Switching from pram to buggy

Is my baby big enough to sit upright in the stroller? This is a question that many new parents ask themselves during the newborn phase. Your baby grows rapidly in the first few months and before you know it, your little one wants nothing more than to explore the world around him. But when is the best time to switch from a stroller to a buddy? What is the difference between a stroller and a buggy? And when do you switch from a carrycot to a stroller seat? In this blog, you will find answers to all these questions.

Switching from stroller to buggy

One of the big differences between a stroller and a buggy is that a stroller is generally sturdier, heavier and easier to steer than a buggy. This means that a stroller can withstand a knock better, is easy to manoeuvre (even with one hand) and offers your child better back support. A buggy, on the other hand, is generally lighter and smaller, easy to fold, takes up less space and is easier to take with you. Ideal when you are travelling and want to save space or weight. Which one suits your family best therefore depends on your wishes and needs.

The Joolz Aer+ is perfect for in your own city and on your travels. The buggy is super easy to fold and unfold with one hand, lightweight and fits as hand luggage on the plane. The ergonomic seat ensures optimum comfort during long journeys or walks and has a completely flat reclining position in this new version.

From carrycot to stroller seat

Most strollers are 3-in-1 strollers. This means that you can use the stroller with a carrycot, seat unit and car seat. The carrycot and seat unit are usually part of the basic equipment of a stroller. In general, your child will lie in the carrycot, also called the pram body, for the first six months. As long as your child does not touch the bottom of the body with their feet or the top of the body with their head, and is still happy to lie down, there is nothing wrong with using the carrycot for a longer period of time. Often, once children can sit up independently, they prefer to sit upright in the stroller and look around. Some children will be ready for the transition a little earlier or a little later. You will notice for yourself when your little one is ready.

For example, choose the Joolz Geo3 Mono . This is a comfortable, sturdy stroller and is also easy to use. The stroller offers a lot of expansion possibilities, so you can easily exchange the cot for a seat or car seat. You can also easily turn it to determine the direction of travel of your little one yourself.

Connecting a car seat to a stroller or buggy

If you’re considering switching from a pushchair to a buggy, it’s useful to know that many pushchairs offer the option of attaching a car seat to the frame. This is particularly ideal when your baby is too small for the pushchair seat, but you still want flexibility in transport. Using special adapters, you can easily click a car seat onto the pushchair, which is perfect for parents who don’t want to deal with sleeping babies who have to be lifted out of the car seat while on the go. Even if you’re switching to a lighter buggy, there are models that still support this attachment option, which can be useful for short trips. This way, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the mobility of a car seat and the flexibility of a pushchair or buggy.

One of our newest additions is theThule Maple . This car seat offers ultimate comfort and safety for your child, and can be easily clicked onto a stroller. The effortless installation and the possibility to rotate the seat 180 degrees increase the ease of use even further.
