Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1 pushchair 2 in 1 travel system prams make it easy to transition your baby from car to stroller and back. These sets are editor-tested and endorsed. They include an infant seat that snaps onto the stroller frame to ensure a smooth ride.

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). The weight and age restrictions vary by product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram comes with car seats that can be plugged into the stroller. It can also transform into a carrycot, which makes it the perfect one-stop shop for your baby's first few years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, but the ease of moving your baby from the car to the stroller safely and without disturbing them makes it worth the extra price.

A modern take on a traditional pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram combo is a favorite among parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped into your vehicle using UPPAbaby’s Smart Secure LATCH System, making it easier to install than other models. 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 an additional highly rated product for new parents. It can be converted into a stroller that can be turned into a rolling bassinet, and the reclining seat can be placed in either direction, based on the child's preference. It is easy to use, and it can accommodate two car seats.

There are a variety of other options available and they are also available. Many 2 in 1 travel systems come with an infant stroller 2in1 as well as a car seat that can be used right from the time of birth. However, many of these car seat and pram 2 in 1 seats are not compatible with all strollers. It's important to choose one that is compatible with your car model and can be set up securely. Go through the manufacturer's instructions and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to see if they offer roadside assistance if you need help with installation or another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pram, allowing newborns to sleep comfortably while on the move. It's ideal for use from birth until your baby is able to sit unassisted, usually about 6 months. A carrycot can also be used as an alternative to a crib or moses basket. It can also double up as a bed for travel when you're away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in 1 travel system pram typically has a large, flat base and is designed to help your baby's natural sleeping position, which aids healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots such as the doofy Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleeping and can be easily folded and stored away when not being used.

Most 3 in 1 combination prams combine the pushchair, car seat and carrycot so you can choose the right mode of transport for each journey. They are heavier than 2 in 1 models and could be preferred for parents who prefer a classic pram design. A lot of these models have the facility 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 up and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have a carrycot usually come with a light chassis that folds flat, which makes them smaller and easier to fit into smaller vehicles. They also come with a range of features that make them more convenient, such as large shopping baskets and rain covers.

Verify that the 2 in 1 travel system with a carrycot that you are considering is safe and conforms to the latest European safety standard. For instance, you can ensure that the carrycot is compliant to the new standard EN1466-2023. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC :2015 and becomes mandatory in June 2024. Look out for carrycot accessories like weather shields and footmuffs. Also, you can find parent and child trays.

Stroller

A stroller is ideal for babies who are able to sit in an infant car seat and is now ready to start walking on their own. Strollers fold easily and compact, and usually fit in the trunk of cars. They're spacious enough to store all your baby's essentials and provide the comfort of a ride on rough terrain. Some have a spacious bassinet, which allows napping while traveling. The top strollers come with modern safety features such as 5-point harnesses, making them the ideal option for parents who are just starting out.

Many modern strollers and prams come with adaptors that make it possible to snap the car capsule into the chassis and allow you to move your sleeping baby from car to stroller without disturbing them. This is an excellent feature for parents who are constantly on the go, as it allows you to run essential errands and not wake your child or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best illustrated by the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller that can be converted into a carrycot or group baby seat.

They are simple to handle and hold a lot of luggage. They're however heavy to carry and can be difficult to fit into a taxi or small trunk of your car However, they're perfect for long walks because of their spaciousness and the comfort they offer.

A pramette is a traditional pram but is much smaller in size and is great for travelling on trains that are busy or if your house doesn't have space to keep the full-size pram. Many of them convert into pushchairs so that your baby can lay flat from birth, and some also convert into a travel system by the addition of a car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are some of the brands who stock these.
