The foldable prams are more convenient to transport on public transport However, they might not be as comfortable for long walks or when you need to climb stairs.
Convenience
A 3 in 1 pram is a pram travel system that lets you change between a pram, car seat and pushchair (and adapters). These multi-purpose tools simplify life for you and your child.
Most 3 in 1 prams begin life as a pram, or carrycot, and are suited for babies. They are designed to be laid flat, which promotes healthy spinal development and opens airways for your child. Some have a viewing window that allows you to observe your baby without disturbing them.
The next step is the pushchair seat, where your child can be in as they grow into a toddler. Most of our pushchairs feature an incline-flat reclining seat to ensure your child's safety and comfort, and a storage basket that can be easily accessed to provide additional space for toys or shopping. Some pushchairs also come with a cup holder for parents, as well as a handy zippered storage pocket that can be used to store your essentials.
Then you can complete the set with a car-seat that is attached to the chassis, or attach your existing Group 0+ seat using an adapter. A 3 in 1, compatible with a car seat allows you to transfer your child from the vehicle to pram without causing any disturbance. This is ideal for long trips or when you're doing around.
Some of our best travel stroller 3 in 1 prams come with a free rain cover that will keep your child dry and comfortable in wet weather. There are also models with handles that can be adjusted which are useful when you're taller or smaller than average. Be sure that the pram you choose is lightweight. This will impact how easy it is to lift and maneuver it into and out of your car's boot. Consider whether your pram has fixed wheels or swivel wheels. Swivel wheels make it easier to move on kerbs and pavements.
Safety
A 3-in-1 pram is a fantastic choice for new parents since it gives you a single set of wheels to transport your baby from birth. This kind of pushchair is a combination of a pram/carrycot, pushchair and car seat in one unit. It allows you to change between these three stages according to the growth of your baby. This will save space at home as well as in the boot of your car, so it's ideal for families who require frequent travel.
The choice of a stroller or pram with the right safety features is crucial. Make sure it is in compliance with the AS/NZS2088 safety standard and is built with a sturdy frame that has no folds or gaps that could trap your child's legs, arms or head. It should also have a 5-point harness as well as a wrist tether straps for extra security. Make sure that folding mechanisms are securely locked and you never hang bags on the handles, and don't exceed the carriage weight limits. Always apply the brakes when you stop, even in a few moments. Also, don't permit children to play with the twin stroller or pram while it is moving. They may wiggle and cause the prams to tip over.
It's recommended to make sure you balance the time your child spends in the stroller or pram with plenty of tummy time as well as physical activities. And remember, it's dangerous to leave your baby asleep in a pram or stroller because they could wiggle and roll around.
Style
A 3 in 1 pram, also known as a travel system bundle, is a fantastic option for families with busy schedules as it reduces the time spent switching between different components of a pushchair. It is usually made up of a carrycot/pram/pushchair seat and a car seat that can be interchanged to suit your child's needs from birth to toddler.
Look out for features like fixed or swivel wheels to assist you in maneuvering the pram and make sharp turns on your journeys. Check if the shopping basket is big enough and how easy it is to fold it down for transport on buses / trains. Some prams have single handed folding mechanisms that allow for easy and quick collapse when getting on / off public transport. Make sure the pram you choose complies with British safety standards. This is particularly important if you're buying a second-hand item.

Space Saving
With limited space in today's homes, it's essential that the baby gear you do own is well organised and easy to put away. This is the reason 3 in 1 prams have become so popular as they are able to fold down into a very compact size and easily fit into the trunk of your car, or in the storage area in your home.
Most modern prams are able to transform into a stroller simply by removing the seat unit for a pushchair. This leaves you with a compact pram body that can be used from birth. It also converts into a travel system prams system by adding your child's car seat onto the chassis (with universal adapters included).
Some prams have an adjustable seat that can be fully flat, which is great for infants since lying flat can promote healthy spine development and improves breathing. One of our top picks is the Graco Near2Me. It has a nifty button that lets you lift your child towards your chest. This is ideal to maintain eye contact. Our parents who tested it really liked this feature because they were able in a hands-free manner while pushing their child around.
You should also check whether the wheels on your pram are fixed or swivel, as swivels are easier to navigate. If you plan to use public transport frequently you should consider an easy-to-fold mechanism. This will make it simpler and faster to fold your pram on and off of the bus or train.
It is also essential to check if the handle height can be adjusted. This will help you find the most comfortable position to push your child. This is important for those who have neck or back issues, as the wrong handle could cause discomfort.
A 3 in 1 stroll with an extendable canopy can protect your child from the elements. This is a must for parents who are new, as they'll spend the majority of their time out and about during the first few years of their life.
