Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System 2in1 pram

The best 2 in 1, travel system prams allow you to easily transition your child between cars and strollers. Tested by an editor and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps into a stroller frame to ensure a comfortable ride for your child.

Take note that these car seats only work with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, which are meant to stay in the car). Weight and age limits differ by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram has a car seat which can be plugged into the stroller. It can also be converted into a carrycot. This is a one-stop shop for your baby's early years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, but the convenience of transferring your child from the car to the stroller with ease and without disturbing them is worth the extra price.

A modern take on a traditional pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram combo is a favorite among parents. The Vista stroller glides smoothly and the Mesa infant car seat is clipped easily into your vehicle using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH system, which makes it simpler than other models to set up. The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as a bassinet. You can also switch the direction of your seat from rear-facing to forward-facing, according to your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is an additional highly rated product for parents who are new. Similar to the Doona, it can convert into a roll-up bassinet or stroller with an adjustable seat that can face your child from the front or back of the stroller, based on their preference. It's simple to use and an excellent option if you intend to purchase a second car seat for older siblings since it can accommodate up to two seats.

There are alternatives to choose from. Many 2 in 1 travel systems come with a stroller and car seat that can be used right from the time of birth. However, many of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. It's crucial to select the right product that is compatible with your vehicle model and is able to be installed in a safe manner. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website as well as the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also inquire with your insurance company for roadside assistance if you need help installing something or dealing with another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pram, allowing newborns to sleep comfortably while traveling. It is ideal to use from birth until your baby is able to stand up on their own without assistance, which is usually around six months. A carrycot can be used as an alternative to a crib or a moses basket. It can also double up as a bed to use when you're away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in 1 pram for travel typically has a large flat base, and is designed to support your baby's natural sleeping position, which helps in healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, such as the didofy Stargazer, are also suitable for sleep at night and can be easily rolled up and stored away when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams combine a pushchair with an infant car seat or carrycot, allowing you to choose the most suitable mode of transport for your journey. They are generally heavier than their 2 in 1 pram set in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who like the traditional look of prams. Many of these models come with the option of removing the seat for the pushchair and 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 that feature carrycots usually feature a lightweight chassis and fold flat, which makes them more compact and easy to fit into smaller vehicles. They also come with a range of features that make them more practical, such as large shopping baskets and rain covers.

Check whether the 2 in 1 travel system with the carrycot you are thinking of is suitable and complies with the latest European safety standard. For instance, you can ensure that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant to the new standard EN1466-2023. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC :2015 and becomes obligatory in June 2024. Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot such as weather shields and footmuffs. You can also find tray for both children and parents.

Stroller

If your baby is able to comfortably sit in a car-seat for infants and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best choice. Strollers are easy to fold, compact and can typically fit in the boot of the car. They're spacious enough to accommodate all of baby's necessities and offer the comfort of a ride on rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet to allow for napping on the move. The most reliable strollers come with the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for those who are new parents.

Modern strollers and prams come with adaptors which allow you to connect an automobile capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your baby to sleep without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature for parents who are always on the go, since it allows you to run important errands without having wake your baby or risk losing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller that can be converted into a carrycot, or a group baby seat.

Real prams are the silvercross sprung things Mary Poppins would take when she went on adventures. They're ideal for strolling around town or traveling to other countries, since they're easy to handle and can hold a huge amount of baggage. They're heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to squeeze into a trunk of a car or taxi. However, their ease of use and spaciousness make them ideal for long walks.

The latest 3 in 1 prams have more modern and sophisticated design. They feature a frame that folds up like an umbrella, and also a portable baby seat or carrycot. They can be used from birth, and are less bulky than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be converted into a seat for your child, which 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 a smaller version of the pram stroller 2 in 1. It is great for travel on trains that are crowded or when you don't have enough space in your home to store a full-size stroller. Many of them convert into pushchairs, so that your baby can lie flat from birth, and some can be converted into a travel system with the addition of a car seat. Some of the brands that carry these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel system bundle includes a carrycot, a pushchair and car seat for the ultimate convenience. Click the car seat into the frame for your pushchair, and your baby can take a relaxing, peaceful trip from birth. You can then switch to a stroller once your baby is ready, and you'll have an eye-catching modern take on the traditional look of a pram. This is perfectly illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It comes complete with an Carrycot and Infant car seat, which is suitable for use starting from birth.
