The carrycot

For this reason, a carrycot can be an ideal alternative to hiring a babysitter. It can also save you time and money.
When it comes to selecting a carrycot, look for one that features solid frame that is designed for ease of movement and folding with minimal effort. It should be light enough it can be easily moved and stored away and should come with a canopy that protects your child from sun. To ensure your baby's safety, you should also choose a carrycot made of high-quality fabrics with flame retardant fillings.
A good quality carrycot will include a comfortable mattress, which is typically filled with polyurethane foam for maximum support and comfort. You can also find designs that offer adjustable base levels to accommodate your growing baby and provide the best comfort.
A good quality carrycot should also have handles that can be linked or one handle to make moving easier. This is especially useful in the case of multiple family members who use the stroller.
Finally, you should look for a carrycot that includes a footmuff - this is a must-have item for every parent, since it will provide your child with warmth and protection from the elements.

The seat unit
The seat is component of a 2-in-1 travel system that transforms from a carrycot into a pushchair when your baby is ready to sit up. It usually has recline capabilities and two "facing directions" that are either parent-facing or back-facing or world facing. It should be spacious, comfortable for your child, and include a sunshade, have a cover and be easy to put off and put on the pushchair frame.
You can buy a carrycot and pushchair separately or together in a bundle. Bundles save you time and money by allowing you to begin with the carrycot, and then change it over to the pushchair seat once your baby is about six months old, or is able to sit up unaided. The majority of travel systems come with adaptors for car seats that allow you to connect the infant car seat and the pushchair chassis. This lets you easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair.
When buying a carrycot, choose a model that is comfortable with breathable materials that will keep your baby cool and comfortable. Some models are even designed with ventilation, sun protection and an upholstered mattress, which means your baby will be able to sleep peacefully.

Once your baby is ready to transition from their carrycot into the pushchair seat, they'll need a supportive and comfortable seat with plenty of padding, good support for the lumbar area and a five-point safety harness. It's also important to know whether the seat has a reversible liner for the seat or footmuff, which is extremely soft and waterproof, and is able to be used during colder months.
Search for a pushchair that has a large basket, which is easy to reach from the main seat. It should also have several pockets to store your purchases. Consider the option of a changing bag to keep you well-organized on your trips. You can pick up an coordinating changing bag from many brands or opt for a tote or backpack that can be easily fitted on the frame of your stroller.
The footmuff

It also comes with easy strap openings that allow you can secure the baby in their vehicle seat or stroller. Some footmuffs are designed to fit certain strollers or car seats. This is ideal for keeping your baby warm without worrying about overheating.
