A 2-in-1 stroller also offers the convenience of a lightweight frame which is ideal for traveling. It makes it easy to navigate crowded airports, shopping centres and towns while out and about with your little one. Some prams such as the Kiddicare Cloud 2 In 1 let you attach to a car seat that is compatible (sold separately) and turn it into a complete travel system. This provides peace of mind right from birth.

These will give your child an enjoyable ride and will cope with more bumpy terrain. These types of prams are typically larger and can be difficult to get on and off of trains and buses. They might also require a large car boot to keep them in.

Many pushchairs come with an easy-to-use shopping basket, and some have a smart storage compartment at the back to store all your essentials.
