Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The most effective 2 in 1, travel system prams allow you to effortlessly transition your baby between a car and a stroller. Editor-tested and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps onto a frame for the stroller to ensure a comfortable ride for your child.

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

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram comes with car seats that can be clicked into the stroller. It can also be converted into an infant carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's early years. These prams cost more than standard strollers. However, the ease of moving your baby from the car to the stroller safely and without disturbing them is worth the extra cost.

A modern take on a traditional 2in1 pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram set is a favourite for parents. The Vista stroller glides easily and the Mesa car seat clips to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it simpler to install than other models. The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also change the direction of your seat from forward-facing to rear-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. Like the Doona it can be converted into a rolling bassinet or stroller with an adjustable seat that can be positioned to face your child towards the front or back of the stroller, based on their preference. It is easy to use, and can accommodate two car seats.

There are other options available. Many 2 in 1 travel systems prams come with car seats for babies and a stroller that can be used from birth, however the majority of car seats aren't compatible with all strollers, so it's essential to conduct your research before purchasing. It is essential to choose a product that is compatible with the specific car model you have and that is safe to be installed. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to inquire whether they provide roadside assistance if you require assistance with an installation or other issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pram, allowing babies to sleep comfortably when on the move. It's perfect for use from birth until your child is able to sit up unassisted, usually at around 6 months. A carrycot is an excellent alternative to a moses basket or crib and can double up as a travel cot if you are staying away from home. The carrycot of a two in 1 travel system pram is typically large and flat. It supports your baby's natural position for sleep and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, such as the adorable Stargazer are also suitable for sleeping at night and can be easily collapsed and stored when not in use.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams are able to combine a pushchair with the option of a car seat or a carrycot, so you can select the best mode of transport for your journey. They tend to be bulkier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and can be preferred by parents who prefer the classic look of a pram. These models typically offer the option of removing the pushchair so that they can be used as lightweight strollers when your child is old enough to sit straight and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams with carrycots usually feature a lightweight chassis that folds flat, which makes them more compact and can easily fit into smaller vehicles. They come with a variety of features that make them more practical. These include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.

Verify that the 2 in 1 carrycot and pushchair in 1 travel system and the carrycot you are thinking of is suitable and complies with the most recent European safety standard. Check, for example, that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant with the new EN1466:2023 standard. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015, which will be mandatory in June 2024. Look out for carrycot accessories such as weather shields and footmuffs. You can also find the trays for children and parents.

Stroller

A stroller is the best option when your baby is capable of sitting in an infant car seat and is ready to begin walking independently. Strollers can be folded easily, are compact and often can be put in the boot of your car. They come with plenty of storage space to allow for all of your baby's needs. They also provide a comfortable ride for your child even over rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet for naps while on the move. The top strollers come with the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses, making them an ideal option for parents who are just starting out.

A lot of modern strollers and prams have adaptors that make possible to connect a car capsule into the chassis, allowing you to move your sleepy baby from car to stroller without disturbing them. This is an excellent feature for parents who are always on the go, since it allows you to run important errands without having wake your child or risk removing them from the vehicle. The Doona travel system stroller is a great example of this. It's a lightweight and compact stroller that can transform into a comfortable carrycot and car seat group 0+ which makes it the ideal option for parents who are always on the go.

Real prams are the silvercross sprung things Mary Poppins would take on her adventures and they're an excellent option for walking around town or traveling to other countries, since they're easy to handle and can hold a huge amount of baggage. However, they're quite heavy to carry and may be difficult to fit into a taxi or small trunks of your car, but they are ideal for long walks due to their space and comfort.

The latest 3 in 1 prams are more modern and contemporary design, featuring a frame that closes like an umbrella, and a convertible baby seat or carrycot. They are suitable for use at birth, and are smaller than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be converted into a seat that faces your child's back that reclines when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a great value option that includes an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller version of the pram. It is great for trains that are crowded or when you don't have enough space in your home to store a full-size stroller. Some of these can be converted into pushchairs so that your baby can lie flat from birth. Some can be converted into an entire 2in1 travel system system by adding an automobile seat. Some of the brands that carry these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel package includes a carrycot, pushchair and car seat. This is the ultimate in convenience. Connect the car seat to the frame of the pushchair and your baby will enjoy peaceful, comfortable trips from birth. You can then switch to a stroller once your baby is ready, and you'll get a striking modern twist on the traditional look of a pram. The Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System bundle is a great example of this. It comes with the Carrycot, Infant car seat and is suitable from birth.
