What to Look Out For in a Prams Travel System
A travel system for prams makes life with a baby so much simpler. Typically, it includes an infant car seat and stroller, they can be purchased in bundles or separately to meet families’ individual needs.
Being able to transfer sleeping babies easily from car to pram to nip into shops or do the nursery run is really convenient. You can keep your child in the rear for longer when you select a seat that is reversible.
Convenience
The first few weeks following the birth of your baby can be a whirlwind of sleeping in the dark, endless nappy changes and organising everything that is required for your new adventure. Many parents opt for a prams-travel system, which includes everything they need for their newborn including a car seat that is compatible with the stroller.
By affixing a compatible infant car seat to the frame of the stroller and using a matching carrycot or lie-flat pushchair seat for your baby, you have an eye-catching modern take on the traditional stroller that will fit your baby right from birth and into the initial few years.
This allows you to transfer your child who is sleeping in the car to the pram, or vice versa, without disrupting them. This is particularly beneficial for those who want to run errands or go shopping without disrupting their precious sleep. It’s also convenient for parents with two children who often depend on the help of family and friends, and might make use of their own vehicle to get to and from work rather than taxis or public transport.
Many strollers and baby prams have a large bassinet, or carry unit that can be used as an infant car seat carrier. These are known as 3 in 1 prams and they are a great option for a new parent who wants a stress-free practical solution to get out and about.
When your child is old enough to sit and sit up, you can remove the infant car seat from the pram and use it as a regular stroller. Your baby will be comfy in their car seat, and you can use your hands to carry bags, food, and drinks.
If you prefer to purchase a separate pram and car seat There are a variety of models available from top brands that snap together. Some models also come with adapters to fit different baby car seats. This lets you make your own travel system for your family. This is an excellent option for those who already have an existing stroller or car seat which they’d like to keep as it will save them money by not having to purchase a new car seat.
Safety
The biggest advantage of the travel system is that it is easy to get your baby into and out the car. This is particularly beneficial for parents who are first-time parents, when they have to drop their children off at school or daycare. It’s also a great option for tired parents, as the capsule can be transferred from the car to the stroller without waking your child. While capsules are suitable for newborns to 6 or 12 months, many parents prefer the long-lasting durability of a convertible 0-4 year seat that is rear-facing until your child is ready to be able to face forwards at school and other activities.
