Editor-Tested 2 in 1 travel system pram (Going to Cheaperseeker)

The best 2 in 1 pram stroller in 1 travel system prams allow you to easily transition your baby between cars and strollers. These sets have been tested by editors and endorsed. They come with a baby seat that snaps onto the stroller frame that matches for an easy ride.

Note that these car seats only work with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, which are meant to stay in the car). Weight and age limits differ according to the product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram comes with a car seat that clicks into the stroller. It also has the ability to transform into a carrycot, which makes it an all-in-one solution for your baby's initial years. These prams cost more than standard strollers, but the ease of transferring your child from the car to the stroller in a safe manner and without disturbing them makes it worth the extra price.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combo is a modern version of the traditional pram. It is a popular choice by parents. The Vista stroller glides easily and the Mesa car seat can be slid to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it simpler to install than other models. Plus, the pram can be used as a bassinet, or in carriage mode and you can change the seat's direction to forward-facing or rear-facing based on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is a highly rated option for new parents. It can be converted to a rolling stroller or bassinet and the reclining seats can be positioned to face your child in either direction, depending on his or her preference. It is simple to use and can accommodate two car seats.

There are many other options available and they are also available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems include a stroller and car seat that can be used right from the time of birth. However, the majority of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. It's important to choose the right product that is compatible with your vehicle model and can be set up in a safe manner. Check the manufacturer's guidelines and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to find out whether they provide roadside assistance if you require assistance with an installation or other issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pram and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while traveling. It's ideal from birth until the time your baby is able to sit unaided, typically at around 6 months. A carrycot is also an ideal alternative to a moses basket or crib and can also double as a travel cot if you are you are away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in1 travel system pram is generally large and flat. It supports your baby's natural sleeping position and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots like the didofy Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleeping and can be easily folded and stored when they are not being used.

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

2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots typically come with a light chassis that folds flat, making them more compact and can easily fit into smaller vehicles. They also come with a variety of features that make them more practical, such as large shopping baskets and rain covers.

When you are shopping for a 2- in 1 travel system pram and a carrycot, check that the product you are considering is suitable for your child and conforms to the latest European safety standards. For example, check that the carrycot complies with the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the old EN 0+:2014+AC:2015 and will be obligatory by June 2024). Look out for carrycot accessories like weather shields and footmuffs. There are also parent and child trays.

Stroller

A stroller is the best option when your baby is able to sit in an infant car seat and is able to start walking on their own. Strollers are easy to fold, are compact and often can be put in the boot of your car. They're big enough to accommodate all of your baby's essentials and provide an enjoyable ride, even on rough terrain. Some models come with a large bassinet to enable naps while on the move. The best strollers are equipped with the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are a great option for parents who are just starting out.

Modern strollers and prams come with adaptors which allow you to connect an automobile capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your baby to sleep without disrupting them. This is a great feature, particularly for parents who are constantly in motion. It lets them run essential errands and not be able to disturb their child. This is best illustrated by the Doona travel system, a stroller that is lightweight that can be transformed into a carrycot, or a group 0+ child seat.

Real prams are the silvercross sprung things Mary Poppins would take when she went on adventures. They're an excellent option for walking around town or traveling abroad, as they're easy to operate and can hold a huge amount of baggage. They are heavy and difficult to transport, and they aren't easy to fit into a trunk of a car or taxi. However, their comfort and space make them perfect for long walks.

The more recent 3 in 1 prams have a more sophisticated and contemporary design, with frames that shut like an umbrella, and a convertible baby seat or carrycot. They are suitable for use at birth, and are lighter than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be transformed into a seat for your child that reclines when they're ready. Our range includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a great value option that includes an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is similar to the traditional pram, but it folds much smaller and is great for travelling on trains with a lot of traffic or in the event that your home doesn't have room for an entire pram. Some of these can be converted into pushchairs 2 in 1 so that your baby can lie flat from birth. Others can be transformed into an entire travel system by adding an automobile seat. Some of the brands that sell these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel system includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat for the ultimate convenience. Connect the car seat to the frame of the pushchair and your baby will have a peaceful, relaxing trip from the moment of birth. You can then switch to a stroller once your baby is ready, and you'll have an eye-catching modern take on the classic pram and stroller 2 in 1 style. This is beautifully illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It comes complete with a Carrycot and Infant car seat that can be used from the time of birth.
