Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System
2in1 pramThe best 2 in 1, travel system prams allow you to easily switch your baby between cars and strollers. These sets have been tested by editors and endorsed. They include an infant seat that snaps into the stroller frame that matches for an easy ride.
Please note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seating, which is meant to remain in the vehicle). The weight and age restrictions differ by product.
Car Seat
A
2 in 1 travel system pram comes with an infant car seat that snaps into the
stroller 2 in 1 car seat. It also has the ability to transform into an infant carrycot, making it a one-stop shop for your baby's first few years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, but the ease of moving your baby from the car to the stroller in a safe manner and without causing any disturbance to them makes it worth the extra price.
The UPPAbaby pram and car combo provides a modern take on the traditional pram. It is a popular choice by parents. The Vista stroller is easy to maneuver and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it much easier to install than other models. Plus, the pram can be used as a bassinet, or in carriage mode and you can alter the seat's direction to forward-facing or rear-facing based on your preference.
The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is another highly rated option for new parents. It can be converted into a rolling stroller or bassinet and the reclining seat can 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 a variety of alternatives available and they are also available. Many 2 in 1 travel system prams include a baby car seat and stroller that can be used from birth, but most car seats aren't compatible with all strollers, which is why it's important to do your research before purchasing. It's important to choose one that is compatible with your car model and can be installed in a safe manner. Check the manufacturer's guidelines and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to inquire whether they provide roadside assistance in case you need help in a installation or any other issue.
Carrycot
A carrycot is a compact portable cot that is attached to a pram frame and allows babies to sleep comfortably when on the move. It's perfect for use from birth until your baby is able to sit up without assistance, typically around 6 months. A carrycot can also be an excellent alternative to the moses basket or crib and can be used as a travel cot for those staying away from home. The carrycot in a
2 in 1 bassinet stroller in 1 travel system pram is usually flat and large. It assists your baby's natural sleeping position and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots such as the didofy Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleeping and can be easily folded and stored away when not being used.
Most 3 in 1 combination pram systems combine a car seat, a pushchair and carrycot so you can choose the right mode of transport for each journey. They are more bulky than 2 in 1 models, and can be a better choice for parents who prefer a classic pram look. These models typically offer the option of removing the pushchair unit so that they can be used as lightweight strollers when your child is old enough to sit straight and look at you.
2 in 1 travel system prams that have a carrycot usually feature a lightweight chassis and fold flat, making them smaller and easier to fit into smaller vehicles. They come with a variety of features that make them more convenient. These include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.
When shopping for a 2 in 1 travel system pram and a carrycot, check that the product you are contemplating is suitable for your child and that it is in line with the most recent European safety standards. Check, for example, that the carrycot is in compliance with the new EN1466:2023 standard. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015 and will become obligatory in June 2024. Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot like weather shields and footmuffs. Also, you can find tray for both children and parents.
Stroller
A stroller is ideal for babies who are comfortable in a car seat for infants and is able to start walking independently. Strollers are easy to fold and compact, and typically fit in the boot of cars. They come with plenty of storage space to accommodate all of your
baby pushchair 2 in 1's needs and also provide an enjoyable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet to allow for napping in the car. The most reliable strollers come with the latest safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are a great option for new parents.
Many modern prams and strollers come with adaptors that make it possible to click the car capsule into the chassis which allows you to move your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature, especially for parents who are always in motion. It lets them complete essential errands without having to needing to disturb their child. This is best illustrated by the Doona travel system, a compact stroller which can be converted into a carrycot or a group child seat for 0+.
Real prams are silvercross sprung things Mary Poppins would take on her travels and are a great choice for walking around town or travelling abroad, as they're easy to handle and can hold a huge amount of baggage. They're however heavy to carry and can be difficult to fit into a taxi or small trunk of your car, but they are ideal for long walks due to their space and ease of use.
The newer 3 in 1 prams have an updated and modern design. They come with frames that fold up like an umbrella, and also a portable baby seat or carrycot. They are suitable for use from birth and are less bulky than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be turned into a seat facing your child, which reclines when they're ready. Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is an excellent option that comes with a infant car seat and a carrycot as well as the pushchair.
Accessories
A pramette is a smaller model of the pram. It is great for traveling on trains that are crowded or if you don't have the space to store a full-size stroller. Some of them can be converted into pushchairs so your baby can lay flat from birth. Others can be transformed into an ideal travel system by incorporating the car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are some of the brands that stock these.
A 3-in-1 travel system bundle includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat for ultimate convenience. You simply click the coordinating car seat onto the pushchair frame, and your baby will have easy, relaxing excursions out of the house from the moment of birth. Once your baby is old enough, you can convert the stroller into a pram and have an updated take on the classic look. This is perfectly illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It includes a Carrycot, Infant car seat and is suitable from birth.
