Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1 stroller car seat in 1 travel system prams allow you to transfer your child from car to stroller and back again. Editor-tested and approved, these sets come with an infant car seat that snaps into a matching stroller frame to ensure a safe ride for your child.

Be aware that these car seats can only be used with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats which are meant to stay in the car). Weight and age limits differ by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram comes with car seats that can be plugged into the stroller and can also transform into a carrycot, making it a one-stop shop for your baby's initial years. They are generally more expensive than standard strollers however the ease and security of transferring your baby from your car to the stroller without disturbing them is well worth the additional cost.

A modern take on an old-fashioned pram, UPPAbaby car seat and pram set is a favourite for 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 simpler than other models to set up. The pram can also be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also alter the orientation of your seat from rear-facing to forward-facing, depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is a highly rated option for new parents. Like the Doona it can also be converted into a rolling bassinet, or stroller 2in1 with an adjustable seat that can face your child from the rear or front of the stroller based on their preference. It's easy to use and can be an ideal option if plan on buying a second car seat for older children because it can accommodate up to two seats.

There are many other options available. A majority of 2 in 1 travel system prams include baby car seats and stroller that can be used from birth, but most car seats don't work with all strollers, which is why it's crucial to do your research before purchasing. It is essential to select a product that is compatible with your car model and can be installed securely. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to find out if they offer roadside assistance if you need help with an installation or other problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that is attached to the frame of a pram and allows babies to sleep comfortably when out and about. It is ideal to use from birth until your baby can sit without assistance, which usually occurs at around six months. A carrycot is also an ideal alternative to a moses basket or crib and can double up as a travel cot for those staying away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in1 travel system pram 2in1 is generally large and flat. It helps your baby's natural position for sleep and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, like the doofy Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleep and can be folded and stored when not being used.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination pram systems combine a car seat, a pushchair and a carrycot, so you can pick the most suitable mode of transport for each journey. They are heavier than 2 in 1 pushchair with car seat in 1 models, and can be preferred for parents who prefer a traditional pram design. Many of these models offer the ability to remove the seat unit for the pushchair which allows you to use it as a light stroller once your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots usually feature a lightweight chassis that folds flat, so they're more compact and easy to fit into smaller cars. They also come with a range of features that make them more convenient like large shopping baskets, as well as rain covers.

If you are looking for a 2 in 1 travel system pram with a carrycot, make sure that the product you're considering is suitable for your child and meets the latest European safety standards. For instance, ensure that the carrycot meets the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the earlier EN 0+:2014+AC:2015 and will be mandatory by June 2024). Also look out for carrycot accessories such as footmuffs weather shields, and tray dishes for both parents and children to ensure that your child will feel comfortable and secure when they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

If your baby is able to comfortably sit in a car-seat for infants and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller could be the best option. Strollers fold easily, compact and can usually fit in the trunk of a car. They have ample storage space to accommodate all your baby's needs. They also offer an enjoyable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet that can be used for napping while on the move. The best strollers are fitted with the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for parents who are just starting out.

Many modern prams and strollers have adaptors that make it possible to connect a car capsule into the chassis, allowing you to move your sleepy baby from car to pushchair without disturbing them. This is an excellent feature, particularly for parents who are constantly in motion. It allows them to do essential errands and not have to disturb their baby. The Doona travel system stroller is a great example of this; it is a compact and lightweight stroller that can transform into a cosy carrycot and car seat for groups 0+ which makes it the ideal option for parents who are always traveling.

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

The newest 3 in 1 prams have more modern and sophisticated design. They have frames that fold like an umbrella, as well as a convertible baby seat or carrycot that can be removed. These are able to be used from birth and are generally less bulky than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot can also be transformed into an upright seat that will face your child's face and recline when they're ready. Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a good value choice that includes an infant car seat, a carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller model of the pram. It is perfect for travel on trains that are packed or in the event that you don't have the space in your home to store a large stroller. Some of them can be converted into pushchairs, so that your baby can lie flat from birth. Others can be transformed into an ideal travel system by incorporating a car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are among the brands who stock these.

A 3-in-1 travel bundle includes a carrycot, pushchair and car seat for ultimate convenience. Click the car seat into the frame for your pushchair, and your baby will have a peaceful, relaxing trip starting at birth. When your baby is old enough, you can convert the pram into a stroller and give a modern twist on the traditional design. This is beautifully illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It comes complete with an Carrycot and Infant car seat, which is suitable for use starting from the time of birth.
