Please note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seating 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 car seats that can be clicked into the stroller. It can also be converted into an infant carrycot. This makes it a one stop shop for your baby's initial years. These prams cost more than standard strollers. However, the convenience of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller safely and without causing any disturbance to them makes it worth the extra cost.

A modern take on an old-fashioned pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram combo is a popular pick for parents. The Vista stroller is easy to maneuver and the Mesa car seat can be slid into your vehicle using UPPAbaby’s Smart Secure LATCH System, making it easier to install than other models.

There are alternatives available. A majority of 2 in 1 travel system with car seat in 1 travel systems prams come with a baby car seat and stroller that can be used from birth, but most car seats don't work with all strollers, so it's essential to conduct your research prior to purchasing. The most important thing is to get a quality product that is compatible with the specific car model you have and is safe to be installed. Review 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 if you require assistance installing something or dealing with other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small, portable cot that attaches to the frame of a pram and allows babies to sleep comfortably when traveling. It's ideal from birth until your child can sit up unaided, typically about 6 months. A carrycot can be used as a substitute to a crib or moses basket. It could also serve as a bed to use when you are away from home. The carrycot that comes with two-in-one pram that is a travel system typically has a large flat base that is designed to help your baby's natural sleeping position, which promotes healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, including the didofy Stargazer, are also suitable for sleeping at night and can be easily collapsed and stored when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams combine a 2in1 pushchair and an infant car seat or carrycot, so you can select the best mode of transport for your journey. They tend to be heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts, and could be preferred by parents who appreciate the traditional look of prams. Many of these models come with the option of removing the pushchair seat unit, so you can make it a lighter stroller once your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

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

Be sure to look for accessories for your carrycot like footmuffs and weather shields. There are also tray for both children and parents.

Stroller

A stroller is a great option when your baby is able to sit in a car seat for infants and is ready to begin walking on their own. Strollers fold easily and are usually compact enough to fit in the boot of your car. They are spacious enough to accommodate all of the necessities for your baby and provide an enjoyable ride, even on rough terrain. Some models come with a large bassinet that allows for naps traveling. The best strollers are fitted with the latest safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are an excellent choice for those who are new parents.

Many modern prams and strollers have adaptors that make it possible to click a car capsule into the chassis which allows you to move your sleepy baby from car to pushchair without disrupting them. This is an excellent feature, particularly for parents who are always on the move. It allows them to complete essential errands without having to be able to disturb their child. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a compact stroller that can be converted into a carrycot or group child seat for 0+.

They are easy to carry and can carry a large amount of luggage. However, they're heavy to carry and may be difficult to fit into a taxi, or the small trunk of your vehicle, but they are ideal for long walks because of their space and ease of use.
