prams 2 in 1 and Stroller Combos The most effective car stroller and seat combos nearly seem to connect themselves. “Look for an appropriate base and a carrier that click 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 makes room for the trunk. Online reviews praise the Doona's versatility and ease of use, but also note its substantial feel. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to switch between car seats and strollers often find a mix of both attractive. It's also an ideal choice for those who often use rideshares or public transportation as well as parents who change caregivers. Stanton says that since they are a single item and the wheels are attached the car seats are more mobile. Stanton stresses the need to ensure that the car seat is secured properly when using an air travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and your vehicle owner's manual to ensure an appropriate fit, she says. In our tests, we found that the best stroller and car seat combinations come with a simple click-in connection that requires minimal effort beyond moving the carrier from one location to another. These models scored higher compared to models with more complicated connections due to their lower pressure and offer fewer chances for mistakes, whether intentional or accidental. We like, for instance that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment that does not require straps, and has a gauge on the base of the car seat that shows that the seat is level properly. The Doona All in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller is simple to set up and move from car to stroller. It's a seamless conversion that allows you to make use of the extra space in your trunk to go for shopping or errands. It also features an adjustable front wheel that gives you excellent maneuverability, even when the seat is mounted. Another alternative is the Britax & B-Safe Gen2 Travel System with a springy suspension and a large, one-hand-fold chassis that can be easily stored. It has a large basket as well as plenty of cups to hold snacks, drinks and baby gear. The padded seat is comfortable for long rides and the tagless smooth-touch fabric is machine washable. It's FAA-approved and comes with a safety harness that locks at or below the shoulders of your baby and has a SafeCell crumple zone to safeguard your child in the event of an accident. A great travel system should also be simple to push. Our top picks feature rubber tires and a single, pivoting wheel in the front to help navigate busy sidewalks and streets. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo all glide effortlessly and have convenient features, such as one-hand braking as well as a large storage basket. Easy to store Car seat stroller combinations are an excellent choice for parents who want to keep their child as comfortable as they can whether they're running errands or going on a family vacation. Stroller-car seat combos are simpler to maneuver than separate items, and a lot of models have convenient features that differentiate them from other strollers. But, it is crucial to note that the car seat and stroller must be compatible for use together. The car seat manufacturer should provide guidelines on what strollers can be used with their product. A quick online search will help narrow your choices. Some strollers and car seats come with an immediate connection that snaps in place without additional straps or a complicated installation procedure. This type of quick and easy attachment is a major benefit for families who frequently utilize public transportation or ride-share vehicles. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat that can be converted to a stroller at the touch of a single button. This is a huge time saver and allows you to bypass gate-checking a stroller on airplanes (assuming you've also purchased an airline seat for your child) or to hop in and out of taxis. Other stroller-car seat combinations like the Nuna TrVL allow parents to remove the infant car seat from the stroller base, and fold it easily into a compact package which can be stored in the trunk. This is an excellent feature for parents who are busy. The stroller itself also has a sleek design with premium fabrics, and also smart touches like a built in drape canopy that protects a baby who's sleeping. The best 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will be contingent on your personal preferences and plans for growth and budget. The cheapest models are likely to be frame strollers that accommodate a car seat for a child with little extra space. The more expensive models will have a toddler seat, twin stroller, or more advanced features. You can be assured that the stroller is compliant with all safety standards. Easy to carry These combinations are perfect for families who wish to avoid checking the gate of an infant car seat while flying. They're also great for those who regularly take public transport or ride-sharing services. These car seats and strollers are easy to carry and maneuver on the go and are ideal for parents who want their hands off when traveling with their children. When choosing a stroller that is a 2 in 1 car seat, you should look for one that is light and compact. These options roll more smoothly and are easier to push across different terrains. The smaller frames make it easier to put the car seat in a trunk or the back of the car. Many of the most sought-after and highly rated car seats/strollers combos are lightweight, compact and have wheels that fold to make it easy to store. For instance the Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is an easy-to-use seat that can be converted from an rear-facing five-point harness into an infant booster when children are no longer in an infant carrier. It's affordable, lightweight (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps that are relatively user-friendly (we didn't score it as a top pick for its ease of installation). Other 2 in 1 stroller car seats include the Doona, which is an exceptional model because it's a single piece of equipment that converts from a rear-facing infant car seat to a stroller in a few clicks. This allows you to remove the seat from the base and makes it much easier to maneuver stairs or hop into and out of taxis without having to stow the car seat. The Doona is a budget-friendly choice, which is especially appealing to parents who are just starting out. It's cheaper than the cost of one year's gym membership and it gives new parents assurance that they'll have a safe and secure travel kit for their baby. Many families opt for two-piece stroller/car seat systems if they are set on a particular model of infant carrier or plans to have several children. If that's the situation, make sure you review the specifications of the product to ensure that the stroller you choose and car seat will work in conjunction. Also, consider buying an adapter if necessary to accommodate your desired combination. Easy to Fold Car seat and stroller combos are a great choice for parents looking for only one piece of baby equipment that can handle multiple functions. They are able to easily convert from a car to a stroller, and vice versa. They are also easier to maneuver than two-piece travel systems. “They're designed to be more easily mobile,” says Stanton. “They have a lot less moving parts, which means they're easy to fold, transport, and use.” Additionally, these types of strollers and car seats for infants are generally lighter than two-piece ones and fit in smaller trunks, making them simple to carry around. They also have more space for cargo and more convenient features like cup holders and sun shades. Some have a swivel wheels at the front, which can be used to navigate busy sidewalks and stores. Some brands, like Doona provide a stroller and infant car seats that can be used in conjunction. These can be particularly helpful for parents who plan to use rideshares or public transportation, or switch between caregivers often. This model is a rear-facing car seat with wheels that can be transformed into a stroller. Other brands, like the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to insert the car seat and fold it up into the shape of a stroller. The model isn't as sleek as Doona however it allows you to remove the car seat from the frame without needing to insert it into the base. Take into consideration whether the stroller and infant seat combo you're considering will work with your preferred brand of car seat. If it's compatible, then you are likely to enjoy a longer life out of the product as it will still work with your child as they are no longer in the infant car seat. It is important to be aware that certain car seats and stroller combinations don't perform very well in our ease of use tests. This could be due to a design which makes it difficult to walk stairs or due to the weight and size of the car seat can make it more difficult to push. In either situation, it's worth checking out our full reviews to determine the best option for you.
