Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The most effective 2 in 1 pram system in 1 travel system prams make it simple to transfer your baby from car to stroller, and then back. Editor-tested and approved, these sets come with an infant car seat that snaps onto a stroller frame to ensure a safe ride for your child.

Note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, that are designed to be used in the car). The age and weight restrictions differ by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 car seat and pram in 1 travel system pram includes a car seat which can be clicked into the stroller. It can also be transformed into the carrycot. This is a one-stop shop for your baby's initial years. These prams cost more than standard strollers, however the convenience of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller with ease and without disturbing them makes it worth the extra price.

The UPPAbaby pram and car combo is a modern version of the traditional pram. It is a popular choice by parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily, and the Mesa car seat can be slid to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it much easier to install than other models. 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 depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combo is a highly-rated product that is ideal for parents who are new. Similar to the Doona it can also be converted into a rolling bassinet or stroller with an adjustable seat that can be positioned to face your child towards the rear or front of the stroller based on their preferences. It's easy to use and can be a great option if you intend to purchase a second car seat for older children because it can accommodate up to two seats.

There are a variety of other options available as well. Many 2 in 1 travel systems include a stroller and car seat that can be used right from the moment of birth. However, the majority of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. The most important thing is to choose a product that can work with your specific car model and that is safe to be installed. Go through the manufacturer's instructions and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also check with your insurance company whether they offer roadside assistance in case you require assistance in installing something or dealing with other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is an easy-to-transport, small cot that can be attached to a frame for a pram. It lets newborns sleep comfortably on the move. It's ideal from birth until the time your baby can sit up without assistance, typically around 6 months. A carrycot is an excellent alternative to a crib or moses basket and can also double as a travel cot for those staying away from home. The carrycot on the 2 in 1 pram that is a travel system typically has a large flat base, and is designed to support your baby's natural sleep position, which helps in healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, such as the doofy Stargazer, are also suitable for overnight sleeping and can be easily collapsed and stored away when not in use.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams are able to combine a pushchair with a car seat or carrycot, allowing you to choose the most suitable mode of transport for your trip. They tend to be bulkier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who prefer the traditional pram style look. These models often have the option to remove the pushchair, so they can be used as lightweight strollers once your child is old enough to sit upright and look at you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that feature a carrycot usually feature a lightweight chassis and fold flat, so they're more compact and easy to fit into smaller vehicles. They also have a range of features that make them more practical, such as large shopping baskets, as well as rain covers.

Check whether the 2 in 1 pram system in 1 travel system with a carrycot you are considering is safe and conforms to the latest European safety standard. For instance, make sure that the carrycot complies with the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the earlier EN 0+:2014+AC:2015, and will become mandatory by June 2024). Also look out for carrycot accessories like footmuffs, weather shields, and tray dishes for both parents and children to help your child feel comfy and secure 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 option. Strollers fold easily and are usually compact enough to can be put in the boot of your car. They're spacious enough to hold all of baby's necessities and offer an enjoyable ride, even on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet for naps on the move. The most reliable strollers come with the most recent safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are a great option for new parents.

Many modern prams and strollers have adaptors that make possible to connect an automobile capsule into the chassis which allows you to move your sleepy baby from car to stroller without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature for parents who are always who are always on the move, as it allows you to complete essential errands without having to wake your child or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a compact stroller which can be converted into a carrycot or group baby seat.

Real prams are silvercross sprung things that Mary Poppins would use when she went on adventures. They're a great choice for walking around town or going on a trip abroad, as they're easy to manage and can hold a huge amount of baggage. They are 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 latest 3 in 1 pram systems are more modern and contemporary design, with frames that shut like an umbrella and a detachable baby seat and/or carrycot. These are able to be used from birth and are generally smaller in size than traditional prams, while the carrycot is converted to a seat that will face your child's face and recline when they're ready. Our range includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a good value choice that comes with an infant car seat, a carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller model of a pram. It is perfect for travel on trains that are packed or when you don't have enough space in your home to store a larger stroller. Most of these convert into pushchairs so that your baby can sleep flat from birth, and some can also convert into a travel system with the inclusion of a car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are among the brands that stock these.

A 3-in-1 travel package includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat. This is the ultimate in convenience. You simply click the coordinating car seat onto the pushchair frame and your baby will have comfortable, peaceful excursions from the time of birth. Once your baby is old enough, you can convert the pram to a stroller and give a modern twist on the classic look. This is perfectly illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It comes with a Carrycot and Infant car seat that is suitable for use from birth.
