Car Seat and Stroller Combos The most effective car seat stroller combinations are so easy to attach that it almost feels like they're doing it all by themselves. “Look for an appropriate base and a carrier that click together easily,” advises Stanton. This will reduce the risk of mistakes that could occur during installation and detachment. One option that does this is the Doona that seamlessly converts from a car seat into a stroller and helps to free up space in the trunk. Reviewers on the internet love the Doona's functionality and ease of use, but they also praise its robust feel. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to change between car seats and strollers often find a combination of both attractive. This is also a good option for parents who use public transportation or rideshares often as well as those that switch caregivers. Stanton says that since they're one item and the wheels are attached, the car seats are more easily portable. Stanton stresses the need to secure the car seat correctly when using a travel system. She suggests that you always follow the manufacturer's instructions and the owner's manual for your vehicle for a secure fit. In our tests, we found that the top stroller and car seat combos feature a simple, click-in connection that requires little effort other than shifting the car from one location to another. These models scored higher than those with more complicated connections, because they require less pressure and provide fewer opportunities for mistakes (intentional or accidental). We like, for example the fact that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in accessory that does not require straps, and that it has a gauge on the bottom of the car seat that shows that the seat is level correctly. Similar to the Doona All-in One Infant Car Seat Stroller is simple to set up and then transfer from car to stroller. It's an easy conversion that allows you to make use of the extra space in your trunk for shopping or running errands. It also has a swivel wheel on the front that permits excellent maneuverability even when the seat attached. Another alternative is the Britax and B-Safe Gen2 Travel Systems with a springy suspension and an enormous, one-hand-folding chassis for easy storage. It has a large basket and plenty cup holders for snacks, drinks and baby gear. The padded seat is ideal for long journeys and the tagless smooth touch knit fabric is machine washed. It is FAA-approved, and comes with a safety strap that locks either below or on the shoulders of your baby. It also comes with a SafeCell Crumple Zone to safeguard the child in case of a crash. A great travel system should also be easy to push. Our top choices have rubber tires and a single pivoting wheel in the front for navigating busy sidewalks and streets. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo as well as the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo all glide effortlessly and have convenient features, like one-hand brakes and a large storage basket. Easy to Store Car seat stroller combinations are a great option for parents who want to keep their baby as comfortable as they can whether they're doing errands or going on a family vacation. Stroller-car seat combos are easier to maneuver than separate items, and a number of models have convenient features that differentiate them from the rest. It is crucial to remember that the car seat needs to be compatible with the stroller for them to work together. The manufacturer of the car seat must provide guidelines for what types of strollers can be used with their product A quick internet search can help narrow down your options. Certain strollers and car seats have a direct connection that snaps in place without any straps or a complex installation process. This kind of simple attachment is a major benefit for families who frequently use public transportation or ride-share vehicles. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat which can be converted to a stroller at the touch of a single button. This is a significant time saver and makes it easy to avoid gate-checking a stroller on airplanes (assuming you've also purchased an airline seat for your child) 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 fold it into a compact unit that can be tucked away into the trunk of a car. This is a fantastic feature for families with busy schedules and the stroller has a sleek design with premium fabrics and smart touches such as a built-in drape canopy that can protect a sleepy baby. The best 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will depend on your preferences, lifestyle and plans for growth and budget. The most affordable options will likely be frame strollers that accommodate a car seat with the smallest amount of space. On the other hand, higher-end combos may include twin strollers, and include more advanced features. You can be sure that the stroller meets all safety requirements. Easy to Carry Car seat/stroller combinations are a great choice for families who want to avoid gate-checking the infant car seat on airlines, and they're also perfect for those who use public transportation and ride-shares frequently. Car seats and strollers are easy to transport and maneuver around on the go and are perfect for parents who require their hands free while traveling with their kids. When you're deciding on a stroller that is a 2 in 1 car seat, choose one that's lightweight and compact. These models have a smoother ride and are easier to push across different terrains. The smaller frames make it easier to fit the car seat into a trunk or back of a car. Some of the most popular car seat/stroller combinations are lightweight compact and foldable casters that make it easy to store. The Cosco Finale 2-in-1 for instance is a basic seat that can convert into a booster once the child no more requires an infant carrier. It's reasonably priced, light (12 pounds), and features LATCH straps that are user-friendly (we did not consider it a top pick for ease of installation). Other 2 in 1 stroller car seats include the Doona It's an exceptional model because it's a single piece equipment that transitions from an infant car seat that faces rearwards to a stroller in a few clicks. 2 in 1 buggy pushchairsandprams allows you to avoid the step of taking your car seat off its base. It also makes it easier for you to navigate the stairs or get into and out taxis without having to have the car seat in the. The Doona is a budget-friendly option that is a great choice for parents who are first-time parents. It's cheaper than the cost of one year's gym membership and it gives new parents peace of mind that they'll have a safe and secure travel kit for their baby. Many families choose a two-piece car seat/stroller system if they're set on an infant carrier from a certain brand or plan to use it for more than one child. If that's your scenario, be sure to go over the specifications of the product to ensure that the stroller you choose and car seat can work in tandem. Consider purchasing an adapter if necessary to accommodate your desired combination. Easy to Fold The car seat and stroller combination is a great option for parents who are seeking a single piece that can be used for a variety of functions. They can easily transition from being a car seat to a stroller and back again, and they're generally easier to maneuver than two-piece travel systems. Stanton says that they are designed to be more portable. “They contain a lot fewer moving parts, which makes them easy to fold, transport and use.” Additionally, these types of strollers and car seats for infants are generally lighter than two-piece options and can fit into small trunks, making them easy to carry around. They also have a larger cargo basket and more convenient features like sun shades and cup holders. Some even have a swivel front wheel that's great for navigating crowded streets and stores. Some brands, such as Doona provide an all-in-one baby stroller and car seat. They are especially useful parents who plan to take advantage of rideshares or public transportation, or change caregivers frequently. This model is essentially an rear-facing car seat with wheels, and the wheels drop down to become a stroller when you want to use it. Certain brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide allow you to click the car seat in and then unfold it into a stroller. The model isn't as sleek as Doona but you can remove the car seat without needing to click into the base. Consider whether the stroller and infant car seat combination you're considering will work with your preferred car seat. If the stroller and infant car seat are compatible, you can anticipate a longer-lasting product since it will fit your child after they've outgrown their car seats for infants. However, it's important to know that certain stroller and car seat combos aren't performing well in our ease-of-use tests. This could be due to an design that creates difficulty or isn't convenient to use stairs, or due to the weight of the car seat and stroller could make it difficult to push on different terrains.
