What is it?
A 2-in-1 combination includes:
- A collapsible chassis with fixed shopping basket or tray
- A seat unit with a hood and apron which converts it from being a pram when fully
reclined to a pushchair when it’s upright
Is it for me?
- It is suitable from newborn to children up to around 3
- It is likely to be a more economical buy than a 3-in-1
- It gives you the comfort of a pram and the convenience of a pushchair in one item,
although it may not always be as sturdy as a pram with a separate carrycot - The latest 2-in-1s have the facility for the top unit to be lifted off the chassis in
pram mode, like a carrycot. However, because this unit is also the pushchair, it has the
safety harness fixed in place, which means that the baby lies on the harness. Some
manufacturers have overcome this by including a padded liner or thin mattress - Though it is easier to store than a 3-in-1 it is still quite bulky in the car boot
