			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who have never heard of the <a href="http://www.adorababy.com/functionality-at-its-finest-the-mountain-buggy-urban/" target="_blank">Mountain Buggy Urban</a>, well, it refers to a type of baby stroller.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-422" title="mountain buggy urban double" src="http://www.adorababy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/mountain_urban_double_designer_college-272x300.jpg" alt="mountain buggy urban double" width="190" height="210" />In the case of a Mountain Buggy Urban <a href="http://mountainbuggy.sycamorekids.com/urban_double.html" target="_blank">Double</a>, you can use it to bring your twins or your babies for a walk anywhere. This type of stroller is somewhat expensive compared to others. However, it is worth the price.</p>
<p>Mountain Buggy Urban is produced by an ISO9002 certified <a href="http://mountainbuggy.sycamorekids.com/history.html" target="_blank">company</a>, which is based in New Zealand. This pram can be easily maneuvered using only hand. You can push it through a standard doorway easily enough in spite of it being a double pram.</p>
<p>If you want to go jogging or simply go walking or shopping, take your babies along with you in the Mountain Buggy Urban Double. Apart from having easy maneuverability on a pavement, you can also use this versatile piece of stroller off the pavements. So, what is the best feature of this pram?</p>
<p>You can customize it according to the way you want. If you buy any of the optional accessories, you can convert the Mountain Buggy Urban to a <a href="http://mountainbuggy.sycamorekids.com/carrycot.html" target="_blank">carrycot</a> of your liking and taste. You have the options to convert it into a twin bassinette, a single or doublewide carrycot. The choice is yours.</p>
<p>Instead of separating your twins in individual compartments, you can also convert it into one large compartment and put both your babies and twins into it. There would be comfort for everyone. Alternatively, you can also use this pram for just one baby.</p>
<p>It does not matter. Your baby would have ample space to move around. In addition, you might be able to keep some baby stuff in the extra space if you wanted to. Of course, there is a single large basket below the seats of the Mountain Buggy Urban Double to put any extra stuff.</p>
<p>The basket has six pockets, two bottle holders and a pouch that can be zipped.</p>
<p>This stroller is advantageous when it comes to country walks where the terrains are much rougher than towns. Therefore, if you live in a rural area, it might be a good idea to consider buying this pram.</p>
<p>You can use it as a jogging stroller or simply as a normal double pram. Another great feature about the Mountain Buggy Urban Double is that it can withstand up to 120 pounds. Therefore, you might be able to use this pram to carry your babies around for a couple of years, right up to four years of age.</p>
<p>On the downside, some women might find this pram to be sort of heavy and bulky. They might find it difficult to carry it and put it into the car. In such a case, you might have to get some assistance from others.</p>
<p>For colors, there are many options. There are lovely <a href="http://mountainbuggy.sycamorekids.com/urban_double.html#bottom" target="_blank">colors</a> like moss green, double sand and double chocolate. This pram also comes with an adjustable handle of sixteen positions. You can adjust it up to a maximum height of 110cm.</p>
<p>Although the Mountain Buggy Urban Double is on the expensive side compared to other similar strollers, it is worth the price in terms of quality and features. So, check it out for yourself. You may fall in love with it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are searching for just the right stroller for you and your baby. A friend mentioned a <strong>pram stroller</strong>.  Not sure exactly what a <a href="http://www.adorababy.com/tips-on-finding-the-right-baby-prams/" target="_blank">baby pram</a> is? The pram stroller resembles a bassinet except it has very tall wheels that are large in size. It is also known as a baby carriage. It is made so that the baby is facing you as you walk.  It has a canopy to protect the baby from the sun as you stroll.  These strollers do not offer the modern day versatility of other types, but some consider the pram stroller to be very elegant.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-343" title="pram stroller" src="http://www.adorababy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pram-stroller-300x300.jpg" alt="pram stroller" width="240" height="240" />Some parents like the pram stroller but traditional prams are for infants only because the baby must lie flat. In addition, this means that the parent has to buy new transport in a few months as the baby outgrows the traditional carriage. Fortunately, there are modern prams that are convertible.  Once the child gets too large to lie flat, you can switch it to an upright stroller.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.prammuseum.com/strollers.html" target="_blank">original</a> pram stroller was created in the 1700s.  A garden architect by the name of William Kent created a basket shaped like a shell and put wheels on it so children would be able to sit and ride in it. The carriage needed to be pulled by a goat or other small animal.  Back then, these were like creations of art.  Mainly the materials used were wicker or wood and had brass joints, which were quite expensive then. It was not unheard of for models to have names of royalty. Pram models had names such as Duchess, Princess, Windsor, and Balmoral.  Queen Victoria even purchased a few during the 1800s.</p>
<p>Long <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_transport#Richardson.E2.80.99s_Patent_Changes_Everything" target="_blank">since then</a>, manufacturers have introduced features that make for a smoother ride for the baby.  They are also more user friendly for the person pushing the carriage.  They are built with more safety standards and have additional accessories such as diaper bags that can attach. Prams generally have big canopy tops and curtains that give extra shielding from the sun. Most modern prams fold making it easier to transport than the traditional prams.  Recently celebrity moms, like Sarah Jessica Parker, have been seen pushing their babies in and around Hollywood in prams.  It seems to be fashionable.</p>
<p>The pram stroller usually works well for the city or suburban lifestyle because of the more even sidewalks. Mothers can easily go for a stroll in the park or other area with ease. They may not be the best option if your terrain is a more rural setting with less pavement and level sidewalks.  Their lack of maneuverability does not typically work in that type of setting.  A pram stroller can have a <a href="http://www.nextag.com/pram-stroller/stores-html" target="_blank">price tag</a> of $200 to well over $1,000.  This makes it an elegant addition to a family&#8217;s baby setting.  Mothers like the fact that they can watch their baby while they walk or if they stop and park.  That is the pram stroller&#8217;s best feature.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can be a very hard task, picking a pram for your newborn. There is so much variety and choice available in <strong>baby prams</strong>, it takes careful consideration. Mother and baby magazines often carry features <a href="http://www.parents.com/baby/gear/strollers/cutting-edge-strollers/?page=1" target="_blank">comparing</a> prams, and all their features and functions, which can be very useful.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-414" title="baby pram" src="http://www.adorababy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Baby-Pram-SP703A-1-279x300.jpg" alt="baby pram" width="195" height="210" />A major point to consider when purchasing a pram is to find one that suits you and your lifestyle. Safety and comfort are obviously top of your priority list but lifestyle will play a big part. Things such as if you own a car, would it fit in the boot? If you have to get public transport are you going to be able to collapse it with one hand and carry it? Will you require a shopping basket underneath?</p>
<p>All of those points you will need to bear in mind when <a href="http://www.nextag.com/baby-prams/compare-html" target="_blank">researching</a> the vast options open to you.</p>
<p>Safety points to remember when looking to purchase baby prams include looking at how stable it is. When hanging bags on the back, if the weight is not evenly distributed, the stroller will tip backwards and could cause serious injury to your child.</p>
<p>The braking system also needs to be taken into consideration. Some have a hand brake combined with a stronger foot brake. Others will only have a foot brake. Whichever type you choose, the brake has to be sturdy enough to prevent the vehicle from rolling if you park it on a hill. Baby prams can hold a larger amount of weight than its own and the baby&#8217;s, including whatever you decide to hang or store under it. The brakes have to be able to cope with this.</p>
<p>Seat belts are an important safety feature as they prevent the infant from slipping out. All newborn baby prams will have a five point harness which goes over the baby&#8217;s shoulders and then across the baby&#8217;s waist. Always strap your child in prior to starting to push the pram, as bumps, steps or slopes can cause your baby to fall out if not strapped in.</p>
<p>The types of wheels on baby prams vary enormously as well. You can have three-wheeled rubber, all-terrain wheels like the <a href="http://www.adorababy.com/functionality-at-its-finest-the-mountain-buggy-urban/" target="_blank">Mountain Buggy Urban</a>, which will enable you to take it across any surface. They generally come with the front wheel being a swivel wheel, which makes maneuvering easier. Other baby prams will have small plastic or hard rubber wheels, which won&#8217;t be suitable across uneven ground, and you may find yourself stuck.</p>
<p>The weight and size of the <a href="http://www.adorababy.com/what-is-a-pram-stroller/" target="_blank">pram stroller</a> when open and collapsed is a crucial factor when deciding on your purchase. Some of the three-wheeler all-terrain baby prams are bulky when open and folded, yet don&#8217;t weigh very much. But these don&#8217;t fit in small car boots. The umbrella-folding baby prams will fold flat and are very narrow. But, deceptively, they can weigh considerably more than the bigger three wheelers. Although, they will fit in all car sizes and some umbrella folding prams are designed to fold to half their size again.</p>
<p>Swivel wheels, whilst making turning corners and sharp maneuvers easier, can go wrong and get the &#8216;supermarket trolley&#8217; syndrome. This is where they do not wheel completely straight anymore and pull off to one side.</p>
