Choosing a Pushchair Travel System

The choice to purchase the right pushchair newborn for your family is one of the most important choices you make as a parent. There are a variety of factors to take into consideration, whether you choose a travel bundle due to its convenience and cost savings or a frame that is separate and car seats that are compatible to ensure maximum flexibility.

Fortunately, this guide will help you make the right option that will meet your needs and lifestyle.

What is a travel systems?

A travel system is an infant pushchair that is able to take a baby car seat and some come with the option of a carrycot too. It's a great option for parents who are new as it means you can easily move your baby from the car to the pushchair without disturbing them - ideal for quick excursions to the shops or go on a nursery run.

A good travel system can be glued to the frame of your pushchair and will fit perfectly into your car. This will ensure a comfortable journey for your child. It's a great option because you'll only need to make one purchase for your baby's arrival. You'll also save money.

There are many different types of travel systems 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 changing bag with a matching color and car seat accessories and should you want to simplify things there are travel system bundles that come with everything you require in one purchase. This is the best way to be sure that all the components work - no searching 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 decide to purchase an option that includes a carrycot then ensure that the seat of the pushchair is fully reclined, allowing your baby to rest comfortably in the position recommended to develop their breathing and spine. Also, think about whether the handlebar is adjustable in height to ensure it is comfortable for you and your companion or any other person who may utilize it frequently.

Most 'from birth' pushchairs come with a reversible seat so that you can choose the position of your child's seat, either facing you (to help them develop their communication skills) or in a world-facing position, to encourage their curiosity and allow them to see where they are going. Some travel systems have a reversible seat unit that attaches directly to the frame of the pushchair, without having to take it off. This lets you easily transfer your child from the car to the stroller and in reverse.

Not all infant car seats work with all pushchairs. Some travel systems include all the adaptors you need included in the box, while others might require them to be bought separately. Be sure to check the specifications of the product or ask your local retailer.

How do you find it to manoeuvre?

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

It's important to remember that the majority of the brands have designed them to function together. This means you can be sure that they will all fit and work well. Buying everything together can be a great idea and is almost always cheaper than buying them separately. Being in a position to move your sleepy baby from the car seat to a stroller for the nursery walk or even a trip to shops without disrupting them is a huge plus. Travel systems are worth the expense.

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

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 infants as it allows them to sleep in a flat position.

Once the baby has outgrown 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. Many travel systems are sold with a separate stroller seat but certain models, such as the Doona and the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, have one piece design, which means that the car seat folds up into a pushchair, and baby accessories then back again to go into the base of your vehicle.

If you choose to use a car seat or a carrycot on your pushchair, make sure to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and always follow their weight, age and size limits. Also, be sure to check if your pushchair and car seat have been recalled as part of an recall for safety.

Many pushchairs come with accessories to enhance your experience. For instance, a footmuff will protect your child from the elements while a parasol made of SPF/UPF50+ fabric keeps them sheltered from the sun. Some pushchairs include a ride-on board designed 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 be able to accommodate infants until a certain weight and age. It's contingent on the car seat/pushchair combo that you select and also on the kind of lifestyle you have. So it's essential to review the specifications carefully. It's also important to check the brakes on your selected model. They should be sturdy and easy to operate.

Many brands include infant car seat adaptors in their travel systems packages which allow you to easily clip your baby's car seat onto the frame of the pushchair to be effortlessly moved from car to stroller. This allows you to get out with your baby much more convenient. This ensures that your baby will be able to utilize their stroller even after they are out of the car seat and carrycot. This is a great choice for families that are busy and have plenty of things to do each day.

How easy is it to fold?

Some pushchairs can be folded with a single press. Some folds require two hands, or a few steps, but they are still extremely compact. Some models even have the ability to stand upright when folded, making it easy to hold. This type of design is ideal if you live in a city, or commute regularly and wish to make the transition from your car to a pushchair a seamless process, or when you have a small boot and need a model that folds down to fit into it.

Depending on the model, some travel system pushchairs can also be used from birth by adding an infant car seat. Some models are approved to be used in the cabin of planes, making them suitable for parents who prefer to travel with their family.

If you opt for a pushchair and car seat bundle, this is the most affordable option to purchase. The bundle is developed by the brand that includes a car seat and pushchair that are designed to work in tandem. Some pushchairs list the car seats that they are compatible with, and you can purchase the car seat separately. (This might require converters for car seats.) MFM Editor Gemma's pick of the best travel system that is lightweight is the Babyzen YOYO because of its innovative features and a stunning one-second fold.

What is it like?

A travel system bundle is a great way to buy a pushchair and car seat together with the added benefit of comfort, security and, in most cases, cost savings. These bundles are created by retailers or brands, with each piece carefully selected to work perfectly together. That means you don't have to do a lot of research on the best car seat with your ideal pushchair or searching on the internet for a footmuff or changing bag that complements the design.

They normally consist of a frame for a pushchair that is suitable for a car seat. They usually include a carrycot or a seat unit that can be used both 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.

If you are planning to do a lot driving and walking, a travel system is a good choice. You can easily transfer your child from the car to the pushchair and vice versa without having to disrupt them or find a secure parking place. They also can save space in your car's boot making it easier to visit the shops or take your child to school.
