It's ideal from birth until your baby can sit up unaided, typically about 6 months. A carrycot is an excellent alternative to a crib or moses basket and can double up as a travel cot if you are you are away from home. The carrycot in the

Most 3 in 1, combination prams pair a pushchair and an infant car seat or carrycot, so you can pick the best method of transport for your trip.

Also, look out for accessories such as footmuffs, weather shields and tray for the child and parent to help your little one feel comfy and secure while they sleep in their cot.
Stroller
A stroller is ideal if your baby is already able to sit in a car seat that is for infants and is able to start walking on their own. Strollers are easy to fold and are small enough to can be tucked away in the trunk of your car. They're spacious enough to accommodate all of the necessities for your baby and provide a comfortable ride, even on rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet for naps in the car. The best strollers are fitted with the latest safety features, like 5-point harnesses. They are a great choice for parents who are just starting out.
Modern strollers and prams come with adaptors which allow you to connect an automobile capsule to the chassis. This allows you to transfer your baby to sleep without disrupting them.

This is best demonstrated with the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller that can be transformed into a carrycot or a group 0+ child seat.
