A 2 In 1 Pushchair pram in 1 Travel System

A stroller and car seat combination is the best option for those who want to travel with ease or create a modern version of the pram. Take a look at the specifications carefully to ensure your chosen car seat and pushchair are compatible, or think about buying an adaptor.

Editor-tested travel systems let you transfer your newborn baby in a seamless manner from the car to the stroller, without disturbing them. Some travel systems include an infant carrycot to help encourage the natural sleeping.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system that includes an infant car seat as well as a stroller that snap together. It's a great option for caregivers and parents who frequently run errands with their infant or take their little baby out on rideshares or public transportation. "You have less gear to deal with," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's perfect for families that alternate between carpooling with other moms and using public transit."

The best option is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which receives 90 percent of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing car seat that transforms into a stroller with wheels in a matter of seconds. When not in use the wheels can be folded down and it is small. The Doona can also be connected to a car's backseat using the sturdy LATCH base or to taxi safety belts. This makes it ideal for city families.

The Mamas & Papas Pramette is another top car seat/stroller combination, featuring a pram that has an hood and a front seat that open to allow you to lie your child down for naptime or feedings. It comes with a huge basket, cup holders and an umbrella shade for your baby's essentials. The stroller seat can recline in a variety of positions, and it can even be flat so that your child will be able to relax on every ride.

The weight and height limits are important. Also, consider whether the infant car seat is only compatible with a backseat belt or if it has a rigid LATCH system integrated into. Also look for a lock on the handle to ensure it stays secure and the ability to tilt the handle toward the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats which can be turned forward later, cannot be converted into strollers. Because of this, many moms choose to purchase an additional stroller and car seat when their baby pram 2 in 1 grows out of the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for the new parents. Some travel systems have a baby stroller that can transform into a cosy infant carrycot, so your little one can sleep peacefully in the car which is ideal for parents of newborns and those who do not want to disturb their children when travelling. Depending on the brand it may also come with the option of a stroller and car seat combo that clicks into one another. This means you can keep your child safely secured in the car seat, and then move them to a stroller without disturbing them, which is ideal for long drives and busy shopping centres.

A great stroller should include numerous features that make it simple to use and practical. It should come with a large basket where you can store essentials like nappies as well as snacks, toys and other items. It should also be capable of reclining to give your baby a restful and comfortable sleep. It should also have an adequate canopy to shield your baby from the sun, and a lockable front wheel for added safety. It should also be light and compact to store it in and transportation to and from the car.

Travel system strollers that have been tested by an editor such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all offer convenience by connecting to a variety top car seats that click to attach to the frame and fold up effortlessly. Some have one wheel on each leg to make them easier to move and move across different surfaces.

A stroller should be able to function through toddlerhood and beyond if you require it to continue to transport your child to and from school as well as to play dates and activities. When your child outgrows their car seat, you should choose a stroller which is able to seat your child in the world and reclines.

If you plan on using your 2 in 1 pushchair pram-in-1 travel system on public transportation you should look for one with an ISOFIX base to ensure that it is safe to get on and off buses or trains. Certain models, like the Doona can be fitted on trains and planes to make travelling with a baby easier.
