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

The most effective 2 in 1 pram system in 1 travel system prams allow you to easily transition your child between the stroller and a car. Tested by an editor and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps onto a stroller frame to ensure a safe ride for your child.

Please be aware 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 weight and age restrictions differ by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system with car seat-in-1 travel system pram comes with a car seat which can be plugged into the stroller. It can also be converted into a carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's first years. These prams cost more than standard strollers. However, the ease of transferring your child from the car to the stroller safely and without disrupting them is worth the extra cost.

The UPPAbaby pram and car combo provides a modern take on the traditional pram. It is a favorite among parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily, and the Mesa car seat can be slid to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it simpler to install than other models. Additionally, the stroller can be used as a bassinet, or in carriage mode and you can change the seat's orientation to forward-facing or rear-facing based on your preference.

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

There are a variety of alternatives available and they are also available. Many 2 in 1 travel systems include an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used from birth. However, many of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. It's important to choose the right product that is compatible with your vehicle model and is able to be installed securely. Go to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website and manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to see if they offer roadside assistance if you need help with an installation or other problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is an easy-to-transport small cot that can be attached to a pram frame. It allows newborns to sleep comfortably on the move. It's ideal for use from birth until your child is able to sit up unaided, typically at around 6 months. A carrycot can also be used as a substitute to a crib or moses basket. It could also serve as a bed for travel when you are away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in 1 travel system pram is usually flat and large. It supports your baby's natural sleep position and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, like the didofy Stargazer are suitable for overnight sleep and can be folded and stored when not being used.

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

2 in 1 travel system prams with a carrycot usually have a lightweight chassis that folds flat, which makes them more compact and can easily 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.

Make sure that the 2 in 1 stroller car seat in 1 travel system and a carrycot that you are considering is suitable and complies with the most recent European safety standard. For instance, ensure that the carrycot meets the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the old EN 0+:2014+AC:2015, and will become mandatory by June 2024). Also, look for carrycot accessories such as footmuffs, weather shields, and tray for the child and parent to help your little one feel comfy and secure while they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

If your baby can comfortably sit in a car seat for infants and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best option. Strollers are easy to fold and compact and will often fit into the boot of a car. They are spacious enough to accommodate all your baby's necessities and will also offer a comfortable ride for your child even over rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet that can be used for napping while on the move. The best strollers are fitted with the most recent safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are a great option for parents who are just starting out.

A lot of modern strollers and prams have adaptors that make it possible to click the car capsule into the chassis and allow you to move your sleepy baby from the car to the pushchair without disrupting them. This is a great feature, particularly for parents who are constantly moving. It lets them run essential errands and not be able to disturb their child. The Doona travel system stroller is a great example of this; a lightweight and compact stroller that transforms into a comfortable carrycot and group 0+ car seat which makes it the ideal option for busy parents on the go.

Real prams are the silvercross-sprung items that Mary Poppins used to take when she went on adventures. They're a great choice for walking around town or going on a trip to other countries, since they're easy to manage and can carry a significant amount of luggage. They're however heavy to carry and may be difficult to fit into a taxi or small trunk of your vehicle however, they're ideal for long walks because of their space and comfort.

The more recent 3 in 1 pram systems are more sophisticated and contemporary design, featuring frames that shut like an umbrella, and an adjustable baby seat and/or carrycot. These are able to be used at birth and are smaller in size than traditional prams, while the carrycot can be converted to an upright seat that will face your child's face and recline when they're ready. Our range 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 version of the pram. It is great for traveling on trains that are crowded or in the event that you don't have the space in your home to store a large stroller. Some of these can be converted into pushchairs, which means that your baby can sleep flat from birth. Some can be converted into an ideal travel system by incorporating the car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are some of the brands that carry these.

A 3-in-1 travel bundle includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat. This is the ultimate in convenience. Simply snap the car seat onto the frame of the pushchair, and your baby will have peace and comfort on excursions out of the house from the moment of birth. When your baby is old enough, you can turn the pram into a stroller and have modernized the traditional look. This is perfectly illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It comes with the Carrycot, Infant car seat and is suitable for babies up to age 1.
