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 then back. These sets have been evaluated by editors and approved. They include an infant seat that snaps onto the stroller frame that matches for smooth and comfortable ride.
Be aware that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, that are designed to be used in the car). The age and weight restrictions vary by product.
Car Seat
A two-in-one travel system pram comes with car seats that can be plugged into the stroller. It also has the ability to transform into an infant carrycot, making it an all-in-one solution for your baby's initial years. These prams cost more than standard strollers, but the ease of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller with ease and without disrupting them is worth the extra price.
The UPPAbaby pram and car combo provides a modern take on the traditional pram.
2 in 1 stroller and car seat Push Chairs And Prams is a favorite by parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily and the Mesa car seat can be slid into your vehicle using UPPAbaby’s Smart Secure LATCH System, making it much easier to install than other models. Furthermore, the stroller can be used as a bassinet or in carriage mode and you can alter the seat's orientation between forward-facing and rear-facing depending on your preference.
The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combination is another popular choice that's ideal for parents who are new. It can be converted into a rolling stroller or bassinet and the reclining seat can be placed in either direction, based on their preference. It's simple to use and can be an excellent option if you are planning to purchase an additional car seat for older children because it can fit two seats.
There are a variety of other options available as well. A majority of 2 in 1 travel system prams include a baby car seat and stroller that can be used from birth, but most of those car seats aren't compatible with all strollers, so it's crucial to do your research before you buy. It's important to choose one that is compatible with your car model and is able to be installed safely. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to see if they offer roadside assistance in case you need help with an installation or other problem.
Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that can be attached to a pram frame and allows infants to rest comfortably while traveling. It's perfect for use from birth until your child can sit up unassisted, usually about 6 months. A carrycot is a great alternative to a crib or moses basket and can double up as a travel cot for those away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in1 travel system pram usually flat and large. It assists your baby's natural sleeping position and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, like the doofy Stargazer are also suitable for sleeping at night and can be easily collapsed and stored away when not in use.
The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams combine a pushchair, car seat and carrycot, allowing you to choose the right mode of transport for each journey. They tend to be heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts, and could be preferred by parents who appreciate the traditional look of prams. These models usually have the option to remove the pushchair unit so that they can be used as lightweight strollers when your child is old enough to sit straight and face you.
2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots typically have a lightweight chassis that folds flat, so they're more compact and easy to fit into smaller cars. They come with a variety of features that make them more convenient. They include large shopping baskets, rain covers and lightweight chassis.
Verify whether the 2 in 1 travel system and the carrycot you are thinking of is suitable and meets the most recent European safety standard. For instance, ensure that the carrycot complies with the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the old EN 0+:2014+AC:2015 and will be mandatory by June 2024). Also, look for carrycot accessories such as footmuffs, weather shields and parent and child trays to ensure that your child will feel comfy and secure while they sleep in their cot.
Stroller
If your child can comfortably sit in a car-seat for infants and is able to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best option. Strollers fold easily, are compact and often can be tucked away in the trunk of your car. They're big enough to hold all of baby's necessities and offer a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet for naps while on the move. The best strollers are fitted with the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for parents who are just starting out.
Modern strollers and prams include adaptors that permit you to attach a car capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your sleeping baby without disrupting them. This is a great feature for parents who are always moving. It lets them complete essential errands without having to needing to disturb their child. The Doona travel system stroller is a fantastic example of this; a lightweight and compact stroller that transforms into a cozy carrycot as well as a car seat group 0+ which makes it the ideal option for parents who are always who are always on the move.
