The most efficient 2 in 1 travel system prams let you effortlessly transition your child between the stroller and a car. Tested by an editor and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps into a matching stroller frame to ensure a safe ride for your child.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram includes car seats that can be plugged into the stroller and can also transform into a carrycot, which makes it the perfect one-stop shop for your baby's first years. They can be more expensive than standard strollers but the convenience and safety of moving your infant from your car to the stroller with no disturbance is well worth the additional cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combo provides a modern take on the traditional pram. It is a favourite among parents. 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 simpler than other models to install. Additionally, the stroller can be used as a bassinet or in carriage mode and you can change the seat's orientation between rear-facing and forward-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is an additional highly rated product for parents who are new. Like the Doona, it can convert into a roll-up bassinet or stroller with an adjustable seat that can face your child to the front or back of the stroller based on their preference. It's easy to use and is an excellent option if you are planning to purchase an additional car seat for older siblings because it can fit up to two seats.

There are plenty of alternatives available, too. Many 2 in 1 travel systems prams include 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 crucial to do your research before you buy. It is essential to choose a product that is compatible with your particular car model and that is safe to be installed. Go to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website and the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also check with your insurance company for roadside assistance in case you require assistance installing something or dealing with other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pram, allowing babies to sleep comfortably when on the move. It is ideal to use from birth until your baby is able stand up on their own without assistance, which is typically around six months. A carrycot can also be used as an alternative to a crib or a moses basket. It could also serve as a bed for travel when you are away from home. The carrycot in the 2 in 1 pram for travel typically has a wide flat base, and is designed to accommodate your baby's natural sleeping position which aids healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots like the didofy Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleep and can be easily folded and stored when they are not being used.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams are able to combine the pushchair with the option of a car seat or a carrycot, allowing you to select the best mode of transport for your trip. These are bulkier than the 2 in 1 models, and can be preferred by parents who prefer a traditional pram design. These models usually have the option to remove the pushchair, so you can use them as lightweight strollers once your child is old enough to sit straight and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams with carrycots typically have a lightweight chassis that folds flat, so they're more compact and easy to fit into smaller vehicles. They have many features that make them more convenient. They include large shopping baskets, rain covers and lightweight chassis.

When shopping for a 2 in 1 travel system pram and a carrycot, ensure whether the product you're contemplating is suitable for your child and conforms to the latest European safety standards. Check, for example, that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant with the new standard EN1466:2023. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC:2015, which will be mandatory in June 2024. Also, look for  2 in 1 pushchair  like footmuffs, weather shields and parent and child trays to help your little one feel comfortable and secure when they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is ideal for babies who are comfortable in a car seat for infants and is ready to begin walking independently. Strollers are easy to fold and are usually compact enough to fit in the boot of your car. They're spacious enough to accommodate all of baby's necessities and offer the comfort of a ride on rough terrain. Some strollers feature a large bassinet for naps while on the move. The most reliable strollers come with the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for parents who are just starting out.

Many modern strollers and prams have adaptors that make it possible to snap a car capsule into the chassis and allow you to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair without disrupting them. This is an excellent feature for parents who are always on the go, as it allows you to run essential errands and not wake your baby or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best illustrated by the Doona travel system, a compact stroller that can be converted into a carrycot or group baby seat.

They are simple to handle and hold a lot of luggage. They are heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to squeeze into a trunk of a car or taxi. However, their ease of use and roominess make them ideal for long walks.

They can be used from birth and are typically smaller in size than traditional prams. Additionally, the carrycot can be converted to an infant seat that can face your child 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 the pushchair.

Accessories

Some of them can be converted into pushchairs, which means that your baby can sleep flat from birth. Others can be transformed into an entire travel system by adding a car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are a few brands that carry these.

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