Editor-Tested 2 in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2 in 1, travel system prams allow you to easily transition your baby between the stroller and a car. These sets have been tested by editors and approved. They come with an infant seat that snaps into the matching stroller frame for a smooth ride.

Be aware that these car seats can only be used with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats which are meant to stay in the car). The weight and age limitations vary for each product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram comes with car seats that can be plugged into the stroller. It can also transform into a carrycot, which makes it an all-in-one solution for your baby's initial years. They are generally more expensive than standard strollers but the convenience and safety of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller with no disturbance is well worth the extra cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combination provides a modern take on the traditional pram. It is a popular choice among parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily, and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped into your vehicle using UPPAbaby’s Smart Secure LATCH System, making it much easier to install than other models. The pram can also be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. 2in1 pram can also alter the orientation 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 choice for new parents. Similar to the Doona it can also be converted into a roll-up bassinet or stroller with an adjustable seat that can face your child to 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 an additional car seat for older siblings since it can hold up to two seats.

There are many alternatives available as well. Many 2 in 1 travel systems come with a stroller and a car seat that can be used from the moment of birth. However, most of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. It is essential to get a quality product that works with the specific car model you have and that can be safely installed. Review the manufacturer's guidelines and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also check with your insurance company for roadside assistance if you need help installing something or addressing other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pram and allows babies to sleep comfortably when traveling. It is a great option to use from birth until your baby is able sit without assistance, which usually occurs at about six months. A carrycot is a great alternative to the moses basket or crib and can also double as a travel cot if you are staying away from home. The carrycot on the 2 in 1 pram that is a travel system typically has a wide, flat base and is designed to support your baby's natural sleeping position which helps in healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, like the adorable Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleep and can be easily folded and stored away when not being used.

The majority of 3 in 1 prams combine the pushchair, car seat and carrycot so you can choose the right method of transport for every journey. These are bulkier than the 2 in 1 models, and can be a better choice for parents who prefer a classic pram style. Many of these models also come with the option of removing the pushchair seat unit, so you can use it as a light stroller after your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

They are usually light and fold flat. This makes them easier to fit in smaller cars. They have many features that make them more practical. They include large shopping baskets, rain covers and lightweight chassis.


Verify that the 2 in 1 travel system that includes a carrycot that you are considering is suitable and meets the most recent European safety standard. For instance, make sure that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant with the new EN1466:2023 standard. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015, which will be mandatory in June 2024. Also, look out for accessories such as footmuffs weather shields and parent and child trays to help your little one feel comfy and secure while they sleep in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is a great option for babies who are comfortable in a car seat that is for infants and is now ready to start walking independently. Strollers fold easily and are small enough to can be tucked away in the trunk of your car. They come with plenty of storage space to allow for all of your baby's needs. They also offer an enjoyable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Some have a spacious bassinet to enable naps while on the move. The best strollers have the latest safety features like 5-point harnesses, making them a great option for any new parent.

Modern prams and strollers come with adaptors which allow you to attach a car capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your sleeping baby without disrupting them. This is an excellent feature, especially for parents who are constantly in motion. It lets them run essential errands and not have to disturb their baby. The Doona travel system stroller is a fantastic example of this; a lightweight and compact stroller that can be transformed into a cosy carrycot and group 0+ car seat which makes it the ideal choice for parents who are always on the move.

Real prams are the silvercross sprung items that Mary Poppins used to take when she went on adventures. They're a great choice for walking around town or travelling abroad, as they're simple to operate and can hold a huge amount of baggage. They are heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to squeeze into a small trunk or taxi. However, their comfort and space make them perfect for long walks.

The latest 3 in 1 pram systems are more modern and contemporary design, with frames that can be closed like an umbrella, and an adjustable baby seat and/or carrycot. These can be used at birth and are less bulky than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot can also be transformed into an upright seat that will face your child's back and recline when they're ready. Our selection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a excellent value option that comes with an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller model of the pram. It is great for traveling on trains that are packed or if you don't have the space to store a large stroller. Some of these 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 the car seat. Some of the brands that carry these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel system bundle includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat for ultimate convenience. Click the car seat into the pushchair frame and your baby can enjoy peaceful, comfortable trips starting at birth. Once your baby is old enough, you can turn the stroller into a pram and give an updated take on the classic look. This is beautifully illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System. It comes complete with an Carrycot and Infant car seat that is suitable for use from the time of birth.
