Car Seat and Stroller Combos The best car stroller and seat combos nearly feel like they attach themselves. Stanton recommends: “Look for a base that is simple to click together with the carrier.” This reduces the chance of mistakes that could occur during the installation process and detachment. Doona is one of the options that can accomplish this. It effortlessly converts from a car seat into stroller, and frees up space in your trunk. Online reviewers note that it feels substantial but they also appreciate its user-friendliness and its functionality. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to switch between strollers and car seats often find a combination of both attractive. It's also an ideal choice for those who frequently use rideshares or public transportation, as well as those who have multiple caregivers. “These are a single item and the wheels are attached to the car seat, which means they're more portable,” says Stanton. Stanton suggests to secure the car seat correctly when using an air travel system. She suggests that you always adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines and the owner's manual for your vehicle for an ideal fit. In our tests, we discovered that the most effective stroller and car seat combinations have a simple click-in connector that requires no effort other than shifting the car from one to another. They scored higher in comparison to those with more complex connections because they require less pressure and have fewer opportunities for errors, whether deliberate or accidental. We like, for example that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment that requires no straps, and also has a gauge on the base of the car seat that shows when the seat is leveled properly. The Doona All-in One Stroller for Infants too, is easy to install and switch from vehicle into stroller. It's a seamless transition that frees up extra trunk space for shopping and errands. It also comes with an swivel front wheel that offers an excellent maneuverability, even when the seat is attached. Another option is Britax B Lively & B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It has an elongated chassis that is springy and an enormous one-hand fold chassis that can be easily stored. It has a big basket and plenty cup holders for snacks, drinks, and baby gear. The padded seat is comfortable for long journeys and the tagless smooth-touch knit 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 includes a SafeCell crumple zone that protects your child in the event of an accident. A good travel system must also be easy to push. Our top picks have rubber tires and a single pivoting wheel in the front 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 come with useful features, such as one-hand braking as well as a large storage basket. Easy to store Car seat stroller combinations are a great choice for parents who wish to keep their child as comfortable as they can whether they're running errands, or heading out for an excursion with the family. Stroller-car seat combos are simpler to move around than separate items, and many models come with convenient features that distinguish them from other strollers. It's important to remember that the car seat must be compatible with the stroller in order for them to work together. The car seat manufacturer should provide guidelines for strollers that can be used with their product. A quick search on the internet will help narrow your options. Some strollers and carseats come with a direct attachment that snaps into place without the need for additional straps or complicated assembly. This kind of effortless attachment is a big selling point, and it's particularly helpful for families who often use ride-share cars or public transport. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat that can be converted into a stroller at the touch of a button. This is a time-saving feature and lets you avoid having your stroller checked at the gate on planes (assuming that you have also purchased an airline chair for your child), or to jump in and out of a taxi. Other stroller and car seat combos, like the Nuna TRVL, permit parents to take the infant carrier from the stroller's base and then fold it up into a compact unit that can be stored in the trunk of a car. This is a fantastic feature for parents who are busy. The stroller itself has a sleek design with premium fabrics, and smart features such as a built-in drape canopy that protects babies who are sleeping. The best 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will be contingent on your preferences, lifestyle, plans for growth, and budget. 2 in 1 prams tend to be frame strollers that can fit a child car seat with little space. More expensive combos will include a toddler seat, a twin strollers, or more advanced features. In any case you can be sure that the stroller and car seat will meet the highest standards of safety. Easy to carry These combos are perfect for families that want to avoid checking the gate of the infant car seat while flying. They are also ideal for those who frequently use public transportation or ride-sharing services. These car seats and strollers are easy to transport and maneuver on the go and are ideal for parents who want their hands free when traveling with their kids. Look for a lightweight and compact 2 in 1 stroller/car seat. These types of strollers tend to move more smoothly, which could make them easier to push across various environments. Furthermore, the smaller frames can aid in getting the car seat in and out of a trunk, or the back of a car. Some of the most popular car seat/stroller combinations are lightweight, compact and feature foldable casters that make it easy to store. For instance the Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is a no-frills seat that can be converted from an rear-facing five-point harness into a booster for children who are no longer in a baby carrier. It's lightweight (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps that are easy to use. The Doona is another 2 in 1 car seat/stroller that's worth mentioning. It's an exceptional piece of equipment because it can be transformed from a rear-facing infant car seat to stroller with the click of a button. This allows you to avoid the step of getting your car seat removed from its base, and also makes it easier for you to climb up and out taxis without having your car seat stored. Doonas are an excellent option for those on a budget, particularly first-time parents. It's less expensive than the cost of one year's gym membership and it gives parents peace of mind that they'll have a safe and secure travel kit for their child. Many families opt for a two-piece car seat/stroller system when they're deciding on an infant carrier of a specific brand or are planning to have multiple children. If this is the case, make sure you read the product specifications to ensure that your stroller and car seats will work in tandem. Also consider purchasing an adapter if necessary to make your desired combination. Easy to Fold The car seat and stroller combination is an excellent choice for parents looking for a single item that can serve multiple functions. They can easily convert from a car seat to stroller, and reverse. They are also simpler to maneuver than two piece travel systems. “They're designed to be more naturally portable,” says Stanton. “They have less moving parts which makes them more compact to fold, use, and transport.” These strollers and car seats for infants are lighter than the two-piece versions and can be easily transported in small trunks. They also come with a larger cargo basket and more practical features like sun shades and cup holders. Some come with a swivel front wheel which is great for navigating busy streets and stores. Some brands, like Doona, offer all-in-one infant stroller and car seat solutions. These can be particularly helpful for parents who plan to take advantage of rideshares and public transportation, or switch between caregivers often. This model is basically an rear-facing car seat with wheels. The wheels drop down to become an infant stroller when you decide to use it. Certain brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide allow you to slide the car seat in and then fold it out as a stroller. This model isn't 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 or infant car seat combo can accommodate your preferred car seat brand. If the stroller and infant car seat are compatible, then you can anticipate a longer-lasting product as it will fit your child after they've outgrown the car seats for infants. However, it's important to be aware that some car seat and stroller combos don't perform well in our tests of ease-of-use. This could be due to the design of the product that makes it difficult or inconvenient to climb stairs, or because the weight of the stroller and car seat makes it more difficult to push across different terrains. It's worth reading our review to find out which option is the best one for you.
