pram depends on your family's needs and future plans.

A single pram, like our ONIX and AERON, is ideal if you have one child or plan to have your children spaced several years apart. Single prams are lighter, more compact, and easier to manoeuvre. Most single prams can use a compatible buggyboard which allow an older toddler to stand on the back of the pram.

A double pram like our NUVO2 is beneficial if you have one child and want the flexibility to carry another child in the future (especially if you plan on having children close in age). If you already have one child and are expecting your second, a double pram can accommodate two children in seats (or seat + carrycot/ carrycot+ carrycot) simultaneously, providing convenience for parents managing multiple younger children.

Consider your current family size, future family plans, and daily routines to decide which option suits you best.
