Buying a travel system

Average rating:

Why buy a travel system?
A travel system is the name for a pushchair that uses the same base, or chassis, to hold a car seat. It saves time and effort, as your baby's car seat just slots onto a frame that you can then push around town. All of this means that you won't disturb your baby.

The pushchair-and-travel seat combination is called a 2-in-1, add a separate carrycot and it becomes a 3-in-1. If you don't use a car, opt for a pram and pushchair combo.

Things to consider

Is the travel system suitable from birth? If it doesn't have a lie-flat pram it will only be suitable from 6 months.
Is it easy to slot the car seat onto the chassis and main frame?
Is the pushchair easy to push?
Do you want a lightweight pushchair for a quick dash to the shops, or a more sturdy one for long countryside walks?
Car seats that come with travel systems tend to last until 9 months.
