What to Look Out For in a Prams Travel System

A pram travel system makes life with a newborn so much simpler. They can be purchased in bundles, or in separate pieces depending on the family's needs.

It is very convenient to be able take a sleeping baby from the car to the pram, and then head to the store or the nursery. You can keep your child facing rear for longer if you select a seat that is reversible.

Convenience

The first few weeks following the birth of your baby can be a whirlwind of nights of sleepless nights, endless nappies changes and organising everything that is required for your new adventure. Many parents opt for a prams-travel system, which includes everything they need for their baby, including a car seat that is compatible with the stroller.

By attaching a compatible infant car seat to the stroller frame and using a carrycot or lie-flat pushchair for your baby is an attractive modern-day version of a traditional pram that will fit your baby from birth and through the initial few years.

You can then move your baby who is sleeping in the car to the pram or vice versa without waking them. This is especially beneficial for parents who have to go shopping or run errands and are trying to keep from disrupting their precious slumber. It is also convenient for parents who are second-time parents who depend on lifts and rely on their own vehicle to travel to work and Pushchairs return from work, rather than taking a taxi or using public transportation.

A lot of baby strollers or prams come with a spacious bassinet, or carry unit, that can be used as a comfortable infant car seat. These are called 3 in 1 prams and they are an excellent choice for a new parent who needs a relaxed practical solution to get out and about.

When your child is able to sit up, you will be able to remove the infant car seats from the stroller. Then, you can use the stroller in the same way as you normally would. Your child will be at ease in their car seat, and you can use your hands to carry bags, food and drinks.

If you prefer to buy an additional pram and car seat, many models from leading brands snap together or come with adapters to fit different infant car seats so you can create your own custom travel solution for your family. This is a great choice for those who already have a favourite pram or stroller that they want to keep using, as you can save money by buying a new car seat and a new pram from scratch.

Safety

A travel system's biggest drawcard is that it makes getting your child out and into the car a breeze - which first-time parents find invaluable during those school and daycare drop-offs. Additionally, it's a tired parent proof as the capsule can be moved seamlessly from car to pram without waking up your child. While capsules can be used from birth until 12 months most parents prefer a convertible 0-4-year seat that can be rear-facing for the duration of time your child requires it.

Flexibility

Choosing a stroller for your child can be a tangled mess, especially for parents who are first-time parents. There are many things to consider, from the advantages of a newborn bassinet to deciding whether a stroller that includes a car seat is suitable for your family. Our experts, fathers and mothers, have put together their top suggestions for what to look for in a travel system bundle for prams to make it easier for you.

A travel system offers the convenience to be able to move a sleeping baby directly from the car to pram without having to disturb him. This is especially useful for drop-offs at school and daycare, as well as running errands in the city. This lets you spend more time outdoors rather than trying to balance multiple devices in your car.

Many travel systems have adjustable handles and swivel wheels that let you move them around in narrow aisles or on busy roads. This is an advantage for second-time parents who may already be suffering from some discomforts and aches from the first time around!

A good quality all-in-one pram travel system should be lightweight and compact when folded. It should also have features that are simple to use, like a one-handed fold. This allows you to quickly and safely get your pram back in action. It should also be compatible with a large variety of accessories, like sunshades, waterproof covers and even sibling straps or seats. This allows you to add to your travel system as your child grows and you can adjust to their evolving requirements.

Customisation

Travel systems allow you to personalize your pram right from birth. You can add a carrycot or car seat to your pushchair to make a 3 in 1 pram-in-1 travel pushchair system. This will keep your baby throughout their early years. You can mix and combine our bundles to create the travel system that is best suited to your requirements. It might mean swapping out the infant car seat for an easy-to-use car seat with high safety ratings, for example.
