For new parents, one of the biggest questions is: Should I buy a pram or a stroller? While both are designed to make life easier, they serve different purposes depending on your baby’s age, lifestyle, and travel needs. Choosing the right one can save you money, ensure your baby’s comfort, and make outings stress-free.
In this guide, we’ll break down the differences between prams and strollers, highlight the pros and cons of each, and help you decide which one is right for your family.
What is a Pram?
A pram (short for perambulator) is designed for newborns and infants up to around 2–3 years.
- Key Features:
- Flat recline or bassinet-style seat (ideal for babies who can’t sit upright).
- Sturdy build with high protection from sun, wind, and dust.
- Often comes with extra accessories like food trays and storage baskets.
👉 Example: The Angels & Mice Panda Pram is perfect for newborns to 3-year-olds. It features a cushioned reclining seat, detachable food tray, and extendable canopy — everything a growing baby needs in the first years.
What is a Stroller?
A stroller is designed for older babies and toddlers (6 months and above) who can sit upright.
- Key Features:
- Upright seating with multiple recline positions.
- Lightweight and easy to fold for travel.
- Compact designs suitable for city use and airplane travel.
👉 Example: The Angels & Mice Travel Cruiser is a lightweight stroller for kids up to 7 years. With a wide seat, big wheels, and one-button fold, it’s perfect for long trips and active toddlers.
