A good quality carrycot will have a comfortable mattress that is typically filled with polyurethane for optimal support and comfort. There are also models that have adjustable base levels to accommodate your growing child and ensure the best comfort.
A good quality carrycot should also have handles that can be linked or one handle to make moving more convenient. This is particularly useful if you have different family members using the pushchair as it lets everyone use the stroller in a comfortable manner.

It should also have an hood and sunshade.
You can purchase a pushchair and carrycot separately or in a bundle. Bundles save time and money as they allow you to begin with the carrycot, then change it over to the pushchair seat when your baby is about six months old or can sit up without assistance. The majority of travel systems come with car seat adaptors that allow you to connect the infant car seat and the chassis of the pushchair. This allows you to easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair.
When you are shopping for a carrycot, choose a model that is comfortable with breathable fabrics that will keep your baby cool and comfortable. Some models are even designed with ventilation, sun protection, and a mattress that is soft, so your baby can rest comfortably.

It's also important to know whether the pushchair comes with a reversible seat liner or footmuff which is super-soft and showerproof, and can be attached in the colder weather.
