However, the majority of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers.

Carrycot

A carrycot is an easy-to-transport, small cot that can be attached to a pram frame. It lets newborns sleep in comfort while on the move. It's ideal for use from birth until your child is able to sit unaided, typically at around 6 months. A carrycot can also be used as an alternative to a crib or moses basket. It can also double up as a travel bed while you are away from home. The carrycot in the 2 in 1 pram that is a travel system typically has a wide flat base, and is designed to help your baby's natural sleep position, which helps in healthy growth and development.

Stroller

A stroller is the best option if your baby is already able to sit in a car seat that is for infants and is ready to begin walking independently.

Some strollers come with a huge bassinet for naps on the move. The best strollers are equipped with the most recent safety features, including 5-point harnesses.
