Do I need a travel system?
Short answer: It depends on your plans. A travel system is a bundle of pushchair chassis, carrycot or seat unit and infant car seat that click onto the same frame, used from birth, moving from the carrycot or car seat to the seat unit as your baby grows.
Think about your space, budget and how long you will use it.
- Check exactly what is in the bundle: carrycot, seat unit, car seat, adapters, ISOFIX base.
- Check that the car seat suits your car and meets R129 (i-Size).
What the guidance says
- It is fine for a baby to fall asleep in a car seat while you travel, but take them out as soon as you arrive.
