📊 Compatibility Table

📝 Travel System Tips

• Use only manufacturer-approved adapters — they guarantee proper safety fit.

• Choose rear-facing infant seats; boosters or convertible seats aren’t stroller-compatible.

• Verify model-year compatibility, as prams and seats evolve annually.

• Book a hands-on fitting at In‑Car Safety Centre (Belfast, Milton Keynes, Essex) for peace of mind.

We’ve covered the major UK pram brands most parents choose. If your pram isn’t listed here, it’s likely still compatible via universal adapters, or your stroller’s manufacturer provides its own compatibility guide. Feel free to get in touch, and we’ll check your setup.
