Editor-Tested 2 in 1 travel System pram (nitka.by)

The best 2 in 1 travel system prams allow you to transfer your baby from car to stroller, and then back. These sets have been tested by editors and endorsed. They come with a baby seat that snaps onto the stroller frame that matches for an easy ride.

Please be aware that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seat (not extended-use car seating, which is designed to stay in the vehicle). Weight and age limits differ according to the product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram comes with car seats that can be plugged into the stroller. It can also transform into a carrycot, making it an all-in-one solution for your baby's initial years. They are generally more expensive than standard strollers, however, the convenience and security of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing them is well worth the additional cost.

A modern take on an old-fashioned pram, UPPAbaby car seat and pram combo is a popular pick among parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it much easier to install than other models. Furthermore, the stroller can be used as a bassinet or in carriage mode and you can alter the seat's direction between forward-facing and rear-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is another highly rated choice for parents who are new. It can be converted to a rolling stroller or bassinet, and the reclining seat can face your child in either direction, based on the child's preference. It is simple to use and can accommodate two car seats.

There are a variety of other options out there, too. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems include 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 the right product that is compatible with your car model and can be set up securely. Check the manufacturer's guidelines and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also inquire with your insurance company whether they offer roadside assistance if you need assistance in installing something or dealing with another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact, portable cot that attaches to the frame of a pram and allows infants to rest comfortably while on the move. It's perfect for use from birth until your child is able to sit up without assistance, typically at around 6 months. A carrycot can also be used as a substitute to a crib or a moses basket. It can also be used as a bed for travel when you are away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in1 travel system pram is generally large and flat. It assists your baby's natural sleeping position and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, like the adorable Stargazer are suitable for overnight sleep and can be easily folded and stored away when not being used.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams pair a pushchair with a car seat or carrycot, allowing you to choose the most suitable mode of transport for your trip. They are generally heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who prefer the classic look of a 2in1 pram. These models usually have the option to remove the pushchair, so you can use them as lightweight strollers once your child is old enough to sit upright and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams with carrycots typically come with a light chassis that folds flat, so they're more compact and easy to fit into smaller vehicles. They also come with a range of features that make them more convenient including large shopping baskets, as well as rain covers.

When shopping for a 2 in 1 travel system pram and a carrycot, ensure that the product you're contemplating is suitable for your child and that it meets the latest European safety standards. For instance, ensure that the carrycot meets the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the earlier EN zero+:2014+AC, 2015 and will be obligatory by June 2024). Also, look out for accessories such as footmuffs weather shields and tray dishes for both parents and children to help your child feel comfortable and secure when they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

If your child can comfortably sit in an infant car-seat and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller 2 in 1 may be the best option. Strollers are easy to fold, are compact and often can be put in the boot of your car. They're spacious enough to store all baby's necessities and offer a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain. Some have a spacious bassinet to enable naps while on the move. The most effective strollers include the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses, making them a great choice for all new parents.

A lot of modern strollers and prams come with adaptors that make it possible to connect a car capsule into the chassis, allowing you to move your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair without disrupting them. This is an excellent feature for parents who are constantly 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 stroller that is lightweight that can be transformed into a carrycot or a group 0+ child seat.

They're easy to handle and can hold a lot of luggage. They are heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to squeeze into a trunk of a car or taxi. However, their comfort and spaciousness make them ideal for long walks.

The latest 3 in 1 prams come with a more modern and sophisticated design. They feature frames that fold up like an umbrella, as well as a convertible baby seat or carrycot that can be removed. These are suitable for use from birth and are smaller than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be turned into a seat for your child that can recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a excellent value option that includes an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is like the traditional pram, but it is much smaller in size and is great for travelling on trains with a lot of traffic or in the event that your home doesn't have room for the full-size pram. Many of them convert into pushchairs so that your child can lie flat from birth, and some be converted into a travel set-up with the addition of car seats. Some of the brands that carry these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel set includes a carrycot, pushchair and car seat. This is the ultimate in convenience. Connect the car seat to the pushchair frame and your baby can take a relaxing, peaceful trip from birth. Then, you can change to a stroller once your baby is ready, and you'll have an eye-catching modern take on the traditional look of a pram and pushchair 2 in 1. The Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System bundle is a great illustration of this. It comes with an Carrycot and Infant car seat, which can be used from the time of birth.
