Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram includes a car seat that can be clicked into the stroller. It can also be converted into an infant carrycot. This makes it a one-stop shop for your baby's initial years. They are generally more expensive than standard strollers but the convenience and safety of transferring your baby from your car to the stroller with no disturbance is worth the extra cost.

There are alternatives to choose from. A majority of 2 in 1 travel system prams come with baby car seats and stroller that can be used from birth, but the majority of car seats don't work with all strollers 2 in 1, which is why it's essential to conduct your research before you buy. The most important thing is to choose a product that can work with the specific car model you have and is safe to be installed. Go to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website and manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also inquire with your insurance provider for roadside assistance if you need assistance in installing something or addressing other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a small portable cot that can be attached to a pram frame and allows infants to rest comfortably while on the move. It's ideal from birth until your baby is able to sit up unassisted, usually at around 6 months. A carrycot can also be used as an alternative to a crib or moses basket. It can also double up as a travel bed when you're away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in1 travel system pram is usually flat and large. It assists your baby's natural sleeping position and encourages healthy growth.

Most 3 in 1, combination prams combine a pushchair with an infant car seat or carrycot, which means you can choose the most suitable mode of transport for your journey.

These models often have the option to remove the pushchair so that you can use them as lightweight strollers when your child is old enough to sit up straight and face you.

Look out for carrycot accessories like weather shields and footmuffs. You can also find parent and child trays.

Stroller

If your baby is able to comfortably sit in a car-seat for infants and is able to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best option. Strollers are easy to fold and compact and will typically fit in the boot of a car. They come with plenty of storage space to allow for all of your baby's needs. They also provide a comfortable ride for your child even over rough terrain. Some have a spacious bassinet that allows for naps on the go. The most effective strollers include the latest safety features such as 5-point harnesses, making them a great option for parents who are just starting out.

A lot of modern strollers and prams have adaptors that make it possible to snap the car capsule into the chassis, allowing you to transfer your sleeping baby from car to pushchair without disturbing them.
