Editor-Tested 2 in 1 car seat and pram in 1 Travel System Pram

The best 2-in-1 travel system prams make it easy to transfer your baby from car to stroller and back. These sets are editor-tested and approved. They include an infant seat that snaps into the stroller frame that matches for an easy ride.

Please note that these car seats are only compatible with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seating, that is intended to remain in the vehicle). The age and weight limitations vary for each product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram includes car seats that can be plugged into the stroller. It also has the ability to transform into a carrycot, making it a one-stop shop for your baby's first years. They are generally more expensive than standard strollers, but the convenience and safety of transferring your baby from your car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is well worth the extra cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combination provides a modern take on the traditional pram and stroller 2 in 1. It is a popular choice among parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily, and the Mesa car seat clips into your vehicle using UPPAbaby’s Smart Secure LATCH System, making it simpler to install than other models. The stroller can be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also alter the seat's orientation from rear-facing to forward-facing, depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is another highly rated option for new parents. It can be transformed into a stroller that can be turned into a rolling bassinet and the reclining seats can be placed in either direction, based on their preference. It's easy to use and is an excellent option if you are planning to purchase a second car seat for older siblings because it can accommodate up to two seats.

There are plenty of other options out there, too. Many 2 in 1 travel systems include an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used right from the moment of birth. However, most of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. It is essential to choose a product that is compatible with your specific car model and is safe to be installed. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to see if they offer roadside assistance in case you require assistance in a installation or any other problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is an easy-to-transport small cot that can be attached to a pram frame. It lets babies sleep comfortably traveling. It's perfect for use from birth until your child is able to sit up without assistance, typically around 6 months. A carrycot is also a great alternative to a moses basket or crib and can also double as a travel cot for those away from home. The carrycot on a 2 in 1 pram for travel typically has a large flat base that is designed to accommodate your baby's natural sleeping position, which aids healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, such as the doofy Stargazer are also suitable for sleep at night and can be easily collapsed and stored away when not in use.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams pair a pushchair with the option of a car seat or a carrycot, so you can choose the most suitable mode of transport for your trip. They are heavier than 2 in 1 models and could be preferred for parents who prefer a traditional pram look. Many of these models also offer the ability to remove the pushchair seat unit and you can use it as a lightweight stroller when your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have a carrycot usually have a lightweight chassis that folds flat, making them more compact and can easily fit into smaller cars. They also have a range of features that make them more convenient like large shopping baskets and rain covers.

If you are looking for a 2 in 1 travel system pram with a carrycot, ensure that the product you are considering is suitable for your child and meets the latest European safety standards. For instance, ensure that the carrycot complies with the new standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the earlier EN zero+:2014+AC, 2015 and will be obligatory by June 2024). Also, look out for accessories such as footmuffs weather shields, and tray for the child and parent to ensure that your child will feel comfy and secure while they're sleeping in their cot.

Stroller

If your baby is able to sit comfortably in a car-seat for infants and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best option. Strollers are easy to fold and are usually compact enough to fit in the boot of your car. They come with plenty of storage space to accommodate all of your baby's necessities and will also offer the most comfortable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet to allow for napping in the car. The most reliable strollers come with the latest safety features, including 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for those who are new parents.

Many modern prams and strollers have adaptors that make possible to connect the car capsule into the chassis which allows you to move your sleeping baby from car to stroller without disturbing them. This is an excellent feature, particularly for parents who are constantly in motion. It lets them do essential errands and not be able to disturb their child. This is best demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a stroller that is lightweight that can be converted into a carrycot, or a group child seat for 0+.

They're easy to handle and can carry a large amount of luggage. They're however heavy to carry and may be difficult to fit into a taxi or small trunks of your car however, they're ideal for long walks due to their space and comfort.

The newest 3 in 1 prams come with a more modern and sophisticated design. They come with frames that fold up like an umbrella, and also a portable baby seat or carrycot. These can be used from birth and are typically smaller than traditional prams, while the carrycot is transformed into an infant seat that can face your child's face and recline when they're ready. Our range includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a excellent value option that includes an infant car seat, a carryingcot and pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is like a traditional pram but folds much smaller and is ideal for travel on trains with a lot of traffic or if you don't have space to keep the full-size pram. Some of them can be converted into pushchairs, so your baby can lay flat from birth. Others can be transformed into a travel system by adding a car seat. Some of the brands that sell these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel bundle includes a carrycot, a pushchair and car seat for the ultimate convenience. Simply click the car seat onto the frame of the pushchair and your baby will be able to enjoy comfortable, peaceful excursions from the time of birth. Once your baby is old enough, you can change the pram into a stroller and give a modern twist on the traditional look. The Ickle Bubba Juli Travel System bundle is a great example of this. It comes with the Carrycot, Infant car seat and is suitable for babies up to age 1.
