Watching your little one grow is a beautiful journey, filled with exciting milestones. One of those special moments is transitioning from a cozy bassinet to a toddler seat—giving them a whole new view of the world! But when is the right time to make the switch? While six months is often suggested, every baby develops at their own pace. Recognizing the signs that your baby is ready will help you make this transition smoothly, ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and happy on every stroll.
KEY INDICATORS
You should consider moving your baby to a toddler seat if they:
- Have outgrown the bassinet’s safety-rated weight range (typically 9KG) or age range (usually up to 12 months).
- Can roll over independently or sit up unassisted—once your baby reaches this stage, a harness will be needed to keep them secure.
- Have developed strong enough neck muscles to support themselves in an upright position for longer periods.
WHY THIS TRANSITION MATTERS
Moving your baby to a toddler seat provides important developmental benefits, including:
- Core Strength Development - Sitting up in the toddler seat helps strengthen their muscles, preparing them for crawling and walking.
-
Cognitive Sensory Growth - With an elevated seating position, your baby can engage more with their surroundings, encouraging curiosity and learning.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PRAM FOR A SMOOTH TRANSITION
From your baby’s first naps to their exciting toddler adventures, selecting a pram that supports both bassinet and toddler seat configurations is key. Here are some top choices:
- GENEVA Pram, MILAN² Pram, and YORK² Pram - Each comes with a full-size hard bassinet for newborn comfort and seamlessly transitions to a toddler seat
- LISBON Pram - Features a hard-based collapsible bassinet, making it ideal for compact storage.
- LYON Stroller - Comes with a soft bassinet

FINAL THOUGHTS
Watching your little one grow and reach new milestones is a heartwarming experience. Every baby develops at their own pace, so trust your instincts and look for the signs that they’re ready to sit up and take in the world around them. The right pram will not only keep them comfortable but also support their journey from snug newborn naps to curious toddler adventures.
