A
2 in 1 travel system that incorporates a car seat offers parents the convenience of having a baby car seat and a stroller that work together. However, they can be expensive.
These combos make it simple for parents to move a sleeping baby from stroller to car and back without disturbing them up. This is an excellent option for families who are always on the move.
Comfort
If you're looking for a simple way to transition your baby from the car to stroller without disturbing them an infant car seat, a travel system that includes the stroller seat as well as an infant car seat could be what you're looking for. These are different from stroller-only models since they typically include an infant car seat and the stroller. They can be used for both infants and older children. A lot of the car seat and stroller combinations on our list have a bassinet attachment as well which is an alternative to a traditional stroller for naps.
While a two-in-one travel system that includes a car seat may cost more than separate products but you'll probably save time and money if you buy them as a set. If you decide that the car seat and stroller aren't suitable for your family later, most brands have adaptors that let you use the car seat with an alternative stroller.
When you are looking for a travel set, be aware that the majority of them come with an infant car-seat as well as a stroller that are designed to work together. They are intended to be used within the first year. If you plan on keeping the seat after this time you should choose a model that features a convertible car seat that is suitable for toddlers and has a higher maximum weight.
Certain travel systems also come with an additional seat that can serve as a booster for older children. This is a nice feature, but it might not be practical for your needs.
If you're looking for a great travel system that will last for a few years, take a look at our top picks for car seats as well as strollers. The UPPAbaby, a favorite of our editors, PIPA stroller and car seat combination have many features that will keep your child and you comfortable. These products feature springy all-wheel-suspension to make the ride more comfortable. The PIPA car seat also has a built-in drape canopy that can protect the baby who is sleeping. They also have LATCH connectors that can be used on vehicles without a base making it a great option for families that frequently use ride-sharing services or have two cars.
Convenience
Car seat/stroller combos are great for parents who often run the errands of their children or take them out on public transportation such as trains and buses. It is easy to move your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without worrying about wake them up.
Some of the best strollers and car seat combinations also allow you to convert them into a double when your family grows. The Thule Urban Glide
pushchair pram 2 in 1 Combo is an ideal combination of a stroller and a baby car seat that can be pushed into place to instantly transform them into chariots that can accommodate two. This feature is crucial in the event that you plan to use the car seat as the baby's sole car seat.
Other car seat and stroller combinations have more complicated conversion techniques that require you to manually attach the car seat of your infant onto the stroller or use straps that are attached to the base to hold it in place. In our tests this method was generally harder to master than the one-step process of the Doona. It can pose dangerous if you misplace or forget to attach the straps before using the travel system.
While a combo of a stroller and car seat is convenient, you must also consider whether the stroller and infant car seat will work together for as long as you require them to. The majority of car seats and strollers utilize rear-facing infant car seats that are made to be used until your child is 1. These car seats are not attached to strollers once they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seats and strollers such as the Doona, can be used as a car seat for toddlers with the seat belt booster when your child is no longer in the car seat that was designed for infants, but is too tall for most traditional strollers.
Car seat/stroller combinations are best for newborns through the early years of childhood. When your child grows out of the car seat for infants, you can change the travel system to a larger stroller that can accommodate older toddlers and older children. Make sure that your infant car seat has been properly installed. Do not remove it from your car without first removing the straps.
Safety
Car seats and strollers allow you to easily move infants from the vehicle to the stroller and back again without disturbing them or having to awake them. This is especially useful when you're doing errands or traveling, according to Rothman. To ensure your safety, opt for a car seat that attaches to the stroller via an easy click or a rigid LATCH system. This will ensure the car seat is safe when it's in use and that it won't come loose or fall off during transport. Combinations of car seats and stroller that can be used with or without the base are also an excellent option for vehicles that ride-share.
When you purchase a travel system, be sure to check the weight and age limits for the stroller as well as the car seat. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats that are only designed for use during the first 12 months of the child's life. Many of these car seats then switch to a forward-facing seat that will stay in the vehicle or can be converted into a stroller compatible with it. Stanton says it's crucial to follow all instructions and labels particularly when it comes time to ensure your child's weight and height requirements for both the car seat as well as the stroller.
While some parents prefer to buy separate items and build their own travel system, it's not unusual to see companies offer pre-packaged car seats and strollers combination sets. These sets are usually cheaper than purchasing them separately. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought after. The stroller offers a smooth ride, springy suspension on all wheels, and a huge storage basket for everything you need for your baby. The car seat is low profile and features a SafeCell crumple zone to provide additional protection. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to set up. The car seat comes with an adjustable headrest with four positions with four harness heights, as well as a padded insert for your child's comfort. It's easy to clean and has one-hand fold, making it ideal to store.
Style
It's tempting to buy a travel system that makes it easier to move your child from the car to the stroller without disturbing them, but that's not the primary reason to think about buying one. You should also choose one with a sleek design, which is simple to use and comes with a variety of other features for your child's comfort and yours.
Travel systems that are the best include an infant car stroller, car seat, and stroller base in one box to help you to transfer from your car to the street. They usually have a one-piece infant car seat that snaps easily into a stroller that is compatible and some include an attachment for a bassinet for naptime strolls (safety research shows that babies sleep best in a reclined position).
Strollers and infant car seats that are designed to work with two in one travel systems are lightweight and durable, making them easy to maneuver, push and fold. Look for models that have rubber tires, a swivel wheel on the front for city streets, a large cargo basket and the capacity to hold several shopping bags. For easy storage make sure to check how small car seats and strollers can be when folded.
Some travel systems allow you to change the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat once your child grows out of it. This gives you an additional
2 in 1 buggy and car seat to 3 years of use. This is a great option when you're planning on using the car seat for more than one year, or if your partner frequently uses ride-sharing services or commutes by bus or train.
Graco's All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller is a top option for families that want an all-in-one solution.
