Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1 travel system prams allow you to transfer your baby from car to stroller, and then back. Tested by an editor and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps into a matching frame for strollers to ensure a safe ride for your child.

Take note 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). Limits on weight and age vary by product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram includes an infant car seat that snaps into the stroller. It can also transform into an infant carrycot, making it the perfect one-stop shop for your baby's initial years. They are generally more expensive than standard strollers, however, the convenience and security of moving your newborn from your car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is well 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 2 in 1 is able to glide easily, and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped into your vehicle using UPPAbaby’s Smart Secure LATCH System, making it easier to install than other models. The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also alter the direction of your seat from forward-facing to rear-facing according to your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is an additional highly rated product for new parents. It can be converted into a rolling stroller or bassinet, and the reclining seat can be placed in either direction, based on the child's preference. It is simple to use and can accommodate two car seats.

There are plenty of other options available, too. Many 2 in 1 travel system prams come with baby car seats and stroller that can be used from birth, however most of those car seats don't work with all strollers, which is why it's important to do your research prior to purchasing. The important thing is to purchase a high-quality product that is compatible with your particular car model and is safe to be installed. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also inquire with your insurance company if it offers roadside assistance in case you require assistance in installing something or addressing other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that is attached to the frame of a pram, allowing newborns to sleep comfortably while traveling. It's ideal for use from birth until your child is able to sit up unassisted, usually at around 6 months. A carrycot can be used as an alternative to a crib or a moses basket. It could also serve as a bed to use when you're away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in 1 travel system with car seat in1 travel system pram is generally large and flat. It assists your baby's natural position for sleep and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, like the didofy Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleep and can be folded and stored when they are not being used.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams pair the pushchair with a car seat or carrycot, so you can select the best mode of transport for your trip. These are bulkier than the 2 in 1 models, and can be preferred for parents who prefer a traditional pram design. Many of these models also offer the ability to remove the seat for the pushchair, so you can use it as a light stroller after your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

2 in 1 pram in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots usually come with a light chassis that folds flat, making them smaller and easier to fit into smaller vehicles. They have many features that make them more practical. They include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.

When shopping for a 2 in 1 buggy in one travel system pram that includes a carrycot, check that the product you are considering is suitable for your child and conforms to the latest European safety standards. For example, check that the carrycot meets the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the previous EN 0+:2014+AC:2015, and will become obligatory by June 2024). Also, look for carrycot accessories such as footmuffs weather shields, and tray dishes for both parents and children to help your little one feel safe and comfortable while they sleep in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is ideal for babies who are able to sit in a car seat that is for infants and is now ready to start walking on their own. Strollers are easy to fold and compact, and usually fit in the trunk of the car. They're spacious enough to accommodate all of baby's necessities and offer the comfort of a ride on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet to allow for napping while on the move. The best strollers are equipped with the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are an excellent choice for those who are new parents.

Modern prams and strollers 2 in 1 come with adaptors which allow you to attach an automobile capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your baby to sleep without disrupting them. This is an excellent feature for busy parents who are always on the move, as it allows you to run essential errands without having to wake your baby or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a compact stroller that can be transformed into a carrycot or group 0+ child seat.

They're easy to handle and can hold a lot of luggage. They're heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to fit into a trunk of a car or taxi. However, their comfort and spaciousness make them ideal for long walks.

The latest 3 in 1 prams have more modern and sophisticated design. They have a frame that folds up like an umbrella, and a portable baby seat or carrycot. These can be used at birth and are smaller in size than traditional prams. Additionally, the carrycot can be converted to an upright seat that will face your child's face and recline when they're ready. Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is an excellent option that comes with an infant car seat and carryingcot as well as a pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller model of a pram. It is perfect for travel on trains that are crowded or if you don't have the space in your home to store a large stroller. The majority of them convert to pushchairs so that your child can sleep flat from birth, and some be converted into a travel system with the addition of car seats. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are a few brands that carry these.

A 3-in-1 travel set includes a carrycot, pushchair and car seat. This is the most convenient way to travel.

When your baby is old enough, you can change the pram into a stroller and give an updated take on the classic look. The Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System bundle is a great illustration of this.
