20 Reasons Why 2 In 1 Travel System Cannot Be Forgotten
Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram
The best 2 in 1 travel system prams make it simple to transition your baby from the car to stroller and back. These sets have been tested by editors and endorsed. They come with an infant seat that snaps onto the matching stroller frame for an easy ride.
Take note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats which are meant to stay in the car). Age and weight limits vary depending on the model.
Car Seat
A 2 in 1 travel system pram includes a car seat that clicks into the stroller and can also transform into a carrycot, which makes it the perfect one-stop shop for your baby's first few years. These prams cost more than standard strollers, but the convenience of moving your baby from the car to the stroller safely and without causing any disturbance to them makes it worth the extra price.
A contemporary take on an old-fashioned pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram combo is a favourite among parents. The Vista stroller is smooth and easy to maneuver and the Mesa infant car seat clip easily into your vehicle using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it simpler than other models to install. Plus, the pram can be used as a bassinet or in carriage mode and you can alter the seat's orientation to forward-facing or rear-facing based on your preference.
The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is another highly rated choice for parents who are new. Like the Doona it can be converted into a roll-up bassinet or stroller rocker 2 in 1 with the option of reclining seats that face your child to the rear or front of the stroller, based on their preference. It is simple to use and can accommodate two car seats.
There are many other options available. A majority of 2 in 1 travel system prams come with baby car seats and stroller that can be used from birth, however most car seats don't work with all strollers, so it's essential to conduct your research prior to purchasing. It's important to choose the right product that is compatible with your vehicle model and is able to be installed securely. Go through the manufacturer's instructions and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also check with your insurance company for roadside assistance if you require assistance in installing something or addressing another issue.
Carrycot
Carrycots are a simple to transport, small cot that can be affixed to a frame for a pram. It lets babies rest comfortably while traveling. It is ideal to use from birth until your baby can sit without assistance, which usually occurs at around six months. A carrycot is also an ideal alternative to a moses basket or crib and can be used as a travel cot when staying away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in 1 buggy and car seat in 1 travel system pram is usually flat and large. It helps your baby's natural position for sleep and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, such as the adorable Stargazer are also suitable for sleep at night and can be easily rolled up and stored when not in use.
Most 3 in 1 combination prams combine a car seat, a pushchair and carrycot, allowing you to select the best method of transport for every journey. They tend to be bulkier than their 2 in 1 pram in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who prefer the traditional pram style look. Many of these models come with the option of removing the pushchair seat unit and you can use it as a light stroller after your baby pushchair 2 In 1 is old enough to sit up and face you.
They are typically light and fold flat. This makes them easy to be tucked away in smaller vehicles. They have many features that make them more convenient. They include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.
If you are looking for a 2 in one travel system pram that includes a carrycot, check that the product you're considering is suitable for your child and is in line with the most recent European safety standards. Check, for example, that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant with the new standard EN1466:2023. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC :2015 and becomes obligatory in June 2024. Also look out for carrycot accessories like footmuffs, weather shields and tray dishes for both parents and children to help your child feel safe and comfortable while they sleep in their cot.
Stroller
If your child can comfortably sit in a car seat for infants and is able to walk on their own, a stroller could be the best option. Strollers are easy to fold and compact, and often fit into the boot of the car. They're big enough to store all baby's necessities and offer the comfort of a ride on rough terrain. Some come with a spacious bassinet, which allows napping while on the go. The top strollers come with modern safety features like 5-point harnesses making them a great choice for all new parents.
A lot of modern strollers and prams have adaptors that make possible to click the car capsule into the chassis which allows you to move your sleeping baby from car to stroller without disrupting them. This is a fantastic feature for parents who are always in motion. It allows them to do essential errands and not be able to disturb their child. The Doona travel system stroller is an excellent example of this; a lightweight and compact stroller that can be transformed into a comfortable carrycot and car seat group 0+ which makes it the ideal option for busy parents on the go.
They're easy to handle and can carry a large amount of luggage. They are heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to fit into a small trunk or taxi. However, their ease of use and roominess make them ideal for long walks.
The newer 3 in 1 prams have a more modern and sophisticated design. They feature a frame that folds up like an umbrella, and also a portable baby seat or carrycot. They can be used from birth and are generally smaller in size than traditional prams, while the carrycot can also be transformed into an infant seat that can face your child and recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is an excellent option that comes with a baby car seat and a carrycot as well as the pushchair.
Accessories
A pramette is like the traditional pram, but it can fold down much smaller and is great for travelling on trains that are busy or if your house doesn't have room for the full-size pram. Some of these can be converted into pushchairs, which means that your baby can sleep flat from birth. Others can be transformed into a travel system by adding the car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are some of the brands that stock these.
A 3-in-1 travel bundle includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat. This is the most convenient way to travel. Connect the car seat to the frame of the pushchair pram 2 in 1 and your baby can take a relaxing, peaceful trip from birth.
