Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1 pushchair in 1 travel system prams make it easy to transfer your child from car to stroller, and then back. Editor-tested and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps onto a stroller frame to ensure a safe ride for your child.

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). The age and weight restrictions vary by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 bassinet stroller in 1, travel system pram comes with a car seat which can be put into the stroller. It can also be converted into the carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's early years. They tend to be more expensive than standard strollers, but the convenience and safety of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing them is worth the extra cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combination is a modern version of 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 into your vehicle with UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it simpler to install than other models. Additionally, the stroller can be used as a bassinet, or in carriage mode, and you can switch the seat's direction between rear-facing and forward-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is an additional highly rated option for parents who are just starting out. Like the Doona it can also be converted into a rolling bassinet or stroller 2 in 1 car seat with an adjustable seat that can face your child to the rear or front of the stroller, based on their preferences. It's simple to use and can be an ideal option if plan on buying an additional car seat for older siblings because it can hold up to two seats.

There are many other options available. Many 2 in 1 pram pushchair in 1 travel systems come with an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used right from the moment of birth. However, the majority of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. It is essential to choose a product that can work with your specific car model and that can be safely installed. Check the manufacturer's guidelines and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to inquire whether they provide roadside assistance should you need help with installation or another problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact, portable cot that attaches to the frame of a pram, allowing newborns to sleep comfortably while on the move. It is ideal to use from birth until your baby is able stand up on their own without assistance, which is typically around six months. A carrycot is also an ideal alternative to a crib or moses basket and can also double as a travel cot for those staying away from home. The carrycot that comes with a 2 in 1 pram for travel typically has a wide, flat base and is designed to help your baby's natural sleeping position which aids healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, including the doofy Stargazer are also suitable for sleep at night and can be easily collapsed and stored away when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams are able to combine the pushchair with a car seat or carrycot, so you can select the best mode of transport for your trip. They are generally heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who like the classic look of a pram. Many of these models also have the facility to remove the pushchair seat unit and you can use it as a light stroller once your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that feature carrycots usually have a lightweight chassis that folds flat, making them more compact and easy to fit into smaller cars. They have many features that make them more convenient. These include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.

Verify whether the 2 in 1 travel system that includes the carrycot you are thinking of is suitable and meets the latest European safety standard. For example, check that the carrycot meets the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the previous EN 0+:2014+AC:2015 and will be obligatory by June 2024). Also look out for carrycot accessories such as footmuffs weather shields, and parent and child trays to help your child feel comfy and secure while they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is a great option for babies who are capable of sitting in an infant car seat and is ready to begin walking independently. Strollers fold easily, compact and can typically fit in the boot of a car. They're spacious enough to hold all of the necessities for your baby and provide a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain. Some have a spacious bassinet, which allows napping while traveling. The best strollers are equipped with the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are a great option for those who are new parents.

Modern prams and strollers have adaptors that allow you to connect a car capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your baby to sleep without disturbing them. This is a great feature for parents who are constantly on the go, as it lets you complete essential errands and not wake your child or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller that can be transformed into a carrycot, or a group baby seat.

They are simple to carry and can carry a large amount of luggage. However, they're heavy to carry and are difficult to fit into a taxi or small trunk of your vehicle, but they are ideal for long walks because of their space and the comfort they offer.

Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a excellent value option that comes with an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

A pramette is the traditional pram, but it is much smaller in size and is perfect for traveling on busy trains or in the event that your home doesn't have room for an entire pram. Some of these can be converted into pushchairs, so your baby can lay flat from birth. Others can be transformed into a travel system by adding an automobile seat. Some of the brands that sell these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel bundle includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat. This is the ultimate in convenience.
