2in1 pram -Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram
The most effective 2 in 1 travel system prams allow you to move your baby from the car to stroller and back again. These sets are editor-tested and approved. They come with an infant seat that snaps onto the stroller frame to ensure a smooth ride.
Note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, which are meant to stay in the car). Weight and age limits differ depending on the model.
Car Seat
A two-in-one travel system pram includes an infant car seat that snaps into the stroller and can also transform into a carrycot, making it a one-stop shop for your baby's first years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, however the convenience of moving your baby from the car to the stroller with ease and without disrupting them is worth the extra price.
A contemporary take on a traditional pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram combination 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 easier to install than other models. The pram can also be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also alter the direction of your seat from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.
The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is an additional highly rated product for new parents. Similar to the Doona, it can convert into a rolling bassinet or stroller with an adjustable seat that can be positioned to face your child towards the rear or front of the stroller based on their preference. It is simple to use, and it can accommodate two car seats.
There are plenty of other options out there and they are also available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems include a stroller and car seat that can be used from birth. However, many of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. The most important thing is to purchase a high-quality product that can work with your particular car model and that is safe to be installed. Check the manufacturer's guidelines and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. Also, check with your insurance company whether they offer 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 the frame of a pram, allowing babies to sleep comfortably when on the move. It is ideal to use from birth up until your baby is able to stand up on their own without assistance, which is typically around six months. A carrycot can also be an excellent alternative to the moses basket or crib and can also double as a travel cot when you are away from home. The carrycot of 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 a night's sleep and can be folded and stored away when not being used.
Most 3 in 1 combination pram systems combine a pushchair, car seat and carrycot, allowing you to pick the most suitable method of transport for every journey. They are more bulky than 2 in 1 models and may be preferred for parents who prefer a classic pram look. These models often have the option to remove the pushchair so that you can use them as strollers that are lightweight once your child is old enough to sit up straight and look at you.
They are usually light and fold flat. This makes them easier to fit into smaller vehicles. They also have a range of features that make them more convenient, such as large shopping baskets and rain covers.
Verify whether the 2 in 1 travel system and a carrycot you are considering is safe and conforms to the most recent European safety standard. For example, check whether the carrycot is compliant with the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the earlier EN 0+:2014+AC:2015, and will become obligatory by June 2024). Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot like weather shields and footmuffs. There are also the trays for children and parents.
Stroller
A stroller is the best option if your baby is already capable of sitting in a car seat for infants and is able to start walking on their own. Strollers fold easily and compact, and often fit into the boot of cars. They are spacious enough to hold all of baby's necessities and offer a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet for naps in the car. The most reliable strollers come with the latest safety features, including 5-point harnesses. 2 in 1 prams are a great option for new parents.
Modern prams and strollers come with adaptors which allow you to attach 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 move. It lets them do essential errands and not needing to disturb their child. This is best illustrated by the Doona travel system, a compact stroller that can be converted into a carrycot or group child seat for 0+.
Real prams are the silvercross-sprung things Mary Poppins would take on her adventures and they're a great choice for walking around town or travelling to other countries, since they're easy to operate and can carry a large amount of luggage. However, they're quite heavy to carry and can be difficult to fit into a taxi, or the small trunk of your vehicle, but they are ideal for long walks due to their space and comfort.
The more recent 3 in 1 pram systems have a more sophisticated and modern design, with frames that shut like an umbrella, and an adjustable baby seat and/or carrycot. These are able to be used at birth and are smaller than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot is converted to an upright seat that will face your child's back and recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is an excellent choice that comes with a infant car seat and a carryingcot as well as the pushchair.
Accessories
A pramette is like an ordinary pram, but can fold down much smaller and is perfect for traveling on busy trains or in the event that your home doesn't have enough space for an entire pram. Some of them can be converted into pushchairs, so that your baby can lie flat from birth. Others can be transformed into an entire travel system by adding a car seat. Some of the brands that sell these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.
A 3-in-1 travel system includes a carrycot, a pushchair and car seat for maximum convenience. Click the car seat into the frame for your pushchair, and your baby will have a peaceful, relaxing trip from birth. Once your baby is old enough, you can convert the stroller into a pram and have an updated take on the classic look. The Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System bundle is a great example of this. It includes a Carrycot, Infant car seat and is suitable for babies up to age 1.
