Car Seat and Stroller Combos The best car stroller and seat combos nearly seem to connect themselves. “Look for a base and carrier that snap together easily,” advises Stanton. This reduces the possibility of mistakes during installation and removal. One option that can do this is the Doona that seamlessly converts from car seat to stroller and frees up trunk space. Online reviewers note that it feels substantial, but they also love its simplicity of use and its functionality. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to switch between car seats and strollers often will find a combination of both attractive. It is also a good option for those who regularly use public transportation or rideshares and for those who switch between caregivers. Stanton says that because they're one item and the wheels are attached, the car seats are more mobile. However, she notes, it's important to make sure the car seat is securely secured when using it with a travel system. She suggests that you always follow the manufacturer's instructions and your vehicle's owner's manual for an ideal fit. In our tests, we found that the top stroller and car seat combos come with a simple click-in connection that requires little effort beyond shifting the carrier from one to another. They scored better than those with more complex connections, as they require less pressure and provide less chance of making mistakes (intentional or accidental). We like, for example the fact that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment that requires no straps, and also has an indicator on the base of the car seat that indicates that the seat is level correctly. Similar to the Doona All-in One Infant Car Seat Stroller is easy to set up and then transfer from stroller to vehicle. It's a seamless conversion that lets you to use the extra space in your trunk to go for shopping or errands. It also has a swivel steering wheel on the front that allows for excellent mobility even with a seat attached. Another alternative is Britax B Lively & B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It has an elongated chassis that is springy and an enormous one-hand fold chassis that makes it easy to store. It comes with a large basket as well as plenty of cup holders to hold drinks, snacks and baby gear. Its padded seat is comfortable for long rides and the tagless smooth-touch knit fabric is machine washable. It's FAA approved and comes with a safety harness that locks at or below your baby's shoulders and has a SafeCell crumple zone that protects them in the event of an accident. A great travel system should also be simple to push. Our top choices have rubber tires and a single swivel wheel on the front to navigate busy streets and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo as well as the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo all glide smoothly and feature useful features, including one-hand braking and a spacious storage basket. Easy to Store Parents who want their child to be as comfortable as possible will be better off with a car seat and stroller combination, regardless of whether they are doing errands during the day or going on a family trip. Stroller-car-seat combos are much easier to move than separate items, and a number of models come with convenient features that distinguish them from the rest. It's important to remember that the car seat needs to be compatible with the stroller in order for them to work. The car seat manufacturer must give guidelines on which strollers are compatible with their products. A quick search online can help you narrow your choices. Certain strollers and car seats have a direct connection that snaps into place without any straps or an intricate installation procedure. This kind of effortless attachment is a huge selling point, and is particularly helpful for families who frequently use ride-share vehicles or public transport. The Doona for instance, is an FAA-approved infant car seat that can transition into a stroller at the push of a button. This is a huge time saver and makes it easy to avoid gate-checking a stroller on airplanes (assuming you've also purchased an airline seat for your infant) or to get in and out of taxis. Other stroller-car seat combinations like the Nuna TrVL let parents remove the infant car seat from the base of the stroller, and fold it easily into a compact unit that can be tucked away inside the trunk. This is a great feature for parents who are busy. The stroller itself is sleek and stylish, with high-end fabrics, and also smart touches like a built-in canopy with a drape that can protect a baby who's sleeping. The best 2 in 1, stroller/car seat combination for your family is based on your lifestyle, your plans for growth and your budget. The cheapest models will likely be frame strollers that fit a child car seat with a small amount of space. More expensive combos will include a toddler seat, twin strollers, or more advanced features. Whatever you choose, you can rest assured that the car seat and stroller will be up to the highest standards of safety. Easy to Carry These combos are ideal for families who want to avoid checking the gate of an infant car seat while flying. They are also ideal for people who frequently take public transport or ride-sharing services. These strollers and car seats are easy to transport, making them perfect for parents who want their hands off when traveling with their children. When deciding on the best 2 in 1 stroller car seat, look for one that is light and compact. These models have a smoother ride and can be easier to push over different terrains. The smaller frames make it easier to put the car seat in the trunk or back of the car. Some of the most popular car seats/strollers are lightweight and compact, and come with foldable casters that make it easy to store. For instance, the Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is a simple seat that converts from a rear-facing five-point harness to a booster for kids who are no longer in an infant carrier. It's reasonably priced, light (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps that are simple to use (we didn't score it as an ideal choice for ease of installation). two in one pram in 1 stroller car seats include the Doona, which is an exceptional model because it's a single piece equipment that converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a stroller with just a few clicks. This allows you to remove the seat from its base and makes it much easier to navigate stairs or hop into taxis without having to put away the car seat. Doonas are a great budget-friendly choice, especially for new parents. It's less than the cost of one year's gym membership and it gives parents assurance that they'll have a safe and secure travel kit for their baby. Many families opt for two-piece car seats/strollers when they're deciding on an infant carrier from a particular brand or have plans for more than one child. If this is the case, be sure to review the specifications of the product to ensure that the stroller you choose and car seat can work in conjunction. You may want to consider purchasing an adapter to fit your preferred combination. Easy to Fold The stroller and car seat combination is a great option for parents who are seeking a single piece that can be used for multiple purposes. They can easily convert from a car to the stroller and reverse the process. They are also more easy to maneuver than two-piece travel systems. “They're designed to be more natural-looking and mobile,” says Stanton. “They have a lot fewer moving parts, which makes them easier to fold, carry, and use.” In addition, 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 come with an extra cargo basket and more practical 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, offer all-in-one infant car seat and stroller solutions. These can be particularly helpful for parents who intend to use rideshares or public transportation, or who shift between caregivers frequently. This model is basically an rear-facing car seat with wheels. The wheels can be lowered to become a stroller when you wish to use it. Other brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to insert the car seat, and then fold it up into the form of a stroller. This model isn't as streamlined as Doona however it does allow you to remove the car seat from the frame without having to click it into the base. You should also consider whether a particular stroller or infant car seat combo will accommodate your preferred car seat brand. If the stroller and infant car seat are compatible, then you can expect a more durable product that will be able to work with your child after they have outgrown the car seats for infants. It's important to understand that some car seats and stroller combinations aren't very effective in our user-friendliness tests. This could be due to an design that makes it difficult to climb stairs or due to the weight and size of the stroller/car seat can make it difficult to push. It's worth reading our reviews to determine which one is best for you.
