Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram comes with an infant car seat that snaps into the stroller. It can also transform into a carrycot, making it an all-in-one solution for your baby's first years. These prams are more expensive than standard strollers, however the ease of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller in a safe manner and without causing any disturbance to them is worth the extra cost.

There are a variety of other options available as well. Many 2 in 1 travel systems prams come with 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, which is why it's important to do your research before you buy. It's important to choose a product that is compatible with your car model and can be installed in a safe manner. Go through the manufacturer's instructions and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to find out whether they provide roadside assistance in case you require assistance in a installation or any other problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact portable cot that is attached to a pram frame and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while on the move. It is a great option to use from birth up until your baby can sit without assistance, which is typically about six months. A carrycot is also a great alternative to a moses basket or crib and can be used as a travel cot when away from home. The carrycot of a buggy 2 in 1 in1 travel system pram is typically large and flat. It helps your baby's natural sleeping position and encourages healthy growth.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams are able to combine the pushchair with a car seat or carrycot, which means you can pick the best method of transport for your trip.

Many of these models also come with the option of removing the seat for the pushchair, so you can use it as a light stroller after your baby is old enough to sit and face you.

For instance, make sure that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant with the new standard EN1466:2023. This replaces the EN0+:2014+AC :2015 and becomes obligatory in June 2024. Also, look out for accessories like footmuffs, weather shields and parent and child trays to help your little one feel comfortable and secure when they're sleeping 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 ready to begin walking independently. Strollers fold easily and compact, and typically fit in the boot of the car. They are spacious enough to allow for all of your baby's needs. They also offer the most comfortable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Some strollers feature a large bassinet to allow for napping in the car. The most effective strollers include modern safety features like 5-point harnesses, making them a great option for any new parent.
