Car Seat and Stroller Combos The most reliable car seat stroller combinations are so simple to connect that it almost feels like they're doing it all by themselves. Stanton suggests: “Look for a base that is simple to click together with the carrier.” This reduces the possibility of mistakes during installation and removal. One option that does this is the Doona, which seamlessly transforms from car seat to stroller and helps to free up space in the trunk. Online reviews have noted that it feels substantial, but they also love its simplicity of use and functionality. Easy to Assemble A car seat and stroller combination is a good option for parents who want to avoid the hassle of switching between the two. It's also an ideal choice for those who regularly use public transportation or rideshares, as well as parents who change caregivers. “These are a single item and the wheels are attached to the car seat, so they're more mobile,” says Stanton. However, she notes, it's important to make sure the car seat is secured properly when you use it with a travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and the owner's manual for your vehicle to ensure an appropriate fit, she says. In our tests, we found that the best stroller-car seat combinations have a simple click-in connection, that requires no effort other than moving the carrier from one location to the next. 2 in 1 pram scored better compared to models with more complicated connections because they require less pressure and have fewer opportunities for mistakes, whether 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 has a gauge on the bottom of the car seat which indicates when the seat is leveled correctly. Similarly, the Doona All-in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller is simple to set up and then transfer from stroller to vehicle. It's a seamless transition that frees up extra trunk space to shop and run errands. It also features an adjustable front wheel that gives you great maneuverability, even when the seat is in place. Another alternative is Britax B Lively and B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It has springy chassis as well as an enormous one-hand fold chassis that can be easily stored. It comes with a large basket and plenty of cup holders to store snacks, drinks and baby gear. Its cushioned seat is comfortable for long journeys and the tagless smooth-touch fabric is machine washable. It's FAA-approved and comes with the safety harness which is secured at or below your baby's shoulders and has a SafeCell crumple zone that protects your child in the event of an accident. A good travel system must also be easy to push. Our top picks have rubber tires and a single, rotating wheel at the front to help navigate busy streets and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro are all easy-gliding and come with useful features such as one hand brake and a large storage basket. Easy to store Parents who want their baby to be as comfortable as they can are better off choosing a car seat and stroller combination, whether they are doing errands during the day or planning an outing with the family. Combinations of car seats and strollers are often simpler to maneuver than individual pieces, and a lot of models are equipped with convenient features that help them distinct from other models. It is important to remember that the car seat and stroller need to be compatible to work together. The car seat manufacturer should provide guidelines for strollers that can be used with their product. A quick online search can help you narrow your choices. Certain strollers and car seats have a direct attachment that snaps into place without the need for straps or a complicated installation. This kind of simple attachment is a major selling point for families who regularly utilize public transportation or ride-share vehicles. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat which can be converted into stroller with the click of a single button. This is a major time-saver and allows you to bypass gate-checking a stroller on airplanes (assuming you've also purchased an airline seat for your child) or to get in and out of taxis. Other stroller and car seat combinations, like the Nuna TRVL, permit parents to remove the infant car seat from the stroller's base and then fold it up into a compact package that fits into the trunk of a vehicle. This is a great feature for busy families and the stroller has a sleek design with high-end fabrics and smart features, like a built-in drape canopy to shield a sleeping baby. Ultimately, the best 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will be contingent on your lifestyle and plans for growth and budget. The most affordable models are likely to be frame strollers that fit a car seat with minimal extra space, while more expensive combos could include a toddler seat or a twin strollers and have more advanced features. In any case you can be sure that the car seat and stroller will be up to the highest standards of safety. Easy to carry These combinations are perfect for families that want to avoid checking the gate of an infant car seat while flying. They are also ideal for people who frequently use public transportation and ride-shares. Car seats and strollers are easy to transport and maneuver around on the go and are ideal for parents who need their hands free while traveling with their children. Look for a lightweight and compact 2 in 1 stroller/car seat. These models tend to move more smoothly, which could make them easier to push in various conditions. Additionally, the smaller frames can help you get the car seat in and out of a trunk or at the back of a vehicle. Some of the most popular and highly rated car seat/stroller combos are compact, lightweight and have wheels that fold for easy storage. For instance, the Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is a no-frills seat that converts from an rear-facing five-point harness into a booster for children who are no longer in a baby carrier. It's light (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps that are easy to use. Other 2 in 1 stroller car seats include the Doona It's an exceptional model because it's a single piece of equipment that can be converted from an infant car seat that faces rearwards to a stroller with just a few clicks. This allows you to avoid the step of getting your car seat removed from its base, and it allows you to navigate stairs or get in and out taxis without having the car seat stored. 2 in 1 pram stroller is a budget-friendly option that is a great choice to parents who are just starting out. It's less expensive than a year of gym membership, and gives parents peace of mind knowing that their child is secure when traveling. Many families choose two-piece stroller/car seat systems in the event that they have decided on a particular type of infant carrier, or have plans to have multiple children. If this is the case, make sure you've read the specifications to ensure that your stroller and car seats are compatible. Also, consider buying an adapter in order to fit your preferred combination. Easy to Fold The stroller and car seat combo is a great choice for parents seeking a single piece that can serve multiple functions. They can easily convert from a car to the stroller and vice versa. They are also easier to move around than two piece travel systems. “They're designed to be more natural-looking and portable,” says Stanton. “They have less moving parts, making them more compact to fold, use, and carry.” These strollers and car seats for infants are also lighter than the two-piece options and can be easily transported in small trunks. They also tend to have an extra cargo basket and more practical features like sun shades and cup holders. Some models have a swivel wheel on the front, which is great for navigating busy streets and stores. Some brands, such as Doona, offer all-in-one infant car seat and stroller solutions. They are especially useful for parents who plan to use rideshares or public transportation, or switch between caregivers often. This model is basically an automobile seat that is rear-facing on wheels, and the wheels can be lowered to become an infant stroller when you decide to use it. Other brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to click in the car seat and fold it up into the form of a stroller. This model is not as sleek as Doona however you can take out the car seat without having to click into the base. You should also consider whether a particular stroller and infant car seat combo can accommodate the car seat you prefer. If it's compatible, then you can expect to get longer-lasting use from the product since it will work with your child when they get out of the infant car seat. It is important to be aware that certain stroller and car seats aren't very effective in our user-friendliness tests. This could be because of a design which makes it difficult to navigate stairs or due to the weight and size of the car seat could make it more difficult to push. It's worth reading our reviews to find out which option is the best one for you.
