Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The most effective 2 in 1 pram and pushchair in 1 travel system prams allow you to easily transition your child between a car and a stroller. These sets are editor-tested and endorsed. They include an infant seat that snaps onto the stroller frame that matches for an easy ride.

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

Car Seat

A 2-in-1 travel system pram includes a car seat which can be clicked into the stroller. It can also be transformed into an infant carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's first years. They tend to be more expensive than standard strollers however the ease and security of moving your infant from your car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is well worth the additional cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combo offers a modern twist on the traditional pram. It is a favorite among parents. The Vista stroller glides easily and the Mesa car seat clips to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it much easier to install than other models. Furthermore, the stroller can be used as a bassinet or in carriage mode and you can alter the seat's direction to forward-facing or rear-facing based on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is another highly rated choice for new parents. It can be converted into a stroller that can be turned into a rolling bassinet, and the reclining seat can face your child in either direction, depending on his or her preference. It's easy to use and an ideal option if are planning to purchase an additional car seat for older siblings since it can fit up to two seats.

There are other options available. Many 2 in 1 travel systems come with an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used right from birth. However, most of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. The important thing is to purchase a high-quality product that works with your particular car model and is safe to be installed. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. Also, check with your insurance company for roadside assistance in case you require assistance installing something or addressing another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that can be attached to a pram frame and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while on the move. It's perfect for use from birth until the time your baby can sit up unaided, typically around 6 months. A carrycot can be used as a substitute to a crib or a moses basket. It can also be used as a bed to use while you are away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in1 travel system pram generally large and flat. It helps your baby's natural sleep position and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots such as the doofy Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleep and can be folded and stored away when not being used.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams pair a pushchair and the option of a car seat or a carrycot, allowing you to choose the most suitable mode of transport for your journey. They are generally heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and can be preferred by parents who prefer the traditional look of prams. Many of these models offer the ability to remove the seat unit for the pushchair, so you can use it as a light stroller after your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots usually have a lightweight chassis that folds flat, making them more compact and easy to fit into smaller cars. They come with a variety of features that make them more practical. They include large shopping baskets, rain covers and lightweight chassis.

If you are looking for a 2 in one travel system pram that includes a carrycot, make sure that the product you're considering is suitable for your child and that it is in line with the most recent European safety standards. For example, check that the carrycot complies with the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the old EN zero+:2014+AC, 2015 and will be obligatory by June 2024). Also look out for carrycot accessories like footmuffs, weather shields, and parent and child trays to help your child feel comfy and secure while they're sleeping 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 compact, and typically fit in the boot of the car. They have ample storage space to accommodate all your baby's needs. They also provide the most comfortable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Some have a spacious bassinet to enable naps while on the go. The best strollers are equipped with the latest safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are a great option for new parents.

Many modern strollers and prams have adaptors that make possible to click a car capsule into the chassis which allows you to transfer your sleeping baby from car to pushchair without disrupting them. This is a great feature, particularly for parents who are always in motion. It lets them complete essential errands without having to be able to disturb their child. The Doona travel system stroller is an excellent example of this. It's a lightweight and compact stroller that transforms into a comfortable carrycot and group 0+ car seat making it the perfect option for busy parents who are always on the move.

They're easy to handle and can hold a lot of luggage. They're heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to squeeze into a trunk of a car or taxi. However, their ease of use and roominess make them ideal for long walks.

The newest 3 in 1 prams have an updated and modern design. They come with a frame that folds up like an umbrella, and also a convertible baby seat or carrycot that can be removed. These are suitable for use from birth, and are smaller than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be turned into a seat facing your child that can recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is an excellent option that comes with a baby car seat and a carrycot as well as the pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller model of the pram. It is ideal for trains that are jammed 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 child can lie flat from birth, and some can also be converted into a travel system with the inclusion of car seats. Some of the brands that stock these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel system includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat for the ultimate convenience. Click the car seat into the pushchair frame and your baby can have a peaceful, relaxing trip from birth.
