Please take note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seat 2 in 1 stroller seats (not extended-use car seating, which is designed to stay in the vehicle). The weight and age restrictions differ by product.

Car Seat

A 2-in-1 travel system pram has car seats that can be plugged into the stroller. It can also be transformed into the carrycot. This is a one-stop shop for your baby's early years. They tend to be more expensive than standard strollers, however the ease and security of moving your infant from the car to the stroller without disturbing them is well worth the extra cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combination offers a modern twist on the traditional pram. It is a favourite among parents. The Vista stroller is smooth and easy to maneuver, and the Mesa infant car seat clip easily into your vehicle via UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it simpler than other models to install. Furthermore, the stroller can be used as a bassinet or in carriage mode, and you can switch the orientation of the seat to forward-facing or rear-facing based on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is an additional highly rated product for new parents. Like the Doona it can also be converted into a rolling bassinet, or stroller with the option of reclining seats that face your child from the front or back of the stroller, based on their preference. It's simple to use and can be an excellent option if you are planning to purchase an additional car seat for older children because it can accommodate two seats.

There are many other options available, too. Many 2 in 1 travel systems come with an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used from birth. However, the majority of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers 2 in 1. The important thing is to get a quality product that works with your specific car model and is safe to be installed. Review the manufacturer's guidelines and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to inquire whether they provide roadside assistance in case you need help in a installation or any other issue.

Carrycot

Carrycots are a simple to transport, small crib that can be connected to a frame for a pram. It lets newborns sleep in comfort while on the go. It is a great option to use from birth up until your baby can sit up without assistance, which is typically about six months. A carrycot can also be an ideal alternative to a moses basket or crib and can double up as a travel cot when staying away from home. The carrycot that comes with the 2 in 1 travel system pram typically has a large flat base that is designed to help your baby's natural sleeping position which promotes healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots such as the adorable Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleeping and can be easily folded and stored when not being used.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination pram systems combine a pushchair, car seat and carrycot so you can pick the most suitable method of transport for every journey. These are bulkier than the 2 in 1 pushchair and car seat in 1 models and could be preferred by parents who prefer a traditional pram design. These models typically come with the option of removing the pushchair unit so that they can be used as strollers that are lightweight once your child is old enough to sit up straight and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots usually feature a lightweight chassis and fold flat, which makes them more compact and easy 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.

Make sure whether the 2 in 1 travel system and the carrycot you are thinking of is suitable and complies with the most recent European safety standard. For instance, make sure that the carrycot is compliant with the new EN1466:2023 standard. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC:2015, which will be mandatory in June 2024. Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot like weather shields and footmuffs. Also, you can find tray for both children and parents.

Stroller

A stroller is a great option for babies who are capable of sitting in a car seat that is for infants and is now ready to start walking independently. Strollers are easy to fold and are usually compact enough to fit in the boot of your car. They have ample storage space to allow for all of your baby's necessities and will also offer an enjoyable ride for your child, even on rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet for naps on the move. The best 2 in 1 car seat stroller strollers have the latest safety features like 5-point harnesses, making them the ideal option for parents who are just starting out.

Many modern prams and strollers have adaptors that make possible to connect the car capsule into the chassis and allow you to move your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair without disrupting them. This is a great feature for parents who are always on the go, since it lets you complete essential errands without having to wake your baby or risk removing them from the vehicle. The Doona travel system stroller is an excellent example of this; a lightweight and compact stroller that can transform into a comfortable carrycot and car seat for groups 0+ which makes it the ideal option for busy parents who are always on the move.

They're easy to carry and can carry a large 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 ease of use and spaciousness make them ideal for long walks.

Our choice includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is a great option that comes with an infant car seat and a carryingcot as well as the pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is like the traditional pram, but it folds much smaller and is perfect for traveling on trains that are busy or in the event that your home doesn't have room for a full-size pram. Some of these can be converted into pushchairs, which means that your baby can sleep flat from birth. Others can be transformed into a travel system by adding a car seat. Some of the brands that carry these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel system bundle includes a carrycot, a pushchair and car seat for maximum convenience.
