Fortunately, this guide will assist you in making the best decision to meet your lifestyle and needs.

What is a travel system?

A travel system is a pushchair that can be fitted with a baby car seat, and some include an infant carrycot. It's an excellent choice for parents who are new since it lets you easily move your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair without disturbing them. It's ideal for quick trips to the shops or make a nursery run.

A quality travel system will attach to the frame of your pushchair, and will fit perfectly into your car. This allows for a comfortable journey for your child. It's a great choice because you'll only need to make one purchase for your baby's arrival. You'll also save money.

There are many types of travel systems available ranging from budget options to top-of-the-line brands like JANE or TYPO. Many will come with a matching coordinating changing bag as well as car seat accessories. And If you're looking to simplify your life, there are travel system bundles that come with everything you need in just one purchase. This is the most efficient way to make sure all parts work together. No more searching online for a car seat that functions and then figuring out that you also need adaptors!

Most 'from birth' pushchairs come with a reversible seat so that you can choose the position of your child's seat, either facing you (to help them develop their communication skills) or in a world-facing position, to encourage their curiosity and allow them to know where they are going. Some travel systems also come with an reversible car seat that can be attached directly to the frame of the pushchair, without taking it off it, so you can easily move your baby from the car to the stroller, and then back.

Make sure the car seat you choose is compatible with your pushchair, as not all infant car seats can be used with all pushchairs, without adaptors. Some travel systems include all the adaptors required included in the box. Others might require that you purchase the adaptors separately. You can find out if this is the case by examining the product details or contacting the local retailer.

If you're looking for a transport system to transport your baby from the car to the pushchair, and back ensure that the pushchair chassis isn't too heavy, and you have enough space in your car to accommodate a carrycot. Carrycots are lightweight and easy to attach, but they're best used with infants that are less than 6 months old. They should always be used in conjunction with a lie-flat pushchair to allow the baby to be in a fully reclined position. This is best for their lung and spine development.

If you opt for a travel system bundle, or opt to pick and mix the components yourself, it's worth remembering that they're all designed to work together as a single unit by the brands. You can be sure that everything will fit and function well. Buying everything in one place is convenient and often costs less than buying items separately.

A majority of travel systems come with a separate stroller seat but some, like the Doona and the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, have one piece design, which means that the car seat unfolds into the pushchair and then folds back to be inserted into the base of your vehicle.

If you choose to use the car seat or carrycot on your pushchair, make sure to carefully read the instructions and adhere to the weight, age and size restrictions. Also, be sure to determine if the pushchair and car seat has been removed as part of a safety recall.

Many pushchairs come with additional accessories to enhance your experience. For example the use of a footmuff is a way to shield your child from the elements while a parasol made of SPF/UPF50+ fabric keeps them shaded from the sun. Some pushchairs come with an ride-on board for toddlers who want to explore the world but require a little help.

Some models even have the ability to stand upright when folded, making it simple to hold. This sort of design is ideal for those who live in the city or commute, and need to make the transition from your car to a pushchair an effortless process, or when you have a small boot and need a model that folds really small to fit in it.
