The carrycot
The carrycot is a great spot for infants to rest, providing them with a secure and comfortable environment. It's a safe and comfortable place for newborns to rest. Laying flat is important for spinal and lung development.
Carrycots can be carried wherever, so you don't have to be a nuisance to your baby as they are sleeping. This is a great option if you are running an errand and don't have a babysitter, or just want to enjoy some fresh air and a pleasant stroll. Therefore, a carrycot can be a great alternative to hiring a babysitter and can save your time and money.
When you're looking to purchase the right carrycot, choose one that features strong frames that are designed for easy movement and can be folded with a minimum of effort. It should also be light to ensure it's easily moved and stored and feature a canopy that offers protection from the sun. Also, it is important to choose a carrycot that is made from high-quality fabrics and fillings which are flame-resistant to ensure your infant's safety.
A quality carrycot should have a comfortable mattress which is typically filled with polyurethane foam to provide maximum support and comfort. There are designs that have adjustable base levels that will be able to accommodate your growing baby and provide maximum comfort.
A quality carrycot should also come with handles that can be linked or one handle to make moving more convenient. This is particularly useful if you have different family members who are using the pushchair, since it allows everyone to operate the stroller comfortably.
Also, consider a carrycot with a footmuff - this is a must-have accessory for every parent, since it will provide your child with warmth and protection from the elements. A good quality footmuff should have a soft, comfortable lining, and be made of waterproof fabrics to keep your baby warm. Additionally, the best footmuffs are also compatible with your carrycot and come with a 5-point harness.
The seat unit
The seat is component of a 2-in-1 travel system that converts from a carrycot into a pushchair when your baby is ready to sit up. It typically has a recline function and two directions of 'facing' - facing the parent (or rear-facing) or world-facing (or forward-facing). It should be spacious and comfortable for your child, include sunshade, a cover and be easy to get off and put on the frame of the pushchair.
You can buy a carrycot and pushchair on their own or as a complete bundle. Bundles can help you save time and money since you can start with a carrycot, and then switch it to a pushchair seat unit once your baby is six months old or is able to sit up without assistance. The majority of travel systems come with car seat adaptors enabling you to connect the infant car seat to the chassis of the pushchair, so your sleeping baby can be easily moved from car to pushchair and back again.
When you are shopping for a carrycot, ensure that it is a comfortable style with breathable fabrics that will keep your baby cool and comfortable. Some models are designed with ventilation, sun protection and a soft mattress, so your baby will be able to rest comfortably.
If you intend to use your carrycot from birth, make sure it permits the use of a parent facing position as this will enable you to monitor your child.

When your baby is ready to move from their carrycot to a pushchair seat they will need a supportive, comfortable seat that has plenty of padding and good lumbar support as well as a five-point harness. It's also important to determine whether the pushchair comes with a reversible seat liner or footmuff which is super-soft, showerproof and can be used during colder months.
Find a pushchair that has a spacious basket that's easy to access from the main seat and comes with multiple pockets to store your shopping. It's also recommended to think about an extra bag for changing which will help you keep track of your outings. A majority of brands have matching changing bags, or you could opt for a bag tote or backpack that is a perfect fit on the frame of your stroller.
The footmuff
A footmuff will keep your baby warm during cold winter days. The footmuff wraps around lower body of your baby to keep it warm and toasty. It also has convenient strap openings so that you can still secure it to your car seat or stroller. Most brands have a range of footmuffs to choose from, with some designed specifically for strollers or car seats that are ideal for keeping your baby warm and snug without worrying about them getting too hot.
