What Is a 2 in 1 Pram? The Luggage Stroller Explained

A 2 in 1 pram, also called a luggage stroller, is a cabin size suitcase that converts into a certified stroller. Folded, it rolls through the airport and goes in the overhead bin. Unfolded, your child rides on top and your packed things travel underneath.

It replaces two things you would normally carry, a stroller and a carry on bag, with one.


Why We Built One

"We wanted to keep travelling after our kids arrived. The trip that stays with me is Malaysia. The walk from the plane to baggage claim felt endless. Everyone was tired, our son needed carrying, and our hands were already full of bags. We looked for something that would cut down what we had to carry and couldn't find anything that suited us. So we made it." — Tack Lee

We had seen strollers that fold small and suitcases with clever features. What we wanted was for the stroller and the suitcase to be the same object, so a parent travelling with a toddler has a free hand.


How it works

Folded: a hard shell suitcase, 55 x 35.5 x 23 cm (22 x 14 x 9 in), sized to IATA carry on guidelines. It rolls on two wheels, tilted behind you like a standard cabin bag.

Unfolded: a stroller with a 5 point harness, a two position recline and an adjustable canopy. The 18 L compartment stays packed underneath, and you can open it in either mode.

Converting: two hands, three steps, no unpacking. The fold is built to work with the suitcase full.


What It Changes On A Travel Day

  • At security: one item on the belt instead of a stroller plus a bag.
  • Walking to the gate: your child rides while your luggage travels with them.
  • At the plane: fold it and it goes in the overhead bin as your suitcase. If the bins are full, hand it to the crew at the door like any stroller, after taking out what you need.
  • On arrival: no waiting at the jet bridge or baggage claim for a stroller.


How It Differs From Other Options

What it is Replaces your cabin bag?
Travel stroller A compact stroller No
Ride on suitcase A suitcase a child sits on Partly; usually not a certified stroller
2 in 1 pram (luggage stroller) Cabin suitcase plus certified stroller Yes

Parent Reviews and Ratings

"We just travelled Perth to Dallas with Qantas and not only was it accepted, it impressed the staff and crew. We baulked at the price also, but this is a very well put together piece of kit." — Dave K., verified buyer

 

"It is very nice and useful. Two issues: crew can roll it the wrong way and scratch the base, and on one small Asian domestic carrier the weight allowance was tight. Overall the positive outweighs those issues, so it is worth the money." — Len S., verified buyer, after a year of flying with it
