A
2 in 1 Carrycot and Pushchair Review
A 2 in 1, carrycot/pushchair, combines both the baby's seat and a carriercot into one single unit. It is easy to change between the two as your child develops.
It is generally accepted that babies should be kept in a carrycot up until they begin rolling over, which typically occurs at about six months.

The carrycot
The carrycot provides an incredibly comfortable, safe and secure environment for infants. It aids infants in developing in a healthy way since lying flat is vital for spinal and lung development It's also safer than a baby sleeping upright in the pram seat or Moses basket.

When selecting a carrycot, pick one with a sturdy frame that is designed to be mobile and can fold easily. It should also be lightweight to ensure it's easily transported and stored, and have an umbrella that protects from the sun. To ensure the safety of your baby it is recommended to choose an infant carrier made of top-quality fabrics that contain flame-resistant fillings.
A carrycot of good quality will have a comfortable mattress that is filled with polyurethane for maximum comfort and support. There are also models that have adjustable base levels to accommodate your growing infant and ensure the best comfort.
A good quality carrycot should also come with handles that can be linked or one handle to make moving more convenient. This is especially useful in the case of multiple family members who use the
stroller 2 in 1.
Find a carrycot that has an attached footmuff. It is an essential item for any parent as it will provide warmth and security for your child from the elements. A high-quality footmuff will have a soft and comfortable interior, and should be made from fabrics that are showerproof to keep your baby dry and warm. The best footmuffs are compatible with your carrycot and feature a 5-point safety harness.
The seat unit
The seat is part of a 2-in-1 travel system that converts from a carrycot to an infant pushchair when your baby is ready to sit. It typically has a recline function and two different 'facing directions': parent facing (or rear-facing) or world-facing (or forward-facing). It should be large, comfortable for your child, and include an umbrella, sunshade, canopy and be easy to take on and off the frame of your pushchair.
You can purchase a pushchair and pushchair either separately or as an all-in-one bundle. Bundles allow you to save money and time because you can start with a carrycot, and then swap it out for the pushchair seat when your baby is six months old or able to sit without assistance. Most travel systems come with car seats adaptors that allow you to connect the infant car seat and the pushchair chassis. This allows you to easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair.

Choose a crib that allows you to face your child. This will allow you to observe and comfort your baby. You can easily monitor your child, comfort them and reassure them in the first few months. Many parents have found that it helps in bonding when their child is able to see them.
When your baby is ready for the transition from their carrycot to a pushchair, they'll require a supportive, comfortable seat that has plenty of padding and good back support, along with a five-point harness. Make sure the pushchair is equipped with a reversible padded seat liner or footmuff that is extremely soft and waterproof. It can also be attached during colder weather.
Look for a pushchair with an ample basket that is easy to access from the seat and has plenty of pockets for shopping. It's also recommended to think about an extra bag for changing which will help you stay organised on outings. You can pick up an appropriate changing bag from many brands or choose an tote or backpack that will fit neatly onto the stroller frame.
The footmuff
A footmuff is a great way to keep your baby warm during cold winter days. The footmuff is wrapped around the lower body of your baby to keep it warm and cozy. It also has an opening for the strap so that you can still put them in their vehicle seat or stroller. Most brands have a range of footmuffs, including some designed to fit specific strollers or car seats that are ideal for keeping your baby warm and cozy without having to worry about them getting too hot.
Many parents choose to utilize a footmuff instead blankets or layers to ensure that their child is not overheated which is especially helpful when out on windy or rainy days. Najell Universal Footmuff has a super-plush cushioning that will keep your baby warm and comfortable. It's also machine washable so you can easily keep it clean. It fits most pushchairs and is a convenient accessory.
Hauck Soft 2in1 Carrycots may be used as footmuffs by taking off the handles and head part. This is a great solution for babies who don't need to be covered when they go out and about. This also saves on space in the nursery, since you'll only have one item that can be used from birth to toddlerhood. If you want to be even more organised, you can also find a pacifier in the pocket to know what your baby likes.
