Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1 travel system prams make it easy to transition your child from car to stroller and back again. Tested by an editor and approved, these sets include an infant car seat that snaps onto a frame for strollers to ensure a smooth ride for your child.

Please note that 2 in 1 infant car seat and stroller are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seat (not extended-use car seats, that is intended to remain in the vehicle). Weight and age limits differ according to the product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram includes a car seat that clicks into the stroller and can also transform into an infant carrycot, making it the perfect one-stop shop for your baby's first few years. These prams cost more than standard strollers, however the ease of moving your baby from the car to the stroller safely and without causing any disturbance to them is worth the extra price.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combo is a modern version of the traditional pram. It is a favorite by parents. The Vista stroller is easy to maneuver 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. The stroller can also be used in carriage mode or as a bassinet. You can also change 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 another highly rated option for new parents. Like the Doona it can also be converted into a rolling 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 can be an ideal option if intend to purchase a second car seat for older siblings since it can hold two seats.

There are a variety of alternatives available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems prams include car seats for babies and a stroller that can be used from birth, but most of those car seats aren't compatible with all strollers, so it's important to do your research before you buy. The important thing is to get a quality product that is compatible with the specific car model you have and that is safe to be installed. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website as well as the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to find out whether they provide roadside assistance in case you need help with an installation or other problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that is attached to the frame of a pram and allows infants to rest comfortably while on the move. It is a great option 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 be used as an alternative to a crib or a moses basket. It can also be used as a travel bed when you're away from home. The carrycot in a 2 in 1 travel system pram typically has a wide flat base that is designed to support your baby's natural sleeping position, which promotes healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots like the adorable Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleep and can be folded and stored when they are not being used.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams are able to combine a pushchair with an infant car seat or carrycot, so you can select the best mode of transport for your trip. These are bulkier than the 2 in 1 models and could be a better choice for parents who prefer a classic pram design. These models often come with the option of removing the pushchair, so you can use them as lightweight strollers when your child is old enough to sit upright and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots typically feature a lightweight chassis that folds flat, making them more compact and easy to fit into smaller cars. They are equipped with many features that make them more practical. These include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.

When shopping for a 2 in 1 travel system pram with a carrycot, check that the product you're considering is suitable for your child and that it is in line with the most recent European safety standards. For instance, make sure whether the carrycot is compliant with the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the earlier EN 0+:2014+AC:2015 and will be mandatory by June 2024). Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot like weather shields and footmuffs. Also, you can find parent and child trays.

Stroller

A stroller is a great option for babies who are capable of sitting in a car seat for infants and is able to start walking independently. Strollers are easy to fold, are compact and often can be tucked away in the trunk of your car. They have ample storage space to accommodate all of your baby's necessities and will also provide an enjoyable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Some come with a spacious bassinet, which allows napping while on the go. The best strollers are equipped with the latest safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for new parents.

Modern strollers and prams include adaptors that permit you to attach a car capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your sleeping baby without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature, particularly for parents who are constantly moving. It lets them do essential errands and not be able to disturb their child. The Doona travel system stroller is an excellent example of this. It's a lightweight and compact stroller that transforms into a cozy carrycot as well as a car seat for groups 0+, making it the perfect option for parents who are always traveling.

Real prams are the silvercross-sprung things that Mary Poppins would use on her adventures and they're a great choice for walking around town or traveling abroad, as they're easy to operate and can carry a significant amount of baggage. However, they're quite heavy to carry and may be difficult to fit into a taxi, or the small trunk of your car, but they are ideal for long walks because of their spaciousness and comfort.


The newest 3 in 1 prams come with more modern and sophisticated design. They have a frame that folds up like an umbrella, and a portable baby seat or carrycot. These are suitable for use from birth, and are smaller than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be transformed into a seat for your child that can recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is an excellent choice that comes with an infant car seat and a carryingcot as well as a pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller version of a pram. It is perfect for trains that are jammed or if you don't have the space to store a large stroller. Some of these can be converted into pushchairs so your baby can lay flat from birth. Others can be transformed into an entire travel system by adding a car seat. Some of the brands that stock these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel package includes a carrycot, pushchair and car seat. This is the most convenient way to travel. Connect the car seat to the pushchair frame and your baby can take a relaxing, peaceful trip from birth. Once your baby is old enough, you can convert the pram to a stroller and give modernized the traditional look. This is beautifully illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It comes with an Carrycot and Infant car seat that can be used from the time of birth.
