Editor-Tested 2 in 1 highchair in 1 Travel System Pram

The most effective 2 in 1 travel system prams allow you to transition your baby from the car to stroller and back again. These sets have been tested by editors and endorsed. They come with a baby seat that snaps into the stroller frame to ensure smooth and comfortable ride.

Please be aware that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seat (not extended-use car seating, that is intended to remain in the vehicle). Age and weight limits vary according to the product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram comes with an infant car seat that snaps into the stroller. It can also transform into an infant carrycot, making it a one-stop shop for your baby's initial years. They tend to be more expensive than a standard stroller, however, the convenience and security of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is worth the extra cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combo is a modern version of the traditional pram. It is a favourite by parents. The Vista stroller glides smoothly, and the Mesa infant car seat is clipped effortlessly into your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it easier than other models to install. Furthermore, 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 infant car seat and stroller combo is a popular choice that's ideal for parents who are new. Like the Doona it can be converted into a roll-up bassinet or stroller with a reclining seat that can be positioned to face your child towards the front or back of the stroller, depending on their preferences. It's simple to use and a great option if you plan on buying an additional car seat for older siblings because it can fit two seats.

There are other options available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems come with a stroller and car seat that can be used right from the moment of birth. However, most of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. It is essential to select one that is compatible with your car model and is able to be installed in a safe manner. Go through the manufacturer's instructions and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also check with your insurance provider whether they offer roadside assistance if you need assistance installing something or dealing with other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that is attached to the frame of a pram, allowing infants to rest comfortably while traveling. It's ideal for use from birth until your baby is able to sit up without assistance, typically at around 6 months. A carrycot is also an ideal alternative to a moses basket or crib and can double up as a travel cot if you are staying away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in1 travel system pram is usually flat and large. It helps your baby's natural sleep position and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, such as the adorable Stargazer, are also suitable for overnight sleeping and can be easily collapsed and stored when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams are able to combine a pushchair and a car seat or carrycot, which means you can pick the best method of transport for your trip. They are heavier than 2 in 1 models and could be preferred for parents who prefer a traditional pram design. These models usually offer the option of removing the pushchair, so you can use them as strollers that are lightweight once your child is old enough to sit up straight and look at you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots typically feature a lightweight chassis and fold flat, which makes them smaller and easier to fit into smaller cars. They also come with a variety of features that make them more convenient including large shopping baskets and rain covers.

Check whether the 2 in 1 pram and car seat in 1 travel system with a carrycot you are considering is suitable and meets the latest European safety standard. For instance, you can ensure that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant with the new standard EN1466:2023. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC :2015 and becomes obligatory in June 2024. Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot like footmuffs and weather shields. Also, you can find the trays for children and parents.

Stroller

If your baby can comfortably sit in a car seat for infants and is able to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best choice. Strollers are easy to fold, compact and can usually fit in the trunk of the car. They're spacious enough to hold all of the necessities for your baby and provide an enjoyable ride, even on rough terrain. Some strollers feature a large bassinet to allow for napping while on the move. The most effective strollers include the latest safety features such as 5-point harnesses, making them a great option for parents who are just starting out.

Modern prams and strollers have adaptors that allow you to attach a car capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your baby to sleep without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature for parents who are always on the go, since it lets you complete essential errands without having to wake your baby or risk losing them from the vehicle. This is best illustrated by the Doona travel system, a compact stroller which can be converted into a carrycot, or a group baby seat.

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

The newer 3 in 1 prams come with a more modern and sophisticated design. They have frames that fold 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, while the carrycot can be converted to an infant seat that can face your child's face and recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a great value option that includes an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller model of the pram. It is great for traveling on trains that are jammed or if you don't have the space in your home to store a larger stroller. Most of these convert into pushchairs so that your child can lay flat from birth, and some also convert into a travel set-up with the addition of a car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are a few brands who stock these.

A 3-in-1 travel set includes a carrycot, pushchair and car seat. This is the most convenient way to travel. Connect the car seat to the frame of the pushchair and your baby can enjoy peaceful, comfortable trips from the moment of birth. You can then switch to a stroller when your baby is in the right place, and you'll be able to enjoy a modern take on the classic pram style. The Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System bundle is a perfect illustration of this. It includes a Carrycot, Infant car seat and is suitable for babies up to age 1.
