Babystyle Egg 2

The Egg is the second generation of the Babystyle brand's flagship high-end model. The name of the stroller, inspired by the rounded lines reminiscent of a chicken egg, stays true even with the second iteration that came out at the end of 2020.

The second gen got numerous important updates: a large, silent ventilation window on the canopy of the seat unit as well as of the bassinet; a new auto-locking mechanism to unfold your chassis easier - while the handlebar of the folded self-standing stroller doesn't touch the ground anymore; a new carrycot design with a quick-release lever in the rear part instead of two buttons on the sides; larger Tru-Ride wheels in a new, tri-spoke design; comfier, quality UPF50+ protective fabrics; new head hugger design easily adjustable to fit the shoulder straps better to your child's size; a more spacious seat unit with a 59cm backrest height while being 3.6 cm higher on the chassis; and a new design of the changing bag for the parent, now in the form of an elegant backpack.

As a single model (for one child), the Egg can take up to 25 kg in the main seat. The bucket-type, L-shaped ergonomic seat unit can be reclined fully by tilting it to a laying position. For your newborn, a full-size carrycot of generous internal dimensions is available, and car seat adapters can be used with most well-known car seat brands.

You can also convert the Egg into a tandem version with the sibling adapter. The tandem set-up can hold up to 15 kg per child. The Egg in double mode can be used for children with a small age gap as well as for twins right from birth. The stroller accepts two seats, two carrycots, two car seats, or any combination of these.

The second version of Egg is available various new colorways of the chassis. The frame, equipped with wheels made of a special hard rubber featuring the Tru Ride technology, provides a comfortable ride not so far from the comfort of air-filled tires, without, of course, the threat of getting a puncture.

In the three years creating Strollbery - for free, in our free time, we are proud to have helped thousands of parents from more than 207 countries. And helping is what we've cared about the most.

Egg Pushchair overview

The Egg Pushchair has been designed with the style conscious parent in mind. Its soft touch fabrics create smooth curves and continuous lines to give the egg a luxurious, stylish look. It’s been fitted with Tru-Ride Technology tyres which have been designed for comfort, fantastic handling and durability on different ground surfaces. The one-hand fold chassis is compact and freestanding when folded. The seat unit offers three position recline, as well as parent and forward facing options.

Stylish design

Shopping basket underneath

Tru-Ride Technology tyres offers a smooth ride

Reversible lining (furry to cotton) making it great for all year round

Shopping basket shallow

Heavy (13.5kg)

Features quite bulky

Key features

Tru-ride technology tyres.

These ensure parent and baby has a smooth ride on whatever ground surface, making the Egg durable and easy to handle.

Three position recline seat

The Egg’s seat can be moved into three different positions to ensure your baby is comfy during their journey. It can also be turned to face forwards, incase they’d like a view of where they’re going, or facing the parent, for some bonding time.

Rain cover and hood

No matter the weather, the Egg pushchair has you covered. During rainy weather parents have the option to attach the rain cover that comes with the pushchair, or during the sunnier months the reclining hood will help to keep the rays out of baby’s eyes.

How does the Egg pushchair compare to rival products?

The Egg has a similar feel to the Bugaboo Cameleon 3 and the iCandy Peach , however the price point is slightly better. While the Egg retails at just under £600 currently, the Bugaboo is just over this, while the iCandy Peach is just over £1,000. However, if you like a pushchair that is easy to move about, the Bugaboo is a little lighter than the Egg, weighing 9.6kg.. All three pushchairs all look incredibly stylish, which was a big tick for a lot of mums, however with quite a significant price difference between all three, it really comes down to how much you’re willing to part with for a pram.

Testing the Egg

Our product recommendations and reviews are based on a combination of real mum testers and the extensive knowledge of our experienced editorial team and product specialists.

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Dani:  I would recommend it to another mum because I love the design. It’s so spacious and trendy. I love the fact it doesn’t look like a typical pram. My daughter loved it and is such a happy baby when we are out and about. However, I think the only downside is how heavy it is. I'm quite a small woman and found it tricky putting it back in the car.

Elizabeth:  The positives this pram has that make life easier. It was a very smooth ride for my little one and collapses very easily. I liked the compartment in the foot area of the seat where you could put keys or phone. I actually thought that was genius! I like how the handle height was adjusted. It is easy to figure out and operate. This is a key consideration for us as a family as I have a very tall husband and so many prams make him stoop.

Emma:  It is so easy to use. It folds really simply and the carrycot/seat unit clips in really easily. A car seat can also be clipped on with the adapters supplied. The design of the pushchair is stylish and luxurious. I had several compliments on the 'serpent' finish when out and about with the pushchair.

How did this product make your life easier?

Beccy:  One of my favourite things about the egg was how high the handle went. I am quite tall and sometimes I struggle with other pushchairs if they are a little low. The changing bag with the fixings meant it was really easy to transport and so stylish. The fold of the pushchair meant it was easy to collapse which is handy if you needed to do it in a hurry.

Karen:  This is possibly the best, most beautiful travel system I have ever used. As a self-confessed pram addict, this is now the top of my list! It was so easy to push and manoeuvre. My baby was so comfortable in the carrycot and luckily for me, he was also old enough to try the seat. He was so safe and comfortable in this pram. The fabric was really beautiful and the attention to detail really made the travel system stand out.

Louise:  This pushchair made life easier. It handles very well when pushing it, it has ample space underneath in the basket and the adjustable handle is brilliant! I particularly like the little compartment at your baby's feet for your keys or purse. The little sunshade/insect net hidden underneath is a lovely little touch. The hood comes over quite far to shade your baby from the sun. The lining is reversible from furry to cotton which makes it a year-round winner.

What changes would you make to this product?

Emma:  I found the apron/cover on the carrycot really stiff due to the fabric it was made of. It was difficult to unzip and hold back to take my baby out. I’d rethink how it fastens to the carrycot or the fabric it was made out of. I also prefer a pushchair with a deeper basket. This one was fairly shallow and would be better if it was deeper.

Beccy:  I would make the basket deeper. It's a decent size, but it is so shallow you can't really store that much in it. As someone who doesn't drive, the compactness and the size of the basket are deciding factors for me, as I need space to get my shopping home. I would also add a cup holder as standard. I think that would be a great addition.

Karen:  I can't imagine that I would be able to use this pram as my baby gets taller. His head was very close to the top of the seat already and the hood was close to his head. I wouldn't necessarily increase the size as I think this travel system is amazing value even if you did only use it for 18 months. However, some parents may worry that the product hasn't got the longevity they expected.

Egg 2 Pram Review

Gemma Woolich

The Egg 2 Pram is a luxurious and high-quality pushchair, designed with advanced engineering and high-end features. It is one of the most popular choices for parents seeking a perfect blend of style, comfort, and functionality.

Before we get into the details lets give you our overall verdict on the Egg 2 Pram

egg 2 travel system review

Quick Verdict

The Egg 2 Pram is an exceptional blend of style, comfort, and practicality, making it a top choice for modern parents. Its sleek design and variety of colour options cater to aesthetic preferences, while its user-friendly features ensure a smooth and convenient experience. One of our favourite features is the spacious seating options. The larger seat and luxurious carrycot provide a comfortable and cosy space for your child, ensuring they enjoy the ride whether they're sitting up or lying down. The fact that the carrycot can be removed with one hand is a thoughtful addition, making it easier for parents to lift their child out of the pram. The pram's ample storage space is another standout feature. The larger basket provides ample room for all your baby essentials, making it a practical choice for parents on the go. The wheels, larger than those of the previous model, ensure a smooth and stable ride, regardless of the terrain

Who is the Egg 2 Pram Suitable For?

The Egg 2 Pram is an excellent choice for parents who value style, comfort, and functionality. It's particularly suitable for those who plan to expand their family in the future, as it can be easily converted into a double pushchair with separately sold parts. This pram is also a great option for parents who frequently travel by car, as the included car seat can be installed using either the car's seat belt or the ISOFIX connectors, ensuring a safe and stable ride for your little one.

The chassis of the Egg 2 Pram is a reflection of the brand's dedication to quality and durability. Constructed from high-grade aluminium, the chassis is both robust and lightweight, offering a solid base for the pram's various components. The sleek and modern design of the chassis, with its clean lines and polished finish, enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the pram.

One standout feature of the Egg 2 Pram's chassis is its auto-locking mechanism. This feature streamlines the process of unfolding the pram, making it quick and hassle-free. This is especially beneficial when you're out and about with your child and need to set up the pram swiftly. The auto-locking mechanism is designed to be reliable and secure, ensuring that the pram remains firmly in place once unfolded.

Wheels and Storage

The wheels of the Egg 2 Pram are another highlight. They are larger than those on the previous model and feature a new, tri-spoke design. The wheels are crafted from a special hard rubber that incorporates Tru Ride technology, which offers a ride comfort comparable to that of air-filled tires, without the risk of punctures. This ensures a smooth and stable ride, regardless of the terrain.

When it comes to storage, the Egg 2 Pram boasts a larger basket than its predecessor. This basket offers ample space for all your baby essentials, from diapers and wipes to toys and snacks. The basket is easily accessible, making it convenient for you to grab your items when you need them. This feature is a real asset for parents who are often on the move and need to have all their baby essentials within easy reach.

Seating Options

The seating options of the Egg 2 Pram prioritize your child's comfort. The pram offers a larger seat than the previous model, providing more room for your child to sit and relax. The seat is bucket-type and L-shaped, which can be fully reclined to a laying position. This ergonomic design ensures that your child is comfortable, whether they're sitting up and observing their surroundings or lying down for a nap.

In addition to the seat, the Egg 2 Pram also comes with a luxurious carrycot. This full-sized carrycot has generous internal dimensions, offering a cosy and comfortable space for your newborn to rest. What's more, the carrycot can be removed with one hand, making it easy for you to lift your child out of the pram without any hassle. This feature, combined with the pram's larger seat, ensures that your child enjoys a comfortable ride, no matter their age or size.

The Egg 2 Car Seat

The Egg 2 Pram often comes as part of a bundle deal that includes the Egg 2 Car Seat, providing parents with a complete travel system right from the start. This bundle deal is not only cost-effective but also ensures that the pram and car seat are perfectly compatible, offering seamless transitions from car to pram and vice versa.

The car seat easily clicks onto the pram's chassis, allowing you to move your baby from the car to the pram without disturbing their sleep. This is particularly useful for those quick trips to the store or for longer journeys where you might want your baby to continue their nap in the pram.

The car seat installation is also straightforward, whether you're using the car's seat belt or the ISOFIX connectors. This ensures your baby's safety during car journeys and gives parents peace of mind.

In terms of aesthetics, the car seat matches the pram perfectly, maintaining the stylish and sophisticated look that the Egg 2 Pram is known for. So, with this bundle, you're not just getting practicality and safety, but also a travel system that looks great.

I absolutely am in love with my Egg 2…

I absolutely am in love with my Egg 2 Travel System the range of colours and materials are beautiful. There so sturdy, robust and luxurious. Definitely a great purchase. DO NOT HESITATE to buy from Egg 100% recommend.

Flawed Design Hefty Price Tag.

The Egg Pram has been such a disappointing purchase. I would advise others to save your money and NOT buy this pram. Our chassis pulled terribly to one side from the beginning and the customer service was dreadful from both The Baby Shop from where we purchased the pram and from Egg who were completely dismissive. Eventually after much upset, the shop we purchased from gave us a replacement chassis which we collected but it was unboxed. We suspect it had been a demo. It too pulled to the side and the shop told us they didn’t believe it pulled. Basically we are now left with a pram we have been very disappointed with and Egg did nothing to assist us. As the baby gets bigger, this pram becomes so heavy it pulls on your arms too. Also, the hood doesn’t pull down sufficiently to protect the baby from sunlight and you have to buy something additional. The Bugaboo hood is a much better design. Overall a very expensive and disappointing purchase which we would not recommend. We ended up buying another brand of pram which is much more user friendly and lighter to push. Many design flaws with the Egg pram and not worthy of the hefty price tag. Zero customer service.

It’s the smoothes stroller out there

It’s the smoothes stroller out there. We have had ours for two years and just love it. It’s so easy and fits through the narrowest door openings. It works great in all weather conditions too. Trust me we have had ours up in the snowy mountains, bricked roads, on walks in nature and there’s never an issue moving forward. We have had it on vacations all over too and just love it, so does everyone else who tries to push it too!

Dear Sofia, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are really pleased you love your stroller! Team egg.

Amazing products

Amazing products, love the colours and always get complimented on the carrycot! I have moved up to the stroller now that my little girl is 6 months, she loves being able to sit up and look around and is lovely and cosy with the fur liner now that it’s colder outside.

Hi Claudia, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased you love your egg! Team egg.

Poor durability

I have loved my egg pram up to now... within a year 2 brackets under the pram have snapped off. Egg have advised these are not covered within 1 year warranty and claim excessive force would be applied to snap these. Depsite me clarifying that no force was applied and both brackets fell off at different times when walking they are disputing this. Not only am I being felt like a liar but also being told its £50 repair fee and would leave me without a pram for god knows how long. Depsite warranty the consumer right Act states the consumer should expect reasonable durability of a product depending on price.... as we know egg prams are NOT cheap and I would not expect brackets to break off within a year of purchase when NO excessive force was applied... very poor durability. I've also been trying to have this resolved since beginning of October. Very disappointed as I've loved this pram but would not advise purchase if things are already falling off within 1 year for this price.

Date of experience : 08 December 2023

Very poor design. Not as advertised. Would not recommend.

It’s supposed to be an all terrain pushchair but going round the local park it’s all over the place and certainly not a smooth ride for my son. Only good for smooth pavements. Had to send the chassis back to get fixed as the front wheels would rattle like a broken supermarket trolley. Luckily I had bought through a local retailer selling all sorts of other brands who provided me with a loan pushchair. The stroller is incredibly uncomfortable for my son. He hates sitting in it and much preferred the cheaper loan pushchair we were given. Very poor design and quality. Would not recommend.

Date of experience : 16 October 2023

A special experience, the quality is second to none

I loved unboxing my pram, putting it together, taking it on a test spin before my little girl was here! I felt like I was reliving my youth when I got my first pram. The quality is second to none, yes it’s expensive but it’s worth it!! My little one loved the bassinet and now she’s in the stroller chair, I love the fact it can be parent / non parent facing too!

Date of experience : 31 March 2023

H Danielle, Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, we are pleased both you and your child love it! Team egg.

Egg2 travel system

We bought the Egg2 travel system. Our baby is 3 months old, so we arr using the pram part at the moment, which is lovely. I am disappointed about the back wheels, as there are several scratches on the wheel trims, despite being very careful and only having used the pram for 2months due to delayed delivery and my baby being premature. I would recommend the travel system, but feel the back wheels could be more robust.

Date of experience : 02 May 2023

In love with our egg stroller bundle

In love with our egg stroller bundle. We purchased last November and have used it every day since. It’s still in immaculate condition! Very easy to clean and keep on top of. Definitely an eye turner , we get compliments everywhere we go with our snake print limited edition print. Would recommend to anybody contemplating getting this bundle. Well worth the money!

Hi Sophie, Thanks for leaving a review of your egg Stroller. We are so gad you love using it. Team egg.

Save your money and buy a different brand

I never leave reviews but feel that I need to share my thoughts on this pram to help other parents make an informed choice. We loved the look of the egg2 - its design and all the accessories that come with it. But having used the pram for the last 7 months, our positive feedback stops there. Our main issue which almost renders the pram unusable unless it’s dark, is the canopy. It doesn’t come down far enough so my baby is exposed to UV and the sun is always in her eyes - she hates it. I’ve compared the canopy to other prams like the nuna, cybex and bugaboo and it’s so ridiculously short. I’ve bought the egg brolly but you have to hold in place to get any coverage, and the egg sunshade but it completely covers the front of the pram so my baby can’t see out - not ideal for an inquisitive 7 month old. I’ve resorted to turning the actual stroller round on the base depending on where the sun is - which is ridiculous. I got in touch with Egg via social media and their response was so dismissive. We have bought another pram and will be selling this at a massive loss I imagine.

Date of experience : 15 November 2023

Hi Roxanne, Sorry to hear you are disappointed in the canopy and sun protection products we offer. It seems that on this occasion egg did not meet your needs and we hope you have found one that suits you better. Team egg.

Four years on!

I have used my egg pram/stroller for both of my sons and still absolutely adore it. Four years on and still going strong. Amazing quality, stunning in the eye and easy to use. I would recommend no one else!

Dear Carla, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so pleased have had a great experience with your egg Stroller. Team egg.

The staff at the shop were extremely…

The staff at the shop were extremely helpful. They showed me and my husband the ranges of prams. I seen the egg2 in mink online and when I seen it in store I loved the color. The staff member demonstrated how to put the pram down and up, breaks and the wheels can be set straight or freely. I’m a first time mum. I love that the egg2 goes down really easy and puts together easy too. It fits well in my car. I’d highly recommend x

Dear Kaye, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we are so pleased you love your stroller. Team egg.

Awful customer service.

As a product it’s designed so well. It’s so easy to use. BUT their customer service is none existent. I bought a car seat. It broke after a couple of weeks (in July). I’m November now and I’m still begging for them to help. They have now ignored me for several weeks after fobbing me off several times. A Rude and unhelpful company. There are many prams designed the same that have better customer service and are in the same price range so I’d go there and avoid egg. I bought a car seat from pram centre but it’s you I’ve been emailing. Samantha crane is the person who has been speaking to me like dirt.

Date of experience : 13 November 2023

Hi Chloe, Thanks for leaving a review. We pride ourselves on our customer service and would like to investigate this. So I can look into this in more detail, please can you amend your review and let me know which retailer you ordered from. Thanks in advance.

Handle bar too chunky which prevents a decent grip on hills etc. very heavy pram and car seat in general. Heavier than other brands. Chunky when folded down. Need two people to navigate all the buttons etc and awkward to adjust the hood on the carry cot if you only have one free hand. As a designer myself I can see the flaws clearly. Disappointing:(

Date of experience : 11 February 2023

Dear Michelle, We are sorry to hear that you have experienced a few issues with your egg stroller. We recommend all expectant parents test lots of brands out before choosing their stroller, as some will suit their lifestyle better than others. Team egg.

I bought the grey Jurassic bundle but…

I bought the grey Jurassic bundle but the fabric is absolutely rubbish! So prone to staining even a few raindrops seem to stain for weeks. Contacted customer service and was told it’s not a manufacturers default Therefor not their problem! Really unhappy customer!! I even asked if I could swap for a display one!

Broken seat mechanism

Hi ... I purchased the Egg Stroller for my grandbabies... so it’s only had minimal use. The mechanism that adjusts the seat is now loose and won’t lock the seat in any position. It appears the “wire” holding seat has become loose. Can I purchase a replacement part. I am in Australia and also contacted you via Facebook, with no response.

Egg carseat saved my little boys life

Words could never describe how much I'd recommend egg. The egg carseat saved my little boys life- the praise doesn't come much higher than that. . We were in a horrific car accident and were all hospitalised. My husband and I came away with stitches, whiplash, broken teeth and bruised ribs, but my little boy, although a little scraped and bruised, came away relatively unscathed thanks to the egg carseat. It did such a brilliant job at keeping him safe that even the paramedics were asking what the brand was. I also have the pram, carrycot, bag etc which are all fabulous, but for me, the act of saving a life trumps everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hi Em, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are very sorry to hear about the terrible incident, but we are so pleased the egg Shell car seat helped protect your baby. We hope you all make a speedy recovery. All the best, Team egg.

Best baby purchase we have made

We absolutely adore our push chair by egg. It’s extremely versatile with all the adaptations and extras you get in the package especially the Bag. I would I highly recommend if you are looking for a buggy for the long hall it’s also one of the most easiest to assemble. It’s also really stylish we got the feather one which looks stunning we always get heads turning. It’s the best baby purchase we have made. Thank You Egg ❤️

Hi there, Thanks so much for leaving a review of your egg2. We hope you continue to love using it. Team egg.

Absolutely fantastic pram

Absolutely fantastic pram. My little girl is so comfortable in it and sleeps great. We especially love the adjustable foot rest to support her little legs. The buggy board is fab, doesn't get in the way and folds right under when not in use.

egg 2 travel system review

Buying a pushchair for your newborn can feel a little daunting. With so many choices available and lots to consider when it comes to transporting your baby safely from A to B, it can be hard to narrow down your options. 

For new parents, a travel system can make a convenient and practical choice, allowing for seamless transfers from car to pram, as well as relaxed and comfortable strolls with your newborn.

If you've already decided that a travel system is for you, excellent! We’ve spent hundreds of hours researching the products loved by real parents (that includes both Mumsnet users and consumers), tested dozens of prams with our team of parent testers and consulted trusted pushchair experts for the latest up-to-date guidance to bring you a round-up of the very best travel systems to buy right now.

What Mumsnet users say

"I love it. Especially the huge basket which has been used for fairly large shops and the occasional stroppy toddler" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Dyra

“ Also a Nuna Mixx fan here! I live in the countryside so find the larger wheels helpful but if you are based in a city, you may not need such a big pram. I used the car seat adapters a lot in the first few months to nip in and out of places” - rated by Mumsnet user Rose2108  

Our verdict

An upgrade to the incredibly popular Nuna Mixx , the Nuna Mixx Next exudes comfort and style at every turn, with some significant improvements that have proven to be a huge hit with Mumsnet users and consumers alike. It can be used with a Nuna carrycot (without needing adapters) or with compatible car seats from Nuna, Maxi Cosi or Cybex using the car seat adapters included in the box.

Thanks to the comfortable seat, easy manoeuvrability, excellent storage and large all-terrain wheels, it easily takes our top spot as the best travel system you can buy today. It’s also worth mentioning that the Nuna Mixx Next is a Which? Best Buy and one of the top-scoring pushchairs in their lab tests.

While slightly heavier than the original model, improvements to the folding mechanism mean the Nuna Mixx Next now folds in upon itself, resulting in a more compact fold that’s around 16cm shorter than its predecessor. It conveniently self-stands, so you don’t need to worry about it getting the chassis dirty as you move it in and out of your car, although it's not a particularly portable travel system for public transport. The Nuna Mixx Next also has more durable rubber wheels than the original Mixx, with improved wheel suspension that can even tackle tricky terrain such as gravel or snow .  

It’s easy to steer (even one-handed), manoeuvres well around tight corners and obstacles, and tackles kerbs with ease. The leatherette handlebar also offers a choice of heights between 106cm and 115cm, making it easy to achieve a comfortable and natural hold for both petite and tall parents. We love the green and red indicators on the brake pedal that provide quick visual reassurance that the brake is engaged - ideal when you’re travelling around a busy urban environment.

Suitable from birth using the lie-flat recline, the Nuna Mixx Next has a comfortable all-season and machine-washable seat with a removable cosy padded liner and a mesh back for breathability during the warmer summer months. The included rain cover offers good protection from the elements on wet days and, although it's a little noisy to extend, the UPF 50+ hood with a viewing window provides good coverage from the sun. It’s even water-repellent, so if an unexpected downpour comes your way, your baby will still stay warm and dry. 

We love how the five-point harness can keep your baby safe and secure but converts to a more convenient three-point harness as your baby grows. If your child tends to nod off on their travels, you’ll also appreciate the one-handed, five-position recline, allowing you to switch from upright to lie flat quickly and easily. The two-handed fold on the Nuna Mixx Next does require some force, but once folded, the pushchair sits relatively compact - although if using it with the carrycot you’d need to remove this first. 

When it comes to storage, the Nuna Mixx Next has an underseat basket with a 4.5kg capacity, which isn’t as generous as the likes of the UPPAbaby Vista V2 (see below), but is easy to access from all directions and provides plenty of space for your newborn essentials . It can even be split into two distinct compartments using the interior wall if required.

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg (please note that the listing on Kiddies Kingdom site is incorrect) | Orientation: Parent- and world-facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: H46 x W62 x D84cm | Weight: 10.4kg | Basket capacity: 5kg | Extras included: Rain cover and boot cover/apron

Standout value – the best travel system on the market for under £400

Lightweight

The seat converts to a lie-flat bassinet

Easy one-handed fold

Compact when folded

Height-adjustable handlebar 

Rear-wheel suspension

Tricky to change seat position with a heavier child

Wide frame – hard to fit through narrow doorways

Straps can be fiddly and tricky to adjust 

Quite heavy

Two-handed fold

"The seat has very high sides even when not in carrycot mode so is snuggly and lovely for my daughter" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Njh1986

The Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 pushchair may have one of the lowest price tags of all the travel systems on our list, but it's still up there in terms of both design and quality. 

While the original Maxi-Cosi Zelia (now discontinued) was only suitable for babies up to 15kg, the Zelia 2 offers greater longevity, lasting until your baby weighs 22kg, which is approximately four years old. While slightly heavier than the original model, the shopping basket capacity has also increased from 2kg to 5kg, providing valuable additional storage space for your changing bag or other essentials during a day out with your baby.

One of the major selling points of the Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 is the 2-in-1 seat that quickly converts into a newborn bassinet without the need to purchase a separate carrycot - ideal for those who are limited in storage space at home. Our parent tester loved this feature stating, “It saves space in the house and it means the carrycot doesn't become obsolete once your baby is sitting.” Weighing 10.4kg, it’s also a more lightweight option than some of the multi-terrain models such as the Mamas and Papas Ocarro (see below). 

The lie-flat bassinet is suitable from birth and can easily be transformed into a pushchair seat when your baby reaches six months. With a comfortable padded inlay, it offers plenty of space and support for your child as they grow. Alternatively, the Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 can be used with a compatible Maxi-Cosi car seat, such as the Mumsnet-recommended Maxi-Cosi Rock (using adapters) for a convenient transition between your car and the street.

Described as a compact, urban stroller, the Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 is easy to steer and copes well with pavements and kerbs, however it may struggle off-road, such as on gravel, mud or sand. It’s also worth noting that while the handlebar height is adjustable, this is only by a small margin, so if you’re particularly tall you may find this pram less comfortable to push. 

We like the significant coverage provided by the sun hood and, thanks to the viewing window, you can discreetly check on your baby without waking them if they nod off during your journey. 

The fold requires two hands, but this is relatively straightforward to do. The pushchair clips together for compact storage and can self-stand. There’s also an in-built carry handle which can help distribute the weight should you need to carry it up and down the stairs. 

We love the improvements to the basket when compared to the original Maxi-Cosi Zelia, which although a little trickier to access when being used in bassinet mode, offers plenty of storage space, with a discreet pocket inside to stash valuable items such as your keys and phone.

3. Best travel system for a newborn and toddler: BabyStyle Oyster 3

Price: RRP £559 | Latest deals from John Lewis

Bundle price from £979 | Latest deals from John Lewis  

Tested by parents: Read our full BabyStyle Oyster 3 review

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg | Orientation: Parent- and world-facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: H57.5 x W37.5 x L72 cm | Weight: 11.7kg | Basket capacity: 3kg | Extras included: None

Lie-flat seat for smaller babies

Puncture-free tyres

Compact fold

Adjustable handlebar

Can be used with a buggy board

Carrycot is tricky to remove

Storage basket could be bigger 

No extras included

"The Oyster was probably one of the most compact travel systems we found" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Anaesthetist83

“ I have the Oyster 3 and love it. It’s lightweight but sturdy and so easy to fold, my son always looks really comfortable. We didn’t use the carrycot part, the pram lies completely flat from birth so I didn’t feel we needed it” - rated by Mumsnet user Thetangleteaser

“ We have the full Oyster 3 bundle and it's great :) went for the Caviar/mirror colour and think it's very stylish” - rated by Mumsnet user Skywalkersweetie

If you're looking for a travel system to suit your growing family, then the Which? Best Buy BabyStyle Oyster 3 should be top of your list. This large, well-built pram is designed to last well into toddlerhood. With a choice of seven different colourways, it looks beautiful too.

With a maximum child weight of 22kg, which is around age four, this pushchair is suitable from birth, with a lie-flat seat, supportive head hugger and one-handed three-position recline. To use as a travel system, you can attach the Oyster 3 carrycot (sold separately) which offers a more spacious and comfortable lying position over longer durations with your newborn. For an easy transition straight from the car, car seats such as the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus can also be clipped onto the main chassis using the Oyster 3 car seat adapters (sold separately). 

Compared to the original Oyster and Oyster 2 pushchairs, the Oyster 3 has had a major overhaul. Not only is it lighter with bigger wheels for improved handling, but it also boasts a more spacious seat, including a pop-out footrest and an adjustable harness that can better accommodate your child as they grow. 

It’s worth noting that, as a result of the seat changes, it’s a little bigger than the previous model, but for convenience it now has a more compact fold, which can be triggered with the seat attached in both parent- and world-facing modes. You do need to use both hands to operate this, however the fold is smooth and simple, with a handy clip that prevents the chassis from springing open. While we wouldn’t recommend carrying the Oyster 3 regularly, there’s even an integrated carry strap for convenience should you need to. 

The Oyster 3 has a soft padded handlebar that’s adjustable between 101cm and 111.5cm, making it easy to adapt to parents of varying heights. Thanks to the all-round suspension, the four puncture-free tyres also offer a really smooth ride for your baby. 

Our parent tester rated the tight turning circle and a slim base, which made the Oyster 3 convenient for use on public transport and she found it performed well on urban terrains such as pavements and kerbs. Like many travel systems, it struggles more on bumpier or uneven ground, but there is the option to lock the front wheels - helpful when navigating across sand or mud.

Whatever the weather, the Oyster 3 can protect your baby from the elements. We rate the large UPF50+ sun hood with an extendable section to provide additional coverage when the seat is fully reclined. It also has a ventilation window which can keep your baby cool on warmer days. Unlike many pushchairs, the elasticated rain cover for the Oyster 3 (included with the travel system) is straightforward to fit should the weather take a sudden turn for the worse.

The storage basket is easy to access from all directions, and although more than adequate for most newborn essentials , the 3kg maximum capacity is relatively small when compared to the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Nuna Mixx Next. That said, we love the inclusion of a discreet zipped storage pocket situated beneath the footrest - ideal for safely housing your keys and phone.

4. Best versatile travel system: Venicci Tinum 2.0

Pushchair price: £690 | Latest deals from Kiddies Kingdom  

Bundle price from £770 | Latest deals from Kiddles Kingdom

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg (approx 4 years) | Orientation: Parent and world-facing | Car seat compatible: Yes - car seat included  Folded dimensions: H40 x W58 x D63cm  | Weight: 12.2kg | Basket capacity: Not specified | Extras included: Carrycot, car seat, footmuff, changing bag, changing mat, rain cover and adapters

Stylish design

Easy to fold/unfold 

Comes with lots of accessories

Comfortable height-adjustable handlebar 

Spacious shopping basket

Large sun hood

Easy to switch between parent and world facing  

Harness and straps tricky to adjust 

Bulky and heavy

Brakes require some force

The seat is not particularly padded

“ I have the Venicci Tinum and love it. It is great to push on all terrain and managed much better than my friend’s Silver Cross when we went on a woodland walk - the bumping of her pram meant we had to turn back! I’m still using it with my 16-month-old forward-facing and I’m pregnant again and intend on keeping it to use as our single pram when my new baby is born” - recommended by Mumsnet user BabyBabyBaby123  

“I have a Venicci Tinum 2.0. Really like it and find it's good on different surfaces, including woodland. The downside is that the basket underneath is not as big as some other makes/models. However, it's generally big enough for our needs” - rated by Mumsnet user ThePaperTrail

While you may be less familiar with the name, Italian brand Venicci is actually one of the leading suppliers of quality pushchairs , officially launching in the UK back in 2011. If you’re looking for a versatile option, the Venicci Tinum travel system makes an excellent choice, with a stylish and practical design combined with lots of additional accessories that make travelling with your baby a breeze.

With a reversible lie-flat seat, the Venicci Tinum 2.0 is suitable from birth to 22kg. The bundle includes the Tinum 2.0 carrycot and car seat, as well as a footmuff, rain cover, mosquito net, coordinating changing bag, changing mat and car seat adapters, meaning you’ve got pretty much everything you need to head out on travels with your baby in tow - whatever the weather may bring.

With some enhancements to the original Tinum, the Tinum 2.0 features a panoramic ventilation system to help keep your baby cool on sunnier days. It’s now easier to steer, even one-handed, tackling varied terrain well and navigating up and down kerbs without the need to exert too much effort despite its relatively heavy frame. 

While the sideless seat isn’t as padded or cushioned as the Nuna Mixx or BabyStyle Oyster 3 , it has three different recline positions and can be used both world- and parent-facing depending on your preferences, or easily swapping between the two. It’s worth noting that although the straps are adjustable as your child grows, this is a manual process and can fiddly. That said, the integrated hood is quiet to operate and provides good sun coverage, with a handy viewing window that helps you keep a reassuring eye on your toddler when world-facing. 

If you’re a taller or petite parent or sharing the travel system with your partner of a different height, you’ll love the adjustable handlebar height on the Venicci Tinum, which can be adjusted with one hand between 91 and 105cm - a far greater range than other travel systems such as the Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2. 

The basket is a generous size and includes a zippable compartment for your valuables. While it’s stiff to operate, the centrally located brake is large and easily accessible - reassuring when travelling in busier surroundings.

Bundle price from £949 | Latest deals from Mamas & Papas

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg | Orientation: Parent- and world-facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: H33.5  x W59 x D77.5 cm | Weight: 13.6kg | Basket size: 3kg | Extras included: Rain cover and bumper bar

Dual suspension

One-handed fold 

Tackles off-road terrain well 

Chunky, puncture-resistant tyres

Padded seat with pillow and chest pads

Reflective trim on wheels

A reassuring wrist strap on the handlebars 

Large hood with ventilation 

The basket can only be loaded from the back 

Heavy to carry

Stiff five-point harness

"Absolutely love my Ocarro! It’s sturdy but easy to manoeuvre, well padded for a comfy baby, massive basket and can be folded one-handed (even with my baby in a sling!). Versatile as it’s slim enough for buses or shops aisles but with all-terrain wheels it can go anywhere ” - recommended by Mumsnet user Blueroses99

“Love our Ocarro! It is pretty heavy to lift when you have got it all folded up but I got used to lifting it in and out of the boot pretty quickly. I’ve used it on some pretty bumpy terrain and my baby has seemed comfy enough. 11 months in and I still love it and it looks like new still, so yes would recommend it!” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user DreamingofThailand

If you’re living in a more rural setting or enjoy heading on outdoor adventures with your baby in tow, you’ll need an all-terrain travel system that can navigate across a variety of surfaces with ease. 

The Mamas & Papas Ocarro is a luxury, all-terrain pushchair designed for both comfort and stability. A Which? Best Buy, the Ocarro achieved an impressive score in lab testing and it’s also compatible with several Which? Best Buy car seats too, including the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Pro and Cybex Aton 5 .

Available alone or in bundles of varying sizes depending on your needs, the eight-piece combination pack offers excellent value for money, including the pushchair, adapters, carrycot, cupholder, footmuff, changing bag, Cybex car seat and even an ISOFIX base. 

While it weighs over three kilograms heavier than some of the travel systems we tested (such as the Maxi-Cosi Zelia ), its robust frame, dual suspension and large all-terrain wheels ensure it can handle almost every terrain completely fuss-free,  from pavements and kerbs to woodland, sand and grass. While it’s narrow enough to fit through most doorways and manoeuvres well, it’s fairly heavy and bulky, so less suited to travel or for those looking for a lightweight stroller for public transport. 

Thanks to the padded lie-flat seat with a supportive head hugger (or the Ocarro carrycot if you prefer), the Ocarro is suitable from birth and can see your child through to approximately four years old. The seat is also fully reversible, so you can easily switch between reassuring eye contact for your baby in parent-facing mode to the world-facing mode for your curious toddler who wants to take in their surroundings.

The soft and comfortable leatherette handlebar is a stylish addition, however it’s worth noting that, unlike the height flexibility on the Venicci Tinum and BabyStyle Oyster 3 , it can only be raised by a small margin - between 100.5 to 105cm. The brake also requires a fair bit of force and isn't particularly easy to operate wearing sandals or flip-flops. 

We love the one-handed fold - something rarely seen in a multi-terrain pushchair. It can be folded with the seat attached in either direction and self-stands for convenience when folded, but it does take up a lot of space in your car. If you have a particularly small boot, you may find it easier to remove the seat first and store it as two separate pieces.   

The sturdy and robust canopy hood with stylish metallic trim is definitely worth a mention. It offers excellent coverage for sunny days but can also be pushed back entirely to improve visibility.

While still large enough to house a changing bag, the 3kg basket on the Ocarro is actually on the small side compared to our other best travel system recommendations such as the Bugaboo Fox 5 and Nuna Mixx Next. It needs to be loaded from the back and is less accessible when using the carrycot as this sits at a relatively low height. That said, thanks to the clever catches on the Ocarro chassis, you can also conveniently stash your changing bag over the handlebar without it slipping down.

“A true workhorse, the Bugaboo Fox 5 tackles any terrain you throw at it, from muddy paths to gravel roads and even woodland trails. We tested them all. And as a parent who loves outdoor adventures, this is a game-changer” - MNHQ parent tester, Beccy

“ Bugaboo Fox! LOVEEEEEE ours - looking at buggies now for boot space at 15 months and none of them are as nice to push or use 😂” - rated by Mumsnet user FTM2022SS  

Released in March 2023, the Bugaboo Fox 5 is the much-awaited and updated version of the Fox 3, which has a great reputation for tackling varied terrain.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 offers some big improvements to Fox’s much-loved design. It manoeuvres better than its predecessor, offers more storage capacity and has a higher seat and bassinet. It also has an easier-to-operate and more compact one-handed fold, with an extendable footrest and canopy to help adapt to your child’s needs as they grow.

We like the large puncture-proof wheels and bouncy suspension, which provide a comfortable ride for both newborns and toddlers. The pushchair performed exceptionally well on different terrain, including muddy paths, gravel roads and woodland trails, when our parent tester, Beccy, put it through its paces.

Although the fold took time for her to master, Beccy found the one-handed fold and unfold invaluable when out and about with her two children. The handlebar can be adjusted between 92 and 108cm so it’s easy to find the most comfortable setting for your height. 

The generous 9kg storage basket with extendable flaps also adds to the appeal, with plenty of space to house a changing bag or your baby’s essentials. It is quite bulky when folded though, which means it might not be ideal if you have a small car boot.

The seat is easy to recline (almost a bit too easy, so approach with caution) and thanks to the large sun canopy, your baby will be safely shielded from the sun’s glare on bright sunny days. 

While this buggy offers comfort in spades for newborns, the Fox 5 is unique in that the seat and carrycot come as one unit, which some parents may find impractical. Switching from the carrycot to the seat is quite fiddly (requiring the removal of the hood and swapping out the base), however you may only need to do this once and not until your baby reaches six months.

Seat quite thin with minimal padding

What Mumsnet users say 

“I loooooooooooooooved my Vista. Was brilliant in every way” rated by Mumsnet user MartinMartinMarti

“I have the Vista and totally love it. Really sturdy and fab on all terrains, we have used it everywhere & never had any bother. My son is almost three and I'm about to have our second and can't wait to get even more use out of it. I'm tall & liked the height of the Vista. Yes, it is expensive but if you divide it up by cost per use it's good value!” - recommended by Mumsnet user Jem1979

“I adore my Vista. Yes, it’s a bit of a beast but it was so useful when we lived in a city and I didn’t drive. The undercarriage had plenty of room for the weekly shop plus all the day-to-day kid kit, and when we travelled by train to visit relatives we shoved all the luggage under there. Would defo recommend it” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user RoseAndGeranium

Our verdict 

Tested by Mumsnet: Read our full UPPAbaby Vista V2 review

Suitable from birth when used with the included carrycot, or from six months as a standalone pushchair, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 can see you through until your child reaches 22 kg (around four years). The spacious seat offers plenty of room for your growing child and can be placed in both directions - opting for parent-facing when your baby is younger before switching to world-facing when they want to explore their surroundings. 

An upgrade from the original UPPAbaby Vista, Vista 2 has seen some big improvements to the pushchair seat. While Which? lab testing felt that the padding was on the thin side, UPPAbaby has extended the height of the backrest and provided a longer footrest to better accommodate your child as they grow. The sun hood now has a ventilated extension panel for enhanced sun coverage and the five-point safety harness is now fully adjustable without needing to be rethread, although this does create some hanging excess.

Whilst the pushchair is only suitable from the age of six months, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 comes with a newborn carrycot included in the cost. It’s also compatible with the UPPAbaby Mesa i-Size Infant Car Seat or with brands such as Maxi-Cosi and Cybex if you purchase separate car seat adapters.

For parents, the handlebar offers some height adjustment (between 101 and 108cm), allowing you to tailor the experience to each parent. The one-handed recline is easy to operate, with a choice of six different positions and a fully adjustable leg rest that can support your child as they grow. That said, the seat fabric is much less padded than travel systems such as the Nuna Mixx Next and BabyStyle Oyster 3 , so it’s better suited to short journeys than full days exploring with your baby.

The flip-flop-friendly brake has colour indicators for peace of mind, offering quick visual reassurance that the brake has been properly engaged. When you’ve reached your destination, folding the Vista 2 away requires two hands due to its weight, however it clips together once folded for secure and compact storage.

We love the enhancements to the sun hood, with a large UPF50+ canopy that provides extensive shade coverage. It has an expandable section that can keep your baby protected from the sun’s rays even when fully reclined. The mesh viewing window is also a great feature, allowing you to check on your baby while they nap without the risk of disturbing them.

By far the most impressive feature on the Vista 2, however, is the shopping basket - the biggest shopping basket we’ve seen. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 basket can hold a significant 13.6kg, which is a big plus point when you’re stocking up on the best nappies at the supermarket. The basket is four times greater than that of the Oyster 3, although the chassis does run through the middle, so it requires a bit of spacial awareness when storing larger items. We love that it’s accessible from all directions as well as the smaller pockets for stashing your valuables.

8. Best travel system for easy fold: Joie Versatrax

One-handed recline 

Easy to fold

Reversible seat

Tackles a variety of terrain

Comes with a cup holder and carry strap

Large shopping basket 

No locking catch 

Removing the car seat can be a little tricky

“ We have it and I love it! It’s really easy to put up/fold down, baby seems to be comfy and it's really smooth to push” - recommended by Mumsnet user Amipreg1  

“ I have had the Versatrax from newborn and love it. It folds really easily and fits in the boot of my Mini. I haven’t noticed a bumpy ride, either when using the carrycot or the actual pram. I found it easy to put the carrycot on and off when he was tiny and I clipped the car seat onto the frame which was harder to get on and off. Now that I use the actual seat it looks lovely and I love that you can have it facing both ways” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user Tealandteal

“ I have the Versatrax and really like it. Giant basket, folds easily forward- and rear-facing, easy to manoeuvre on most terrain. I think it is really good value for money” - rated by Mumsnet user Clicheinaqashqai  

If a quick and easy fold is high on your travel system wish list, then the Joie Versatrax is certainly worth a look. Suitable from birth to four years old and sold as part of a travel system bundle for under £700, it offers excellent value for money. As a Which? Best Buy, the Versatrax also scored highly in their lab tests, with a quick and easy fold that can be triggered with the seat attached in either direction. 

Mumsnet users praise this travel system for its effortless fold. This can even be done one-handed - ideal if you’re out and about with your baby and toddler in tow. Once folded, the Verstrax sits relatively compact and can self-stand. 

The pushchair is heavy though, and while we wouldn’t recommend carrying it far, the integrated carry strap can spread the load for simple transportation to and from your car. If we’re being really critical, we would have loved a locking catch to hold the chassis securely in place when folded. 

The Joie Versatrax is suitable from birth thanks to its lie-flat seat, but you can also buy the Joie Ramble XL carrycot for extra-comfy strolls with your newborn. The Versatrax is also compatible with a variety of Joie infant car seats, including the i-Gemm and i-Snug , both of which clip to an ISOFIX base in your car (sold separately) to meet the enhanced i-Size car seat safety regulations . 

Unclipping the carrycot is quick and simple to do, however some reviewers have found the car seat trickier to detach due to the simultaneous lift and press of a release button. The pushchair seat is comfortable and roomy for your baby and, although a little fiddly, the strap length can be adjusted child to your child as they get taller. The seat itself is a little thin, but it has good padding across the back and harness, with a removable bumper bar for your baby to grab on to as they get bigger. 

Thanks to the all-wheel suspension, the Versatrax is easy to steer across most surfaces, with a relatively small turning circle and the ability to be pushed one-handed. The heavy design makes kerbs a bit more of an effort and, while not an all-terrain pushchair, the lockable front wheels are a big help when tackling rough terrains such as gravel and mud. The handlebar can also be adjusted to a comfortable height for each user and sandal wearers can rejoice as the brake is even flip-flop-friendly. 

We love the shopping basket on the Versatrax (which at 4.5kg is about average for a travel system of this size). It’s easy to access from all directions even when the pushchair seat is fully reclined, and has an internal pocket to keep smaller items close to hand.

9. Best travel system for design: Babystyle Egg2

Pushchair price: £879 | Latest deals from John Lewis

Bundle price from £1499 | Latest deals from John Lewis

Suitable from: Birth to 25kg | Orientation: Parent- and world-facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: H67.5 x D64 x W45cm | Weight: 15.3kg | Basket capacity: 3kg | Extras included: Rain cover

Good longevity with a high maximum weight of 25kg

Can be converted to a double for twins

Highly manoeuvrable and easy to steer

Three-position recline

Easy to adjust the harness 

Tackles varied terrain 

The car seat requires some strength to remove 

Basket is shallow

Need to remove the seat before folding 

Car seat adapters not included 

“ I love my Egg2. The suspension is great for all types of terrain: woods, pavement, bumpy roads, etc. My baby is happy in it since she was a newborn. Although it’s heavy, the size is not too big for getting onto the bus or train. My car is a small KIA RIO, and it fits alright. With its adjustable height, it suits both petite (me) and tall (husband) really well” - recommended by Mumsnet user Indoinuk

“ We absolutely love it. It is a very sturdy pushchair but very compact for walking around shops and using on public transport. We mainly use ours for walking along pavements although it has worked absolutely fine for use on country roads and even off-road in the local woodland. It is an expensive travel system, however that is really shown in the quality of it. My [child] is almost four years old and has been used extensively in that time but it still looks and feels brand new.“ - rated by Mumsnet user stormelf  

If you want a travel system that really stands out from the crowd, you’ll love the unique and stylish design of the Egg2. 

An upgrade from the original Egg stroller, the new Egg2 travel system features some exciting improvements. The new design has a larger-sized seat which not only sits slightly higher on the chassis but also has a taller back and an easy-adjust harness to support your child as they grow. 

Built with practicality in mind, the Egg2 also has an increased basket size and the ability to self-stand when folded - preventing any unwanted damage to the handlebar or chassis when you’re packing it away. And if that's not enough, the wheels on the Egg2 are also slightly larger, helping it perform better across more challenging terrain compared to its predecessor. 

With a distinctive design, this stylish pushchair is suitable for babies from six months through to an impressive 25kg, which could be up to five years of age - the highest capacity travel system we’ve featured. For younger babies, however, you’ll need to attach the Egg2 carrycot, with a soft cushioned mattress suitable for up to nine months, or clip on the aptly named Egg Shell car seat . It’s worth noting though that car seat adapters aren’t included, so you’ll need to factor this in as an extra when considering the overall purchase price. 

With a robust and sturdy design, the Egg2 weighs in at a substantial 15.5kg - over 5kg heavier than the heaviest travel system on our list - which may be off-putting to some. Despite its weight, it’s surprisingly easy to steer, with a small turning circle and the ability to be steered one-handed, even across grass, gravel and mud. The four-wheel suspension tackles kerbs with ease, without jolting or waking your baby. 

Folding does take some practice due to the multiple steps involved. Unlike the BabyStyle Oyster 3 and Nuna Mixx Next which can fold with the seat attached in either direction, the Egg2 carrycot or pushchair seat need to be fully removed from the frame before you can fold it away. Once folded, the Egg2 frame sits relatively compact and self stands without taking up too much space in your car. 

While it's on the higher end of the price scale for a travel system, this is certainly noticeable in its modern and stylish design, with great attention to detail including a height adjustable leatherette handlebar and matt chassis. 

Unlike some travel systems which have wheels that can look plasticity, the tri-spoke design on the Egg2’s puncture-free tyres is quite the opposite. They even leave a unique egg-shaped tread - a novel but lovely touch. There’s even an easily accessible flip-flop-friendly brake which uses only the base of your foot, so no squishing your toes in the process.

The basket capacity could be bigger considering the pushchair’s size, with a 3kg capacity which can fill quickly due to its shallow design. We like the sun hood, however, which not only offers excellent coverage but uses magnets for the viewing window - so no loud crunch of rip tape that risks waking your baby when you take a peak.

10. Best travel system for country living: Cybex Priam 

Pushchair price: Chassis £819.95 and seat pack £179.95  | Latest deals at John Lewis

Bundle price from £1,667.85 | Latest deals at Mamas & Papas

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg | Orientation:  Parent facing or world facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: 43 x 60 x 95cm | Weight: 13.6kg | Basket capacity: 5kg | Extras included: Rain cover and car seat adaptors

Suitable for varied terrain

Adjustable handlebar height 

A removable bumper bar for easy placement 

Heavy and bulky

Significant initial assembly

The slim narrow seat could be outgrown quite quickly 

Doesn’t lock once folded

Less suitable for public transport  

“ Priam. Such a great pram, we love it. Well made and sturdy, good for country walks.” recommended by Mumsnet user Anewhoo

“ I have it and really love it so far. The carrycot is really spacious and has zips to provide mesh ventilation on the sides. You can also clip the car seat in (we have Cloud Z). The manoeuvrability is absolutely brilliant - you can turn it in really tight spaces. When folded it’s pretty compact. We do have to pop a wheel off when putting it into the boot (we have Seat Ibiza) which isn’t really an issue as they just click in/out. Honestly, I’ve not got any cons so far apart from it being expensive but you get what you pay for and I’m very happy with it” - rated by Mumsnet user Nat4392

The robust Cybex Priam comes well regarded amongst Mumsnet users and online reviewers. Thanks to its sturdiness, it’s a popular choice for parents living in a more rural or countryside setting. An updated version of the original Priam from 2019, the 2022 edition offers several big improvements including a one-handed adjustable harness, revised seat design and a carrycot that sits higher up on the chassis.  

Due to the lie-flat recline, the Priam 2022 is suitable from birth through to 22kg, but the seat is narrow so you may find your child outgrows it sooner than age four. The seat can be used parent- or world-facing and, to ensure a comfortable ride for your baby, you can switch between four different recline positions and three leg rest positions.

As a travel system, the Priam 2022 can be combined with the spacious Cybex Priam Lux carrycot (suitable until around nine months of age) or the Cybex Cloud T i-Size baby car seat using the included adapters - ideal when moving your newborn to and from the car. 

While it's not an all-terrain pushchair, the Cybex Priam 2022 handles the majority of surfaces well with the exception of sand. Its weighty design is less suited to public transport but can navigate well around pavements and kerbs, as well as tackle trickier terrain such as gravel and grass with relative ease. The handlebar height can be set between 99 and 109cm and is easy to adjust when switching between parents or caregivers.

The fold has several steps, but is relatively straightforward, folding to a compact size that won’t exhaust all the space in your boot. At 13.6kg, however, it’s quite bulky to lift and one of the heavier travel systems on our list. 

We love the large central brake pedal which is quick and easy to operate. The included rain cover is simple to install and the generously sized sun hood offers more than adequate sun protection, although you may find the sideless design of the seat can let through some glare. Thanks to the magnetic viewing window, you can keep a close eye on your baby even when the seat is world-facing. 

We’re less keen on the storage basket’s slanted design, which feels restrictive in terms of space, despite its 5kg capacity. That said, you will find some additional small pockets of storage on the back of the seat - a great way to keep your phone close to hand.

11. Best lightweight travel system: Nuna Triv Next 

Pushchair price: from £600 | Latest deals from Boots

Bundle price from £950 | Latest deals from Boots

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg | Orientation: Parent facing or world facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: 36 x 59 x 66cm | Weight: 9.2kg | Basket capacity: 4.5kg | Extras included: Rain cover 

Large basket 

Adjustable handlebar height

Smooth on varied terrain 

Large sun hood 

Can’t be folded one-handed

The hood can be noisy when pulled out

“I absolutely love it! It's been perfect for us. The fold is so quick and easy, and my little girl is always really comfortable in it, very decent-sized shopping basket underneath reclines flat for naps, it also handles some rough terrain (bumpy grass, rougher pebbly floors etc) but does not huge ditches or anything.” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user MamaMiaOhDear

The second Nuna pram featured in our round-up of the best travel systems is the Nuna Triv Next - another Which? Best Buy that achieved the highest lab score of all the products on this list. An upgrade from the original Nuna Triv, the latest edition comes with an even lighter frame and updated wheels for improved handling across varied terrain. 

Suitable from birth to 22kg, the pushchair can be used parent-facing or world-facing, and reclines to one of four different positions, including a lie-flat option for newborns. Alternatively, you can combine the chassis with the comfortable padded Nuna Triv Series carrycot or the Nuna Triv car seat when travelling with a younger baby.

Despite weighing just 9.2kg, the Nuna Triv Next performs surprisingly well over rough terrain thanks to the robust rear wheel suspension, with the ability to navigate across gravel and woodland areas without any significant bumping. We love the five different height options on the leatherette handlebar, allowing for a safe and comfortable hold for parents of different heights. 

Whilst the relatively simple fold does require two hands, the result is a compact and lightweight pushchair that’s easy to carry thanks to the locking clasp and integrated carry handle. As a result, Triv Next is a practical choice for those travelling regularly on public transport. 

The generously sized sun hood can be a little noisy to extend, but is also water-repellent (ideal for those scattered showers) and provides good shade coverage, with a viewing window for discrete checks on your baby while they nap. We love the spacious 4.5kg storage basket which has elasticated sides and can be accessed from all directions, along with the extra zipped storage pocket to the rear of the seat. 

12. Best travel system for city living: Bugaboo Dragonfly 

Pushchair price: £695 | Buy now from Kiddies Kingdom

Bundle price from £945 | Buy now from Bugaboo

Tested by parents : Read our full Bugaboo Dragonfly review

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg | Orientation: Parent- and world-facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: One-piece self-standing fold with seat 36 x 52 x 90cm; one-piece self-standing fold with carrycot 32 x 52 x 90cm | Weight: 7.9-10.4kg | Basket capacity: 10kg plus extra 2.5kg when rear pocket is placed on handlebar | Extras included: Integrated carry strap; Parasol+ attachment clip

Carrycot can be collapsed with the buggy

Excellent storage

Rear storage pocket can be detached and hung on the handlebar

Freestanding when folded

Huge sun canopy with extra extension for sunny days

Sliding, easy-to-adjust five-point harness

Stiff and clunky recline

Takes time to master the fold

No rain cover included

"My daughter enjoys a ride in the Bugaboo Dragonfly and has fallen asleep in the toddler seat multiple times. She likes gripping onto the bumper bar when on the move, and the number of recline angles on the seat means she always sits or lays comfortably" - parent tester, Laura

A great option for those travelling around an urban environment on foot, the Bugaboo Dragonfly is designed specifically for city life. With a relatively lightweight frame, this buggy is much lighter than many other travel systems (with the exception of the Nuna Triv Next and Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2). 

Released in June 2023, the Bugaboo Dragonfly features a sliding harness, large extendable sun canopy, leather grip height-adjustable handlebar and huge storage basket with a rear storage pocket that detaches from the basket to be hung on the handlebars like a changing bag .

While the claim of a one-handed fold is debatable, the pushchair can self-stand once folded, making it easier to carry and store at home or on public transport. It also folds down with the carrycot attached - the first of its kind and a game-changer in the newborn days.

Thanks to its light frame, the Bugaboo Dragonfly is agile and easy to manoeuvre, with a small turning circle that makes it ideal for navigating through crowded city streets or narrow shop aisles.

Its large brake pedal is easy to engage. Parent tester, Laura, says, "The brake is one of the easiest I've used and holds effectively. You simply press the brake down with your foot to engage and disengage it, and this can even be done barefoot or with flip-flops."

As you may expect, however, the Bugaboo Dragonfly doesn’t fair quite so well as other travel systems on uneven ground and struggles in particular when it comes to bumping up kerbs.

What is a travel system?

A travel system is a pushchair that allows you to remove the seat or carrycot and replace it with a baby car seat .

Tailored specifically to newborn babies, a travel system can be bought as a standalone pushchair or as part of a bundle, either a 2-in-1 travel system, featuring a pushchair and carrycot, or a 3-in-1 travel system which also has a baby (Group 0+) car seat.

With the ability to attach a Group 0+ car seat (suitable from birth to 12 months), a travel system allows you to move your baby seamlessly from car to pram without disturbing them. The carrycot accessory is a convenient lie-flat option for your newborn that allows your baby to sleep while on the go, ensuring clear airways and healthy hip and spine alignment at all times. 

The size and weight of traditional travel systems (and in many cases the hefty price tag) means they're not for everyone, so it’s important to consider your lifestyle and habits when making your choice.

How we chose and tested the best travel systems

Over 100 hours of research and testing

Tested with real parents

Consumer-recommended

To ensure we're only recommending the very best travel systems, we first looked to the Mumsnet forums , home to 10 million users a month, to get the lowdown on the travel systems real parents rate and would recommend to others.

We then branched out to the wider web, collated reliable and honest consumer feedback from retail sites and bestseller lists. We also spoke to pushchair and baby travel experts from trusted organisations such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) as well as local NCT groups. 

To round out our research, we consulted the views of consumer champion Which? to discover how each travel system performed in their impartial lab testing environment.

Finally, wherever possible, we tested the travel systems ourselves, using a comprehensive testing and scoring system to highlight the best-performing products across the board. Specifically, we tested for safety and stability, assembly, ease of use, comfort, cleaning, materials and value for money. 

What is the difference between a pram, a pushchair, a buggy and a travel system? 

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are some key differences between a pram, pushchair, buggy and travel system.

Pram: A pram is a lie-flat travel solution, with a bassinet-style carry cot that allows your baby to lie in a more natural sleeping position. Prams are generally tailored towards newborns and young babies, suitable up to the age of around six months. 

Pushchair: Pushchairs offer additional flexibility as your child grows. Once they can sit up unaided (from around six months), your baby may transition from a pram to a pushchair, with the ability to sit more upright and visually explore their surroundings. With modern designs, many pushchairs now offer a lie-flat option that also makes them suitable from birth.

Buggy: The phrase buggy is often used as a catch-all phrase to describe a variety of products, but most commonly refers to a lightweight stroller that offers practical short-term travel solutions. A buggy tends to be less feature-rich and less able to tackle varied terrain, but is often cheaper and easier to store, with an umbrella fold or compact designs that can be stashed out of sight when not in use. 

Travel system : A travel system is a versatile choice and a practical option for parents who will be regularly switching between their car and travelling on foot. Parents can choose between a 3-in-1 travel system or a 2-in-1 travel system depending on their preference. In addition to a pushchair, a 2-in-1 travel system bundle includes a carrycot, which can be clipped onto the chassis as a lie-flat solution for newborns till around six months of age. 3-in-1 travel systems also include a car seat and will often require adapters to link to the main frame of the pushchair. 

Do I need a travel system?

Because travel systems can be bulky and expensive, it’s worth checking whether or not you actually need one.

If you often travel by car, a travel system will save you time and energy when out and about with your baby as you'll be able to easily remove and attach a car seat.

With a parent-facing carrycot attachment, and sometimes even the main seat unit itself, you'll also be able to lie your child completely flat, which will ensure that they are safe and secure at all times.

If you rarely use a car, or if you know you’ll be on and off public transport daily, then a lightweight buggy may be a more suitable option.

Some lightweight pushchairs, such as the Bugaboo Dragonfly can, however, be used as a travel system, which may just give you the best of both worlds.

Should babies lie flat in a pram?

To be suitable from birth, your pram or pushchair seat needs to recline into a ‘lie flat’ position - as close to 180 degrees as possible. This is because an upright seat can actually restrict your baby’s airways and reduce the amount of oxygen in their bloodstream due to the position of their head and neck. 

Some pushchairs are only suitable for use from six months and, as such, require the addition of a carrycot or car seat to be suitable from birth. It’s worth remembering that your baby should not be kept in a car seat for longer than two hours at a time, and should be removed at the earliest opportunity once you’ve reached your destination. 

Video: how to choose the best travel system

How much do travel systems cost.

Prices range from £250 to over £1,000 and most come as part of a bundle, which could save you money in the long run.

More expensive models may come with a multitude of added extras – think footmuffs, buggy boards and general customisable features – but this will, of course, increase the cost.

What should I look for when buying a travel system? 

Here are some important questions to ask yourself when considering which travel system is right for you: 

What does the price include and what is my budget? First up, how much are you willing to spend on your travel system? Consider what elements you will benefit from the most before deciding between a 2-in-1 bundle with a carrycot, or a 3-in-1 bundle with a carrycot and car seat. Some travel systems can be purchased for under £400, but for more luxury designs or bundles with more accessories, you can easily spend £1,000 or more. 

What is the weight limit? What is the maximum weight capacity for the pushchair? The vast majority of travel systems can accommodate children up to 22kg (approximately four years) however some stop at 15kg, so it’s worth checking the specifications with care. 

How easy is it to attach a carrycot or car seat? Does this require adapters and if so, are they included? Can this be done one-handed? If you’re going to be out and about on your own with your baby, it’s important you can attach and remove the car seat and carrycot without assistance. 

What are the seat recline options? How many recline settings does the pushchair element of the travel system offer, and is there a lie-flat option suitable for use with your newborn? Can the recline be triggered one-handed and with your baby already in the seat? Some travel systems have back recline options only, whereas others can adjust the angle of the footrest too - a helpful feature when travelling with older babies and toddlers. 

Can the seat be switched between parent- and world-facing? Most parents prefer to use their pushchair in parent-facing mode initially, enabling good eye contact and helping you keep a close eye on your baby whilst travelling. As your baby gets older, however, they may become curious about exploring their surroundings, so switching to world-facing can provide them with a better view. If your travel system pushchair has a viewing window in the hood, this can be helpful to allow regular checks that your baby is calm and content. 

Is it roomy enough? As well as the weight limits, it's important to consider the style, size and shape of the seat. Some travel systems such as the Cybex Priam are quite narrow and may be outgrown sooner than their specification suggests.

Does it have a five-point harness? How secure is the harness and is it padded for a comfortable fit? It’s also worth considering how easy it is to adjust the harness height as your baby grows. On some travel systems, this will be a simple, one-handed adjustment, while others will require some rethreading. 

How easy is it to fold? Can the fold be achieved one-handed and if not, how many steps are involved? Does the seat need to be removed beforehand? Is the process fairly intuitive or is it a case of practice makes perfect? It’s also worth considering whether the fold requires physical strength - something which will be even more important if you’re recovering from a c-section .

How compact is the fold? What are the dimensions of the pushchair once folded? Will it fit into the boot of my car or on public transport and does it have a safety clasp to hold it securely in place once folded?

How easy is it to push and steer? How easy is the pushchair to steer and can it cope with varied terrain? It’s worth considering the type of surfaces you will be travelling on most regularly. For city dwellers, most travel systems can navigate across pavements and down kerbs with ease, whereas you may need an all-terrain pushchair if you’re planning on taking your travel system to the beach or local woods. 

How heavy is it to carry? How much does the travel system weigh and are you able to lift this yourself, whether that’s to and from the car or onto public transport? Some travel systems include an integrated carry handle and while it's not something you’ll want to use regularly, this can help distribute the weight when carrying up and down the stairs at home. 

Is the handle height adjustable? Is the handlebar height fixed, or can this be adjusted to suit the parent? Most travel systems offer some handlebar adjustment, but to what margin will depend upon the brand. If you are particularly petite or tall, it's worth checking the lowest and highest height settings to ensure it’s comfortable to push. 

What's the brake like? How easy is the brake to trigger and is it flip-flop friendly? Some central brakes can disrupt your strides when walking quickly but are easier to access if you need to stop in an emergency. If you regularly wear sandals and flip-flops, you’re best to look for brakes that don’t require lifting up with the top of your foot to release. 

How big is the storage basket? One of the biggest variations between travel systems is the size of the storage basket, with our choices ranging from a 3kg capacity to over 13kg. As well as the capacity, you should look at the size and shape of the basket, whether it can be accessed from multiple angles, and whether it is still accessible when used with the carrycot. Some travel systems also offer additional storage such as pockets on the back or footrest. 

Does it come with a rain cover? We can always rely on the British weather to treat us to an unexpected downpour so an included rain cover is a handy accessory to protect your baby from the elements. If it’s not included, how much do they cost to buy as an optional extra? How easy is the rain cover to attach and can this be done quickly when the heavens open? 

Will the sun hood provide enough protection? Is it extendable? On warmer days, it’s important to keep the sun out of your baby’s face where possible. A good travel system will have a large sun hood or canopy, ideally with UPF50+ protection and an extendable section that provides coverage even when the seat is fully reclined. 

How easy is the travel system to clean? What fabric is the seat of your travel system made from? Can the covers be removed for easy cleaning, or is it spot clean only? 

What does it look like? Does it come in colours I like? While it's not the most important factor, the overall look and feel of your travel system is still something to consider, as you’ll want to feel confident when out and about with your baby. What colour choices are available? Is it a modern or traditional design? Do the fabrics and chassis look high quality and luxurious? 

Can I convert it to a double buggy or fit a buggy board? If you’re planning on growing your family, it’s worth considering whether the travel system could be easily converted to a double buggy , or whether a buggy board can be attached to the back. The latter is a great option for toddlers who may tire easily when walking on foot, whilst still encouraging some independence. 

What are the wheels like? What are the wheels made from and are they puncture-free? 

Can it handle off-roading? Does the travel system pushchair have any built-in suspension to tackle more off-road terrains? For more lightweight travel systems that don’t claim to be all-terrain, it’s worth looking for a lockable front wheel, as this can provide greater resistance against gravel and mud. 

How easy is it to assemble and take apart? Finally, for the flatpackphobes amongst us, how easy is it to get started with your travel system? Does it require any significant assembly before use and if so, how intuitive is it and are the steps easy to follow? Some travel systems also feature convertible carrycots, so if you are repelled by the prospect of following an instruction manual, you may want to opt for a design with a separate stand-alone carrycot

Travel system safety advice from RoSPA

We spoke to Nick Lloyd, Acting Head of Road Safety at The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), for some safety advice when buying a travel system:

Always buy from a reputable shop or website. Don’t try to get a cheap deal as you don’t know if you’ll be buying the real branded item or a copy

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to fit and use the travel system

Don’t leave your baby in the car seat for more than two hours (30 minutes if your child is a low birth weight or has medical problems). This can cause fatalities

  • Under no circumstances should a rearward-facing car seat be used on a passenger seat where there is an active airbag.
  • Correct fitting of all car seats and boosters is of paramount importance in making them the most effective in the event of an accident. Not all car seats fit all cars and it is important to check for fitting suitability on all cars you intend to fit the seat to, as well as re-checking if you change your car.
  • Always read the instruction booklet that comes with your car seat to achieve a safe and correct fitting, retaining the guide for future reference. We recommend fitting your car seat in advance of first using it.
  • We recommend that babies shouldn't be left in car seats (infant carriers) for prolonged periods.

Suitability:

  • Please make sure that you check the car seat you choose is suitable for your car before ordering. This can be done in store with a Partner or on the car seat manufacturer's website.
  • Some of our shops offer a car seat fit test, where a Nursery advisor will test the display model in your car to check that it will fit properly. Please contact your local shop to see if this service is available. Alternatively, please contact the car seat manufacturer who will be able to advise whether their model will be suitable for your car.
  • We also offer in-store and virtual appointments so you can access our All Things Baby services at a time and place to suit you. Click here to book your appointment. or find your nearest department store here.

All the car seats in our range are designed to give your child the best possible protection and meet the criteria set out in the R129 (iSize) safety regulation. A baby must travel in the safer rear-facing position up to the minimum recommended age of 15 months. Some R129 car seats can be used rear-facing until a child is 105cm tall, which is around 4 years old.

Side impact testing is assessed as part of the regulation to improve the protection of the child’s head and neck. R129 also makes use of the most high-tech crash test dummies which not only has improved sensor technology to test for greater sensitivity, but it also features more sensors on fragile areas of the body. iSize is an enhancement of R129 that makes it easier to confirm your car seat's compatibility with any iSize approved vehicle - reducing the risk of installing your car seat incorrectly. While all i-Size car seats meet the R129 testing standards, not every R129 car seat is an iSize compatible seat.

R129 (iSize) car seats are classified by height only. The below table is a rough guide as to how the car seats can relate to a child’s age based on the average child's height. In some instances, we may still need to check the weight of the child within the height band due to the maximum mass load permitted on a vehicle’s ISOFIX points.

Note: This is a rough guide only. Please always refer to the individual car seat’s guidance for more specific details. Some car seats will be approved for use across two or more height bands. This just means that these seats have the ability to adapt as your child grows, meaning they can use them for longer.

Did you find a better price?

We constantly check our prices to make sure we offer the best possible value. However, due to the number of items we sell, it’s impossible to check all prices on a daily basis. So, if you’ve seen a cheaper price on another website, let us know...

The egg’s smooth curves and infinite lines are immediately recognisable, and its advanced design and engineering are apparent as soon as you try the push or fold.

With a redesigned central hub, the central chassis is positioned 3.6cm higher than on the original egg, bringing baby closer to you and making tending to newborns easy when set up as a pram. Height adaptors are also still compatible with the egg 2.

The carrycot or seat unit has to be removed before folding, but collapsing the frame is a one-handed operation that leaves a very compact package, which freestands with your leatherette handle clear of the ground.

egg 2 has a slightly extended wheelbase (6cm longer), which makes for an expansive shopping basket. The larger front and rear wheels feature an attractive tri-spoke design that perfectly complements the chassis. Robust puncture-proof tyres feature a unique egg-shaped tread pattern, so you’ll leave your mark wherever you go! The combination of larger wheels, tyre material, suspension and egg’s Tru-Ride technology gives the smoothest ride for your little one, superior handling for you and added durability too.

Offering three-position recline and easily switched between parent and world-facing, the egg 2 seat is designed to promote comfort for longer. The new seat is 7cm taller to last your growing toddler longer, and sits slightly higher. It also features a new slider mechanism accessed via the rear of the seat to allow for the simultaneous quick and simple adjustment of the harness and new headrest. The seat canopy features a ventilation net that can also be used as a viewing window, closed using magnets sewn into the fabric.

The removable bumper bar has a gate-fold function, and there is a five-position calf adjustment with a concealed storage compartment.

The latest fabrics offer soft-touch marl tailoring in a range of earthy, on-trend colours, with matching footmuffs and backpack-style changing bags as part of this bundle. The Special Edition strollers come with a luxury ‘top loader’ backpack included.

One of the benefits of the egg stroller is the ability to turn it into a tandem should a new baby come along with just the additional purchase of tandem adaptors (a new version for the egg 2). The taller and longer chassis has made for greater space in all tandem configurations, and for twins or close-in-age siblings, tandem seats are currently available in a select range of egg 2 colours.

The egg 2 carrycot (available in all egg 2 colours) has evolved in both its shape and release mechanism; as a spacious nest suitable from birth to 9kg, it is longer and features an ergonomic release lever positioned at the head end. Like the seat unit, it also features a ventilation net and viewing window.

The Cloud Z2 infant carrier offers a full travel system experience for your egg stroller.

Enjoy all-round flexibility and comfort for you and your child with the Cloud Z2 i-Size. The clever rotation mechanism lets the seat face sideways for effortless entry and exit. A new in-car recline feature allows your child to relax during the journey, for even more comfort on the road. The Cloud Z2 i-Size is also flexible outside your vehicle: the seat can be reclined to a full lie-flat position as part of a travel system with a stroller. The integrated sun canopy offers generous shade inside and outside your car, in any recline position. This infant car seat is truly the perfect companion for every stage of your journey. Suitable rear facing from birth to 85cm.

The Cloud Z2 can be installed in the car using the adult seatbelt or the Cybex Base Z2 (included).

The Cybex Cloud Z2 can be used on your egg 2 pushchair chassis with the use of multi car seat adaptors (included).

  • Luxury, premium pushchair
  • Ability to turn from a single to a tandem for two little ones (tandem adaptors and second seat sold separately)
  • Reversible luxurious fleece liner included
  • Bundle contains matching footmuff and beautiful designer-style changing backpack
  • All the convenience of a travel system with matching i-Size infant car seat, ISOFIX base and adaptors to allow you to attach the car seat to your pushchair frame
  • Child and parent-friendly features including one-handed three-position recline, removable gate-opening bumper bar, adjustable handle height and hidden extra storage

Why should I consider buying a travel system?

It is not necessary to buy a full travel system from the outset, and they can seem like a more expensive outlay than a simple buggy. However, if you are planning on using the car to transport your baby, you will need an infant car seat. Plus, as a newborn should lie flat , it’s usually recommended to invest in a firm carrycot.

This is where a travel system comes into its own. It is designed for all these necessary elements to slot together nicely and for users to be able to change between them smoothly and quickly.

More like this

What to look for when buying a travel system, does it include a car seat.

“Parents love the option to use their infant carrier car seat on their pushchair as it can make life a lot easier,” says Charlotte Gelstharp at Natural Baby Shower . “It means you can simply transfer your sleeping little one from the pushchair to the car and vice versa easily without disturbing them.” If you’ll be using the pushchair for more than 2 hours , avoid using the car seat though as it is recommended by safety experts and manufacturers that babies don’t sit in them for prolonged periods of time.

Some travel systems have car seats from the same range that clip straight onto the base while others have a few different models which are compatible but need adapters to fit it. Check out which car seat you will get with your travel system and make sure you are happy with the safety credentials (and it will fit easily into your vehicle) before you buy.

Is there a carrycot and can it be used for overnight sleeping?

Newborn babies need to lie completely flat so many travel systems will include a carrycot to keep them in this optimal position until they are around 6 months and able to sit up in a pushchair. It isn’t always necessary to get a carrycot though, as some pushchairs will completely recline and may even come with inserts that make them suitable and comfortable for small babies. Though bucket-type toddler seat or even some of the ‘near-flat’ options out there are not recommended.

If you are buying a bundle with a carrycot, look at how comfortable it is and whether it is suitable for occasional overnight sleeping. If the manufacturer says it is suitable to use at night-time, this could save you the expense of buying a travel cot when your little one is small and will be handy for holidays and overnight visits.

Does it come with extra accessories?

The travel system bundles on our lists vary from those that just include the pushchair, carrycot and car seat to those with include almost everything you could imagine apart from the kitchen sink. Make sure you know exactly what you are getting in your bundle and weigh up whether you need the extras or not. Some mums will absolutely adore having a cup holder and a matching changing bag, while for others it will simply be more clutter to find a home for.

How heavy is it?

Travel systems are generally not as lightweight as the nippy compact buggies aimed at older children. But there are still some models on the market which have made an effort to keep weight to a minimum. Heavier systems tend to be more hard-wearing and robust and may feel smoother on rough terrains, but lightweight prams and pushchairs are easier to lift in and out of your car and can be easier to manoeuvre.

If you opt for a car seat, remember to also check how heavy it is and you'll most likely be lifting it out the car with your baby inside it.

How easy is it to fold up?

When you’re not using your travel system, you’ll want to fold it up either to put it in your car boot or to store it out of the way at home. Check how easy it is to fold – some can be folded with one hand, while others may be a bit more fiddly and need the seat or carrycot removing first. Does it stand up when folded or does it need to be laid down or leant against something? It is also worth knowing its folded dimensions to know if it will fit easily into your cupboard or car.

How much does a travel system cost?

On first glance travel systems seem more expensive overall, but you can get some really good value options, such as the Kinderkraft Xmoov (£329) on our list. With others costing more than £1000 there is a huge range of price points.

“Even though these may seem more expensive initially, travel systems can be a great investment,” explains Charlotte Gelstharp at Natural Baby Shower , a popular online retailer for pushchairs.

“You can create your own travel system using your own choice of car seats and pushchairs, however this can be confusing and complicated as you need to make sure everything is compatible with each element. Therefore, it can be easier and less confusing to opt for an already bundled together travel system.”

Some of the more expensive travel systems offer more items in the bundle or have better functionality or unique features, such as memory buttons that make changing between seat and carrycot easier or one-handed folds that can make a real difference to how you use the pushchair.

It might also be worth considering whether there are individual accessories that are important to you - some parents might desperately want a matching changing bag, without shelling out extra money, while others can’t do without a cup attachment. While these might not be deal-breakers, they might swing your decision.

How we chose and tested these pushchairs

Here's our pick of the best travel systems for newborn babies..., 1. joie versatrax with i-snug car seat and ramble xl carrycot, £530, – best for one handed fold.

Joie Versatrax with i-Snug car seat and Ramble XL carrycot

Suitable from: birth (with carrycot) to 22kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 75cm | Car seat i-Size: Yes | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: No | Pushchair weight: 11.7kg | Car Seat weight: 3.25kg | Unfolded dimensions: H92cm x W65.5cm x L112cm | Folded dimensions: H86cm x W65.5cm x L36cm | Awards: Gold – Newborn pushchair under £600, MadeForMums Awards 2021

Includes: Joie Versatrax pushchair, Ramble XL carrycot and i-Snug car seat

The Joie Versatrax is a superb 4-in-1 travel system, that consistently impresses users with its functionality, ease of use and versatility. It is fantastic value, especially considering the quality of car seat included with the system. The i-Snug is i-Size and lightweight, which makes it safe and easy to use.

We love the clever one-handed folding system, making it simple to get it in and out of the car or put it away when it isn’t in use. Our MFM testers praised how neatly it folds up without taking up too much space. "The fold on this pushchair allows it to become a great space saver," said MFM tester Maria. "It becomes a slim, self standing unit, which is fabulous to save space in the car boot, especially if you have a tiny boot."

Other great features include a roomy basket underneath – perfect for carrying all those bits and pieces you’ll need on a trip out and there’s even a useful pocket in the carrycot for your phone or car keys. The seat itself can be reclined flat and used for newborns as well as little ones who have outgrown the carrycot. But MFM reviewer and mum of two Laura felt the pushchair would could be a tight squeeze for larger toddlers and said, "I tried my 3-year-old in the seat (he’s just over 13kg) and it was very snug."

It’s also worth noting that the pushchair seat doesn’t come with a footmuff to keep your child’s legs warm, although the unit is soft and comfortable with padded straps. The carrycot also isn’t designed to be used for overnight sleeping so can’t double up as a travel cot.

Pros: Easy one-hand fold, free-standing when folded, large basket Cons: Footmuff not included, no auto-clip on fold, snug-fitting seat unit

2. UPPAbaby Cruz V2 with MESA i-Size Infant Carrier, £1074.97

– Best for the city and countryside

uppababy-cruz-v2

Suitable from: birth to 22kg | Car seat suitable from: birth up to 13kg | Car seat i-Size: Yes | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: Yes | Pushchair weight: 11.6kg | Car Seat weight: 4.8kg | Unfolded dimensions: H101.6cm x W57.8cm x L95.3cm | Folded dimensions: H83.8cm x W57.8cm x L41.9cm | Awards: Gold – Travel system over £800, MFM Awards 2021

Includes: UPPAbaby Cruz V2 pushchair, carrycot, rain covers, sun shades, insect nets, car seat and Isofix base

The UPPAbaby Cruz has always been a popular urban pushchair, with its generous basket, easy fold and relative compactness. The V2 is a new and improved version, offering even more longevity and functionality to the Cruz. For example the user weight limit is increased, the wheels are larger and can handle more terrain and the seat is more generous in size, so it should last better for fast growing kids.

According to MFM Reviews Editor, Christy, who reviewed the Cruz with her newborn, it is an ideal all-round hybrid pushchair that performs well in town but also in parks and on woodland walks. “It is a top-quality option for most,” she writes. “It’s so versatile, and such good quality that I can see it working for families in town or the countryside, as it’s so robust without being a huge size.” It also comes with a huge shopping basket, which can hold a whopping 13.6kg

The carrycot comes with a breathable mattress with washable cover, which is a big plus point if your little one brings up milk or has an exploding nappy while you’re out and about. It's also super easy to use, Christy adds, as you can remove it with one hand, pressing a button integrated in the hood. This makes such a difference to user-friendliness. “It is one of the brand’s real standout features,” says Christy. “My friend, using the Bugaboo Bee5 herself, and my husband, were both also very impressed!”

Unlike many travel systems which only work with one type of car seat, the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 gives you a choice. The MESA i-Size fits directly onto the frame but it is also compatible with a range of other popular car seats using adapters so you can pick which one you prefer.

Pros: Handles multiple terrains, large upper weight limit, easy to remove carrycot Cons: Pricey, not the lightest

3. Cosatto Wowee and RAC Port i-Size Car Seat, £999.95

– best for bright, sensory patterns.

cosatto wowee

Suitable from: birth (with carrycot) to 25kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 15 months| Car seat i-Size: Yes | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: Yes | Pushchair weight: 11.8kg | Car seat weight: 4.7kg | Unfolded dimensions: H87cm x W62.5cm x L97cm | Folded dimensions: H25cm x W62.5cm x L97cm

Includes: Cosatto Wowee pushchair, carrycot, car seat with matching hood, car seat base, footmuff, raincover and changing bag

Cosatto is best known for its bright, quirky designs that stand out from the crowd (useful for spotting your pushchair quickly if you’ve left it in a buggy park). But there is more to the Cosatto Wowee than just its looks. The brand actually has a team of designers backed by scientists, who create bold and carefully place characters and patterns on the fabrics which aim to attract baby’s attention and develop their sensory skills. It is a unique selling point of the brand, appreciated by parents, with many reporting on how the designs engage their little ones.

Compact and fairly lightweight, the Cosatto Wowee folds easily using one hand with the seat on in either direction – both parent and world-facing. This is much simpler than many travel systems which need the seat to be in a certain position or removed before folding. "The fold is the Wowee’s party trick," said MFM tester Danny. "Being able to leave the seat (parent-facing and world-facing) in could be a real game-changer in some scenarios and certainly offers a level of flexibility I haven’t experienced with other pushchairs." When folded, it is small and easy to store and will fit easily into most car boots. The seat can also be fully reclined and used from birth so you don’t need to get the carrycot for your newborn if you don’t want to.

There are some great little details with the Wowee designed to make your life as a parent easier - the extendable hood offers UPF 100+ sun protection and the brake is flip-flop friendly. MFM tester Danny found it didn’t offer as smooth a ride as more expensive travel systems, especially on uneven ground but described it as “excellent value for money if you need an all-rounder that also saves on space.”

Pros: Eye-catching design, folds with seat facing both directions, lie-flat seat Cons: Struggles a little on rough terrain

4. Venicci Tinum 3in1 Travel System, £799

– best for taller parents.

Venicci Tinum

Suitable from: birth up to 22kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 13kg | Car seat i-Size: Yes | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: No | Pushchair weight: 12kg | Car seat weight: 3kg | Unfolded dimensions: H105cm x W58cm x L73cm | Folded dimensions: H63cm x W58cm x L41cm | Awards: Gold – Travel system under £800, MFM Awards 2021

Includes: Venicci Tinum pushchair, carrycot, car seat with adaptors, footmuff, changing bag, changing bag, raincovers and insect nets

Venicci isn’t the most well-known brand for buggies but this 3in1 travel system is a hidden treasure, which is why we named it as a MadeforMums gold award winner for 2021. It's the brand's most narrow and compact pushchair, making it convenient for taking on public transport or getting past people in shops or crowded streets, although the basket is a bit on the small side. It's also packed with matching accessories, making it great value for money.

The hoods on both the carrycot and pushchair have in-built ventilation and can be extended to offer extra shade. With in-built suspension, sturdy wheels and easy steering, it is just as suitable for a day out in the country as it is zipping around a city centre. MFM reviewer and mum-of-one Rohese said, "From uneven pavements to wet grass, stony paths and deep mud, the large wheels offered no resistance."

The pushchair can also be folded and unfolded using one hand and with the seat attached parent-facing or world-facing, which isn't the case with many buggies. Plus, the 5 different height positions for the handle mean it is comfortable for both tall and small parents and you won’t end up hunched over while pushing your little one around.

Pros: Lots of accessories included, all-terrain, 5 handlebar positions Cons: Small shopping basket

5. egg2 Stroller and egg Shell Car Seat, from £1,399

– best for premium quality.

egg 2 travel system

Suitable from: birth (with carrycot) to 25kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 13kg| Car seat i-Size: Yes | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: Yes | Pushchair weight: 15.5kg | Car seat weight: 4.8kg | Unfolded dimensions: H113cm x W59cm x L84.5-96cm | Folded dimensions: H71cm x W59cm x L32cm | Awards: Gold – Travel system over £800, MFM Awards 2021

Includes: egg2 pushchair, carrycot, footmuff, changing bag, fur seat liner, raincovers, insect net, car seat, Isofix base and adaptors

The egg2 travel system is gorgeous to look at with a sleek, modern design and can easily be converted into a tandem if you find yourself needing a double buggy. Both the seat unit and carrycot are made from materials offering UPF50+ sun protection and it is super simple to switch between the two. It is also quick and easy to fold down with one hand, although you do need to remember to take the seat off first.

The egg2’s good looks and ergonomic design earned it a 2021 Made for Mums gold award. MFM tester Jessica tried out the travel system with her newborn and said: “As well as being one of the best-looking travel systems on the market, this is one of the highest quality.” She found it provided a smooth ride on all types of terrain.

The carrycot is really comfortable and has a viewing window for keeping an eye on your sleeping baby. Larger than the original egg, the egg2 is designed to give your little one more space to travel in style but it is one of the heavier travel systems on our list.

Pros: Cosy cocoon carrycot, luxury fabrics, handles well Cons: Need to remove seat before folding, seat not suitable for newborns, heavy

Suitable from: birth up to 22kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 13kg | Car seat i-Size: No (ECE R 44/04 tested) | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: No | Pushchair weight: 11.8kg | Car seat weight: 3.3kg | Unfolded dimensions: H92cm–116cm x W60cm x L110cm | Folded dimensions: H75cm x W62cm x L42cm | Awards: Silver – Travel system under £800, MFM Awards 2021

Includes: Kinderkraft Xmoov pushchair (with 2-in-1 seat and carrycot), rain cover, MINK car seat and adaptors, insect net, car seat, changing bag and mat, bag hooks, cup holder and footmuff

If you’re on a tight budget, this 3-in-1 travel system ticks all the boxes as it comes with everything you’ll need for your newborn baby until they’re a toddler at just over £300. Without sacrificing on quality, "it does everything you’d need and more compared to some of the more premium buggies on the market," commented MFM tester Scott.

Unlike most travel systems, the carrycot converts into a pushchair seat so you won’t have to find space in your home to store whichever part you’re not using. The pushchair’s handle has 8 different heights, so both parents can adjust it to a position which is comfortable for them. Plus, the chassis has 4 "thick and chunky" inflatable rubber tyres which MFM tester Scott said helped to "navigate over bumpy terrain as well as pavements for a smooth ride".

Our MadeforMums reviewer Jennifer found the travel system a little difficult to put together when it first arrived but easy to use once assembled. One other reservation was that the included MINK car seat was a little basic and not compatible with an ISOFIX base so must be fitted using the seatbelt, however MFM tester Jodie did find it "very easy" to take on and off the frame.

Pros: Great value, all-terrain, 8 handlebar heights Cons: Tricky to assemble at first

7. Babymore MeMore Travel System, £499

– best for comfortable carrycot.

Babymore MeMore Travel System

Suitable from: birth (with carrycot) up to 22kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 13kg | Car seat i-Size: No | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: Yes | Pushchair weight: 10kg | Car seat weight: 2.5kg | Unfolded dimensions: H100cm–109cm x W59cm x L80cm | Folded dimensions: H35cm x W59cm x L69cm | Awards: Silver – Travel system under £800, MFM Awards 2021

Includes: Babymore MeMore pushchair, elevator, carrycot, car seat, car seat adaptors, Isofix base, foot muff, seat liner, rain cover, changing bag, changing mat and cup holder

Our testers loved all the extra accessories included in the 13-piece set, which comes in at less than £500. The bundle includes the usual chassis, seat, carrycot and car seat you’d expect with a travel system, but you also get an Isofix base, rain cover, changing bag and more. There are also some elevators which will lift your carrycot or seat up a bit higher if you want baby to be closer to you. "It is these little extras that I really like about this system," said MFM tester Cathy. "The things that give extra elements of comfort for baby."

The deep and comfy carrycot can be used for overnight sleeping which is a big plus point and saves you the hassle of getting a separate travel cot during those first few months of parenthood. Both our testers found it to be spacious and comfortable, with mum Joanne commenting, "It passed the sleep test with my newborn! The mattress feels good quality and the fabric around the carrycot is a breathable to allow for extra airflow and a safe sleep environment for baby."

The travel system itself looks smart and while it might not be quite of the same quality as its much more expensive competitors, you can’t tell unless you examine it closely. MFM tester Joanne found it worked well on all terrains and could be easily pushed with just one hand. Folding it up is a piece of cake too and can be done singlehandedly. Though keep in mind both our testers found building the pushchair to be tricky, so you may need an extra pair of hands.

Pros: Carrycot can be used for overnight sleeping, handles well on multiple terrains, lots of extras included Cons: Pushchair tricky to build

8. Silver Cross Wayfarer 2020, Dream and i-Size base bundle, £1,030

– best for urban living.

silver cross wayfarer 2020

Suitable from: birth (with carrycot) to 22kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 15 months| Car seat i-Size: Yes | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: Yes | Pushchair weight: 10kg | Car seat weight: 7kg | Unfolded dimensions: H107-93cm x W54cm x L82cm | Folded dimensions: H32cm x W54cm x L85cm | Awards: Silver – Travel system over £800, MFM Awards 2021

Includes: Silver Cross Wayfarer pushchair, carrycot, carrycot hood and apron, i-Size infant carrier and base, car seat adaptors, footmuff, changing bag, cup holder and car seat rain covers

Made by heritage pram brand Silver Cross, the Wayfarer 2020 is ideal for city living with a lightweight chassis, inline wheels and compact design. Our testers were also taken with how well it tackled bumpy ground and going up and down kerbs. "There are lots of cobbled streets in our area of London (Shad Thames)," said MFM reviewer Sarah. "So the tiniest of city pushchairs often struggles (or my baby looks like he is sat on a pneumatic drill – not ideal!). But the Wayfarer 2020 does the job well."

We also loved that the carrycot was suitable for overnight sleeping and lined with temperature-regulating and antibacterial bamboo so your baby won’t overheat. It also it comes with the Dream i-Size car seat and base, which have impressive safety credentials and were given the best ever rating by ADAC, an independent organisation which tests child car seats. Both our testers also found it easy to take on and off the Wayfarer pushchair.

Made from high quality materials, it is hard to find a downside with the Wayfarer 2020 but MFM reviewer Sarah did find it tricky to put together and spent about half an hour assembling all the pieces before using it for the first time. Although the shopping basket is spacious, it's also worth keeping in mind that it can be tricky to access with the carrycot on top.

Pros: Lightweight, compact and easy to manoeuvre Cons: Shopping basket access tricky with carrycot

9. Cybex Balios S Lux with Cybex Aton M i-Size, from £864.65

– best for sun protection.

Cybex Balios S Lux

Suitable from: birth up to 22kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 13kg/87cm/24 months | Car seat i-Size: Yes | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: No | Pushchair weight: 11.7kg | Car seat weight: 4.2kg | Unfolded dimensions: H110cm x W60cm x L90cm | Folded dimensions: H43cm x W60cm x L75.5cm | Awards: Bronze – Travel system over £800, MFM Awards 2021

Includes: Balios S Lux pushchair, Aton M i-Size car seat, Base M, car seat adapters, rain cover, Cot S, cup holder and footmuff

The Cybex Balios S Lux is available on its own as a pushchair or in a bundle with a carrycot and compatible Cybex car seat, which MFM tester Hollie found "super easy" to click on and off the pushchair frame. Like the Joie Versatrax, it can be folded up using just one hand (although our reviewer found it took some getting used to) and has a large basket on the base which can carry loads of up to 5kg, making it a handy shopping companion.

One of the biggest selling points for this travel system is the large extendable hood, which is made from UPF50+ fabric and offers plenty of shade on sunny days. The frame itself is sturdy and can easily handle a bit of off-roading with smooth suspension and tough all-terrain wheels – all features which helped earn the travel system a MadeforMums 2021 bronze award.

The pushchair seat can be reclined into a lie-flat position so it can be used from birth but if you’ve got a newborn, you’ll probably want to get the compatible Cot S carrycot, which has a memory foam mattress to make it comfortable for naps on the move. If you want something less bulky to keep your baby snug, you can also buy the Cocoon S, which fits onto the reclined pushchair seat, offering head and neck support and a bit of extra warmth.

The Cybex Balios S Lux isn’t as compact as many similar travel systems, although it is really easy to steer and manoeuvre around even the tightest corners. MFM reviewer Fay tested it out with her 6-month-old and said: “Despite the pram feeling quite weighty, it is remarkably easy to get up and down curbs. My son remained asleep throughout many hills and bumpy roads.”

Pros: Spacious and comfortable seat with large hood Cons: Single hand folding takes practice

10. My Babiie Your Babiie Belgravia Rose Gold Black Travel System, £599.99

– best for celebrity style.

Your Babiie Belgravia Rose

Suitable from: birth up to 22kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 13kg | Car seat i-Size: No | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: Yes (hood down and apron off) | Pushchair weight: 10kg | Car seat weight: 2.5kg | Unfolded dimensions: H102cm x W57cm x L92cm | Folded dimensions: W57cm x L65cm | Awards: Bronze – Travel system under £800, MFM Awards 2021

Included: Your Babiie Belgravia pushchair, carrycot, car seat, rain cover and footmuff

Designed with actress and singer Christina Milian, this fashionable travel system screams luxury with its stylish but strong rose gold aluminium frame and leather handlebar. Though it's not all style over substance with our MFM testers praising the roomy and well-padded car seat and carrycot. MFM tester Tracey said, "I particularly like the size of the carrycot and car seat, meaning you could use these parts longer than others on the market making it better value for money."

The storage basket underneath zips up, reducing the risk of anything falling out but this does mean you can’t use it to carry really large items. MFM tester Rebecca loved the quality and look of the travel system, although she felt the suspension was an issue. She said: “Our son was bouncing slightly in the car seat when pushing on both rough and smooth ground.”

This travel system is not as lightweight as many of the other options on this list but it is quite compact when folded, collapsing down at the push of a button to a one-piece fold. "There was plenty of room in the boot compared with other pushchairs I've used," said MFM tester Tracey. And despite the overall weight, our testers didn’t think it felt heavy when pushing it.

Pros: Stylish look with luxury trim, roomy car seat and carrycot, one-piece fold Cons: Lack of suspension

11. Didofy Cosmos, £599

– best for mid-range budgets.

didofy cosmos

Suitable from: birth 22kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 13kg| Car seat i-Size: Yes | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: Yes | Pushchair weight: 10.2kg | Car seat weight: 3.2kg | Unfolded dimensions: H103cm x W78cm x L57cm | Folded dimensions: H88cm x W35cm x L57cm

Includes: Didofy Cosmos pushchair, carrycot, Group 0+ car seat, Isofix base, raincover and footmuff

With a modern, streamlined design, the Didofy Cosmos looks attractive and is easy to whizz around on city streets even with just one hand. Although it is aimed at urban dwellers, it is still fairly robust with puncture-proof wheels and advanced in-built suspension for a smooth ride.

MFM reviewer and mum-of-2 Laura said: “It manoeuvred quickly and made light work of bumpy, uneven surfaces, without rattling or feeling unsteady thanks to its built in suspension.” She also liked how light it was to lift the different pieces on and off the frame and that you didn’t need separate attachments to fit the carrycot or car seat. Though MFM tester Madeleine did find the carrycot to be on the snug side.

Like the Cosatto Wowee, the way this travel system folds is a big selling point – it has a one-handed folding mechanism and can be folded with the seat on in both directions. It can also be stored both upright – it will stand on its own – or horizontally so is a good choice if storage is tight at home.

Pros: Lightweight with great suspension, one-handed fold, can be stored upright Cons: Snug carrycot

12. Ickle Bubba Aston Rose, includes Mercury i-Size car seat, £899

– best for effective brakes.

Ickle Bubba Aston Rose

Suitable from: birth to 15kg | Car seat suitable from: birth to 80cm | Car seat i-Size: Yes | Carrycot suitable for overnight sleeping: Yes | Pushchair weight: 11kg (chassis with wheels) | Car seat weight: 4.9kg | Unfolded dimensions: H110.5cm x W62cm x L95cm | Folded dimensions: H36cm x W62cm x L94.5cm

Includes: Aston Rose pushchair, carrycot, car seat, Isofix base, luxury seat liner, footmuff, changing mat, changing bag, cup holder and rain cover

The Ickle Bubba Aston Rose travel system is one of the most practical bundles on our list. There are some that include more items, but the Aston Rose features an i-Size car seat as well as the Isofix base to go with it. This is a generous piece of kit to include, and will be a deal breaker for many parents.

Our favourite feature on the Aston Rose is the hand-operated brake. Less fiddly than using your feet, securing the travel system when you stop is an absolute doddle and we'd like to see more manufacturers haven’t incorporated hand-operated brakes into their designs. The telescopic handlebar is reversible and can be flipped over the top of the seat, making it really easy to get a wriggly toddler into and out of the pushchair.

The carrycot is comfortable, well-ventilated and suitable for overnight sleeping with a luxurious silky lining. There is also a handy bumper bar you can dangle toys from to keep your little one entertained. The carrycot and the seat unit use the same frame so it is a little fiddly to switch over when your baby graduates from pram to pushchair but hopefully you’ll only have to do it once.

MadeforMums reviewer Tara said: “The first thing I noticed about this travel system was the design and quality. I thought the gold detailing, faux leather touches and matching accessories looked very stylish.”

Pros: Isofix base included, smooth to push, hand operated brake Cons: Fiddly to switch from carrycot to seat
