Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The most efficient 2 in 1 stroller car seat in 1 travel system prams let you effortlessly transition your baby 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 smooth and comfortable ride.

Take note that these car seats can only be used with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats which are designed to remain in the car). Age and weight limits vary depending on the model.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram comes with a car seat that clicks into the stroller. It can also transform into an infant carrycot, making it an all-in-one solution for your baby's first years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, but the ease of transferring your baby from the car seat 2 in 1 stroller to the stroller safely and without causing any disturbance to them makes it worth the extra price.

A modern interpretation of an old-fashioned pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram combination is a favourite among parents. The Vista stroller is a smooth ride and the Mesa infant car seat is clipped easily into your vehicle using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it easier than other models to install. Additionally, the stroller can be used as a bassinet, or in carriage mode, and you can switch the seat's direction between forward-facing and rear-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is another highly rated product for parents who are new. Similar to the Doona it can also be converted into a rolling bassinet or stroller with a reclining seat that can face your child from the front or back of the stroller, depending on their preference. It is easy to use, and it can accommodate two in one pram car seats.

There are other options available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems include an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used from the moment of birth. However, the majority of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. It's crucial to select one that is compatible with your car model and is able to be installed securely. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website as well as the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also check with your insurance provider for roadside assistance if you require help installing something or addressing other issues.

Carrycot

Carrycots are a simple to transport, small cot that can be affixed to a frame for a pram. It allows newborns to rest comfortably while traveling. It's ideal for use from birth until your child is able to sit unaided, typically about 6 months. A carrycot is an ideal alternative to a crib or moses basket and can also double as a travel cot if you are staying away from home. The carrycot of a two in 1 travel system pram is usually flat and large. It helps your baby's natural sleep position and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, such as the adorable Stargazer can also be used for sleeping at night and can be easily folded and stored when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams pair the pushchair with an infant car seat or carrycot, so you can choose the most suitable mode of transport for your trip. They tend to be bulkier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who prefer the traditional look of prams. These models typically offer the option of removing the pushchair unit so that they can be used as lightweight strollers when your child is old enough to sit up straight and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that feature carrycots usually have a lightweight chassis that folds flat, which makes them smaller and easier to fit into smaller cars. They also have a range of features that make them more practical, such as large shopping baskets and rain covers.

Verify that the 2 in 1 travel system and the carrycot you are thinking of is suitable and complies with the most recent European safety standard. For instance, make sure whether the carrycot is compliant with the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the old EN 0+:2014+AC:2015, and will become obligatory by June 2024). Also, look out for accessories like footmuffs, weather shields and tray dishes for both parents and children to help your little one feel safe and comfortable while they sleep 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 could be the best option. Strollers can be folded easily and are usually compact enough to can be put in the boot of your car. They're spacious enough to accommodate all of baby's necessities and offer a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet for naps on the move. The most reliable strollers come with the latest safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are a great 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 which allows you to move your sleeping baby from car to pushchair without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature, particularly for parents who are constantly in motion. It lets them run essential errands and not needing to disturb their child. This is best 2 in 1 prams demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a stroller that is lightweight which can be converted into a carrycot or a group baby seat.

They are easy to handle and carry a large amount of luggage. However, they're heavy to carry and can be difficult to fit into a taxi, or the small trunk of your vehicle, but they are ideal for long walks due to their spaciousness and ease of use.

The latest 3 in 1 prams have an updated and modern design. They feature frames that fold like an umbrella, as well as a removable baby seat or carrycot. They are suitable for use from birth, and are smaller than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be turned into a seat that faces your child, which reclines when they're ready. Our choice includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is a great option that comes with a baby car seat and a carryingcot as well as a pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is similar to an ordinary pram, but can fold down much smaller and is ideal for travel on trains that are busy or in the event that your home doesn't have enough space for the full-size pram. Many of them convert into pushchairs, so that your baby can sleep flat from birth, and some can be converted into a travel system by the inclusion of a car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are some of the brands who stock these.

A 3-in-1 travel system bundle includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat for maximum convenience.
