Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1 travel system prams let you easily switch your child between the stroller and a car. Editor-tested and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps onto a stroller frame to ensure a smooth ride for your child.

Please take 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). Weight and age limits differ depending on the model.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram comes with an infant car seat that snaps into the stroller. It also has the ability to transform into a carrycot, which makes it a one-stop shop for your baby's first years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, however the ease of moving your baby from the car to the stroller in a safe manner and without causing any disturbance to them is worth the extra price.

The UPPAbaby pram and car combo is a modern version of the traditional pram. It is a popular choice by parents. The Vista stroller is smooth and easy to maneuver and the Mesa infant car seat is clipped easily into your vehicle using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it easier than other models to install. The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also change the orientation of your seat from rear-facing to forward-facing, according to your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combo is another highly-rated product that is ideal for parents who are new. Similar to the Doona it can also be converted into a rolling bassinet, or stroller with the option of reclining seats that face your child from the front or back of the stroller, depending on their preference. It is easy to use and can accommodate two car seats.

There are plenty of alternatives available and they are also available. Many 2 in 1 travel systems include a stroller and car seat that can be used right from birth. However, many of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. The most important thing is to get a quality product that can work with your particular car model and that can be safely installed. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also inquire with your insurance company for roadside assistance in case you require help installing something or dealing with another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small, portable cot that attaches to a pram frame and allows infants to rest comfortably while traveling. It's perfect for use from birth until your baby is able to sit unassisted, usually at around 6 months. A carrycot can also be used as a substitute to a crib or moses basket. It can also be used as a travel bed when you're away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in 1 travel system pram is generally large and flat. It supports your baby's natural position for sleep and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots such as the doofy Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleeping and can be easily folded and stored when they are not being used.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams combine a pushchair with an infant car seat or carrycot, so you can pick the best method of transport for your journey. These are bulkier than the 2 in 1 models, and can be preferred for parents who prefer a classic pram look. Many of these models come with the option of removing the seat for the pushchair which allows you to use it as a lightweight stroller when your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that feature carrycots typically have a lightweight chassis that folds flat, making them more compact and easy to fit into smaller cars. They also come with a variety of features that make them more convenient including large shopping baskets and rain covers.

When shopping for a 2 in 1 travel system pram and a carrycot, check that the product you are considering is suitable for your child and meets the latest European safety standards. For  2 in 1 pushchair , you can ensure that the carrycot is in compliance with the new standard EN1466:2023. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015, which will be mandatory in June 2024. Check for accessories for the carrycot like footmuffs and weather shields. You can also find tray for both children and parents.

Stroller

If your baby can comfortably sit in a car seat for infants and is able to walk on their own, a stroller may be the best option. Strollers are easy to fold, compact and can usually fit in the trunk of cars. They are spacious enough to accommodate all of your baby's needs. They also offer a comfortable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet to allow for napping while on the move. The most effective strollers include the latest safety features such as 5-point harnesses, making them the ideal option for any new parent.

A lot of modern strollers and prams have adaptors that make it possible to click a car capsule into the chassis which allows you to transfer your sleeping baby from car to stroller without disrupting them. This is a great feature for busy parents who are always on the move, as it lets you complete essential errands and not wake your child or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a compact stroller that can be converted 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 ideal for strolling around town or travelling abroad, as they're simple to handle and can carry a large amount of baggage. 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 spaciousness make them ideal for long walks.

The newer 3 in 1 prams feature a more modern and sophisticated design. They feature frames that fold like an umbrella, and also a removable baby seat or carrycot. They are suitable for use from birth and are lighter than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be turned into a seat facing your child's back that reclines when they're ready. Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a good value choice that includes an infant car seat, a carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is an ordinary pram, but is much smaller in size and is great for travelling on trains that are busy or if you don't have space to keep the full-size pram. The majority of them convert to pushchairs, so that your baby can lay flat from birth, and some be converted into a travel system by the inclusion of a car seat. Some of the brands that stock these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel bundle includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat. This is the most convenient way to travel. You simply click the coordinating car seat onto the frame of your pushchair and your baby will enjoy peace and comfort on trips out from birth. You can then switch to a stroller when your baby is in the right place, and you'll have an eye-catching modern take on the traditional pram look. The Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System bundle is a great illustration of this. It comes with a Carrycot and Infant car seat, which is suitable for use starting from birth.
