A travel system is a pushchair that can be fitted with the baby car seat and some come with the option of a carrycot too. Parents with newborns will appreciate this option because they can easily transfer their sleeping baby from their car into the pushchair.

A quality travel system will fit snuggly into your car, and then click onto the pushchair frame to provide a seamless journey for your little one. It's also a convenient option since it means that you only need to purchase one item in the process of getting ready for the arrival of your child - and it'll usually reduce your expenses too.

There are many different types of travel systems that are available with options ranging from budget-friendly choices to top-of-the-line brands like TYPO or JANE. A majority of them come with matching coordinating changing bag and car seat accessories and If you're looking to simplify things there are travel system bundles that come with everything you need in just one purchase. This is an excellent way to make sure all the components work without having to look online for a car seat that is compatible and finding out you'll need additional adaptors too!

What are the seat recline options?

If you choose a travel system with a carrycot, ensure that the pushchair seat is fully reclined, allowing your baby to rest comfortably in the recommended position to develop their breathing and spine. You should also consider whether the handlebar is height-adjustable so that it's comfortable for you and your companion, or anyone else who may use it regularly.

The majority of pushchairs that are 'from-birth' come with a reversible seat so you can choose whether your child will face the parent (to help develop communication skills) or to the world, to stimulate curiosity and let them know where they're going. Some travel systems come with an reversible seat unit that attaches directly to the frame of the pushchair, without having to remove it. This allows you to easily transfer your baby from the car to the stroller and in reverse.

Check that the car seat you select is compatible with your pushchair, as not all infant car seats can be connected to all pushchairs, without adaptors. Some travel systems include all the adaptors required in the box. Others might require that you purchase adaptors on your own. You can find out if this is the case by checking the product's details or asking at your local retailer.

How do I get around it?

Carrycots are light and easy to attach, but they're best used with babies up to 6 months old. They should be paired with a pushchair that can lie flat to allow the baby to be in a fully reclined posture which is ideal for their spine and lung development. Carrycots are light and easy to attach, but they should be used with infants that are less than 6 months old. They should always be used in conjunction with a pushchair that is lying flat to allow the baby to be fully reclined position. This is best for their spinal and lung development.

It's important to keep in mind that the majority of brands have designed them to work as a unit. You can be sure that everything will fit and function well. Buying everything in one location can be a great idea and is usually cheaper than buying them separately. It's an enormous benefit to be able to move your baby's sleepy body from the car seat to the stroller in order to go to the nursery or to shop without disturbing them. This is why we believe that it's worth the cost.

How easy is it attaching a car seat or a carrycot?

Most 'from-birth pushchairs can be clicked onto a compatible car seat or carrycot to make the transition from your car to street easy. This is ideal for infants as it allows them to rest in a flat position.

When the baby is outgrowing their car seat (usually until the age of 18 months) the majority of travel systems can also be used with a stroller seat, meaning that they will last longer as your child grows. A lot of travel systems come with a separate stroller, but certain models, such as the Doona and the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, have one piece design, which means that the car seat unfolds into a pushchair, and then back again to fit into the base of your vehicle.

If you decide to use the car seat or carrycot on your pushchair, be certain to read the instructions provided by the manufacturer and always adhere to their age, weight and size limitations. Check if the car seat and pushchair have been recalled for safety reasons.

Many pushchairs come with extra accessories that can improve your experience. For instance, a footmuff can help protect your child from the elements, whereas the parasol made of SPF/UPF 50+ fabrics, can keep them shady when it's sunny. Some pushchairs include an ride-on board for toddlers who are eager to explore the world, but require a little assistance.

What is the weight limit?

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 pick and what your lifestyle is like. So it's important to check these specifications carefully. It's also important to check the brakes of your chosen model. They should be sturdy and easy to operate.

Many brands include infant car seat adaptors in their travel system bundles that allow you to attach your baby's car seat onto the pushchair frame so that they can be effortlessly moved from car to stroller. This makes the entire process of getting out and about with a newborn much quicker and simpler. This means that your baby can still use their stroller once they grow out of the car seat and carrycot. This is a great option for families who are busy and have lots of things to do every day.

How easy is it to fold?

Some pushchairs can be folded by a single button press. Others require two hands or just a couple of steps, but they manage to fold down to a small size. Some models are even able to stand upright when folded, making it easy to grab. This kind of design is ideal for those who live in the city or commute, and need to make the transition from a car to a pushchair seamless, or if you have a small boot and need a model that folds down to fit into it.

Some travel system pushchairs, depending on the model can be used as early as the time of birth, by incorporating an infant car seat or carrycot. Some models are approved to be used in the cabin of flights, which makes them perfect for parents who like to travel with their family.

If you decide to purchase a pushchair and car seat bundle, it's the most cost-effective option to purchase. The bundle is usually created by the brand and consists of a pushchair and car seat that are designed to work together. Some pushchairs will list the car seats that they are compatible with and you can buy an additional seat. (This might require car seat converters.) The Babyzen YOYO is Gemma's top pick for the most travel systems that are lightweight, thanks to its unique features and one-second folding.

What does it look like?

A travel system bundle offers ease of use, security and savings. These bundles are assembled by retailers or brands. All the parts are carefully selected for compatibility. This means you don't have to spend time researching the best car seat with your ideal pushchair or search online for a footmuff or changing bag that complements the style.

Some convert to a twin/tandem if you're expecting more than one baby.

If you are planning to do a lot driving and walking, a transport system is a great choice. It is simple to move your child from the car to the pushchair and vice versa without having to disrupt them or find a secure parking spot. They also can save space in your car's boot, making it easier to visit the shops or run the school run.
