The best 2 in 1 travel system prams make it easy to move your baby from car to stroller and back again. These sets have been tested by editors and approved. They come with a baby seat that snaps onto the stroller frame that matches for a smooth ride.

Please take note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, which is designed to stay in the vehicle). The age and weight restrictions differ by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1, travel system pram includes a car seat which can be plugged into the stroller. It can also be transformed into the carrycot. This is a one-stop shop for your baby’s early years. These prams cost more than standard strollers. However, the ease of moving your baby from the car to the stroller 2 in 1 car seat safely and without causing any disturbance to them makes it worth the extra price.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combination offers a modern twist on the traditional pram. It is a favorite among 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 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 seat’s orientation from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combo is another popular choice that’s ideal for parents who are new.

The important thing is to get a quality product that can work with the specific car model you have and is safe to be installed. Review the manufacturer’s guidelines and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to find out whether they provide roadside assistance if you require assistance with an installation or other problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that is attached to the frame of a pram and allows babies to sleep comfortably when on the move. It is a great option to use from birth until your baby can stand up on their own without assistance, which usually occurs at about six months. A carrycot can also be used as a substitute to a crib or moses basket. It can also be used as a bed to use when you’re away from home. The carrycot in the 2 in 1 travel system pram typically has a wide, flat base and is designed to accommodate your baby’s natural sleeping position, which helps in healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, including the didofy Stargazer can also be used for sleep at night and can be easily collapsed and stored away when not in use.

Many of these models have the facility to remove the seat unit for the pushchair which allows you to make it a lighter stroller when your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

Also look out for carrycot accessories like footmuffs, weather shields and tray dishes for both parents and children to help your child feel safe and comfortable while they sleep in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is the best option when your baby is comfortable in a car seat for infants and is now ready to start walking independently. Strollers fold easily and compact and will usually fit in the trunk of cars. They’re big enough to store all baby’s necessities and offer the comfort of a ride on rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet for naps in the car. The most reliable strollers come with the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for those who are new parents.
