The most effective 2 in 1 pram system in 1 travel system prams make it simple to transfer your baby from car to stroller, and then back. Editor-tested and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps into a matching stroller frame to ensure a smooth ride for your child.

Please note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seating which is meant to remain in the vehicle). Age and weight limits vary by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system 2in1 pram includes car seats that can be plugged into the stroller and can also transform into an infant carrycot, making it an all-in-one solution for your baby’s initial years. They tend to be more expensive than standard strollers however, the convenience and security of moving your newborn from your car to the stroller without disturbing them is well worth the extra cost.

The UPPAbaby pram and car combo provides a modern take on the traditional pram. It is a popular choice among parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily, and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped into your vehicle with UPPAbaby’s Smart Secure LATCH System, making it simpler to install than other models. The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also alter the orientation of your seat from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.

It’s simple to use and a great option if you intend to purchase an additional car seat for older children because it can hold up to two seats.

There are a variety of alternatives to choose from. A majority of 2 in 1 travel systems prams come with baby car seats and stroller that can be used from birth, but most of those car seats aren’t compatible with all strollers, which is why it’s crucial to do your research before purchasing. It’s crucial to select the right product that is compatible with your vehicle model and can be set up securely. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission’s website as well as the manufacturer’s guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to find out whether they provide roadside assistance should you need help with installation or another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pram and allows babies to sleep comfortably when out and about. It’s perfect for use from birth until the time your baby is able to sit without assistance, typically about 6 months. A carrycot can also be a great alternative to the moses basket or crib and can also double as a travel cot if you are away from home. The carrycot in two-in-one pram for travel typically has a wide, flat base and is designed to support your baby’s natural sleep position, which aids healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots such as the adorable Stargazer are suitable for overnight sleep and can be easily folded and stored when not being used.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams pair a pushchair 2 in 1 with the option of a car seat or a carrycot, allowing you to pick the best method of transport for your journey. They tend to be heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who appreciate the traditional look of prams. A lot of these models come with the option of removing the seat unit for the pushchair and you can make it a lighter stroller once your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots usually feature a lightweight chassis and fold flat, so they’re more compact and can easily fit into smaller vehicles. They also come with a variety of features that make them more convenient, such as large shopping baskets and rain covers.

When shopping for a 2 in one travel system pram that includes a carrycot, make sure whether the product you’re considering is suitable for your child and is in line with the most recent European safety standards. For instance, make sure that the carrycot is in compliance to the new standard EN1466-2023. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC:2015, which will be obligatory in June 2024. Also look out for carrycot accessories like footmuffs, weather shields and parent and child trays to ensure that your child will feel comfy and secure while they’re sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is a great option if your baby is already able to sit in an infant car seat and is able to start walking on their own. Strollers are easy to fold, compact and can typically fit in the boot of a car. They are spacious enough to accommodate all of your baby’s needs. They also offer an enjoyable ride for your child even over rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet for naps on the move. The most reliable strollers come with the most recent safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for parents who are just starting out.

Modern prams and strollers come with adaptors which allow you to connect an automobile capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your sleeping baby without disturbing them. This is a great feature, particularly for parents who are always on the move. It lets them complete essential errands without having to be able to disturb their child. The Doona travel system stroller is an excellent example of this; it is a compact and lightweight stroller that can be transformed into a cozy carrycot as well as a car seat group 0+ which makes it the ideal option for parents who are always on the go.

They are simple to carry and can carry a large amount of luggage. They’re heavy and difficult to transport and they can be difficult to squeeze in a small car trunk or taxi. However, their ease of use and roominess make them ideal for long walks.
