Car Seat and Stroller Combos The most effective car stroller and seat combos almost appear to be able to attach themselves. “Look for a base and carrier that can be easily clicked together,” advises Stanton. This reduces the chance of errors that could occur during the installation process and detachment. Doona is one option that can do this. It seamlessly transforms from a car seat to stroller, and makes space in your trunk. Online reviewers love the Doona's functionality and ease of use, but also note its substantial feel. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to change between car seats and strollers often find a mix of both attractive. It also makes sense for those who often take public transportation or rideshares as well as parents who change caregivers. “These are a single piece of equipment and the wheels are connected to the car seat, meaning they're more naturally mobile,” says Stanton. However, she notes that it's essential to make sure the car seat is secured properly when it's used with a travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and your vehicle owner's manual to ensure an appropriate fit she advises. In our tests, we discovered that the most effective stroller and car seat combos feature a simple, click-in connection that requires minimal effort other than shifting the car from one place to the next. They scored better than those with more complex connections, because they require less pressure and have the least chance of making errors (intentional or accidental). We like, for example, that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment that requires no straps, and also has an indicator at the bottom of the car seat that shows that the seat is level properly. Similarly, the Doona All-in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller is simple to set up and transfer from stroller to vehicle. It's an easy conversion that allows you to use the extra space in your trunk for shopping or running errands. It also features a swivel wheel on the front that permits excellent maneuverability even with a seat attached. Another alternative is Britax B Lively and B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It has springy chassis as well as a large fold-down chassis that can be easily stored. It comes with a large basket and plenty of cup holders to store snacks, drinks and baby gear. The padded seat makes it ideal for long journeys and the tagless smooth touch knit fabric is washed in the machine. It is FAA-approved, and comes with a safety strap that locks below or at the shoulders of your baby. It also has a SafeCell Crumple Zone to protect your child in the event of a crash. A great travel system should 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 as well as the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo all glide smoothly and have convenient features, including one-hand brakes and a large storage basket. Easy to Store Car seat stroller combos are a great option for parents who wish to keep their baby as comfortable as they can, whether they're running errands or heading out for an extended family trip. Stroller-car seat combos are easier to move around than separate items, and a number of models come with convenient features that set them apart from the rest. But, it is crucial to remember that the car seat and stroller have to be compatible for use together. The car seat manufacturer should provide guidelines for strollers that are compatible with their product. A quick search on the internet will help narrow your options. Certain strollers and car seats have a direct attachment that snaps in place without the need for additional straps or complicated installation. This type of quick and easy attachment is a major selling point for families that frequently utilize public transportation or ride-share vehicles. The Doona is a good example. It is an FAA-approved infant car seat that can be converted into a stroller with just the click of a button. This is a fantastic time-saver and lets you avoid gate-checking your stroller on planes (assuming that you've also purchased an airline chair for your baby) or to hop in and out of taxis. 2 in 1 pram stroller -car seat combos like the Nuna TrVL allow parents to remove the infant car seat from the stroller base and fold it into a compact size that can be tucked away inside the trunk. This is an excellent feature for busy parents. The stroller itself also has a sleek design with premium fabrics, as well as smart touches such as a built-in drape canopy that protects the baby from snoozing. The ideal 2 in 1, stroller/car seat combination for your family will depend on your lifestyle, plans for growth and your budget. The cheapest models will likely be frame strollers that can fit a car seat with little extra space, whereas more expensive combos could include a toddler seat or twin strollers and have more advanced features. Either way you can be sure that the stroller and car seat will meet the highest standards of safety. Easy to carry Car seat/stroller combos are a great choice for families who are looking to avoid the hassle of gate-checking the infant car seat on flights and are also ideal for people who use ride-shares and public transportation frequently. These cars seats and strollers are easy to transport, making them perfect for parents who want their hands free while traveling with their children. When choosing a 2 in 1 stroller car seat, choose one that's lightweight and compact. These models have a smoother ride and are more easy to push across different terrains. Additionally, the smaller frames can make it easier to get the car seat in and out of a trunk or the rear of a vehicle. A few of the most well-known and highly rated car seat/stroller combinations are light, compact and have wheels that fold to make it easy to store. For example, the Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is a no-frills seat that can be converted from a five-point harness that is rear-facing to a booster for children who are no longer in a baby carrier. It's lightweight (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps which are relatively simple to use. Other 2 in 1 stroller car seats include the Doona, which is a standout because it's a single piece of equipment that can be converted from a rear-facing infant car seat to a stroller with just a few clicks. This allows you to avoid the process of removing your car seat from its base, and also makes it easier for you to walk up and down up taxis without having to have the car seat in the. Doonas are a great affordable option, especially for first-time parents. It's less expensive than a year's gym membership, and provides parents with peace of mind knowing that their child is secure when traveling. Many families choose a two-piece car seat/stroller system if they're set on an infant carrier from a certain brand or have plans for multiple children. If this is the case, make sure you read the product specifications to ensure that your stroller and car seats are compatible. Consider buying an adapter to fit your desired combination. Easy to Fold Car seat and stroller combos are a great option for parents who need one piece of baby equipment that can serve multiple purposes. They can easily convert from a car to stroller, and vice versa. They are also easier to move around than two piece travel systems. Stanton says that they are made to be lighter and more portable. “They contain fewer moving parts, making them easy to fold, use, and transport.” These strollers and car seats for infants are also lighter than two-piece models and can be 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 wheel on the front, which is great for navigating busy sidewalks and stores. Certain brands, like Doona, offer all-in-one infant stroller and car seat. These can be particularly helpful for parents who intend to take advantage of rideshares and public transportation, or who change caregivers frequently. This model is a rear-facing car seat with wheels that can be converted into stroller. Some brands, like the Evenflo Shyft DualRide allow you to slide the car seat in and then unfold it into a stroller. This model is not as sleek as Doona however you can take out the car seat without needing to click into its base. You should also consider whether a particular stroller and infant car seat combination can fit the car seat you prefer. If it's compatible, you can expect to get longer-lasting use from the product as it will continue to work with your child when they grow out of the infant car seat. However, it's important to know that certain stroller and car seats do not perform well in our tests for ease of use. This could be due to a design that makes it difficult or inconvenient to use stairs, or due to the weight of the car seat and stroller could make it difficult to push across different terrains. It is worth reading our reviews to determine which model is the best one for you.
