Selecting the right pushchair for your family is among the most important decisions you'll make as a parent.

This guide will help you make the right choice to suit 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 include a carrycot as well. Parents with newborns will appreciate this option because they can easily transfer their baby's sleeping infant from their car into the pushchair.

This is the best way to make sure all components work. Don't waste time searching online for an automobile seat that is functional and then discovering that you'll need adapters!

What are the various options for reclined seating?

If you opt for a travel system that includes a carrycot, then ensure that the seat of the pushchair also fully reclines to ensure your baby is able to sleep comfortably and is at the recommended lie-flat position for spinal and respiratory development. You should also be aware of whether the handlebar is height-adjustable so that it's comfortable for you as well as your companion or anyone else who may utilize it frequently.

The majority of pushchairs that are 'from birth' have a reversible seat unit to allow you to choose whether your child sits parent-facing (to encourage their communication skills) or in a world-facing position to stimulate their curiosity and let them see where they are going. Some travel systems also have an reversible car seat that can be attached directly to the frame of the pushchair, without taking it off it, so you can easily move your child from the car to the stroller, and then back.

Make sure the car seat you choose is compatible with your pushchair, as not all infant car seats can be connected to all pushchairs without the need for adaptors. Some travel systems come with all the adaptors you require in the box, but others may require them to be bought separately. You can find out whether this is the case by checking the product's specifications or asking at the local retailer.

How easy is it to manoeuvre?

They should always be paired with a lie-flat pushchair to allow the baby to be in a fully reclined posture, which is great for their spinal and lung development.

It's important to note that the majority of the brands have designed them to function as a unit. You can be certain that everything will fit and perform as intended. Shopping in one place is convenient and almost always is less expensive than buying items separately. And being in a position to move your sleepy newborn from their car seat to a my babiie stroller for the nursery or folding pram to go to shops without disrupting them is a major benefit.

Many pushchairs come with extra accessories that can improve your experience. For instance, a footmuff is a great way to shield your child from the elements, while an umbrella made of SPF/UPF 50+ fabric, can keep them cool when it's hot. Some also feature an inflatable ride-on board, which is perfect for toddlers who are ready to conquer the world on their own, but require assistance.

What is the weight restriction?

A pushchair travel system is typically designed to accommodate babies until a certain weight and age. This can vary based on the car seat and pushchair combo you select as well as your own requirements for your lifestyle, so it's important to check these specifications carefully.

It also means that when your baby has outgrown their car seat and carrycot, they can utilize the stroller. This is a great choice for families that have hectic lives and plenty to do daily.

How do you fold?

There are a variety of fold types available on pushchairs - some are truly one-handed by pressing one button. Others need two hands or just a couple of steps but still manage to fold down to a small size. Some models even have the ability to stand up when folded, making them easy to carry. This is a great option for those who commute or live in a city and need to make the transition between your car and pushchair seamless. Or if you only have a small car boot.

Based on the model, travel system pushchairs may be used from birth when you add a carrycot or infant car seat. Certain models are approved to be used in the cabin of flights, which makes them ideal for parents who prefer to travel with their families.

These pushchairs are usually composed of a frame that can fit into the car seat group 0+ and include a carrycot, or seat unit, that can be used either forward-facing or facing the parent depending on your preference or regulations (rear-facing is recommended in cars up to 15 months). Some are even able to be transformed into a tandem or twin if you're expecting more than one child.

A travel system is useful if you're planning to be doing a lot of driving and walking with your little one as it means you can transfer them from the car to pushchair, and then back without disturbing them or needing to find a secure place to park. They can also save you space in your car's boot making it easier for you to pop into the shops or run the school run.
