Car Seat

Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website as well as the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also check with your insurance company for roadside assistance if you need assistance installing something or dealing with another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact, portable cot that attaches to the frame of a pram and allows infants to rest comfortably while out and about. It's ideal from birth until the time your baby is able to sit up unassisted, usually around 6 months. A carrycot can also be used as a substitute to a crib or a moses basket. It can also double up as a travel bed when you're away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in1 travel system pram 2 in 1 uk is generally large and flat.

Look out for carrycot accessories such as weather shields and footmuffs. There are also the trays for children and parents.

Stroller
