Choosing Between a pram and travel system (redirect to Madebyai)

A travel system is an ideal option for those looking for an infant car seat that grows with your family. They usually come with an automobile capsule and a bassinet or carrycot for infants, and usually include the option of a pushchair travel system for older babies.

They let you get in and out of the car without waking your baby. There are many reasons why parents love them.

Convenience

It is possible to move your baby from the car to the running pram with an infant travel system. This is ideal for parents who have to rush around to do errands or go shopping. This also lets you make the most of park walks and road excursions without having to swap equipment for each scenario.

Some travel systems come with an adult facing or reversible seating option so that you can watch your child sleep, while keeping them in a safe and comfortable. Many have additional features like extra padding, ergonomic supports and storage baskets, making them an ideal option for babies.

Some travel systems can accommodate twins, or a second baby in the seat. This is a great option to reduce the number of strollers and car seat you require in your home in the event of an extensive family.

Many popular brands of prams come with adapters for infant car seats which allow you to attach an appropriate capsule and use it as stroller. This can be an affordable alternative to buying a separate childs pram, baby car seat, bassinet or carrycot.

Travel system bundles could include everything you require to go on outings, starting from the time of birth. This includes a compatible infant seat that fits into the carrycot or bassinet of the pram and a triple pushchair that features an upright seat. Some bundles also include other accessories such as raincovers, changing bags and coffee cup holders.

It is also important to check a travel system bundle's weight limits as some may be oversized, which could impact safety and functionality. Make sure you purchase a travel system which is suitable for your child and adhering to the weight limit recommended by the manufacturer. Speak to a local expert for advice if you're not sure.
