Car Seat

A 2 in 1, travel system pram has a car seat that can be put into the stroller. It can also be converted into an infant carrycot. This makes it a one-stop shop for your baby's initial years. They are generally more expensive than standard strollers, but the convenience and safety of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing them is worth the extra cost.

There are other options available. Many 2 in 1 travel systems include a stroller and car seat that can be used right from birth. However, the majority of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. It's important to choose a product that is compatible with your vehicle model and is able to be installed safely. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to see whether they provide roadside assistance in case you require assistance in a installation or any other issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a convenient to transport small crib that can be connected to a pram frame. It lets newborns sleep in comfort while on the go. It's perfect for use from birth until the time your baby is able to sit up unaided, typically around 6 months. A carrycot is also a great alternative to a moses basket or crib and can double up as a travel cot when you are away from home. The carrycot that comes with a 2 in 1 pram that is a travel system typically has a wide flat base that is designed to accommodate your baby's natural sleep position, which aids healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots such as the didofy Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleep and can be folded and stored away when not being used.

Most 3 in 1 combination prams combine a pushchair, car seat and a carrycot, so you can pick the most suitable method of transport for every journey. These are bulkier than the cheap 2 in 1 Prams in 1 models, and can be preferred by parents who prefer a classic pram style. A lot of these models have the facility to remove the seat for the pushchair which allows you to use it as a light stroller when your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

They are usually light and fold flat. This makes them easier to fit into smaller vehicles. They come with a variety of features that make them more convenient. These include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.

When shopping for a 2 in one travel system pram that includes a carrycot, make sure that the product you're contemplating is suitable for your child and meets the latest 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). Check for accessories for the carrycot such as weather shields and footmuffs. Also, you can find the trays for children and parents.

Stroller

If your baby can sit comfortably in a car-seat for infants and is able to walk on their own, a stroller may be the best option. Strollers can be folded easily and are small enough to can be tucked away in the trunk of your car. They're big enough to hold all of the necessities for your baby and provide the comfort of a ride on rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet that can be used for napping in the car. The best strollers are equipped with the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses. They are a great option for new parents.

Modern strollers and prams come with adaptors which allow you to connect a car capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your sleeping baby without disturbing them. This is a great feature for parents who are constantly on the go, as it lets you complete important errands without having wake your baby or risk losing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller which can be converted into a carrycot, or a group baby 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 travelling to other countries, since they're easy to operate and can hold a huge amount of luggage. They are heavy and difficult to transport, and they aren't easy to fit into a small trunk or taxi. However, their comfort and roominess make them ideal for long walks.

The more recent 3 in 1 pram systems are more modern and contemporary design, featuring frames that can be closed like an umbrella and a convertible baby seat or carrycot. These can be used from birth and are generally less bulky than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot can be converted to an infant seat that can face your child and recline when they're ready. Our choice includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is a great option that comes with a baby car seat and carryingcot as well as the pushchair.

Accessories
