Top Recommended Prams & Travel Systems For Newborns

I’m now 18 weeks pregnant and it’s time to start thinking about what pram / travel system I want to order.

You’re probably thinking I’m mad and wanting to make this decision is extremely premature however, the pram / travel system is the #1 most important item to purchase as early on in the pregnancy as possible and Eurobaby recommend you have this ordered by week 20 of pregnancy.

This is because some prams/ travel systems have really long lead-times, so the sooner you can make your decision and place your order the better.

We briefly touched on prams / travel systems in Episode 1 of my Baby On The Way Series but this week we have dedicated an entire episode to the Top Recommended Prams & Travel Systems For Newborns.

I met with the baby expert that is Angelina over at Eurobaby who is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to anything newborn related so once I arrived we got straight to it and started working our way through the most popular prams & travel systems available at the Eurobaby store and online.

The first brand we looked at was Cosatto.

The last brand we looked at was UPPAbaby.

UPPAbaby was born in 2006 out of necessity and opportunity. It all came together when the Monahans (founders) had their second child but still couldn’t find the right baby gear to fit their needs. They wondered why the only options were either mass-produced and cheaply made or impractical and complicated with lengthy instruction manuals to operate. They were confident other parents wanted more too and, UPPAbaby was born.
