Editor-Tested 2 in 1 stroller with car seat in 1 Travel System Pram

The most effective 2 in 1 travel system prams allow you to move your baby from the car to stroller, and then back. Tested by an editor and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps onto a frame for strollers to ensure a smooth ride for your child.

Take note that these car seats can only be used with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats that are designed to be used in the car). Age and weight limits vary according to the product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1, travel system pram comes with a car seat which can be plugged into the stroller. It can also be converted into an infant carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's first years. They can be more expensive than a standard stroller, however the ease and security of moving your infant from your car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is worth the extra cost.

A modern take on a traditional pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram set is a popular pick for parents. The Vista stroller glides easily and the Mesa car seat can be slid to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it much easier to install than other models. The stroller can be used in carriage mode or as a bassinet. You can also alter the orientation of your seat from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combination is another popular choice that's ideal for parents with young children. It can be converted into a rolling stroller or bassinet and the reclining seat can be positioned to face your child in either direction, depending on their preference. It is easy to use, and it can accommodate two car seats.

There are many other options out there, too. Many 2 in 1 travel systems come with a stroller and a car seat that can be used right from the time of birth. However, many of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. The important thing is to purchase a high-quality product that is compatible with the specific car model you have and is safe to be installed. Review the manufacturer's guidelines and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to see if they offer roadside assistance in case you need help with installation or another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that is attached to a pram frame and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while out and about. It's perfect for use from birth until your child is able to sit unassisted, usually around 6 months. A carrycot can also be an excellent alternative to a crib or moses basket and can also double as a travel cot for those you are away from home. The carrycot of a two in1 travel system pram is typically large and flat. It assists your baby's natural position for sleep and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, like the didofy Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleep and can be easily folded and stored away when not being used.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams pair a pushchair and a car seat or carrycot, allowing you to pick the best method of transport for your journey. They are generally heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and can be preferred by parents who prefer the traditional look of prams. Many of these models have the facility to remove the seat unit for the pushchair which allows you to use it as a light stroller when your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have a carrycot usually have a lightweight chassis and fold flat, which makes them more compact and easy to fit into smaller cars. They also come with a range of features that make them more practical like large shopping baskets, as well as rain covers.

Verify that the 2 in 1 baby pram in 1 travel system that includes a carrycot you are considering is safe and conforms to the most recent European safety standard. For instance, make sure that the carrycot is in compliance with the new standard EN1466:2023. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015, which will be obligatory in June 2024. Check for accessories for the carrycot such as weather shields and footmuffs. There are also the trays for children and parents.

Stroller

If your child can sit comfortably in a car seat for infants and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best option. Strollers fold easily and are usually compact enough to fit in the boot of your car. They come with plenty of storage space to allow for all of your baby's needs and also offer an enjoyable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet to allow for napping on the move. The most effective strollers include the latest safety features like 5-point harnesses making them the ideal choice for all new parents.

Modern prams and strollers come with adaptors which 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, especially for parents who are constantly moving. It lets them run essential errands and not be able to disturb their child. This is best demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller which can be converted into a carrycot or group child seat for 0+.

Real prams are silvercross sprung things Mary Poppins would take when she went on adventures. They're a great choice for walking around town or travelling abroad, as they're simple to manage and can carry a significant amount of luggage. However, they're quite heavy to carry and may be difficult to fit into a taxi, or the small trunks of your car however, they're ideal for long walks because of their spaciousness and the comfort they offer.

The more recent 3 in 1 pram systems are more modern and contemporary design, featuring frames that can be closed like an umbrella, and an adjustable baby seat and/or carrycot. These are suitable for use from birth, and are smaller than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be transformed into a seat facing your child that can recline when they're ready. Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a excellent value option that comes with an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is the traditional pram, but it is much smaller in size and is great for travelling on trains that are busy or in the event that your home doesn't have enough space for an entire pram. The majority of them convert to pushchairs so that your baby can lie flat from birth, and some also convert into a travel system with the addition of car seats. Some of the brands that carry these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel package includes a carrycot, pushchair and car seat. This is the ultimate in convenience. Put the car seat in the frame for your pushchair, and your baby will enjoy peaceful, comfortable trips from birth. Then, you can switch to a stroller when your baby is ready and you'll be able to enjoy a modern take on the traditional pram look. This is perfectly illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It comes with an Carrycot and Infant car seat, which is suitable for use from birth.
