Car Seat

It can also transform into an infant carrycot, making it the perfect one-stop shop for your baby's first few years. They tend to be more expensive than standard strollers, however, the convenience and security of moving your infant from your car to the stroller without causing any disturbance is well worth the additional cost.

There are a variety of alternatives available and they are also available. A majority of 2 in 1 travel system prams come with baby car seats and stroller that can be used from birth, however most of those car seats don't work with all strollers, which is why it's essential to conduct your research prior to purchasing. The important thing is to purchase a high-quality product that works with the specific car model you have and is safe to be installed. Check the manufacturer's guidelines and Consumer Products Safety Commission website for recalls. You can also call your insurance company to inquire if they offer roadside assistance should you require assistance with installation or another 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 out and about. It is a great option to use from birth up until your baby can sit without assistance, which is usually about six months. A carrycot is an excellent alternative to a crib or moses basket and can also double as a travel cot if you are away from home. The carrycot that comes with the 2 in 1 travel system pram typically has a large flat base that is designed to help your baby's natural sleep position, which helps in healthy growth and development. Some of our carrycots such as the didofy Stargazer are suitable for a night's sleeping and can be easily folded and stored when not being used.
The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams are able to combine a pushchair with an infant car seat or carrycot, allowing you to pick the best method of transport for your trip. They are more bulky than 2 in 1 models, and can be preferred by parents who prefer a traditional pram look. Many of these models also have the facility to remove the seat for the pushchair and you can use it as a lightweight stroller when your baby is old enough to sit and face you.
2 in 1 travel system prams that have a carrycot usually have a lightweight chassis and fold flat, so they're smaller and easier to fit into smaller vehicles. They also come with a range of features that make them more convenient like large shopping baskets and rain covers.

Also, look for carrycot accessories such as footmuffs, weather shields, and parent and child trays to help your child feel safe and comfortable while they sleep in their cot.
Stroller
If your child can comfortably sit in an infant car-seat and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best option. Strollers are easy to fold and compact, and often fit into the boot of a car. They are spacious enough to accommodate all of your baby's essentials and provide the comfort of a ride on rough terrain. Some models come with a large bassinet, which allows napping while on the move. The best strollers have the most recent safety features, like 5-point harnesses making them an ideal option for parents who are just starting out.
Modern prams and strollers have adaptors that allow you to connect an automobile capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your baby to sleep without disturbing them.

This is best demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller that can be converted into a carrycot or group 0+ child seat.
