Most 'from-birth' pushchairs come with a reversible seating option so you can decide if your child should face the parent (to encourage communication skills) or to the world, to encourage curiosity and inform them of where they are going. Some travel systems also have a reversible car seat that attaches directly to the pushchair frame without removing it, so that you can easily move your child from the car to the stroller, and then back.

Not all infant car seats are compatible with all pushchairs. Some travel systems include all the adaptors that you require in the box, however others may require them be bought separately. Review the product's specifications or ask your local retailer.

Carrycots are lightweight and easy to attach, but they should be used for newborns up to 6 months old. They should always be paired with a lie-flat pushchair to allow the baby to be fully reclined position, which is best for their lung and spine development.

The majority of travel systems include a separate stroller, but some, such as the Doona or the Evenflo Shyft DualRide have a single-piece design that permits the car seat to fold into a pushchair, then folded back into base of the vehicle.

If you choose to use a car seat or a carrycot on your pushchair, be sure to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and be sure to adhere to their weight, age and size restrictions. Also, make sure to determine if the pushchair and car seat has been removed as part of an recall for safety.

It also ensures that when your baby grows out of their carrycot and car seat they can still use the stroller with you. This is a great option for families with busy lives and lots to do every day.

How do you fold?

Some pushchairs can fold by a single button press. Some folds require two hands or a couple of steps, but are still very compact. Some models even have the ability to stand up when folded, making it simple to grab. This kind of design is ideal for those who reside in a city or commute regularly and want to make the transition from a car to a pushchair seamless, or when you have a small boot and need a model that folds really small to fit inside it.

Some travel system pushchairs depending on the model can be used as early as birth by adding the car seat or carrycot. Those that can are often approved to be taken in the cabin on flights and are ideal for parents that like to travel a lot with their family.
