The most efficient 2 in 1 travel system prams let you easily switch your child between the stroller and a car. These sets have been tested by editors and approved. They include an infant seat that snaps onto the matching stroller frame for an easy ride.

Note that these car seats only work with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats that are designed to be used in the car). The age and weight restrictions vary by product.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system pram comes with a car seat that clicks into the stroller. It also has the ability to transform into a carrycot, making it the perfect one-stop shop for your baby's first few years. They tend to be more expensive than standard strollers but the convenience and safety of moving your infant from the car to the stroller with no disturbance is well worth the extra cost.

A modern take on an old-fashioned pram, the UPPAbaby car seat and pram set is a favourite for parents. The Vista stroller is easy to maneuver, 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. The pram can also be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also change the seat's orientation from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax infant car seat and stroller combination is another popular choice that's ideal for parents who are new. Like the Doona, it can convert into a rolling bassinet or stroller with the option of reclining seats that face your child to the rear or front of the stroller based on their preference. It is easy to use and can accommodate two car seats.

There are a variety of other options available as well. A majority of 2 in 1 travel system prams come with a baby car seat and stroller that can be used from birth, however most of those car seats aren't compatible with all strollers, so it's important to do your research prior to purchasing. The important thing is to choose a product that works with the specific car model you have and that can be safely installed. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and the manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also inquire with your insurance company if it offers roadside assistance if you need help installing something or addressing other issues.

Carrycot

A carrycot is an easy-to-transport small cot that can be affixed to a frame for a pram. It lets babies rest comfortably while traveling. It's ideal for use from birth until your baby is able to sit without assistance, typically around 6 months. A carrycot can be used as a substitute to a crib or moses basket. It can also be used as a travel bed when you're away from home. The carrycot that comes with the 2 in 1 pram for travel typically has a large flat base, and is designed to accommodate your baby's natural sleeping position which promotes healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots, like the doofy Stargazer can also be used for overnight sleeping and can be easily rolled up and stored when not in use.

Many of these models come with the option of removing the seat for the pushchair and you can use it as a lightweight stroller after your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

Stroller

If your child can 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, compact and can often fit into the boot of cars. They come with plenty of storage space to accommodate all your baby's necessities and will also offer the most comfortable ride for your child, even on rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet for naps while on the move. The most reliable strollers come with the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are an excellent choice for new parents.

The Doona travel system stroller is a fantastic example of this; a lightweight and compact stroller that can be transformed into a comfortable carrycot and car seat for groups 0+ making it the perfect option for busy parents who are always on the move.
