Car Seat

A 2 in 1 pram in 1 travel system pram comes with a car seat that can be clicked into the stroller. It can also be transformed into an infant carrycot.

There are other options available. Many 2 in 1 travel systems prams include a baby car seat and stroller that can be used from birth, but most of those car seats don't work with all strollers, which is why it's crucial to do your research prior to purchasing. The important thing is to choose a product that is compatible with your specific car model and is safe to be installed. Go to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website as well as the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to inquire whether they provide roadside assistance should you require assistance with installation or another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact, portable cot that attaches to a pram frame and allows infants to rest comfortably while on the move. It's perfect for use from birth until the time your baby is able to sit without assistance, typically around 6 months. A carrycot can be used as an alternative to a crib or a moses basket. It can also double up as a bed for travel when you are away from home. The carrycot in 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 sleep at night and can be easily folded and stored when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 prams combine a car seat, a pushchair and a carrycot, so you can choose the right mode of transport for each journey. They are more bulky than buggy 2 in 1 in 1 models and may be preferred by parents who prefer a traditional pram pushchair 2 in 1 style. A lot of these models have the facility to remove the seat for the pushchair which allows you to make it a lighter stroller after your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

They are typically light and fold flat. This makes them easier to be tucked away in smaller vehicles. They are equipped with many features that make them more practical. These include large shopping baskets, rain covers and lightweight chassis.

Check that the 2 in 1 travel system that includes a carrycot you are considering is safe and conforms to the most recent European safety standard. For instance, make sure that the carrycot complies with the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the earlier EN 0+:2014+AC:2015, and will become 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 safe and comfortable while they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is a great option when your baby is comfortable in a car seat for infants and is ready to begin walking independently. Strollers are easy to fold and are small enough to can be tucked away in the trunk of your car. They come with plenty of 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 have a spacious bassinet to enable naps while on the go. The most effective strollers include the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses making them an ideal option for any new parent.

Many modern prams and strollers come with adaptors that make it possible to connect an automobile capsule into the chassis, allowing you to move your sleepy baby from car to pushchair without disrupting them.

This is best illustrated by the Doona travel system, a compact stroller that can be transformed into a carrycot or group child seat for 0+.

Accessories
