Car Seat and Stroller Combos The most effective car stroller and seat combos almost seem to connect themselves. Stanton advises: “Look for a base that is simple to click together with the carrier.” This minimizes the potential for errors that can happen during the installation process and detachment. One option that can do this is the Doona that effortlessly transforms from a car seat into a stroller and helps to free up space in the trunk. Online reviews have noted that it feels substantial, but they also love its user-friendliness and functionality. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to switch between strollers and car seats often find a mix of both attractive. It is also a good option for those who often use public transportation or rideshares, as well as those who have multiple caregivers. Stanton states that since they're one item and the wheels are connected to the car seats, they are more portable. Stanton says it is important to secure the car seat correctly when using the travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and the manual of your vehicle's owner to ensure an appropriate fit she advises. In our tests, the top stroller-car seat combinations have simple click-in connections, which requires little effort other than moving the car seat from one location to the next. These models scored higher than those with more complicated connections, since they require less pressure and provide less chance of making errors (intentional or accidental). For 2 in 1 pushchair , we love the fact that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo has a simple, drop-in attachment that requires straps and no straps. It also has an indicator on the base of the car seat that shows when it is level. The Doona All-in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller, is also easy to set up and move from the car to the stroller. It's a seamless transition that frees up extra trunk space for shopping and errands. It also comes with an adjustable front wheel that provides excellent maneuverability even when the seat is attached. Another option is Britax B Lively & B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It features springy chassis as well as a large fold-down chassis that can be easily stored. It has a large basket as well as plenty of cup holders for snacks, drinks and baby equipment. Its padded seat is comfortable for long trips and the tagless smooth-touch fabric is machine washable. It's FAA-approved and includes an safety harness that is secured at or below the shoulders of your baby and has a SafeCell crumple zone to safeguard them in the event of an accident. A good travel system will also be easy to push, and our top picks all have rubber tires that have one, swivel front wheel to navigate busy sidewalks and streets. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro are all smooth-gliding and feature convenient features like one-hand brake and a large storage basket. Easy to Store Parents who want their child to be as comfortable as possible are better off choosing a stroller and car seat combination, whether running errands or going on an outing with the family. Stroller and car seat combinations are generally easier to maneuver than separate pieces, and a lot of models are equipped with convenient features that make them stand out from the rest. It is crucial to remember that the car seat has to be compatible with the stroller in order to work together. The manufacturer of the car seat needs to provide guidelines for what types of strollers are compatible with their product and a quick internet search will help narrow down your options. Some strollers and carseats have an immediate attachment that snaps in place without the need for additional straps or a complicated installation. This type of easy attachment is a huge selling point, and is particularly beneficial for families that frequently utilize ride-share vehicles or public transportation. 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 significant time-saver and makes it easy to avoid having a stroller checked on planes (assuming you've also purchased an airline seat for your baby) or to get in and out of taxis. Other car seat and stroller combinations, like the Nuna TRVL, allow parents to remove the infant carrier from the base of the stroller and fold it into a compact unit that can be stored inside the trunk of a car. This is another great feature for busy families, and the stroller itself has a sleek design with premium fabrics and clever touches such as a built-in drape canopy that can protect a sleepy baby. The ideal 2 in 1, stroller/car seat combo for your family is based on your lifestyle, plans for growth, and your budget. The most affordable models tend to be frame strollers that accommodate a car seat for a child with little space. Higher-end combos will include a toddler seat, twin stroller, or more advanced features. You can be certain that the stroller will meet all safety standards. Easy to carry These combinations are perfect for families who want to avoid gate checking an infant car seat when flying. They are also ideal for people who frequently use public transportation and ride-shares. 2 in 1 carrycot and pushchair and strollers are easy to transport and maneuver on the go and are ideal for parents who need their hands off when traveling with their children. Find a light and compact 2 in 1 stroller/car seat. These options have a smoother ride and are easier to push over different terrains. The smaller frames make it easier to put the car seat into a trunk or back of the car. Some of the most popular car seat/stroller combinations are lightweight, compact and feature foldable casters that make it easy to store. The Cosco Finale 2-in-1 for example is a standard seat that can be converted into a booster once the child no longer needs an infant carrier. It's light (12 pounds) and comes with LATCH straps which are relatively simple to use. The Doona is a second 2 in 1 car seat/stroller worth noting. It's an exceptional piece of equipment due to the fact that it can be transformed from a rear facing infant car seat to a stroller by simply clicking the button. This means you can skip the hassle of getting your car seat removed from its base, and it allows you to navigate up and out taxis without having the car seat stored. Doonas are a great affordable option, especially for first-time parents. It's less expensive than the cost of an annual gym membership, and it gives new parents assurance that they have safe travel gear for their child. Many families opt for a two-piece stroller/car seat system in the event that they have decided on a specific model of infant carrier or have plans to have several children. If this is the case, be sure you've read the specifications to ensure that your car seat and stroller will work in tandem. Also, consider buying an adapter if necessary to accommodate your desired combination. Easy to Fold The stroller and car seat combination is a great option for parents looking for a single item that can be used for multiple functions. They are able to easily convert from a car to stroller, and vice versa. They are also easier to maneuver than two-piece travel systems. “They're designed to be more natural-looking and portable,” says Stanton. “They have a lot fewer moving parts, which means they're easier to fold, carry and use.” These car seats and strollers for infants are also lighter than two-piece models and can be easily transported in small trunks. These strollers and infant car seats are generally lighter and come with more practical features, such as sun shades and cup holders. Some have a swivel wheels on the front that is great for navigating busy streets and stores. Certain brands, such as Doona offer a stroller and baby car seat that can be used in conjunction. These are especially useful for parents who take rideshares or public transportation, or who have to change caregivers frequently. This model is a rear-facing child car seat that has wheels that can be transformed into stroller. Other brands, like the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to click on the car seat, and then fold it up into the form of a stroller. This model isn't as streamlined as Doona however it allows you to remove the car seat from the frame without having to click it into the base. Consider whether the stroller and infant seat combination you're considering will work with your preferred brand of car seat. If it is compatible, you are likely to enjoy longer-lasting use from the product because it will be able to work with your child once they are no longer in the infant car seat. It's also important to note that some stroller and car seat combos do not perform well in our tests for ease of use. This could be due to a design that makes it difficult or uncomfortable to climb stairs, or due to the weight of the car seat and stroller could make it difficult to push on different terrains. It's worth reading our reviews to find out which option is the best for you.
