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, making it a one-stop shop for your baby's first few years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, however the convenience of moving your baby from the car to the stroller in a safe manner and without disturbing them is worth the extra cost.

The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also change the orientation of your seat from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.

There are many alternatives available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems prams come with a baby car seat and stroller that can be used from birth, however 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 get a quality product that works with your specific car model and that 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 contact your insurance company to see if they offer roadside assistance in case you need help with installation or another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact, portable cot that attaches to the frame of a pram, allowing newborns to sleep comfortably while traveling. It is a great option to use from birth until your baby is able to stand up on their own without assistance, which is typically about six months. A carrycot can also be an ideal alternative to a crib or moses basket and can also double as a travel cot for those you are away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in 1 travel system pram is typically large and flat. It helps your baby's natural sleeping position and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots such as the doofy Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleep and can be folded and stored when they are not being used.

Many of these models come with the option of removing the seat unit for the pushchair, so you can use it as a light stroller after your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot such as weather shields and footmuffs. There are also tray for both children and parents.

Stroller

If your baby is able to sit comfortably in a car seat for infants and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best option. Strollers fold easily, compact and can usually fit in the trunk of cars. They're spacious enough to accommodate all of your baby's essentials and provide an enjoyable ride, even on rough terrain. Some come with a spacious bassinet, which allows napping while on the move. The best strollers are equipped with the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for new parents.
