Easy to Assemble
The best stroller-car seat combos are simple to put together and then attach to your car and then remove from the stroller. A good guideline is to set 5 minutes or less to get everything ready to go, Moriarty says. A simple, intuitive method helps you avoid mistakes which could put your baby at risk.
Graco City Select
2 in 1 pram set Car Seat and Stroller Travel Systems stood out in our tests for ease of assembly. The entire process took less than 30 seconds. We connected the infant car seat and toddler seats, that were then affixed to the base with one click. Then, we connected the lower and upper adapters to create space for another seat (sold separately) or bassinet. This allows you to create a stroller that expands with your family. It offers over 22 different configurations for the seat available and can carry up to 45 lbs for each seat.
UPPAbaby’s Vista v2 Combo impressed us too, with its springy all-wheel-suspension that can handle even rough roads. However, the combination is a bit pricey--but it does come with a car seat, bassinet, and weather shield to keep your little one at ease.
We also noticed how it was simple for us to maneuver the stroller. The City Mini GT Combo by Baby Jogger has a single wheel on the front that is ideal for turning corners or going down narrow aisles. The Thule Urban Glide
2 in 1 infant car seat and stroller, BOB Alterrain Pro and Baby Jogger City Mini GT Combo come with swivel tires that can handle tight turns. These wheels were simple to push, even with a car seat on top. We also loved how the frame folds down quickly and compactly.
The Doon was the most simple to use. Its simple one-hand fold ("awesome that it can be accomplished with the baby on your hip!" says an editor) and small size makes it a fantastic space saver. It's also easy to disconnect the car seat from its base by pressing a button and a release. The only issue with the Doon is that it requires straps to be secured. Some parents may forget to use straps, but that's an inconvenience.
Easy to Fold
A 2-in-1 car seat and stroller can make your life easier by streamlining your daily routine. If you are a frequent user of public transportation or ride share vehicles, it's especially helpful to be able to transfer your child from stroller to car without hassle. "Look for an item that can be easily removed from the base, and attaches and detaches to the frame of the stroller using the use of one hand," Moriarty advises. The Doona Combo car seat and stroller combo is a great example of a product that meets these criteria.
The unique design of this stroller makes it easy to transform from a newborn carrier to a toddler seat, allowing you to swap out the car seat to suit your growing child's needs. It is also designed to be compact and folds flat making it a great choice for travelers. It maneuvered well during our tests and the suspension is excellent. We love that it can be stowed away with the seat still attached and that the handlebar is adjustable.
The Doona isn't suitable for babies younger than 4 months since it can be taken off by one hand only and attached to the stroller. It's also difficult to fold when the infant carrier is on. The Nuna Pipa is an ideal choice for babies because it doesn't need an infant carrier base and can be used with a rigid LATCH connector built right into the car seat.
It's more expensive than the Doona but offers other features that make it worth the cost. The Pipa is lightweight and folds flat to be carried easily. It's also more spacious than the Doona, and can even hold a medium-size backpack. The canopy is also impressive, with multiple options for adjusting the amount of coverage and allowing shade. It's also a good option for travel internationally, since it can be put in the car without the base and is certified for air travel. The only drawback is that it's not able to fit into the overhead bins of many aircrafts.
