This History Behind 2 In 1 Travel System Is One That Will Haunt You Forever!

Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1 travel system prams make it easy to transition your child from car to stroller and back again. These sets are editor-tested and endorsed. They come with a baby seat that snaps onto the matching stroller frame for a smooth ride.

Note that these car seats only work with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats which are designed to remain in the car). The age and weight restrictions vary by product.

Car Seat

A 2-in-1 travel system pram comes with car seats that can be plugged into the stroller. It can also be converted into the carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's first years. They are generally more expensive than standard strollers, however, the convenience and security of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is well worth the extra cost.

A modern interpretation of an old-fashioned pram, UPPAbaby car seat and pram combo is a favourite for parents. The Vista stroller glides easily, and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped to your car 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 a bassinet. You can also alter the direction of your seat from rear-facing to forward-facing, depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is an additional highly rated product for new parents. Similar to the Doona it can also be converted 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 preferences. It's easy to use and an excellent option if you are planning to purchase an additional car seat for older children because it can fit two seats.

There are alternatives to choose from. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems include a stroller and a car seat that can be used from the moment of birth. However, many of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. The important thing is to purchase a high-quality product that works with your specific car model and is safe to be installed. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website as well as the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to see whether they provide roadside assistance if you need help with installation or another problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that is attached to a pram frame and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while out and about. It's perfect for use from birth until your baby can sit up unassisted, usually at around 6 months. A carrycot is also an excellent alternative to a moses basket or crib and can also double as a travel cot if you are you are away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in 1 travel system pram is usually flat and large. It helps your baby's natural sleeping position and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, like the doofy Stargazer, are also suitable for overnight sleeping and can be easily rolled up and stored when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 prams combine a car seat, a pushchair and carrycot, allowing you to pick the most suitable method of transport for every journey. They tend to be bulkier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who like the traditional pram style look. Many of these models also offer the ability to remove the seat for the pushchair and you can make it a lighter stroller once your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

They are usually lightweight and fold flat. This makes them easier to be tucked away in smaller vehicles.  Pushchairs & Prams  are equipped with many features that make them more practical. These include large shopping baskets, rain covers and lightweight chassis.

Verify whether the 2 in 1 travel system and a carrycot that you are considering is suitable and complies with the latest European safety standard. For instance, make sure that the carrycot is compliant to the new standard EN1466-2023. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC :2015 and becomes obligatory in June 2024. Look out for carrycot accessories such as weather shields and footmuffs. You can also find parent and child trays.

Stroller

A stroller is ideal for babies who are able to sit in an infant car seat and is now ready to start walking independently. Strollers can be folded easily, are compact and often fit in the boot of your car. They come with plenty of storage space to accommodate all of your baby's needs. They also offer an enjoyable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Some models come with a large bassinet, which allows napping while on the move. The most effective strollers include modern safety features such as 5-point harnesses, making them the ideal choice for all new parents.

Modern prams and strollers include adaptors that permit you to connect a car capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your sleeping baby without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature for parents who are always on the move. It allows them to do essential errands and not have to disturb their baby. The Doona travel system stroller is a great example of this. It's it is a compact and lightweight stroller that transforms into a cozy carrycot as well as a car seat group 0+ which makes it the ideal choice for parents traveling.

They are simple to carry 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 ease of use and space make them perfect for long walks.

The newer 3 in 1 prams feature an updated and modern design. They come with a frame that folds up like an umbrella, as well as a removable baby seat or carrycot. These are able to be used from birth and are generally smaller than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot is transformed into an infant seat that can face your child's back and recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is an excellent option that comes with an infant car seat and a carrycot as well as a pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is like a traditional pram but folds much smaller and is perfect for traveling on trains that are busy or if you don't have room for a full-size pram. The majority of them convert to pushchairs so that your child can lie flat from birth, and some can also convert into a travel system by the addition of car seats. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are a few brands who stock these.

A 3-in-1 travel system includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat for maximum convenience. Simply snap the car seat onto the pushchair frame, and your baby will enjoy comfortable, peaceful excursions out of the house from the moment of birth. When your baby is old enough, you can turn the pram to a stroller and have an updated take on the traditional design. The Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System bundle is a great illustration of this. It comes with an Carrycot and Infant car seat, which is suitable for use from the time of birth.
