Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram includes a car seat which can be put into the stroller. It can also be converted into a carrycot. This makes it a one-stop shop for your baby's early years. They are generally more expensive than a standard stroller, however the ease and security of moving your newborn from your car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is well worth the additional cost.

The Vista stroller is a smooth ride, and the Mesa infant car seat clips easily into your vehicle using 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 an infant bassinet. You can also switch the seat's orientation from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.

There are plenty of alternatives available as well. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems include an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used right from the time of birth. However, the majority of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. It's important to choose the right product that is compatible with your vehicle model and is able to be installed securely. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also check with your insurance company for roadside assistance if you require help installing something or dealing with other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a convenient to transport small cot that can be attached to a frame for a pram. It lets newborns sleep comfortably on the go. It is a great option to use from birth until your baby can sit without assistance, which is usually around six months. A carrycot can be used as a substitute to a crib or moses basket. It can also double up as a bed to use while you are away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in 1 car seat and pram in1 travel system pram is generally large and flat. It supports your baby's natural sleeping position and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots like the adorable Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleep and can be easily folded and stored away when not being used.

Most 3 in 1 combination pram systems combine the pushchair, car seat and a carrycot, so you can pick the most suitable mode of transport for each journey. They are generally heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who appreciate the classic look of a pram. These models often offer the option of removing the pushchair unit so that you can use them as lightweight strollers once your child is old enough to sit up straight and face you.

2 in 1 baby pram in 1 travel system prams with a carrycot usually feature a lightweight chassis and fold flat, making them more compact and can easily fit into smaller cars. They also come with a variety of features that make them more practical including large shopping baskets and rain covers.

When you are 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 complies with the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the earlier EN zero+:2014+AC, 2015 and will be obligatory by June 2024). Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot like footmuffs and weather shields. There are also the trays for children and parents.

Stroller

A stroller is ideal when your baby is able to sit in an infant car seat and is now ready to start walking on their own. Strollers fold easily, compact and can often fit into the boot of cars. They are spacious enough to allow for all of your baby's necessities and will also provide an enjoyable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet for naps while on the move. The most reliable strollers come with the latest safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are an excellent choice for new parents.

Modern comfortable prams and strollers come with adaptors which allow you to connect an automobile 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 always on the go, since it allows you to run essential errands without having to wake your baby or risk losing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller that can be transformed into a carrycot or group 0+ child seat.

Real prams are the silvercross sprung things Mary Poppins would take on her travels and are a great choice for walking around town or traveling abroad, as they're easy to manage and can carry a large amount of baggage. 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 come with more modern and sophisticated design. They come with frames that fold up like an umbrella, as well as a portable baby seat or carrycot. They can be used from birth and are generally less bulky than traditional prams, while the carrycot can be converted to a seat that will face your child and recline when they're ready. Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is an excellent choice that comes with an infant car seat and a carrycot as well as a pushchair.

Accessories

Some of the brands that stock these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel package includes a carrycot, pushchair and car seat. This is the most convenient way to travel. Put the car seat in the frame of the pushchair and your baby can take a relaxing, peaceful trip from the moment of birth. Then, you can switch to a stroller once your baby is ready and you'll be able to enjoy a modern take on the traditional pram look. This is beautifully illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It comes with a Carrycot and Infant car seat, which is suitable for use starting from birth.
