Choosing Between a Pram and Travel System

A travel system is an ideal option if you're looking for an infant car seat that grows with your family. They typically come with the car capsule or bassinet for infants and typically include a pushchair seat for older babies.

You can use the button to go in and out without waking up your baby. Here's why many parents are in love with them.

Convenience

A travel system offers the convenience of being able to transfer your child from the car into the pram without causing any disturbance to them. This is ideal for those who need to rush around to run errands, or go shopping. This also lets you make the most of park walks and road excursions without having to swap equipment in and out to accommodate every scenario.

Certain travel systems provide the option of facing your child or reversible pushchair seats so you can monitor your baby while they sleep, keeping them safe and comfortable. Some come with additional features such as extra padding, ergonomic support and storage baskets. They are a great option for newborns.

Some travel systems can accommodate twins, pram and travel system or a second baby in the car seat. If you have a large family this could really help reduce the number of strollers and car seats you need to keep in the house.

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

Travel system bundles can include everything you need to take on trips beginning at birth. This includes a compatible infant seat that fits in the carrycot or bassinet of your pram bags, as well as a pushchair that has an upright seat. Some have additional accessories, such as rain covers, changing bags and coffee cup holders to ensure you are prepared for any trip.

It's also important to know a travel system bundle's weight limits as some may be too heavy, which can compromise safety and functionality. You can avoid this by choosing the right travel system suitable for your child and sticking to the weight limits recommended by experts. Talk to a local expert for advice if you are unsure.
