Note that these car seats only work with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats which are meant to stay in the car). Weight and age limits differ depending on the model.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram includes a car seat that clicks into the stroller. It can also transform into a carrycot, making it a one-stop shop for your baby's first few years. They can be more expensive than standard strollers, but the convenience and safety of moving your infant from your car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is well worth the additional cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combo offers a modern twist on the traditional pram. It is a favourite among parents. The Vista stroller glides easily, and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped into your vehicle using UPPAbaby’s Smart Secure LATCH System, making it simpler to install than other models. Plus, the pram can be used as a bassinet, or in carriage mode, and you can switch the orientation of the seat between rear-facing and forward-facing depending on your preference.

There are plenty of alternatives available and they are also available. A majority of 2 in 1 travel systems prams come with car seats for babies and a stroller that can be used from birth, however most of those car seats aren't compatible with all strollers, which is why it's important to do your research before purchasing. It is essential to select a product that is compatible with your vehicle model and can be set up in a safe manner. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to find out if they offer roadside assistance should you require assistance with an installation or other issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is an easy-to-transport small cot that can be affixed to a pram frame. It lets babies rest comfortably while on the move. It's perfect for use from birth until your baby can sit up unaided, typically at around 6 months. A carrycot is also a great alternative to the moses basket or crib and can double up as a travel cot for those staying away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in1 travel system pram is generally large and flat. It helps your baby's natural sleeping position and encourages healthy growth. Some of our carrycots like the didofy Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleep and can be folded and stored when not being used.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams are able to combine a pushchair with a car seat or carrycot, so you can select the best mode of transport for your journey. They are heavier than 2 in 1 models and could be preferred by parents who prefer a classic pram style. Many of these models also have the facility to remove the seat unit for the pushchair which allows you to use it as a lightweight stroller once your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

When you are shopping for a 2- in 1 travel system pram with a carrycot, make sure that the product you're considering is suitable for your child and conforms to the latest European safety standards. For instance, you can ensure that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant to the new standard EN1466-2023. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015 and will become mandatory in June 2024. Also, look for carrycot accessories like footmuffs, weather shields, and parent and child trays to help your little one feel safe and comfortable while they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

A stroller is the best option for babies who are comfortable in a car seat that is for infants and is now ready to start walking on their own. Strollers fold easily and compact and will often fit into the boot of the car. They are spacious enough to accommodate all of your baby's necessities and will also offer the most comfortable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Some strollers feature a large bassinet to allow for napping while on the move. The top strollers come with the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses making them the ideal option for any new parent.

Modern strollers and prams have adaptors that allow you to connect a car capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your baby to sleep without disturbing them. This is an excellent feature, especially for parents who are constantly 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 a group baby seat.

Hauck, Kinderkraft, and Venicci are among the brands that carry these.
