Choosing a Pushchair Travel System
The choice of buying the ideal pushchair for your family is one of the most important decisions you make as a parent. There are many factors to take into consideration, whether you choose an all-in-one travel package for its convenience and initial cost savings, or a separate frame and car seats that are compatible for maximum adaptability.
This guide will help you to make the best decision for your lifestyle and needs.
What is a travel system?
A travel system is a stroller that can accommodate a car seat for your baby, and some even come with carrycots. New parents will love this option because they can easily move their sleeping baby from the car into the pushchair.
A good travel system will click onto your pushchair frame and fit snugly into your car. This allows for a comfortable journey for your child. It's a great option because you'll need only one large purchase for the baby's arrival. It also helps you save money.
There are many different types of travel systems that are available with options ranging from budget-friendly choices to high-end brand names like TYPO or JANE. There are a variety of travel systems that come with matching car seat accessories such as changing bags, changing bags, and changing mats. If you're looking to make your life easier you can purchase a travel system bundle which includes everything you need. This is an excellent way to make sure all of the components work and you don't have to search to find a car seat that's compatible and then finding out that you require additional adaptors!
What are the seat recline options?
If you decide to purchase an option that includes a carrycot, ensure that the pushchair seat is fully reclined, allowing your baby to nap comfortably in the ideal position to develop their breathing and spine. Also, consider whether the handlebar is adjustable in height so that it can be comfortable for you and your companion or any other person who may be using it regularly.
Most 'from-birth' pushchairs have a reversible seat which allows you to choose whether your child will face the parent (to help develop communication skills) or the world to encourage curiosity and inform them of where they're going. Some travel systems also come with an reversible car seat that attaches directly to the frame of the pushchair, without taking it off it, so you can easily move your baby from the car to the stroller and back.
Make sure the car seat you choose is compatible with your pushchair, since not all infant car seats can be connected to all pushchairs, without adaptors. Certain travel systems come with all the adaptors you need included in the box, while others might require them to be purchased separately. You can find out if this is the case by checking the product's specifications or asking at your local retailer.
How easy is it for you to move around?
If you're looking for a transport system to take your newborn from car to pushchair and back again ensure that the chassis of your pushchair isn't too heavy and that you have enough room in your trunk to accommodate a carrycot. Carrycots can be attached easily and are light. They are ideal for babies less than 6 months old and should be used in conjunction with a lie flat pushchair. This allows the baby to be in a fully reclined position, which is beneficial for their spine development and lung development.
If you opt for a travel system bundle or pick and mix the components yourself, it's worth remembering that they're all designed to work as a single unit by the brands. This means you can be confident that they'll all fit and work well. Buying all your items in one place can be a great idea and is generally cheaper than purchasing them separately. Being in a position to move your sleepy newborn from car seat to a stroller for a nursery walk or even a trip to shops without disrupting them is a huge benefit. That's why we think travel systems are definitely worth the money.
How easy is it attaching a car seat or carrycot?
The majority of 'from-birth' pushchairs can be clicked onto a compatible car seat or carrycot to make the transition from your vehicle to the street a breeze. This is ideal for newborns and allows them to sleep in the position recommended for them to sleep.
Most travel systems are sold with a separate stroller travel. However, a few, like the Doona and the Evenflo DualRide, feature one-piece designs so that the car seat folds into a pushchair. Many travel systems are sold with an additional stroller seat, however certain models, such as the Doona and the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, have an all-in-one design that allows the car seat unfolds into the pushchair and then unfolds again to fit into the base of your vehicle.
If you decide to use a carrycot or car seat on your pushchair, make sure you read carefully the instructions and observe the weight, age, and size limitations. Check whether the car seat and pushchair are being recalled due to safety reasons.
Many pushchairs pushchairs come with extra accessories that can help enhance your experience. For instance, the footmuff can protect your child from the elements, whereas a parasol, made from SPF/UPF 50+ fabric, can keep them shaded when it's sunny. Some pushchairs come with 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 up to a maximum weight and age. It will depend on the car seat/pushchair combo that you pick and the kind of lifestyle you have. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the specifications carefully. The same applies to the brakes of your chosen model It is essential to check that these are strong and easy to operate.
Many brands include adaptors for infant carseats in their travel system bundles enabling you to easily attach your baby's car seats onto the pushchair frame to be effortlessly moved from car to stroller. This makes the entire process of exploring the world with a Baby mobility much faster and easier. It also means that when your baby is no longer in their carrycot and car seat they will still be able to utilize the stroller. This is a great option for families with busy lives and a lot to do every day.
How do you fold?
There are a range of fold styles available on pushchairs - some are completely one-handed, by pressing a button. Some folds require two hands or a few steps, however, they are still compact. Some models even stay standing when folded which makes it easy to carry around. This kind of design is ideal if you live in a city, or commute and want to make the transition from your car to a pushchair a seamless process or when you have a small boot and need something that folds up to fit inside it.
Based on the model, some travel system pushchairs may be used from birth by adding a carrycot or infant car seat. Certain models are approved to be used in the cabin of flights, making them perfect for parents who prefer to travel with their family.
The most cost-effective choice is to buy a car seat and an pushchair. The bundle is created by the brand, and it consists of a car seat and pushchair that are designed to work together. Some pushchairs list the car seats they are compatible with and you can also purchase the car seat separately. (This could require car seat converters.) The Babyzen YOYO is Gemma's pick for the most lightweight travel system due to its unique features and one-second folding.

A travel system bundle provides convenience, assurance and cost savings. These bundles are put together by retailers or brands, with all the parts hand-picked to work seamlessly.

They normally consist of a pushchair frame that is suitable for the group 0+ car seat. They usually include a carrycot or seat unit that can be used either facing forward or towards the parent depending on your preference (or regulations, as rear-facing in the car is recommended until 15 months). Some are even able to be transformed into a tandem or twin if you are expecting more than one child.
A travel system can be extremely practical if you're likely to be doing a lot of driving and walking with your little one because it allows you to move them from car to pushchair and back again without disturbing them or needing to find a secure place to park. They also can save space in your car's boot, making it easier for you to visit the shops or take your child to school.
