Car Seat

A buggy 2 in 1 in 1, travel system pram comes with a car seat that can be plugged into the stroller. It can also be converted into an infant carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's first years. These prams cost more than standard strollers, but the convenience of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller 2 in 1 car seat in a safe manner and without disturbing them is worth the extra cost.

A modern take on a traditional pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram combination is a favourite for parents. The Vista stroller glides easily, and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it much easier to install than other models. Furthermore, the stroller can be used as a bassinet or in carriage mode and you can alter the seat's direction between forward-facing and rear-facing depending on your preference.

However, most of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. It's important to choose one that is compatible with your vehicle model and can be installed in a safe manner. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to find out whether they provide roadside assistance in case you require assistance with installation or another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that can be attached to a pram frame and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while on the move. It's ideal from birth until the time your baby can sit up without assistance, typically about 6 months. A carrycot is also an ideal alternative to a moses basket or crib and can be used as a travel cot for those away from home. The carrycot on two in one pram-in-one pram for travel typically has a wide, flat base and is designed to accommodate your baby's natural sleeping position, which helps in healthy growth and development.

The majority of 3 in 1 prams combine the pushchair, car seat and a carrycot, so you can pick the most suitable mode of transport for each journey.

These models typically have the option to remove the pushchair so that they can be used as lightweight strollers when your child is old enough to sit straight and face you.

Look out for carrycot accessories like footmuffs and weather shields. There are also tray for both children and parents.

Stroller

If your child can comfortably sit in an infant car-seat and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller could be the best option. Strollers fold easily and are small enough to can be put in the boot of your car. They're spacious enough to store all the necessities for your baby and provide a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet that can be used for napping in the car. The best strollers have the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses, making them an ideal choice for all new parents.

Modern strollers and prams include adaptors that permit you to attach a car capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your sleeping baby without disrupting them. This is a great feature, particularly for parents who are always in motion. It allows them to do essential errands and not needing to disturb their child. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a stroller that is lightweight which can be converted into a carrycot, or a group 0+ child seat.

Real prams are the silvercross-sprung things that Mary Poppins would use on her travels and are an excellent option for walking around town or going on a trip abroad, as they're simple to handle and can carry a large amount of baggage. They are heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to squeeze into a trunk of a car or taxi. However, their comfort and space make them perfect for long walks.
