The best 2-in-1 travel system prams make it simple to transition your baby from car to stroller, and then back. Editor-tested and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps into a matching frame for strollers to ensure a comfortable 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 designed to stay in the vehicle). Weight and age limits differ by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram includes car seats that can be plugged into the stroller. It can also be transformed into a carrycot. This makes it a one-stop shop for your baby's early years. They tend to be more expensive than standard strollers however the ease and security of moving your infant from the car to the stroller with no disturbance is worth the extra cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combination offers a modern twist on the traditional pram. It is a favorite among parents. The Vista stroller is a smooth ride, and the Mesa infant car seat clips easily into your vehicle via UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it much easier than other models to install. The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as a bassinet. You can also switch the orientation of your seat from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is a highly rated product for parents who are new. Like the Doona it can be converted into a roll-up bassinet or stroller with the option of reclining seats that face your child to the rear or front of the stroller based on their preferences. It's easy to use and can be an excellent option if you are planning to purchase a second car seat for older siblings since it can accommodate two seats.

There are a variety of other options out there, too. Many 2 in 1 stroller car seat in 1 travel systems include an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used from birth. However, most of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. The most important thing is to choose a product that can work with the specific car model you have and is safe to be installed. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to see if they offer roadside assistance in case you require assistance in a installation or any other problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that is attached to the frame of a pram and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while traveling. It's ideal from birth until the time your baby can sit up without assistance, typically at around 6 months. A carrycot is also an excellent alternative to a moses basket or crib and can double up as a travel cot for those away from home. The carrycot on two-in-one travel system pram typically has a wide, flat base and is designed to support your baby's natural sleep position, which helps in healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots like the didofy Stargazer are suitable for overnight sleep and can be easily folded and stored when they are not being used.

Most 3 in 1 combination prams include the pushchair, car seat and carrycot, allowing you to choose the right method of transport for every journey. They are heavier than 2 in 1 models, and can be preferred by parents who prefer a traditional pram design. Many of these models come with the option of removing the seat for the pushchair and you can use it as a lightweight stroller after your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots usually come with a light chassis and fold flat, making them smaller and easier to fit into smaller cars. They also have a range of features that make them more convenient, such as large shopping baskets and rain covers.

Make sure whether the 2 in 1 travel system that includes a carrycot that you are considering is safe and conforms to the most recent European safety standard. For instance, make sure that the carrycot is in compliance with the new EN1466:2023 standard. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015 and will become obligatory in June 2024. Also, look for carrycot accessories such as footmuffs, weather shields and parent and child trays to ensure that your child will feel comfortable and secure when they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is the best option when your baby is able to sit in a car seat for infants and is ready to begin walking on their own. Strollers are easy to fold, compact and can typically fit in the boot of a car. They are spacious enough to allow for all of your baby's needs and also provide an enjoyable ride for your child, even on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet that can be used for napping in the car. The best strollers are fitted with the latest safety features, like 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for those who are new parents.

Modern prams and strollers have adaptors that allow you to attach an automobile capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your baby to sleep without disrupting them. This is a great feature for busy parents on the go, since it allows you to run essential errands and not wake your baby or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best illustrated by the Doona travel system, a stroller that is lightweight which can be converted into a carrycot or a group 0+ child seat.

They're easy to handle and carry a large amount of luggage. They're heavy and difficult to transport and they aren't easy to fit into a small trunk or taxi. However, their comfort and space make them perfect for long walks.

The newer 3 in 1 prams have a more modern and sophisticated design. They come with a frame that folds up like an umbrella, as well as a convertible baby seat or carrycot that can be removed. They can be used at birth and are smaller than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot can be transformed into an upright seat that will face your child's back and recline when they're ready. Our range includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a excellent value option that comes with an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is like an ordinary pram, but is much smaller in size and is perfect for traveling on busy trains or if you don't have enough space for the full-size pram. Most of these convert into pushchairs so that your child can sleep flat from birth, and some be converted into a travel system by the addition of a car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are some of the brands who stock these.
