Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1 travel system prams allow you to transfer your child from car to stroller and back again. Editor-tested and approved, these sets come with an infant car seat that snaps into a frame for the stroller to ensure a safe 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 designed to remain in the car). Limits on weight and age vary according to the product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram has car seats that can be put into the stroller. It can also be transformed into an infant carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's first years. They can be more expensive than standard strollers, however, the convenience and security of moving your infant from the car to the stroller with no disturbance is well worth the additional cost.

The UPPAbaby pram and car combo offers a modern twist on the traditional pram. It is a popular choice by parents. The Vista stroller glides easily and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it easier to install than other models. The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as a bassinet. You can also switch the seat's orientation from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combo is another top-rated option that's perfect for parents with young children. It can be transformed into a stroller that can be turned into a rolling bassinet, and the reclining seat can face your child in either direction, based on their preference. It is simple to use and can accommodate two car seats.

There are alternatives to choose from. A lot of 2 in 1 stroller in 1 travel systems come with a stroller and a car seat that can be used from 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 vehicle model and can be set up in a safe manner. Check the manufacturer's guidelines and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also inquire with your insurance provider if it offers roadside assistance in case you require assistance in installing something or addressing another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact, portable cot that attaches to a pram frame and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while out and about. It's ideal for use from birth until the time your baby is able to sit up unaided, typically around 6 months. A carrycot is also an ideal alternative to the moses basket or crib and can be used as a travel cot for those away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in 1 travel system pram is generally large and flat. It assists your baby's natural position for sleep and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, such as the adorable Stargazer, are also suitable for sleeping at night and can be easily folded and stored away when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams are able to combine a pushchair and the option of a car seat or a carrycot, which means you can select the best mode of transport for your journey. These are bulkier than the 2 in 1 models and may be preferred by parents who prefer a classic pram style. A lot of these models have the facility to remove the pushchair seat unit which allows you to make it a lighter stroller once your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams with carrycots typically feature a lightweight chassis and fold flat, so they're more compact and can easily fit into smaller vehicles. They come with a variety of features that make them more convenient. They include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.

Make sure whether the 2 in 1 travel system and a carrycot you are considering is suitable and complies with the most recent European safety standard. For instance, make sure that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant to the new standard EN1466-2023. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC:2015, which will be mandatory in June 2024. Look out for carrycot accessories such as weather shields and footmuffs. You can also find the trays for children and parents.
