Whether you are looking to travel with ease or want to make a modern interpretation of the pram, a car seat and stroller combo is the best option. Read the specs carefully to make sure your car seat and pushchair are compatible, or think about buying an adapter.

Editor-tested travel systems allow you to transport your newborn in a smooth and seamless way from the car to the stroller, without disrupting them. Some even include a carrycot that allows for a peaceful sleep.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snaps together. This is a great solution for parents who frequently do errands or take their baby on public transport or rideshares. "You will have less gear to worry about," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families who alternate between carpooling and public transit with other moms."

The best option is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which receives 90% of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing car seats that drops down into a rolling stroller--the transition only takes seconds. When not in use the wheels can be folded away and it is compact. The Doona can also be attached to a car's backseat by using the sturdy LATCH base or to taxi safety belts. This makes it perfect for urban families.

The Mamas & Papas Pramette is yet another great car seat/stroller combo, with the pram having a hood and front seat that open to allow you to lie your child down to sleep or for feedings. It has a spacious basket with cup holders to store all of your baby's necessities, plus a parent tray and sun shade. The stroller seat has a multi-position reclining seat and can recline to a flat, so baby is comfy for every ride.

The weight and height limits are also important. Also, consider whether the car seat for infants can be used only with a backseat belt or if it has a rigid LATCH system integrated into. Also, look for a lock on the handle to ensure it stays safe in its place and the possibility of tilting the handle towards the rear seatback for an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems are only suitable for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats that can be turned forward later, do not snap into strollers. Because of this, many mothers opt to purchase an additional stroller and car seat when their baby grows out of the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a crucial piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems have a baby pram which can be transformed into a comfy infant carrycot. This is ideal for parents who do not want to disturb their infant while traveling. Depending on the brand, some also feature an automobile seat and stroller combination that can be connected to each other. This lets you keep your child in the car seat and then transfer them to the stroller without disrupting them.

A great stroller should include plenty of features that make it convenient and easy to use. It should have a large basket that can put away essentials like nappies as well as snacks, toys and other items. It should also be able to recline to give your baby a relaxing rest. It should also come with a sturdy canopy to shield your baby from the sun and a lockable front wheel for extra security. Lastly, it should be lightweight and compact for storage or transporting to and from the car.

Travel system strollers that have been tested by an editor such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all provide convenience by connecting to a variety top car seats that snap to the frame and fold up with ease. Some models have one wheel on each leg to make them more maneuverable and easier to roll across different surfaces.

The ideal stroller will be able to endure throughout toddlerhood and beyond if you want it to carry your child to and from school or to play dates, activities and so on. For this reason, pushchairsandprams consider a model that features an open-air seat that faces the world (and reclines) when your child is no longer in the car seat.

If you are planning to utilize your Ickle Bubba Stomp Luxe 2-in-1 Stroller - Silver/Grey/Black system on public transport, choose one with an ISOFIX base. This will ensure that it is safe for you to hop off and on trains or buses. Some models, such as the Doona can be installed on trains and planes to make travelling with a baby easier.
