This allows you to get out with your baby much more convenient. It also means that when your baby grows out of their car seat and carrycot they can use the stroller along with you. This is a great option for families that have busy lives and a lot to do every day.

How do you fold?

Some pushchairs can fold by a single button press. Some folds require two hands, or a few steps, but they are still extremely compact. Some models even stand when folded, making it simple to grab and go. This type of design is ideal for those who reside in a city or commute, and need to make the transition from a car to a pushchair a seamless process or when you have a small space in your boot and require a product that folds really small to fit in it.

Some travel system pushchairs, depending on the model, can be used from the birth of a child by adding a car seat or carrycot. They are usually approved to be taken in the cabin on flights and are great for parents that like to travel a lot with their family.

The most cost-effective choice is to purchase an automobile seat that is paired with the pushchair. The bundle is created by the brand, and it consists of a car seat and pushchair designed to work in tandem. Additionally, some pushchairs indicate which car seats they are compatible with and you could purchase a separate seat (though this may require adaptors for your car seat). The Babyzen YOYO is Gemma's top pick for the best travel systems that are lightweight, thanks to its clever features and quick folding.

What does it look like?

A travel system bundle is an excellent option to purchase a stroller and car seat together, with the added bonus of comfort, security and, in most cases, cost savings. These bundles are assembled by brands or retailers. The components are hand-picked for their compatibility. This means you don't have to do a lot of research on the best car seat with your ideal pushchair or searching on the internet for a footmuff or changing bag that complements the style.

These pushchairs are generally comprised of a frame that fits into the car seat group 0+ and includes a carrycot, or seat unit, that can be used either forward-facing or in the opposite direction to the parent, based on your preference or the regulations (rear-facing is recommended in cars up to 15 months). Some of them can be converted into a tandem or twin if you are expecting more than one child.

They can also help you save space in the boot of your car making it easier to go to shops or do the school run.
