Do prams with carry cots still have hooks for harnesses?

Pregnant with my first child and looking for a pram/travel system with a carry cot. My mum mentioned finding one with hooks underneath the mattress of the carrycot, where you can connect harnesses to secure the baby. I know the baby is unlikely to fall out, but I'm curious as to what prams on the market have these hooks. Does anybody know of any?

At first I thought it might be an old thing for when my mum was a new parent, but she showed me the carry cot she got for my sister a few years ago and lo and behold the small hoks (more like rings) were there. However, I asked a sales assistant in the nursery department at John Lewis and he had no idea what I was talking about! Would be grateful for any pointers on particular prams.

My Babyzen Yoyo has a harness built into the newborn bit, but not if you get the bassinet option, I think. Is that what you mean? The third picture on their website here.

My Quinny Buzz had these DD is now 13 so they probably don't even make it any more. I always assumed it was incase you had a baby that can sit up well in the bassinet part whereas most people would move them into the chair attachment at that stage nowadays?

I also have the babyzen yoyo and the newborn pack (not the bassinet) has straps. I think it’s more common with stroller type prams although I’ve also seen inserts for pram seats that make it newborn suitable e.g. the Uppababy snug seat can be used on the cruise or vista. You can also get lie flat car seats that can go on the pram frame and are obviously harnessed. Not to say they don’t exist but personally I’ve never seen a proper bassinet with straps though.
