Style and versatility
The array of products available that are available on the market can be overwhelming. It can be difficult to determine what's available and where each type of product fits in. The biggest distinction between a pram and a pushchair is that a pram provides a lie-flat position, making it suitable for newborns and babies up to around six months.
