However, most of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. It is essential to select one that is compatible with your vehicle model and can be installed safely. Check the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website as well as the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to find out if they offer roadside assistance should you need help in a installation or any other issue.
Carrycot
A carrycot is a small portable cot that is attached to the frame of a pram and allows newborns to sleep comfortably while traveling. It's perfect for use from birth until the time your baby is able to sit up unaided, typically around 6 months. A carrycot is a great alternative to a crib or moses basket and can double up as a travel cot for those you are away from home. The carrycot of a two in1 travel system pram is usually flat and large. It supports your baby's natural sleeping position and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots like the doofy Stargazer are suitable for nighttime sleep and can be easily folded and stored when not being used.
The majority of 3 in 1 prams include a pushchair, car seat and carrycot, allowing you to select the best mode of transport for each journey. They tend to be bulkier than their 2 in 1 counterparts and may be preferred by parents who like the classic look of a pram. Many of these models also come with the option of removing the seat unit for the pushchair which allows you to use it as a lightweight stroller after your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.
They are usually lightweight and fold flat. This makes them easy to be tucked away in smaller vehicles. They have many features that make them more convenient. They include large shopping baskets, rain covers, and lightweight chassis.
If you are looking for a 2 in 1 travel system pram with a carrycot, make sure that the product you're contemplating is suitable for your child and meets the latest European safety standards. For example, check that the carrycot meets the latest standard EN 1466:2023 (which replaces the previous EN zero+:2014+AC, 2015 and will be obligatory by June 2024). Also, look for carrycot accessories like footmuffs, weather shields, and tray dishes for both parents and children to help your little one feel comfortable and secure when they sleep in their cot.
Stroller
If your child can sit comfortably in an infant car-seat and is able to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best choice. Strollers are easy to fold and compact and will typically fit in the boot of cars. They come with plenty of storage space to allow for all of your baby's needs and also provide an enjoyable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Some strollers have a large bassinet for naps while on the move. The best strollers have the latest safety features such as 5-point harnesses, making them the ideal option for any new parent.
Modern prams and strollers come with adaptors which allow you to connect a car capsule to the chassis. This lets you transfer your sleeping baby without disturbing them. This is a fantastic feature for parents who are always in motion. It lets them do essential errands and not be able to disturb their child. This is best demonstrated by the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller that can be converted into a carrycot or a group child seat for 0+.
They are simple to handle and hold a lot of luggage. However, they're quite heavy to carry and are difficult to fit into a taxi or small trunk of your car however, they're ideal for long walks due to their spaciousness and comfort.
The latest 3 in 1 prams come with an updated and modern design. They come with frames that fold up like an umbrella, and a convertible baby seat or carrycot that can be removed. These are able to be used at birth and are less bulky than traditional prams. Furthermore, the carrycot can be converted to a seat that will face your child and recline when they're ready. Our collection includes the Kinderkraft Juli which is a good value choice that comes with an infant car seat, carryingcot and pushchair.

Many of them convert into pushchairs, so that your baby can lie flat from birth, and some can also convert into a travel system with the inclusion of a car seat. Some of the brands that stock these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.
A 3-in-1 travel set includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat. This is the most convenient way to travel.
