A 2 in 1, carrycot/pushchair, combines both a baby seat and a carriercot into one single unit. It is easy to switch between the two as your child develops.
It is generally accepted that babies should be in a carrycot until they begin rolling over, which is usually around six months.

The carrycot
The carrycot provides a safe, comfortable and secure environment for infants. It's a safe and comfortable place for newborns to sleep. Laying flat is important for the development of the spine and lung.
Carrycots can also be carried around, meaning you can take your baby out without disrupting their sleep. This is great if you need to run an errand or do not have a babysitter, or simply want fresh air and a pleasant walk. A carrycot is a great way to save money and time, as you don't have to pay for a nanny.
When selecting a carrycot choose one with a sturdy frame that is designed for easy mobility and that can be folded easily. It should be lightweight so that it can be moved and stored and should have a canopy to protect your infant from the sun. To ensure the safety of your baby it is recommended to choose a carrycot made of high-quality fabrics with flame retardant fillings.
A quality carrycot will have a soft mattress that is filled with polyurethane for maximum comfort and support. There are designs that have adjustable base levels that can accommodate your growing baby and provide the best comfort.
A good quality carrycot should also come with handles that can be linked or single to make maneuvering easier. This is especially helpful in the case of multiple family members who use the stroller.
Find a carrycot that has a footmuff. It is a must have accessory for parents as it will provide warmth and protection for your child from the elements. A high-quality, durable footmuff must have a soft, comfortable lining and be made of fabrics that are waterproof to keep your baby warm. The best 2 in-1 prams footmuffs are also compatible with your carrycot and have a 5-point safety harness.
The seat unit
The seat unit is the part of a two-in-one travel system that converts from a carrycot into a pushchair 2 in 1 when your baby is ready to sit up. It usually features a recline function and two 'facing directions' - facing the parent (or rear-facing) or world facing (or forward-facing). It is important that it is comfortable for your child and spacious. It should also include the sunshade and hood.
You can purchase a carrycot and pushchair either separately or as an all-in-one bundle. Bundles let you save time and money as you can start with a carrycot and then change it to a pushchair seat unit once your baby is six months old or is able to sit without assistance. Most travel systems have car seat adaptors that allow you to connect your infant car seat to the chassis of the pushchair. This allows you to easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair.
When purchasing a carrycot choose a model that is comfortable with breathable fabrics that will keep your baby cool and comfortable. Some models come with sun protection, ventilation, and a soft mattress to help your baby sleep well.
If you intend to use your carrycot starting from birth, select a model that allows for a face-to-face with the parent as this will enable you monitor your child. You'll be able to observe them in a short time and also comfort them in these first few months. Many parents find it also helps to bond when their child can observe them.
When your baby is ready to move from their carrycot into the pushchair, they'll require an incredibly comfortable, supportive seat that has plenty of padding and good lumbar support, as well as a five-point harness. Check if the stroller 2in1 is equipped with a reversible padded seat liner or footmuff that is incredibly soft and waterproof. It can also be attached in the colder months.
Find a pushchair that has large baskets that are easy to access from the main seat and comes with multiple pockets to store your shopping. It's also an excellent idea to think about the option of a changing bag that can help you keep track of your outings. You can purchase a coordinating changing bag from a variety of brands or choose an tote or backpack that fits neatly onto the stroller frame.
The footmuff
A footmuff can keep your baby warm on cold days. The soft fabric wraps around their lower bodies to keep them warm and warm, and the handy openings for straps means that they can be secured in their car seat or stroller. Many brands offer a variety of footmuffs to choose from, with some designed to fit specific car seats or strollers which is perfect for keeping your baby warm and cozy without worrying about them overheating.
Parents often use footmuffs instead of blankets or extra layers to keep their children warm. This is particularly useful when it's cold or rainy. The Najell Universal Footmuff is a ideal choice, with a super-plush padding that keeps your baby comfortable and warm. It is also machine washable so you can keep it clean. It can be used with all pushchairs and is an ideal accessory.
The Hauck Soft 2in1 Carrycot can also be used as a footmuff by taking off the handles as well as the head part and lateral parts, which makes it a practical choice for babies who do not like being covered while out and out and about. It also helps save space in the nursery because you'll only need one item that can be used from birth to toddlerhood. If you'd like to be more organized you can also put an infant pacifier in your pocket to know what your baby's preferences are.
Whether you're taking an excursion in the park or completing around the city, the Ickle Bubba Eclipse 2 in 1 pram system in 1 carrycot and pushchair will ensure that your child is safe, secure and comfortable all the way. The spacious carrycot offers an inviting environment, while the sturdy chassis and adjustable canopies offer protection from the elements to allow you to enjoy outdoor adventures with complete confidence. When it's time for you to go inside the Eclipse can be folded quickly and easily into a light and compact size that can be tucked easily into the boot of your car.
