The most effective 2 in 1 travel system prams make it easy to transfer your baby from the car to stroller and back again. These sets are editor-tested and approved. They include an infant seat that snaps into the stroller frame that matches for a smooth ride.
Be aware that these car seats only work with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats that are designed to be used in the car). The weight and age limitations vary for each product.
Car Seat
A 2 in 1 travel system pram includes a car seat that clicks into the stroller and can also transform into an infant carrycot, making it the perfect one-stop shop for your baby's initial years. They are generally more expensive than standard strollers however, the convenience and security of moving your newborn from the car to the stroller without disturbing them is well worth the additional cost.
The UPPAbaby car and pram combination offers a modern twist on the traditional pram. It is a popular choice by parents. The Vista stroller is a smooth ride, and the Mesa infant car seat is clipped easily into your vehicle via UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it easier than other models to set up. The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as a bassinet. You can also switch the seat's orientation from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.
The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller 2 in 1 combo is a highly-rated product that is ideal for parents with young children. Similar to the Doona, it can convert into a roll-up bassinet or stroller with an adjustable seat that can face your child from the front or back of the stroller, depending on their preferences. It is easy to use and can accommodate two car seats.
There are a variety of alternatives to choose from. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems include an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used right from the time of birth. However, many of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. It is essential to purchase a high-quality product that is compatible with your specific car model and that is safe to be installed. Review the manufacturer's guidelines and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also check with your insurance provider if it offers roadside assistance if you need help installing something or addressing 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 on the move. It's perfect for use from birth until your child can sit up unassisted, usually around 6 months. A carrycot is an excellent alternative to a moses basket or crib and can be used as a travel cot for those you are away from home. The carrycot on the 2 in 1 pram for travel typically has a wide, flat base and is designed to support your baby's natural sleeping position, which aids healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots such as the didofy Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleep and can be easily folded and stored when they are not being used.
Most 3 in 1, combination prams pair a pushchair and a car seat or carrycot, so you can pick the best method of transport for your trip. They tend to be bulkier than their 2 in 1 counterparts, and could be preferred by parents who appreciate the traditional look of prams. Many of these models offer the ability to remove the seat for the pushchair 2 in 1, so you can use it as a light stroller when your baby is old enough to sit and face you.
2 in 1 travel system prams that have a carrycot usually have a lightweight chassis and fold flat, which makes them more compact and can easily fit into smaller cars. They come with a variety of features that make them more practical. These include large shopping baskets, rain covers and lightweight chassis.
If you are looking for a 2 in 1 pram and pushchair in one travel system pram that includes a carrycot, ensure whether the product you're considering is suitable for your child and that it is in line with the most recent European safety standards. For instance, you can ensure that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant to the new standard EN1466-2023. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015 and will become obligatory in June 2024. Also look out for carrycot accessories like footmuffs, weather shields, and tray dishes for both parents and children to ensure that your child will feel safe and comfortable while they're sleeping in their cot.
Stroller
A stroller is the best option for babies who are able to sit in an infant car seat and is able to start walking independently. Strollers are easy to fold and compact, and usually fit in the trunk of the car. They're spacious enough to accommodate all of the necessities for your baby and provide a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet that can be used for napping in the car. The top strollers come with the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses making them a great choice for all new parents.
A lot of modern strollers and prams come with adaptors that make it possible to snap an automobile capsule into the chassis, allowing you to transfer your sleeping baby from car to stroller without disrupting them. This is a fantastic feature for busy parents on the go, as it allows you to run essential errands and not wake your baby or risk losing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated 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 on her adventures and they're a great choice for walking around town or traveling abroad, as they're simple to handle and can carry a significant amount of luggage. They're heavy and difficult to transport, and they aren't easy to fit in a small car trunk or taxi. However, their ease of use and space make them perfect for long walks.
The latest 3 in 1 prams come with an updated and modern design. They come with frames that fold up like an umbrella, and a portable baby seat or carrycot. They can be used from birth and are typically less bulky than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot is converted to a seat that will face your child's back and recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is a great option that comes with a infant car seat and a carryingcot as well as a pushchair.
Accessories
A pramette is a traditional pram but can fold down 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. Most of these convert into pushchairs so that your baby can lay flat from birth, and some can also convert into a travel system with the addition of car seats. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are among the brands that carry these.
A 3-in-1 travel set includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat. This is the ultimate in convenience.
