A Guide to Picking the Ideal Pram for Your Parenting Journey

 

Welcome to the world of parenthood, where each decision feels monumental, especially when it comes to choosing the right pram for your little one. At Edwards & Co we understand the unique needs of active parents who crave manoeuvrability, lightweight designs, and those who seek versatility for future family planning. In this guide, we'll help you navigate the decision-making process between two of our full-size prams: the 3-wheel Oscar M2 and the 4-wheel Olive.

The first thing to understand when deciding what pram is right for you is to understand what Oscar and Olive have in common. Whilst they offer different lifestyle benefits, they share a lot of the same DNA.

 

 

Oscar M2 and Olive – what they share:

 

Accessories – Oscar and Olive share the same memory adapters which mean you can connect and use any Edwards & Co M-Series accessories with either pram. From our stylish carry-cot, our Avery Capsule and even our luxe seat liners they will all seamlessly work across both products.

 

Fold – Oscar and Olive both share a single-step fold. In one swift motion, the pram effortlessly collapses into a compact and portable form, streamlining the process of transitioning from strolling to storage.

 

Compact – Both Oscar and Olive have a compact design that makes moving around a breeze. Their space-saving nature makes it a dream for parents with limited storage space. The ability to easily navigate crowded spaces, narrow aisles, and busy streets is a game-changer for parents constantly on the move.
