Car Seat and Stroller Combos The best car stroller and seat combos almost feel like they attach themselves. Stanton suggests: “Look for a base that is simple to click with the carrier.” This reduces the possibility of mistakes during installation and removal. Doona is one option that allows you to accomplish this. It effortlessly converts from a car seat to a stroller, and it lets you free up space in your trunk. Reviewers on the internet love the Doona's features and user-friendliness, but they also praise its robust feel. Easy to Assemble A stroller and car seat combination is a good option for parents who wish to avoid the hassle of switching between the two. This is also a good option for parents who use public transportation or rideshares often and who change caregivers. “These are a single item and the wheels are attached to the car seat, so they're more naturally mobile,” says Stanton. Pushchairs And Prams stresses the need to ensure that the car seat is secured properly when using the travel system. She advises you to follow the manufacturer's directions and the owner's manual for your vehicle to ensure an ideal fit. In our tests, we found that the best stroller-car seat combos have a simple click-in connection, which requires little effort, other than moving the car seat from one location to another. These models scored higher compared to models with more complicated connections due to their lower pressure and have fewer opportunities to make mistakes, whether they are intentional or accidental. We like, for example that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment, which does not require straps, and has an indicator at the bottom of the car seat that shows that the seat is level correctly. The Doona All in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller is simple to set up and transfer from vehicle to stroller. It's a seamless transformation that allows extra trunk space for shopping and errands. It also comes with an adjustable front wheel that offers great maneuverability even when the seat is in place. Another option is Britax B Lively and B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It has an elongated chassis that is springy and a large fold-down chassis that makes it easy to store. It comes with a large storage basket, as well as plenty of cup holders for drinks, snacks and baby equipment. Its padded seat is comfortable for long rides and the tagless, smooth-touch knit fabric is machine washable. It is FAA-approved and comes with a safety strap that can be locked beneath or around the shoulders of your baby. It also has a SafeCell Crumple Zone that protects the child in case of an accident. A great travel system should also be easy to push and use, and our top picks all have rubber tires with one, swivel front wheel for navigating busy streets and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo all glide smoothly and have convenient features, such as one-hand brakes and a large storage basket. Easy to store Car seat stroller combos are a great choice for parents who wish to keep their baby as comfortable as they can, whether they're doing errands or heading out for a family vacation. Stroller-car seat combos are easier to maneuver than separate items, and many models are equipped with features that differentiate them from the competition. It is important to keep in mind that the car seat must be compatible with the stroller in order to work together. The manufacturer of the car seat should give guidelines on which strollers can be used with their product. A quick search online will help narrow your choices. Some strollers and carseats have a direct attachment that snaps into place without the need for additional straps or complicated assembly. This kind of simple attachment is a major benefit for families that frequently utilize public transportation or ride-share vehicles. The Doona is a good example. It is an FAA-approved infant car seat that can transition into a stroller at the push of a button. This is a great time-saver and lets you avoid gate-checking your stroller on planes (assuming that you've also purchased an airline chair for your child), or to jump into and out of taxis. Other stroller-car seat combinations like the Nuna TrVL allow parents to remove the infant car seat from the base of the stroller, and fold it easily into a compact size that can be stored inside the trunk. This is another great feature for busy families, and the stroller itself has a sleek design with high-end fabrics and clever touches such as a built-in drape canopy that can protect a sleepy baby. The ideal 2 in 1, stroller/car seat combination for your family is based on your lifestyle, your plans for growth, and your budget. The cheapest models will likely be frame strollers that can fit a child car seat with a small amount of space. More expensive combos will include a toddler seat, a twin stroller, or more advanced features. Either way you can be sure that the car seat and stroller will be up to the highest standards of safety. Easy to Carry Car seat/stroller combos are a ideal option for families who wish to avoid having to check gate-check an infant car seat when flying and are also ideal for those who use rides-shares and public transportation often. These strollers and cars seats are easy to carry and are ideal for parents who prefer their hands free when traveling with their children. When deciding on a stroller that is a 2 in 1 car seat, choose one that's lightweight and compact. These models have a smoother ride and are more easy to push over different terrains. The smaller frames make it easier to fit the car seat in a trunk or back of a car. Many of the most sought-after car seats/strollers are lightweight compact and foldable casters for easy storage. The Cosco Finale 2-in-1, for instance is a basic seat that converts to a booster once the child no more requires an infant carrier. It's affordable, lightweight (12 pounds), and features LATCH straps that are relatively user-friendly (we did not consider it an ideal choice for ease of installation). The Doona is another 2 in 1 car seat/stroller that's worth noting. It's a unique piece of equipment because it can be converted from a rear facing infant car seat to stroller with the click of the button. This allows you to skip the step of removing the base of the seat and makes it much easier to navigate stairs or hop into and out of taxis without having to put away the car seat. Doonas are an excellent affordable option, especially for new parents. It's less than the cost of an annual gym membership, and it gives parents peace of mind that they have safe travel gear for their infant. Many families opt for a two-piece stroller/car seat system if they're set on an infant carrier from a particular brand or are planning to have more than one child. If this is the case, be sure you read the product specifications to ensure that your car seats and strollers are compatible. Also, consider buying an adapter to accommodate your desired combination. Easy to Fold The stroller and car seat combination is an excellent choice for parents seeking a single piece that can be used for a variety of functions. They can easily convert from a car seat to the stroller and vice versa. They are also simpler to maneuver than two piece travel systems. Stanton says that they are designed to be more portable. “They have a lot less moving parts, which means they're easier to fold, carry and use.” These strollers and car seats for infants are also lighter than the two-piece versions, and they can be easily transported in small trunks. These strollers and infant car seats are generally lighter and feature more convenient features, like cup holders and sun shades. Some have a swivel wheels at the front, which is great for navigating busy streets and shopping centers. Some brands, such as Doona offer a stroller as well as an infant car seats that can be used together. These are especially beneficial for parents who use public transportation or rideshares or change caregivers often. This model is a rear-facing child car seat that has wheels that can be transformed into stroller. Other brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to insert the car seat, and then unfold it into a stroller. The model isn't as sleek as Doona however, you can remove the car seat without needing to click into its base. Check if the stroller and infant seat combination you're considering will work with your preferred brand of car seat. If it's compatible, you can expect to get a longer life out of the product as it will be able to work with your child once they grow out of the infant car seat. It's also important to be aware that some stroller and car seats aren't performing well in our ease-of-use tests. This could be due to an design that makes it difficult or uncomfortable to climb stairs, or because the weight of the car seat and stroller makes it more difficult to push across different terrains. It's worth reading our review to find out which option is the best for you.
