Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1 travel system prams make it easy to move your child from car to stroller, and then back. These sets are editor-tested and endorsed. They come with an infant seat that snaps onto the matching stroller frame for an easy ride.

Please 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). The age and weight restrictions differ by product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram includes an infant car seat that snaps into the stroller. It also has the ability to transform into a carrycot, making it the perfect one-stop shop for your baby's first years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, however the ease of transferring your child from the car to the stroller safely and without disturbing them makes it worth the extra price.

A modern interpretation of a traditional pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram combination is a popular pick among parents. The Vista stroller glides smoothly, and the Mesa infant car seat is clipped easily into your vehicle using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it simpler than other models to set up. The pram can also be used in carriage mode or as a bassinet. You can also switch the direction of your seat from rear-facing to forward-facing, depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combination is another highly-rated product that is ideal for parents who are new. Like the Doona, it can convert into a roll-up bassinet or stroller with a reclining seat that can be positioned to face your child towards the rear or front of the stroller based on their preferences. It is easy to use, and can accommodate two car seats.

There are many other options out there and they are also available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems prams include car seats for babies and a stroller that can be used from birth, however most of those car seats aren't compatible with all strollers, which is why it's essential to conduct your research before purchasing. The most important thing is to get a quality product that is compatible with the specific car model you have and is safe to be installed. Go through the manufacturer's instructions and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. Also, check with your insurance provider for roadside assistance if you need assistance in installing something or addressing another issue.

Carrycot

Carrycots are a simple to transport small cot that can be affixed to a frame for a pram. It lets babies sleep comfortably on the go. It is a great option to use from birth until your baby is able sit up without assistance, which usually occurs at around six months. A carrycot can be used as a substitute to a crib or moses basket. It can also double up as a bed for travel when you're away from home. The carrycot on two-in-one pram for travel typically has a large flat base, and is designed to accommodate your baby's natural sleeping position, which helps in healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, like the doofy Stargazer, are also suitable for sleeping at night and can be easily collapsed and stored away when not in use.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams are able to combine a pushchair and a car seat or carrycot, so you can select the best mode of transport for your journey. These are bulkier than the 2 in 1 models and may be preferred by parents who prefer a classic pram style. Many of these models also offer the ability to remove the pushchair seat unit and you can use it as a lightweight stroller when your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have a carrycot usually have a lightweight chassis and fold flat, making them more compact and easy to fit into smaller vehicles.

When shopping for a 2 in 1 travel system pram and a carrycot, ensure that the product you're contemplating is suitable for your child and meets the latest European safety standards. For instance, you can ensure that the carrycot is in compliance with the new standard EN1466:2023. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015, which will be mandatory in June 2024. Also, look for carrycot accessories such as footmuffs weather shields and parent and child trays to help your little one feel safe and comfortable while they sleep in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is a great option when your baby is comfortable in a car seat that is for infants and is now ready to start walking independently. Strollers are easy to fold, compact and can typically fit in the boot of the car. They have ample storage space to accommodate all of your baby's needs. They also provide the most comfortable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Some come with a spacious bassinet to enable naps while on the go. The top strollers come with the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses making them the ideal option for parents who are just starting out.

Many modern strollers and prams have adaptors that make possible to click an automobile capsule into the chassis and allow you to move your sleepy baby from car to pushchair without disrupting them. This is an excellent feature, particularly for parents who are constantly on the move. It lets them do essential errands and not have to disturb their baby. This is best demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a stroller that is lightweight that can be transformed into a carrycot or a group 0+ child seat.

They are simple to handle and carry a large amount of luggage. They are heavy and difficult to transport, and they aren't easy to fit into a small trunk or taxi. However, their ease of use and roominess make them ideal for long walks.
