Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The most effective 2 in 1 travel system prams make it simple to transfer your baby from the car to stroller and back again. Tested by an editor and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps into a matching frame for strollers to ensure a smooth ride for your child.

Be aware that these car seats can only be used with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, which are meant to stay in the car). The age and weight limitations vary for each product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram includes a car seat that clicks into the stroller and can also transform into a carrycot, making it a one-stop shop for your baby's first few years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, but the convenience 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 cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combo is a modern version of the traditional pram. It is a favourite 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 simpler than other models to install. Plus, the pram can be used as a bassinet, or in carriage mode, and you can switch the orientation of the seat to forward-facing or rear-facing based on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combination is another highly-rated product that is ideal for parents with young children. It can be transformed into a stroller that can be turned into a rolling bassinet and the reclining seat can be positioned to face your child in either direction, depending on his or her preference. It is simple to use and can accommodate two car seats.

There are alternatives to choose from. Many cheap 2 in 1 prams in 1 travel systems come with a stroller and a car seat that can be used right from the time of birth. However, most of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. It is essential to purchase a high-quality product that is compatible with the specific car model you have and that can be safely installed. Review the manufacturer's guidelines and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to find out if they offer roadside assistance if you need help with an installation or other issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is an easy-to-transport small crib that can be connected to a frame for a pram. It lets babies rest comfortably while on the go. It is ideal to use from birth until your baby can sit up without assistance, which is typically around six months. A carrycot can also be used as an alternative to a crib or a moses basket. It could also serve as a travel bed when you are away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in1 travel system pram is typically large and flat. It supports your baby's natural sleeping position and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, such as the adorable Stargazer can also be used for sleeping at night and can be easily collapsed and stored away when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams pair a pushchair with a car seat or carrycot, so you can choose the most suitable mode of transport for your trip. They are more bulky than 2 in 1 models and may be preferred by parents who prefer a traditional pram design. These models often have the option to remove the pushchair so that they can be used as strollers that are lightweight once your child is old enough to sit straight and face you.

Make sure whether the 2 in 1 travel system and the carrycot you are thinking of is suitable and complies with the most recent European safety standard. For instance, make sure whether the carrycot is compliant with the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the old EN 0+:2014+AC:2015, and will become obligatory by June 2024). Check for accessories for the carrycot such as weather shields and footmuffs. You can also find parent and child trays.

Stroller

If your baby is able to comfortably sit in a car-seat for infants and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller could be the best option. Strollers are easy to fold and are usually compact enough to fit in the boot of your car. They are spacious enough to accommodate all your baby's needs and also offer the most comfortable ride for your child, even on rough terrain. Some have a spacious bassinet to enable naps while traveling. The most reliable strollers come with the latest safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are an excellent choice for parents who are just starting out.

Modern strollers and prams include adaptors that permit you to attach a car capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your baby to sleep without disrupting them. This is a fantastic feature for parents who are always on the go, since it allows you to run important errands without having wake your child or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a stroller that is lightweight which can be converted into a carrycot, or a group child seat for 0+.

They are suitable for use at birth, and are less bulky than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be turned into a seat that faces your child that can recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is an excellent option that comes with an infant car seat and carryingcot as well as the pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is similar to an ordinary pram, but folds much smaller and is perfect for traveling on trains with a lot of traffic or if you don't have enough space for an entire pram. Some of them can be converted into pushchairs, so that your baby can lie flat from birth. Others can be transformed into a travel system by adding an automobile seat. Some of the brands that carry these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.
