With Christmas fast approaching, it’s time to find the perfect gift for your child. And if a Dolls Pram made their Christmas list this year, then you’re going to want to keep reading! In this article, we outline the various types of dolls prams and provide tips to help you choose the ideal dolls pram for your little one, regardless of their age, gender or size.

Give The Gift Of Imaginative Play

With a dolls pram, you can give the gift of imaginative play this Christmas! Role play is a crucial type of imaginative play that can play a large role in helping your child reach developmental milestones.

Your little one can role-play as their favourite grown-up with their very own dolls pram and accessories. Role-playing in the early years is beneficial as it helps children to develop communication and language skills whilst improving their physical development, including fine and gross motor skills. 

Role-playing in the early years with props and toys such as a dolls pram can also help your child to develop social skills, enabling them to build friendships and navigate new situations. It can also contribute to emotional development, enabling your little one to build self-awareness and self-confidence whilst teaching them to manage emotions.

Types Of Dolls Pram

Dolls prams come in a vast array of styles, shapes, sizes and colours. Some dolls prams are better for smaller children and others are better for older children.

One of the most sought-after types of dolls pram is the traditional carriage-style dolls prams, which usually features a hood and a pram cover as well as a parasol that attaches to the pram. 

Another popular type of dolls pram is a dolls pushchair/stroller, which features a chair rather than a carrycot and two handles as opposed to one. 

Double dolls prams are also available and are the perfect idea for kids who are passionate about caring for not one but two dolls!

There are also dolls travel systems that cleverly mimic the real thing by converting from a carriage-style dolls pram to a pushchair, a carrycot and even a car seat.

Dolls Prams By Age And Size

Dolls prams are suitable for children of all ages with some manufacturers, including Play Like Mum (the Doll’s Pram People), creating dolls prams specifically for older children (up to 12 years old).

The dolls pram you choose this Christmas may well depend on the age of your little one. Younger children, aged 1-3 are often better suited to a dolls pushchair, as these tend to be more lightweight than a carriage style dolls pram. The double handle feature can also help those little ones who are still a little unsteady on their feet.

For older children aged 4+, you can really set their imagination alight with a traditional style carriage dolls pram or even an innovative dolls pram travel set! By this age, they will be able to play with their dolls pram more independently, allowing them to explore their imagination during role play.

For older children or children that are tall for their age, opt for a dolls pram that is height adjustable. Many dolls prams come with height adjustable handles. In addition, choose a high-quality dolls pram that is made from premium materials to ensure it is sturdy enough to withstand the everyday wear and tear that comes with the adventurous imaginative play.
