Car Seat and Stroller Combos The most effective car seat and stroller combos almost feel like they attach themselves. “Look for a base and carrier that can be easily clicked together,” advises Stanton. This will reduce the risk of errors that can happen when assembling and detaching. Doona is one of the options that lets you do this. It seamlessly converts from a car seat into stroller, and lets you free up space in your trunk. Online reviewers note that it is hefty, but they also love its user-friendliness and performance. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to change between car seats and strollers often find a mix of both appealing. It's also a great option for parents who take public transportation or rideshares frequently as well as those who switch caregivers. “These are a single item and the wheels are attached to the car seat, which means they're more easily portable,” says Stanton. Stanton says it is important to ensure that the car seat is secured properly when using the travel system. She suggests that you always follow the manufacturer's instructions and the owner's manual for your vehicle to ensure a secure fit. In our tests, the top stroller-car seat combos feature an easy click-in connection which requires little effort other than moving the stroller from one location to another. These models scored better compared to those with more complex connections due to their lower pressure and provide fewer opportunities to make mistakes, whether they are intentional or accidental. We like, for example, that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment, which does not require straps, and includes a meter on the base of the car seat which indicates whether the seat is level properly. The Doona All-in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller, is also easy to set up and move from car to stroller. It's a seamless conversion that allows you to use the extra space in your trunk for shopping or errands. It also has an adjustable front wheel that provides great maneuverability, even when the seat is mounted. Another alternative is Britax B Lively and B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It has an elongated chassis that is springy and a large fold-down chassis that can be easily stored. It has a spacious basket and plenty of cup holders for drinks, snacks and baby equipment. The padded seat is comfortable for long rides and the tagless smooth-touch fabric is machine washable. It's FAA-approved and includes a safety harness that locks at or below your baby's shoulders and has a SafeCell crumple zone to safeguard them in the event of a crash. A great travel system should also be easy to push, and our top picks all have rubber tires that have a single, swivel front wheel that can be used to navigate busy roads and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo all glide smoothly and have convenient features, including one-hand brakes and a large storage basket. Easy to Store Parents who want their baby to be as comfortable as they can will be better off with a car seat and stroller combination, whether they are running errands or going on a family trip. Car seat and stroller combinations are usually simpler to maneuver than individual pieces, and many models have convenient features that help them stand out from the rest. It's important to remember that the car seat has to be compatible with the stroller in order for them to work together. The manufacturer of the car seat needs to give guidelines on what kinds of strollers work with their product A quick internet search can help find the right stroller. Certain strollers and car seats feature a direct connection that snaps in place without any straps or a complex installation process. This type of quick and easy attachment is a major selling point for families who regularly use public transportation or ride-share vehicles. The Doona, for example, is an FAA-approved infant car seat that can transition into a stroller at the click of one button. 2 in 1 pushchairs is a huge time-saver and allows you to avoid gate-checking a stroller on airplanes (assuming you've also purchased an airline seat for your infant) or to hop in and out of taxis. Other car seat and stroller combinations, such as the Nuna TRVL, allow parents to remove the infant carrier from the stroller's base and easily fold it into a compact size that can be tucked away inside the trunk of a vehicle. This is a great feature for parents who are busy. The stroller itself has a sleek design with premium fabrics, and smart features such as a built-in canopy that drapes over a baby who's sleeping. The best 2 in 1, stroller/car seat combo for your family depends on your lifestyle, plans for growth and your budget. The cheapest models tend to be frame strollers which can accommodate a car seat for a child with little space. More expensive combos will include a toddler seat, a twin stroller or more advanced features. You can be sure that the stroller is compliant with all safety requirements. Easy to carry These combos are ideal for families who wish to avoid the hassle of checking the gate for an infant car seat when flying. They're also great for those who regularly use public transportation and ride-sharing services. These cars seats and strollers are easy to carry and are ideal for parents who want their hands free when traveling with their children. Choose a light and compact 2 in 1 stroller/car seat. These types of strollers are more comfortable to use and can be easier to push on different terrains. In addition, the smaller frame can aid in getting the car seat into and out of a trunk, or the back of a vehicle. Many of the most sought-after and highly rated car seats/strollers combos are compact, lightweight and have wheels that fold to make it easy to store. The Cosco Finale 2-in-1, for example, is a simple seat that converts to an infant booster when the child no more requires an infant carrier. It's reasonably priced, light (12 pounds) and comes with LATCH straps that are easy to use (we did not rate it as the best option for ease of installation). The Doona is a second 2 in 1 car seat/stroller worth to be mentioned. It's an exceptional piece of equipment since it can be converted from a rear-facing infant car seat to a stroller by simply clicking the button. This allows you to skip the step of removing the seat from its base and makes it much easier to navigate stairs or hop into taxis without having to store the car seat. The Doona is a budget-friendly choice, which is especially appealing to parents who are just starting out. It costs less than a year of gym membership, and gives parents peace of mind knowing that their child is safe traveling. Many families choose a two-piece stroller/car seat system when they're deciding on an infant carrier from a certain brand or plan to use it for several children. If this is the case, make sure to read the specifications to ensure that your stroller and car seats will work together. Consider purchasing an adapter to make your desired combination. Easy to Fold Car seat and stroller combos are an excellent choice for parents looking for a single piece of baby equipment that can serve multiple purposes. They can easily be converted from a car to the stroller and reverse. They are also simpler to move around than two piece travel systems. “They're designed to be more naturally mobile,” says Stanton. “ 2in1 pram have a lot fewer moving components, which makes them easier to fold, carry and use.” Additionally, 2in1 pram of strollers and car seats for infants are generally lighter than two-piece options and can be tucked away in small trunks, making them simple to transport. They also come with a larger cargo basket and more practical features like sun shades and cup holders. Some have a swivel wheel on the front that is great for navigating busy streets and stores. Certain brands, like Doona, offer all-in-one infant stroller and car seat. They are especially useful parents who plan to take advantage of rideshares or public transportation, or who change caregivers frequently. This model is basically a rear-facing car seat on wheels, and the wheels drop down to become an infant stroller when you decide to use it. Some brands, like the Evenflo Shyft DualRide allow you to slide the car seat into and then fold it out as a stroller. This model isn't as streamlined as Doona however it allows you to remove the car seat from the frame without needing to insert it into the base. You should also think about whether a particular stroller or infant car seat combination can fit your preferred car seat brand. If it's compatible, you can expect to get a longer life out of the product since it will still work with your child when they are no longer in the infant car seat. It's important to understand that some stroller and car seat combinations don't perform very well in our user-friendliness tests. This could be due to the design of the product that makes it difficult or inconvenient to use stairs, or due to the weight of the stroller and car seat can make it harder to push on different terrains. It's worth reading our review to determine which one is the best one for you.
