Travel Systems FAQ

What is a travel system, and how does it differ from a pushchair?

A travel system is a complete set that includes a pushchair and a compatible car seat, allowing you to move your baby from car to stroller seamlessly. Unlike standalone strollers, a 3 in 1 travel system often includes a carrycot for newborns, offering more versatility from birth to toddlerhood. Popular options include the Ocarro All-Terrain Pushchair, perfect for both urban and off-road adventures, or lightweight city-friendly models like the Airo.

What’s the difference between a stroller, pushchair, and buggy?

While people often use the terms interchangeably, there are subtle differences. A stroller is typically lightweight and ideal for toddlers, while a pushchair is more robust and suitable from birth. A buggy is often a more compact, foldable option, perfect for travel and quick trips.

What should I consider when choosing a travel system?

Look for a travel system that suits your lifestyle - whether you need a compact model for city living or an all-terrain option for outdoor adventures. Consider weight, foldability, and whether you need a double pram for growing families. A 3 in 1 travel system gives maximum flexibility, adapting from newborn to toddler stages.

Do I need a travel system or just a pushchair?

If you're looking for an all-in-one solution from birth, a travel system is a great choice as it includes a car seat. However, if your baby is older or you already have a car seat, a pushchair or stroller might be a better option.

Are travel systems suitable for newborns?

Yes, most travel systems include a carrycot or a lie-flat seat, making them safe and comfortable for newborns. Some models also let you attach a car seat for easy transitions between car and buggy without disturbing your baby.
