Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact, portable cot that attaches to a pram frame and allows babies to sleep comfortably when traveling. It is ideal to use from birth until your baby can stand up on their own without assistance, which is typically around six months. A carrycot can also be used as a substitute to a crib or moses basket. It can also be used as a travel bed when you are away from home. The carrycot that comes with a 2 in 1 travel system pram typically has a wide flat base that is designed to support your baby's natural sleeping position which promotes healthy growth and development.
