The best 2 in 1 travel system prams allow you to transfer your baby from car to stroller and back again. These sets are editor-tested and approved. They include an infant seat that snaps onto the stroller frame to ensure an easy ride.

Please be aware that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seat (not extended-use car seats, which is meant to remain in the vehicle). The weight and age restrictions differ by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1, travel system pram comes with a car seat which can be clicked into the stroller. It can also be transformed into a carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's first years. These prams cost more than standard strollers, however the ease of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller safely and without disrupting them is worth the extra price.

The UPPAbaby pram and car combo provides a modern take on the traditional pram. It is a favourite among parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily, and the Mesa car seat can be slid into your vehicle with UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it easier to install than other models. Additionally, the stroller can be used as a bassinet or in carriage mode and you can alter the seat's direction between rear-facing and forward-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combination is another popular choice that's ideal for parents who are new. Similar to the Doona it can also be converted into a rolling bassinet or stroller with an adjustable seat that can be positioned to face your child towards the front or back of the stroller based on their preferences. It is simple to use, and can accommodate two car seats.

There are plenty of alternatives available, too. Many 2 in 1 travel system prams include car seats for babies and a stroller that can be used from birth, however most car seats aren't compatible with all strollers, so it's important to do your research before purchasing. It's important to choose the right product that is compatible with your vehicle model and can be installed safely. Review the manufacturer's guidelines and the Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to find out if they offer roadside assistance if you require assistance with installation or another issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small, portable cot that attaches to the frame of a pram and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while on the move. It is ideal to use from birth up until your baby is able stand up on their own without assistance, which is typically about six months. A carrycot can also be used as a substitute to a crib or moses basket. It could also serve as a travel bed while you are away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in1 travel system pram generally large and flat. It helps your baby's natural position for sleep and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots like the doofy Stargazer are suitable for overnight sleep and can be folded and stored away when not being used.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams pair a pushchair with a car seat or carrycot, which means you can choose the most suitable mode of transport for your journey. They tend to be heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts, and could be preferred by parents who like the classic look of a pram. These models often come with the option of removing the pushchair unit so that 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 usually feature a lightweight chassis that folds flat, making them more compact and can easily fit into smaller cars. They also come with a variety of features that make them more convenient including large shopping baskets, as well as rain covers.

Check that the 2 in 1 travel system and a carrycot you are considering is suitable and meets the latest European safety standard. For example, check whether the carrycot is compliant with the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the old EN zero+:2014+AC, 2015 and will be obligatory by June 2024). Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot like footmuffs and weather shields. You can also find parent and child trays.


Stroller

If your baby is able to sit comfortably in an infant car-seat and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best choice. Strollers fold easily, compact and can typically fit in the boot of cars. They come with plenty of storage space to accommodate all your baby's needs. They also offer an enjoyable ride for your child, even on rough terrain. Some have a spacious bassinet, which allows napping while on the go. The most effective strollers include modern safety features such as 5-point harnesses, making them the ideal option for parents who are just starting out.

A lot of modern strollers and prams have adaptors that make it possible to connect the car capsule into the chassis, allowing you to transfer your sleeping baby from car to stroller without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature for busy parents on the go, since it lets you complete essential errands and not wake your baby or risk removing them from the vehicle. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller that can be converted into a carrycot or a group baby seat.

Real prams are silvercross sprung items that Mary Poppins used to take on her adventures and they're ideal for strolling around town or travelling abroad, as they're simple to operate and can hold a huge amount of baggage. They're heavy and difficult to transport, and they aren't easy to fit into a trunk of a car or taxi. However, their ease of use and roominess make them ideal for long walks.

The more recent 3 in 1 pram systems have a more sophisticated and contemporary design, with frames that shut like an umbrella, and a convertible baby seat or carrycot. They can be used from birth and are generally less bulky than traditional prams, while the carrycot is transformed into an upright seat that will face your child and recline when they're ready. Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a great value option that includes an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

Many of them convert into pushchairs, so that your baby can lie flat from birth, and some be converted into a travel system with the addition of a car seat. Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are a few brands that carry these.
