The best 2 in 1 stroller and car seat in 1 travel system prams make it simple to transition your baby from the car to stroller and back. Editor-tested and approved, these sets come with an infant car seat that snaps into a matching stroller frame to ensure a smooth ride for your child.

Be aware that these car seats can only be used with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, which are designed to remain in the car). The age and weight restrictions differ by product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram includes a car seat that clicks into the stroller and can also transform into a carrycot, which makes it a one-stop shop for your baby's first years. They tend to be more expensive than standard strollers however the ease and security of moving your newborn from the car to the stroller without disturbing them is well worth the additional cost.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combo provides a modern take on the traditional pram. It is a favourite among parents. The Vista stroller is able to glide easily, and the Mesa car seat can be slid into your vehicle with UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it easier to install than other models. Additionally, the stroller can be used as a bassinet, or in carriage mode and you can change the seat's direction between rear-facing and forward-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combo is a highly-rated product that is ideal for parents who are new.

There are a variety of other options available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems come with an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used from the time of birth. However, the majority of these car seats aren't compatible with all strollers. The most important thing is to purchase a high-quality product that works with your particular car model and that can be safely installed. Check the manufacturer's guidelines and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to inquire if they offer roadside assistance in case you need help with an installation or other issue.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that can be attached to the frame of a pram and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while on the move. It is ideal to use from birth up until your baby is able to sit without assistance, which is usually around six months. A carrycot can be used as a substitute to a crib or a moses basket. It could also serve as a bed to use when you're away from home. The carrycot on two-in-one travel system pram typically has a wide flat base that is designed to support your baby's natural sleeping position which aids healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, like the didofy Stargazer, are also suitable for sleep at night and can be easily folded and stored away when not in use.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams pair a pushchair and an infant car seat or carrycot, allowing you to pick the best method of transport for your trip. These are bulkier than the 2 in 1 pram pushchair in 1 models, and can be preferred for parents who prefer a classic pram pushchair 2 in 1 style. Many of these models also come with the option of removing the seat for the pushchair, so you can use it as a lightweight stroller once your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

2 in 1 travel system prams that have carrycots typically come with a light chassis and fold flat, so they're more compact and can easily fit into smaller cars. They have many features that make them more convenient. These include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.

Verify whether the 2 in 1 baby pram in 1 travel system with a carrycot that you are considering is safe and conforms to the most recent European safety standard. For example, check whether the carrycot is compliant with the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the earlier EN 0+:2014+AC:2015, and will become obligatory by 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 sleep in their cot.

Stroller

If your child can sit comfortably in a car-seat for infants and is able to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best choice. Strollers are easy to fold, compact and can often fit into the boot of a car. They come with plenty of storage space to allow for all of your baby's needs. They also offer an enjoyable ride for your child, even over rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet to allow for napping on the move. The top strollers come with the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses, making them a great choice for all new parents.

Modern prams and strollers have adaptors that allow you to connect a car capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your sleeping baby without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature, especially for parents who are always on the move. It allows them to run essential errands and not have to disturb their baby. The Doona travel system stroller is an excellent example of this; it is a compact and lightweight stroller that can be transformed into a cosy carrycot and car seat group 0+, making it the perfect option for parents who are always who are always on the move.

They're easy to handle and carry a large amount of luggage. They are heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to squeeze in a small car trunk or taxi. However, their comfort and spaciousness make them ideal for long walks.
