What is a travel system?

A travel system is a stroller that has the capacity to accommodate a car seat for your baby and some come with carrycots. Parents with newborns will appreciate this option since they can easily move their baby in a sleep position from their car into the pushchair.

A quality travel system will fit comfortably into your car and then connect to the frame of your pushchair to ensure a smooth journey for your little one. It's also a great choice since that you only need to buy one thing when getting ready for the arrival of your child and will typically cost less too.

There are a variety of travel systems that include matching car seat accessories including changing bags, changing bags and mats for changing. If you're looking to make your life easier by purchasing an entire travel system which includes everything you need. This is the best travel pushchair way to be sure that all the components work without having to look for a car seat that is compatible and finding out you need additional adaptors!

What are the various options for reclined seats?

If you decide to purchase a travel system that includes a carrycot, ensure that the pushchair seat is fully reclined to allow your baby to rest comfortably in the recommended position to develop their breathing and spine. It is also important to consider whether the handlebar is height-adjustable so that it can be comfortable for you as well as your companion or anyone else who may utilize it frequently.

The majority of pushchairs that are 'from birth' come with a reversible seat to allow you to choose which position your child is facing towards you (to increase their communication skills) or world-facing, to encourage their curiosity and let them know where they are going. Some travel systems have a reversible seating unit that attaches directly to the frame of the pushchair, without having to take it off. This allows you to easily transfer your child from the car to the stroller, and in reverse.

Check that the car seat you choose is compatible with your pushchair, since not all infant car seats can be connected to all pushchairs without additional adaptors. Some travel systems come with all the adaptors required included in the box. Others may require you purchase adaptors on your own. Be sure to check the specifications of the product or contact your local retailer.

How do you find it to move around?

Carrycots are light and easy to attach, but they should be used for babies that are less than 6 months old. They should be used with a pushchair that can lie flat to allow the baby to be in a fully reclined position which is ideal for their lung and spinal development. Carrycots can be attached easily and are lightweight. They're ideal for infants under 6 months and should be used with a lie flat pushchair. This lets the baby sit in a fully reclining position which is beneficial for their spine development and lung development.

It's important to keep in mind that the majority of brands have designed them to function together. You can be sure that everything will fit and perform well. Buying all your products in one place can be convenient and usually cheaper than buying them separately. Also, being in a position to move your sleepy baby from the car seat to stroller for the nursery or to go to shops without disturbing them is a big benefit. That's why we think it's worth the money.

How easy is it to attach a carrycot or car seat?

The majority of pushchairs 'from birth' can be connected to an appropriate baby car seat or carrycot for easy transitions from your vehicle to the street. This is great for infants and allows them to sleep in the position recommended for them to sleep.

When the baby is outgrowing their infant car seat (usually up to the age of 18 months) most travel systems can also be used with a twin stroller seat, meaning that they will last longer as your child grows. The majority of travel systems come with a separate stroller, however some, like the Doona or the Evenflo Shyft DualRide have a single piece design that allows the car seat to fold into the pushchair, and then folded back into the base of the vehicle.

If you decide to use a car seat or carrycot on your pushchair, be sure you read the instructions and follow the weight, age, Baby Strollers and size limitations. Also, verify if your pushchair or car seat have been recalled as part of an recall for safety.

A lot of pushchairs come with accessories to make your experience more enjoyable. For example the footmuff can shield your child from the elements while a parasol made of SPF/UPF50+ fabric keeps them shaded in the sun. Some pushchairs come with a ride-on board designed for toddlers who want to explore the world but require a little assistance.

What is the weight restriction?

A pushchair travel system is typically designed to fit babies until a certain weight and age. It's contingent on the car seat/pushchair combination that you choose, as well as your lifestyle. So it's crucial to examine these specifications thoroughly. It's also important that you check the brakes on your chosen model. They should be strong and easy-to-operate.

Many brands offer infant seat adaptors with their travel system packages. This allows you to easily clip the car seat of your baby onto the frame of the stroller. This makes the entire process of exploring the world with a newborn much quicker and easier. This ensures that your baby will be able to use their folding stroller once they are out of the car seat and carrycot. This is a great option for families that have busy lives and a lot to do every day.

How easy is it to fold?

Some pushchairs can be folded by a single button press. Some folds require two hands or a few steps, but are still very compact. Some models are even able to stand up when folded, making it simple to grab. This kind of design is ideal if you live in the city or commute, and wish to make the transition from a car to a pushchair a seamless process, or when you have a small space in your boot and require a product that folds really small to fit into it.

Depending on the model, travel system pushchairs can be used from birth when you add an infant car seat. Some models are approved to be used in the cabin of flights, which makes them perfect for parents who prefer to travel with their families.

If you decide to purchase a pushchair and car seat bundle, this is the most economical method of purchasing. The bundle is developed by the brand, and it consists of a car seat and pushchair that are designed to work in tandem. Some pushchairs list the car seats they are compatible with and you can also purchase the car seat separately. (This might require converters for car seats.) MFM Editor Gemma's pick of the best lightweight travel system is the Babyzen YOYO due to its clever features and incredible one-second fold.

What does it look like?

A travel system bundle is an excellent option to purchase a cheap stroller and car seat together and also enjoy the benefits of convenience, reassurance and often a cost saving. These bundles are designed by brands or retailers, with each component carefully selected to work seamlessly. This means you don't have to research which car seat will work with your ideal pushchair or trawling online for a sock or changing bag that fits the style.

They are typically composed of a frame that fits into a car seat group 0+ and include a carrycot or seat unit, that can be used forward-facing or facing the parent based on your preference or regulations (rear-facing is recommended for cars until 15 months). Some convert to twins/tandems in the event that you're expecting more one baby.

If you are planning to do a lot driving and walking, a travel system is a great choice. It is easy to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair, and vice versa without having to disturb them or find a secure parking spot. They can also save you space in the boot of your car and make it easier to go shopping or do the school run.
