The decision to purchase the ideal pushchair pram for your family is one of the most important choices you make as a parent. It doesn't matter if you opt for a travel system bundle to benefit from its initial convenience and cost savings or a distinct frame for your triple pram and a compatible car seat to allow for maximum flexibility, there's plenty to consider.

This guide will help you make the right choice for your lifestyle and needs.

What is a travel systems?

A travel system is an infant pushchair that is able to take a baby car seat, and some come with a carrycot as well. New parents will appreciate this option since they can easily move their baby in a sleep position from their car into the pushchair.

A great travel system will fit comfortably into your car, and then connect to the frame of your pushchair to ensure a smooth journey for your baby. It's a great option because you'll need only one purchase to celebrate the arrival of your baby stroller. It also helps you save money.

There are a variety of travel systems available with options ranging from budget-friendly choices to premium brand names like TYPO or JANE. A lot of them come with a matching changing bag that is a perfect match as well as car seat accessories. And If you're looking to make things easier, there are travel system bundles that come with everything you need in just one purchase. This is the best way to be sure that all the components work without having to look online for a compatible car seat and finding out you need additional adaptors too!

What are the various options for reclined seating?

If you choose a travel system with a carrycot, make sure that the seat of the pushchair is fully reclined to allow your baby to rest comfortably in the recommended position for spinal and breathing development. Also, be aware of whether the handlebar is adjustable in height so that it's comfortable for you and your companion or any other person who may use it regularly.

Most pushchairs that are "from birth" have a reversible seat unit so that you can decide the position of your child's seat, either facing you (to help them develop their communication skills) or world-facing, to encourage their curiosity and allow them to see where they are going. Some travel systems also have an reversible car seat that attaches directly to the pushchair frame without removing it, ensuring that you can easily transfer your child from the car to the stroller, and then back.

Check that the car seat you choose is compatible with your pushchair as not all infant car seats can be connected to all pushchairs, without adaptors. Some travel systems come with all the adaptors required included in the box. Others might require that you purchase them separately. Check the product details or ask your local retailer.

How do you get it done?

If you're in search of a travel system to take your newborn from car to pushchair and back again, make sure the pushchair's chassis is light enough and that you have room in your car to fit a carrycot. Carrycots can be attached easily and are lightweight. They are ideal for babies under 6 months and should be used in conjunction with a lie flat pushchair. This allows the baby to be in a fully reclining position, which is beneficial for their spinal development as well as lung development.

If you opt for a travel system bundle, or opt to pick and mix the components yourself, it's worth remembering that the majority of them are designed to function as a single unit by the brands. You can be assured that everything will perform as intended. Buying everything together can be convenient and is almost always cheaper than buying them separately. Being able to move your sleeping baby from the car seat to stroller for the nursery run or nipping into shops without disrupting them is a huge plus. We believe that travel systems are definitely worth the cost.

How easy is it to attach an automobile seat or a carrycot?

The majority of pushchairs that are 'from birth' can be connected to a compatible baby car seat or carrycot for effortless transitions from your vehicle to the street. This is perfect for newborns as it allows them to rest in a flat position.

Once the baby mobility has outgrown their infant car seat (usually until the age of 18 months) the majority of travel systems can be used with a stroller seat, meaning that they will last longer as your child develops. A majority of travel systems come with a separate stroller seat but some, like the Doona and the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, have one piece design, which means that the car seat unfolds into the pushchair and then back again to be inserted into the base of your vehicle.

If you choose to use a car seat or a carrycot on your pushchair, be sure to read the instructions provided by the manufacturer and always follow their age, weight and size restrictions. Make sure to check whether the car seat and pushchair have been recalled due to safety reasons.

Many pushchairs come with additional accessories to enhance your experience. For instance, a footmuff will protect your child from the elements, while a parasol made of SPF/UPF50+ fabric will keep them shaded in the sun. Some pushchairs include an ride-on board for toddlers who are eager to explore the world, but need a little help.

What is the weight limit?

A pushchair travel system will generally accommodate children as long as they are of the appropriate weight and age. It will depend on the car seat/pushchair combo that you select and also on the kind of lifestyle you have. So it's essential to review these specifications thoroughly. It's also important to test the brakes on your selected model. They should be strong and easy to operate.

Many brands include infant seat adaptors as part of their travel system packages. This allows you to simply clip the car seat of your child onto the frame of the stroller. This makes the entire process of exploring the world with a newborn much quicker and easier. This means that your baby can still use their stroller once they grow out of the car seat and carrycot. This is an excellent option for families that have hectic lives and plenty to do daily.

How easy is it to fold?

There are a range of fold types that are available on prams pushchairs prams pushchairs. Some are truly one-handed by pressing the button. Others require two hands or just a couple of steps, yet they can fold down to a small size. Some models even stand when folded which makes it easy to grab and go. This kind of design is perfect for those who reside in a city or commute, and need to make the transition from car to pushchair seamless or if you have a small boot and need something that folds really small to fit in it.

Some travel system pushchairs, dependent on the model, can be used as early as birth by adding the car seat or carrycot. Those that can are often allowed to be used in the cabin on flights and are ideal for parents who do lots of travelling as a family.

The most affordable option is to buy a car seat and a pushchair. The bundle is typically designed by the brand and comprises of a pushchair and car seat that have been designed to work together. Some pushchairs say which car seats they're compatible with, and you can then purchase a seat separately (though this might require adaptors for car seats). The Babyzen YOYO is Gemma's pick for the most lightweight travel systems, due to its innovative features and quick folding.

What do you think it looks like?

A travel system bundle is a great way to buy a pushchair and car seat in one go, with the added bonus of ease of use, security and, often, a cost savings. These bundles are designed by brands or retailers, with each piece carefully selected to be compatible. That means you don't have to do a lot of research on which car seat is compatible with your dream pushchair, or searching online for a sock or changing bag that complements the style.

They usually include a carrycot or seat unit which can be used both facing forward or towards the parent depending on your preference (or regulations, as rear-facing in the car is advised up to 15 months). Some of them can be converted into a tandem twin if you're expecting more than one child.

If you plan to drive a lot and walking, a travel system is a good choice.
