Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The most efficient 2 in 1 travel system prams let you easily switch your child between a car and a stroller. These sets have been evaluated by editors and endorsed. They include an infant seat that snaps into the matching stroller frame for an easy ride.

Please take note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seating, which is designed to stay in the vehicle). Weight and age limits differ according to the product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 pushchair and car seat in 1 travel system pram comes with an infant car seat that snaps into the stroller. It can also transform into a carrycot, making it a one-stop shop for your baby's initial years. These prams cost more than standard strollers. However, the ease of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller with ease and without disrupting them is worth the extra cost.

The UPPAbaby pram and car combo offers a modern twist on the traditional pram. It is a popular choice by parents. The Vista stroller is smooth and easy to maneuver, and the Mesa infant car seat is clipped effortlessly into your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it simpler than other models to install. The stroller can be used in carriage mode or as a bassinet. You can also switch the orientation of your seat from forward-facing to rear-facing according to your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is a highly rated option for new parents. It can be transformed to a rolling stroller or bassinet and the reclining seats can be positioned to face your child in either direction, based on the child's preference. It is easy to use, and can accommodate two car seats.

There are many alternatives available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems come with an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used from birth. However, most of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. The most important thing is to choose a product that can work with your particular car model and is safe to be installed. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website as well as the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to inquire whether they provide roadside assistance if you require assistance in a installation or any other problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pram and allows infants to rest comfortably while out and about. It is ideal to use from birth up until your baby is able to stand up on their own without assistance, which usually occurs at around six months. A carrycot can also be a great alternative to the moses basket or crib and can be used as a 2in1 travel system cot if you are you are away from home. The carrycot on the 2 in 1 travel system pram typically has a wide flat base, and is designed to support your baby's natural sleeping position, which helps in healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots such as the didofy Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleeping and can be easily folded and stored when they are not being used.

The majority of 3 in 1 prams combine the pushchair, car seat and a carrycot, so you can choose the right mode of transport for each journey. They tend to be heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and can be preferred by parents who like the classic look of a pram. Many of these models also have the facility to remove the pushchair seat unit, so you can make it a lighter stroller once your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams with a carrycot usually come with a light chassis and fold flat, which makes them smaller and easier to fit into smaller vehicles. They also come with a range of features that make them more practical including large shopping baskets, as well as rain covers.

Verify that the 2 in 1 travel system with a carrycot that you are considering is safe and conforms to the latest European safety standard. For example, check whether the carrycot is compliant with the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the old EN 0+:2014+AC:2015, and will become mandatory by June 2024). Also, look out for accessories such as footmuffs, weather shields, and tray for the child and parent to help your child feel safe and comfortable while they sleep in their cot.

Stroller

If your baby is able to comfortably sit in a car seat for infants and is able to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best choice. Strollers are easy to fold, are compact and often can be tucked away in the trunk of your car. They are spacious enough to accommodate all of your baby's needs. They also provide the most comfortable ride for your child even over rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet to allow for napping on the move. The best strollers are equipped with the latest safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for those who are new parents.

Modern prams and strollers include adaptors that permit you to connect a car capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your sleeping baby without disrupting them. This is a great feature for busy parents on the go, since it allows you to run essential errands without having to wake your baby or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a stroller that is lightweight that can be converted into a carrycot, or a group baby seat.

Real prams are the silvercross-sprung items that Mary Poppins used to take when she went on adventures. They're a great choice for walking around town or traveling abroad, as they're simple to operate and can carry a significant amount of luggage. They're heavy and difficult to transport and they can be difficult to fit into a small trunk or taxi. However, their comfort and space make them perfect for long walks.

The newest 3 in 1 prams come with an updated and modern design. They come with a frame that folds up like an umbrella, and also a convertible baby seat or carrycot that can be removed. These are able to be used from birth and are generally smaller in size than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot can be transformed into an infant seat that can face your child's face and recline when they're ready. Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a great value option that includes an infant car seat, a carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller version of the pram. It is ideal for travel on trains that are packed or if you don't have the space to store a larger stroller. Most of these convert into pushchairs so that your child can lay flat from birth, and some can also be converted into a travel set-up with the inclusion of car seats. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are some of the brands who stock these.

A 3-in-1 travel package includes a carrycot, pushchair and car seat. This is the most convenient way to travel. You simply click the coordinating car seat onto the frame of the pushchair, and your baby will have easy, relaxing excursions from the time of birth. Then, you can switch to a stroller when your baby is in the right place, and you'll have an eye-catching modern version of the traditional pram look. The Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System bundle is a great illustration of this. It comes complete with a Carrycot and Infant car seat that is suitable for use starting from the time of birth.
