Car Seat and Stroller Combos The most effective car stroller and seat combos nearly appear to be able to attach themselves. Stanton recommends: “Look for a base that is easy to click with the carrier.” This will reduce the chance of mistakes during installation and removal. Doona is one of the options that can accomplish this. It seamlessly converts from a car seat to stroller, and lets you free up space in your trunk. Online reviewers love the Doona's versatility and ease of use, but also note its substantial feel. Easy to Assemble A car seat and stroller combination is a good option for parents who wish to avoid the hassle of switching between the two. It's also a good option for parents who take rides or public transportation frequently, as well as those that switch caregivers. “These are a single product and the wheels are connected to the car seat, which means they're more easily portable,” says Stanton. Stanton says it is important to secure the car seat correctly when using a travel system. She says to always follow the manufacturer's directions and your vehicle's owner's manual for a secure fit. In our tests, we found that the top stroller and car seat combinations come with a simple click-in connection that requires little effort beyond moving the carrier from one place to the next. They scored better than those with more complicated connections, because they require less pressure and have fewer opportunities for mistakes (intentional or accidental). For instance, 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 tells you when it's level. Similar to the Doona All-in One Infant Car Seat Stroller is easy to set up and move from vehicle to stroller. It's a seamless conversion that allows you to use the extra space in your trunk for shopping or for errands. It also has a swivel steering wheel in the front, which allows for excellent maneuverability even when the seat attached. Another alternative is the Britax & B-Safe Gen2 Travel System, which has springy suspension as well as an enormous, one-hand-folding chassis that can be easily stored. It comes with a large basket as well as plenty of cups to hold snacks, drinks and baby gear. 2 in 1 buggy padded seat is comfortable for long journeys, and the tagless smooth knit fabric can be washed in the machine. 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 to protect them in the event of a crash. A great travel system should also be easy to push and use, and our top picks all have rubber tires with only a single, swivel rear wheel for navigating busy roads 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 braking and an ample storage basket. Easy to store Parents who want their child to be as comfortable as they can should consider a car seat stroller combination, regardless of whether they are running errands or taking an outing with the family. 2 in 1 stroller with car seat -car-seat combos are much easier to move around than separate items, and a number of models come with convenient features that set them apart from the rest. It is crucial to remember that the car seat needs to be compatible with the stroller to work together. The manufacturer of the car seat must provide guidelines on what kinds of strollers can be used with their product, and a quick online search can help you narrow down your options. Some strollers and car seats have a direct connection that snaps into place with no any straps or an intricate installation procedure. This kind of effortless 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 which can be converted to stroller with the click of a button. This is a great time-saver and lets you avoid gate-checking your stroller on planes (assuming that you've also purchased an airline chair for your infant), or to jump 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 package which fits in the trunk. This is a fantastic feature for families with busy schedules and the stroller itself has a sleek profile with top-quality fabrics and clever touches, like a built-in drape canopy that can protect a sleepy baby. Ultimately, the best 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will be contingent on your preferences, lifestyle and growth plans and budget. The cheapest models will likely be frame strollers that fit in a car seat and have little extra space, whereas more expensive combos could include a toddler seat or a twin strollers and have more advanced features. Whatever you choose you can be assured that the stroller and car seat will be up to the highest standards of safety. Easy to carry These combinations are perfect for families who wish to avoid the hassle of checking the gate for an infant car seat when flying. They are also ideal for people who frequently use public transportation or ride-shares. These strollers and cars seats are easy to transport and are perfect for parents who want their hands free while traveling with their children. When deciding on a 2 in 1 stroller car seat, choose one that is light and compact. These models tend to roll more smoothly, which can make them easier to push across different environments. The smaller frames make it easier to put the car seat into the trunk or the back of a car. A few of the most well-known and highly rated car seat/stroller combos are lightweight, compact and come with wheels that fold to make it easy to store. The Cosco Finale 2-in-1 for instance is a standard seat that can convert into a booster once the child no longer requires an infant carrier. It's affordable, lightweight (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps that are relatively simple to use (we did not rate it as an ideal choice for ease of assembly). Other 2 in 1 stroller car seats include the Doona that is unique because it's a single piece equipment that converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a stroller in a few clicks. This lets you avoid the hassle of removing the seat from the base and makes it much easier to navigate stairs or hop in taxis without having to put away the car seat. The Doona is a budget-friendly option, which is especially appealing for parents who are first-time parents. It's cheaper than a year's gym membership, and provides parents with peace of mind knowing their baby is safe when traveling. Many families choose a two-piece stroller/car seat system when they're deciding on an infant carrier of a specific brand or are planning to have several children. If that's the case, be sure to read the product specs to ensure that the stroller you choose and car seat will work in tandem. You may want to consider purchasing an adapter to fit the combination you want. Easy to Fold The stroller and car seat combination is an excellent choice for parents looking for a single item that can be used for multiple purposes. They can easily be converted from a car seat to a stroller, and reverse. They are also more easy to move around than two piece travel systems. “They're designed to be more easily portable,” says Stanton. “They have a lot less moving parts, which makes them easier to fold, carry, and use.” These strollers and car seats for infants are also lighter than two-piece models, and they can be easily transported in small trunks. They also tend to have an extra cargo basket and more convenient features like sun shades and cup holders. Some have a swivel front wheel that is ideal for navigating streets and stores. Some brands, like Doona offer a stroller and infant car seats that can be used together. These are especially useful for parents who use public transportation or rideshares or who change caregivers frequently. This model is basically an automobile seat that is rear-facing on wheels, and the wheels lower to make an infant stroller when you decide to use it. Some brands, like the Evenflo Shyft DualRide allow you to slide the car seat into and then unfold it into a stroller. It's not as sleek as Doona, but it does allow you to remove the car seat from the frame without needing to insert it into the base. It is also important to consider whether a specific stroller and infant car seat combination can be used with your preferred car seat brand. If the stroller and infant car seat are compatible, then you can expect a more durable product that will fit your child after they've outgrown their car seats for infants. It's important to understand that some stroller and car seats aren't very effective in our ease of use tests. This could be because of an design that makes it difficult to navigate stairs or because the weight and size of the car seat could make it difficult to push. In either situation, it's worth checking out our complete reviews to find the most suitable option for you.
