The Perfect Start: Pushchair & Infant Car Seat in a Travel System – Everything You Need to Know
You probably know this situation: your baby finally falls asleep in the car – and as soon as you take them out, they wake up. That’s where a pushchair with a matching infant car seat, also known as a travel system, shows its true strength. You simply click the car seat onto the stroller frame without waking your baby. It saves time, reduces stress, and gives you maximum flexibility and safety.
But which travel system is right for you? Which combinations are safe, practical, and future-proof? Here you’ll discover everything you need to know – with real examples from the Kindermaxx range.
What Is a Travel System?
A travel system usually consists of three parts:
- a pushchair,
- an infant car seat, and
- a compatible adapter that connects the two.
With one simple click, you can move your baby from the car to the stroller – ideal for short trips, doctor appointments, or quick errands. Many systems grow with your child: from the car seat to the carrycot and finally the seat unit. One solution for every stage of your baby’s development.
1. Compatibility – Everything Must Fit
The key to a good travel system is compatibility between the pushchair, the car seat, and the adapter. Not every car seat fits every frame, so always check for tested combinations.
Brands like Moon, Joie, Thule, Bugaboo, and Cybex offer perfectly matched systems that deliver both safety and design.
Popular examples at Kindermaxx:
- Cybex Cloud T + Priam – premium design and top-level safety
- Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 Pro + Fame – easy handling and maximum comfort
Adapters & Connections
Many parents wonder: “Will my car seat fit my stroller?” With the right adapter – almost always! Check if the adapter is made by the same brand or officially approved for multiple models. At Kindermaxx, you’ll find a wide range of original adapters to expand your setup flexibly and keep your baby safe wherever you go.
2. Safety – The Heart of Every Decision
Your baby’s car seat is one of the most important safety products you’ll ever buy. Make sure it meets the latest i-Size (UN R129) standard.
Important safety features:
- Isofix base for secure installation
- Side-impact protection
- Adjustable headrest
- Breathable, toxin-free fabrics
The Cybex Cloud T is a highlight – it can lie completely flat outside the car, perfect for longer walks or naps.
3. Everyday Use – When Every Second Counts
In daily life, things need to be quick and easy. A lightweight frame with a one-hand fold, large shopping basket, and quality wheels make a big difference.

4. Value & Long-Term Benefits
A travel system may seem like a bigger investment at first, but it saves you money and effort in the long run. One system covers all stages – from newborn to toddler. You’ll often find 3-in-1 bundles with price advantages at Kindermaxx – including pushchair, car seat, and adapters.
5. Comfort – For You and Your Baby
Comfort matters. An adjustable handlebar, good suspension, and ergonomic seating make walks so much easier. Your baby benefits from soft padding, breathable fabrics, and UV protection. Brands like Moon stand for smooth suspension, while Thule appeals to active parents.
6. Design & Style – Because Looks Matter Too
