Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The most efficient 2 in 1, travel system prams allow you to effortlessly transition your baby between the stroller and a car. These sets have been tested by editors and approved. They come with an infant seat that snaps into the stroller frame to ensure an easy ride.

Please be aware that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, that is intended to remain in the vehicle). Limits on weight and age vary depending on the model.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 car seat stroller in 1 travel system pram includes an infant car seat that snaps into the stroller and can also transform into a carrycot, which makes it a one-stop shop for your baby's first years. They tend to be more expensive than a standard stroller, but the convenience and safety of moving your newborn from the car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is well worth the extra cost.

A contemporary take on a traditional pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram combination is a popular pick among parents. The Vista stroller is smooth and easy to maneuver, and the Mesa infant car seat clip easily into your vehicle using 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 change the seat's direction to forward-facing or rear-facing based on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is another highly rated option for parents who are new. Like the Doona, it can convert into a rolling bassinet, or stroller with the option of reclining seats that face your child to the rear or front of the stroller based on their preference. It is easy to use, and can accommodate two car seats.

There are a variety of other options available as well. Many 2 in 1 travel systems include a stroller and car seat that can be used from the time of birth. However, most of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. It is essential to get a quality product that is compatible with your specific car model and is safe to be installed. Check the manufacturer's guidelines and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also inquire with your insurance provider for roadside assistance if you need help installing something or dealing with other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is an easy-to-transport, small cot that can be affixed to a frame for a pram. It lets newborns rest comfortably while traveling. It is a great option to use from birth up until your baby is able to sit without assistance, which usually occurs at about six months. A carrycot is an ideal alternative to the moses basket or crib and can double up as a travel cot if you are you are away from home. The carrycot that comes with two-in-one travel system pram typically has a wide flat base that is designed to accommodate your baby's natural sleeping position, which promotes healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, including the adorable Stargazer, are also suitable for sleep at night and can be easily folded and stored away when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination pram systems combine the pushchair, car seat and a carrycot, so you can select the best mode of transport for each journey. They tend to be bulkier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who like the traditional look of prams. These models typically come with the option of removing the pushchair, so you can use them as strollers that are lightweight once your child is old enough to sit straight and face you.

They are typically light and fold flat. This makes them easy to be tucked away in smaller vehicles. They also come with a range of features that make them more practical including large shopping baskets, as well as rain covers.

When you are shopping for a 2- in 1 travel system pram with a carrycot, check whether the product you're contemplating is suitable for your child and is in line with the most recent European safety standards. 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 be mandatory by June 2024). Look out for carrycot accessories such as weather shields and footmuffs. Also, you can find tray for both children and parents.

Stroller

If your baby is able to comfortably sit in an infant car-seat and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller could be the best option. Strollers fold easily and compact, and usually fit in the trunk of the car. They come with plenty of storage space to allow for all of your baby's needs and also provide a comfortable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Some models come with a large bassinet that allows for naps on the move. The best 2 in 1 pram strollers are fitted with the most recent safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are an excellent choice for parents who are just starting out.

Many modern prams and strollers have adaptors that make it possible to snap an automobile capsule into the chassis which allows you to move your sleepy baby from car to pushchair without disturbing them. This is a great feature for parents who are constantly on the go, as it allows you to complete important errands without having wake your child or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller that can be transformed into a carrycot, or a group 0+ child seat.

They are easy to handle and carry a large amount of luggage. They're heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to fit into a small trunk or taxi. However, their comfort and roominess make them ideal for long walks.

The newer 3 in 1 prams feature a more modern and sophisticated design. They feature frames that fold up like an umbrella, and also a portable baby seat or carrycot. These can be used from birth and are generally smaller than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot can be converted to an upright seat that will face your child and recline when they're ready. Our range includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a great value option that includes an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller version of a pram. It is perfect for travel on trains that are crowded or in the event that you don't have the space to store a larger stroller. Most of these convert into pushchairs so that your baby can lie flat from birth, and some can also convert into a travel set-up with the addition of car seats. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are some of the brands who stock these.
