Car Seat and Stroller Combos The most effective car seat stroller combos are so easy to attach that it's almost like they do it themselves. Stanton advises: “Look for a base that is easy to click with the carrier.” This helps reduce the risk of errors during installation and removal. One option that accomplishes this is the Doona that effortlessly transforms from a car seat into a stroller and frees up trunk space. Reviewers on the internet love the Doona's functionality and ease of use, however, they also appreciate its sturdy feel. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to change between car seats and strollers often find a mix of both attractive. This is also a good alternative for parents who utilize rides or public transportation frequently and who change caregivers. Stanton says that since they're a single piece and the wheels are attached, the car seats are more mobile. Stanton stresses the need to secure the car seat properly when using a travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and the manual of your vehicle's owner to ensure that the seat is secure she advises. In our tests, we found that the best stroller-car seat combinations have simple click-in connections, which requires little effort other than moving the stroller from one location to another. They scored higher in comparison to models with more complicated connections because they require less pressure and provide fewer opportunities for mistakes, whether intentional or accidental. We like, for instance, that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment that requires no straps, and also has a gauge on the bottom of the car seat that shows when the seat is leveled properly. The Doona All in-One Stroller for Infants is easy to set up and transfer from car to stroller. It's a seamless transition that frees up extra trunk space for shopping and errands. It also has an swivel front wheel that gives you excellent maneuverability even when the seat is attached. Another option is Britax B Lively and B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It has springy chassis as well as a large one-hand fold chassis for easy storage. It comes with a large storage basket, as well as plenty of cup holders to hold drinks, snacks and baby equipment. The padded seat is ideal for long journeys and the tagless smooth knit fabric is machine washed. It is FAA-approved, and comes with a safety strap that locks below or at your baby's shoulders. It also has a SafeCell Crumple Zone that protects your child in the event of an accident. A great travel system should also be easy to push, and our top picks all have rubber tires that have only a single, swivel rear wheel to navigate busy roads and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo all glide smoothly and have convenient features, including one-hand braking and a spacious storage basket. Easy to Store Parents who want their child to be as comfortable as possible should consider a car seat and stroller combination, whether doing errands during the day or planning a family trip. Car seat and stroller combinations are generally easier to maneuver than separate pieces, and most models are equipped with convenient features that make them distinct from other models. But, it is crucial to keep in mind that the car seat and stroller have to be compatible for use together. The manufacturer of the car seat should give guidelines on which strollers are compatible with their products. A quick online search will help narrow your choices. Certain strollers and car seats have an immediate attachment that snaps into place without the need for additional straps or complicated installation. This kind of simple attachment is a major selling point, and is particularly helpful for families who frequently utilize ride-share vehicles or public transport. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat that can be converted into a stroller at the touch of a single button. This is a time-saving feature and helps you avoid having your stroller checked at the gate on planes (assuming you've purchased an airline chair for your child) or to hop in and out of a taxi. Other stroller-car seat combinations like the Nuna TrVL let parents remove the infant car seat from the stroller base and fold it into a compact unit that fits in the trunk. This is a fantastic feature for parents with a busy schedule. The stroller itself also features a sleek design and premium fabrics, and also smart touches like a built in canopy that drapes over a baby who's snoozing. In the end, the ideal 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will be contingent on your lifestyle, plans for growth, and budget. The most affordable options are likely to be frame strollers that fit a car seat with minimal extra space, while higher-end combos may include a toddler seat or a twin stroller and offer more advanced features. You can be assured that the stroller meets all safety standards. Easy to carry Car seat/stroller combos are excellent option for families that want to avoid gate-checking an infant car seat on flights and are also ideal for those who utilize ride-shares and public transportation frequently. 2in1 pushchair and cars seats are easy to carry, making them perfect for parents who prefer their hands free while traveling with their children. Choose a light and compact 2 in 1 stroller/car seat. These types of strollers roll more smoothly and are easier to push over different terrains. The smaller frames make it easier to fit the car seat into the trunk or the back of the car. Many of the most sought-after car seats/strollers are lightweight, compact and feature foldable casters for easy storage. The Cosco Finale 2-in-1 for example is a basic seat that converts to a booster once the child no more requires an infant carrier. It's inexpensive, light (12 pounds), and features LATCH straps that are simple to use (we did not rate it as an ideal choice 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 a rear-facing infant car seat to a stroller in just a few clicks. This allows you to avoid the process of taking your car seat off its base, and also makes it easier for you to walk up and down stairs or get in taxis without having the car seat stored. The Doona is a budget-friendly option that is particularly appealing for first-time parents. It costs less than a year's gym membership. It also provides parents with peace of mind knowing that their child is secure when traveling. Many families choose a two-piece car seat/stroller system when they're deciding on a particular model of infant carrier or plans to have multiple children. If that's the scenario, be sure to read the product specs to ensure that the stroller you choose and car seat work in conjunction. Consider purchasing an adapter to fit the combination you want. Easy to Fold The car seat and stroller combo is a great choice for parents seeking a single piece that can be used for multiple purposes. They are able to effortlessly switch from a car seat to a stroller and then back to a car seat, and are generally more maneuverable than two-piece travel systems. “They're designed to be more naturally mobile,” says Stanton. “They have a lot fewer moving parts, which means they're easier to fold, carry, and use.” These strollers and car seats for infants are lighter than the two-piece versions and are easily carried in trunks that are small. These strollers and infant car seats are generally lighter and come with more practical features, like sun shades and cup holders. Some have a swivel wheels on the front, which is great for navigating busy streets and stores. Certain brands, such as Doona offer a stroller and infant car seats that can be used together. They are particularly useful for parents who use public transportation or rideshares, or who have to change caregivers frequently. This model is a rear-facing child car seat that has wheels that can be converted into stroller. Other brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to click in the car seat and then fold it up into a stroller. This model is not as sleek as Doona but you can remove the car seat without having to click into the base. Check if the stroller and infant seat combination you're considering fits your preferred car seat. If it's compatible, you are likely to enjoy longer-lasting use from the product because it will still work with your child when they are no longer in the infant car seat. It is important to be aware that certain stroller and car seats do not perform well in our user-friendliness tests. This could be due to the design of the product that makes it difficult or inconvenient to navigate stairs, or because the weight of the car seat and stroller could make it difficult to push across different terrains. In either scenario, you should check out our complete reviews to find the most suitable option for you.
