Choosing Between a Pram and Travel System

A travel system is an ideal option if you're looking for a pram that grows with your family. They typically include a car capsule and a bassinet or carrycot for infants and typically include an extra pushchair seat for older babies.

You can use the button to go in and out without having to wake your baby. Here's why many parents love these devices.

Convenience

You can transfer your baby effortlessly from the car to the pram by using a travel system. This is ideal for parents who have to rush around to run errands or go shopping. It also means you can make the most of parks walks and road excursions without having to swap equipment for each scenario.

Some systems have an adult facing or reversible seat so you can monitor your child while they sleep, ensuring they are in a safe and comfortable. Many come with extra features such as extra padding, ergonomic support and storage baskets. They are an excellent choice for infants.

Some travel systems can be adapted to accommodate twins or a second child in the car seat. If you have a family that is larger it can be a great way to reduce the number of strollers or car seats you must keep in the house.

If you are looking to build your own travel system, many well-known brands of prams offer Infant Carriages car seat adapters that allow you to put an appropriate baby capsule into the frame and use it like a stroller. This is a much less expensive option than buying separate prams as well as baby car seats, bassinets and baby strollers carrycots.

A travel system bundle can provide you with everything you need to go on outings from the moment you are born and includes a compatible infant car seat that can fit into the bassinet of the pram, or carrycot and an upright seat for a foldable pushchair. Some bundles include additional accessories, such as rain covers, changing bags and coffee cup holders to ensure that you are always ready for any trip.

It is also important to check the weight limits as some may be oversized, which could affect functionality and safety. Make sure you purchase the right travel system suitable for your child, and sticking to the weight limit recommended by the manufacturer. Talk to a local expert for guidance if you are not sure.
