Car Seat and Stroller Combos The best car seat stroller combinations are so simple to connect that it's like they're doing it all by themselves. “Look for the base and the carrier that snap together easily,” advises Stanton. This helps reduce the risk of mistakes during installation and removal. One option that can do this is the Doona that effortlessly transforms from car seat to stroller and helps to free up space in the trunk. Reviewers on the internet love the Doona's functionality and user-friendliness, however, they also appreciate its sturdy feel. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to switch between car seats and strollers often will find a combination of both appealing. It's also an ideal choice for those who frequently use rideshares or public transportation and for those who have multiple caregivers. Stanton says that since they're a single piece and the wheels are attached to the car seats, they are more mobile. However, she adds, it's important to ensure that the car seat is securely secured when you use it with a travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and the owner's manual for your vehicle to ensure an appropriate fit she advises. In our tests, we discovered that the best stroller and car seat combos feature a simple, click-in connector that requires no effort other than shifting the car from one to another. These models scored higher compared to those with more complex connections because they require less pressure and have fewer opportunities for mistakes, whether intentional or accidental. We like, for example the fact that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment, which requires no straps, and that it includes a meter on the base of the car seat which indicates that the seat is level properly. The Doona All-in-One Stroller for Infants is also easy to install and transfer from vehicle into stroller. It's a seamless transformation that allows extra trunk space for shopping and errands. It also has a swivel steering wheel in the front, which allows for excellent maneuverability even when the seat attached. Another alternative is the Britax B-Lively & B-Safe Gen2 Travel System that has a springy suspension and a large, one-hand fold chassis that can be easily stored. It comes with a large basket, as well as plenty of cup holders for snacks, drinks, and baby gear. The padded seat is comfortable for long trips and the tagless smooth-touch knit fabric is machine washable. It is FAA-approved, and comes with an safety strap that is secured either below or on your baby's shoulders. It also comes with a SafeCell Crumple Zone that protects the child in case of a crash. A good travel system must also be easy to push. Our top picks have rubber tires and a single swivel wheel on the front to help navigate streets and busy sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro are all easy-gliding and come with useful features such as one-hand braking and an ample storage basket. Easy to store Parents who want their child to be as comfortable as they can will be better off with a car seat stroller combination, regardless of whether they are doing errands during the day or planning a family trip. Stroller-car-seat combos are much easier to maneuver than separate items, and a lot of models are equipped with features that differentiate them from other strollers. It's important to remember that the car seat needs to be compatible with the stroller in order to work together. The manufacturer of the car seat should provide guidelines for what types of strollers can be used with their product A quick internet search can help you find the right stroller. Certain strollers and car seats have an immediate attachment that snaps into position without the need for straps or a complicated installation. This kind of effortless attachment is a big selling point, and it's especially beneficial for families who often use ride-share cars or public transportation. The Doona for instance, is an FAA-approved infant car seat that is able to transform into a stroller at the push of a button. This is a fantastic time-saver and allows you to avoid gate-checking your stroller on planes (assuming you've purchased an airline chair for your child) or to hop in and out of a taxi. Other stroller-car seat combos 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 fits into the trunk. This is a great feature for parents who are busy. The stroller itself also is sleek and stylish, with top quality fabrics as well as smart touches like a built in canopy with a drape that can protect 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 most affordable models will likely be frame strollers that can fit a car seat with minimal extra space, while more expensive combos could include twin strollers, and include more advanced features. Either way, you can rest assured that the stroller and car seat will be up to the highest safety standards. Easy to carry Car seat/stroller combinations are a ideal option for families who want to avoid gate-checking an infant car seat on airlines and are also ideal for those who use rides-shares and public transportation often. These strollers and car seats are easy to carry and maneuver on the go, which makes them ideal for parents who want their hands free when traveling with their little ones. When choosing a stroller that is a 2 in 1 car seat, choose one that is lightweight and compact. These options are more comfortable to use and can be easier to push on different terrains. The smaller frames make it easier to put the car seat into the trunk or the back of a car. A few of the most well-known car seat/stroller combinations are light, compact and feature folding casters that can be stored easily. 2 in 1 prams -in-1 for instance, is a simple seat that converts to a booster once the child no more requires an infant carrier. It's inexpensive, light (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps that are easy to use (we didn't score it as a top pick for ease of installation). Other 2 in 1 stroller car seats include the Doona, which is a standout because it's a single piece equipment that transitions from a rear-facing infant car seat to a stroller in just a few clicks. This means you can skip the process of taking your car seat off its base, and it makes it easier for you to navigate up and out taxis without having your car seat in the. Doonas are a great option for those on a budget, particularly first-time parents. It's less expensive than the cost of a year's gym membership, and it provides new parents with assurance that they're equipped with safe travel gear for their baby. Many families opt for a two-piece car seat/stroller system when they're deciding on a particular type of infant carrier, or have plans to have several children. If this is the case, make sure you read the product specifications to ensure that your car seats and strollers will work in tandem. Consider buying an adapter to match your preferred combination. Easy to Fold Car seat and stroller combos are a great option for parents who want a single piece of baby equipment that can handle multiple functions. They are able to easily convert from a car seat to stroller, and reverse the process. They are also more easy to move around than two piece travel systems. Stanton says that they are designed to be more compact. “They have less moving parts, which makes them easy to fold, use, and transport.” Additionally, these kinds of strollers and car seats for infants are generally lighter than two-piece options and can be tucked away in small trunks, making them easy to transport. They also have an extra cargo basket and more practical features like cup holders and sun shades. Some models have a swivel wheel on the front, which is great for navigating busy streets and shopping centers. Some brands, like Doona, offer all-in-one infant stroller and car seat solutions. These are especially useful for parents who use public transportation or rideshares, or who change caregivers frequently. This model is a rear-facing child car seat that has wheels that can be converted into a stroller. Some brands, like the Evenflo Shyft DualRide allow you to click the car seat into 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 and infant car seat combo will fit your preferred car seat brand. If it is compatible, you are likely to enjoy longer-lasting use from the product because it will work with your child when they get out of the infant car seat. It's also important to be aware that some car seat and stroller combos aren't performing well in our ease-of-use tests. This could be because of the design that makes it difficult to climb stairs or due to the weight and size of the car seat may make it harder to push. In either situation, it's worth checking out our complete reviews to find the most suitable option for you.
