Guide
Do you need a carrycot?
Not always. It depends on how long you want a lie-flat setup, how often you walk, and whether the stroller seat is newborn-approved.
When it helps
A carrycot can make newborn walks simpler, especially if you expect longer outings or want a dedicated bassinet-style attachment.
When you can skip it
If the stroller seat is safe from birth or you plan to use a compatible capsule heavily, paying extra for a carrycot may be unnecessary.
