Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The most effective 2 in 1 travel system prams let you effortlessly transition your baby between the stroller and a car. These sets are editor-tested and endorsed. They come with a baby seat that snaps onto the stroller frame to ensure 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). Limits on weight and age vary depending on the model.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram includes car seats that can be plugged into the stroller and can also transform into a carrycot, making it an all-in-one solution for your baby's initial years. These prams cost more than standard strollers, however the ease of transferring your child from the car to the stroller in a safe manner and without causing any disturbance to them is worth the extra price.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combo is a modern version of the traditional pram. It is a favorite by parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily and the Mesa car seat clips into your vehicle with UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it simpler to install than other models. Additionally, the stroller can be used as a bassinet, or in carriage mode and you can alter the seat's direction between rear-facing and forward-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is an additional highly rated choice for parents who are just starting out. Similar to the Doona it can also be converted into a rolling bassinet, or stroller with a reclining seat that can be positioned to face your child towards the front or back of the stroller based on their preferences. It's easy to use and can be a great option if you plan on buying a second car seat for older siblings since it can fit two seats.

There are many alternatives available as well. A majority of 2 in 1 travel systems prams include a baby car seat and stroller that can be used from birth, but the majority of car seats don't work with all strollers, which is why it's essential to conduct your research before purchasing. The important thing is to choose a product that can work with your specific car model and that can be safely installed. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website as well as the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also inquire with your insurance company if it offers roadside assistance if you need assistance in installing something or addressing another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a convenient to transport small cot that can be attached to a frame for a pram. It allows newborns to sleep comfortably on the move. It's ideal for use from birth until your child is able to sit up unassisted, usually around 6 months. A carrycot can also be used as an alternative to a crib or a moses basket. It can also double up as a bed to use when you're away from home. The carrycot on a 2 in 1 pram for travel typically has a wide flat base, and is designed to support your baby's natural sleep position, which promotes healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, like the didofy Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleep and can be easily folded and stored when they are not being used.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams combine the pushchair with a car seat or carrycot, which means you can choose the most suitable mode of transport for your trip. They are generally heavier than their 2 in 1 bassinet stroller in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who prefer the traditional pram and pushchair 2 in 1 style look. Many of these models also offer the ability to remove the seat for the 2in1 pushchair, so you can use it as a lightweight stroller once your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that feature a carrycot usually have a lightweight 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 and rain covers.

When you are shopping for a 2- in 1 travel system pram and a carrycot, ensure that the product you are contemplating is suitable for your child and conforms to the latest European safety standards. For instance, make sure that the carrycot is compliant with the new EN1466:2023 standard. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC:2015 and will become mandatory in June 2024. Also look out for carrycot accessories like footmuffs, weather shields and parent and child trays to help your little one feel comfortable and secure when they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

If your child can comfortably sit in a car seat for infants and is able to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best option. Strollers can be folded easily, are compact and often can be tucked away in the trunk of your car. They come with plenty of storage space to allow for all of your baby's needs and also offer a comfortable ride for your child even over rough terrain. Some models come with a large bassinet to enable naps while on the go. The most effective strollers include the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses, making them the ideal option for parents who are just starting out.

Modern prams and strollers have adaptors that allow you to attach an automobile capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your sleeping baby without disturbing them.

The Doona travel system stroller is an excellent example of this; it is a compact and lightweight stroller that transforms into a comfortable carrycot and car seat group 0+, making it the perfect option for parents who are always who are always on the move.

Real prams are silvercross sprung things that Mary Poppins would use on her adventures and they're an excellent option for walking around town or travelling to other countries, since they're easy to manage and can carry a large amount of luggage.
