A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A 2-in-1 travel system with car seats offers parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant and a stroller which work together. However, they can be expensive. These combos let parents easily transfer a sleepy child from the car to the stroller, and in reverse, without disturbing them. This is a great solution for families that tend to spend the majority of their time on the go. Comfort If you're looking for a simple method to move your baby from the car to stroller without awakening them an infant car seat, a travel system that includes the stroller seat as well as an infant car seat might be the thing you're looking for. Unlike stroller-only combinations, these all-in-ones usually have an infant car seat as well as a stroller that click together, and can be used with toddlers and newborns. A lot of the car-and-stroller combos on our list include a bassinet, which can be used as a safe alternative to a stroller during naptime walks. While a two-in-one travel system with a car seat might cost more than separate items however, you'll likely save time and money by buying the two items together. And if you decide later that the car seat and stroller aren't right for your family, most brands offer adaptors that allow you to use your selected car seat alongside a stroller (provided it is able to meet the weight and height requirements). When shopping for a travel set keep in mind that most of these sets include an infant car-seat as well as a stroller that are designed to work together. They are intended to be used in the first year. If you plan on keeping the car seat and using it beyond this time, you should look for one with an convertible car seat that can be used as a toddler's seat and has a higher weight limit. Some travel systems also have an additional seat that can serve as a booster for older kids. While this is a nice option however, it's not necessary and may not be practical based on your life style. If you're looking for a fantastic travel system that will last for a couple of years, look through our top picks for car seats and strollers. Our editor-tested favorites, such as the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combo, have plenty of features that will ensure that you and your baby stay comfortable. They have a springy all-wheel suspension that smooths the ride, and the PIPA car seat comes with an inbuilt drape canopy that is perfect for protecting a snoozing child. These seats also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on cars that don't have a base. This makes them a great option for families that frequently use ride-share or have two cars. Convenience Car seat/stroller combos are great for parents who regularly run errands or take their baby out on public transport such as buses and trains. They allow you to easily move your baby who is sleeping in the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them. Some of the best strollers and car seat combinations allow you to convert them into a double when your family expands. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo is an amalgamation 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 when you intend to use the car seat for your baby's sole car seat. Other car seat and stroller combinations have more complicated conversion techniques that require you to manually connect the infant car seat onto the stroller or use straps that attach to the base to hold it in place. This method was more difficult to master during our testing than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you lose or forget the straps, it can cause a safety risk. While a combination of a car seat and stroller is convenient, you must be aware of whether the infant car seat and stroller will work together for the time you need them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos use rear-facing only infant car seats that are made to be used until your child is 1. The car seats do not connect to strollers once they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller models, such as the Doona can be used as a car seat for toddlers with an additional seat belt booster once your child has outgrown the infant car seat but is too tall to fit into the standard strollers. The most effective combination is a car seat and stroller for newborns to early childhood. Once your child outgrows the infant car seats it is recommended to consider purchasing a stroller that is separate and replacing the travel system with a more spacious model that can handle toddlers and older children. Always ensure that your infant car seat is fitted correctly. Do not remove it from your car without first taking off the straps. Safety The combination of a car seat and stroller allows you to easily transfer infants from the vehicle to a stroller and in reverse without disturbing or waking them up. This is particularly useful when you're doing errands or traveling, according to Rothman. To ensure extra safety, select an automobile seat that connects to a stroller using a rigid LATCH system or an easy-on system. This will ensure that the car seat is safe when it's used and will not come loose or fall off during transportation. 2 in 1 pram and stroller combinations that work without or with a base are good options for vehicles that ride-share. When you are looking for a travel system, be sure to check the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat and the stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats that are only intended for use during the first 12 months of the life of a child. These car seats can be transformed into a forward-facing car seat which can either be used in the vehicle or converted into a stroller. It is essential to read the labels and follow the instructions with care, says Stanton especially when it comes to ensuring your child is in the proper weight and height requirements for both the car seat and the stroller. While some parents prefer to purchase separate products and create their own travel system, it's not uncommon to see companies offer pre-packaged car seat and stroller combination sets. They are usually priced lower than buying the items individually. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are highly sought-after. The stroller offers an easy ride, with a suspension that is all-wheel and springy and a large storage basket to store all the baby's toys. The car seat is low-profile and features a SafeCell crumple zone for extra protection. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to set up. The car seat has a headrest that can be adjusted in four positions with four harness heights, as well as an insert that is cushioned for your child's comfort. It is easy to clean and folds in one hand. Style It's tempting to buy an accessory for travel to make it easier to move your child from the car to the stroller, without waking them up, however, that's not the only reason to think about buying one. You should also choose a model that's stylish, maneuvers well and comes with a variety of other features to make it comfortable for your child and you. The most effective travel systems comprise an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one box for seamless transition from vehicle to street. They usually come with a single-piece infant car seat that snaps into a compatible stroller and some include the option of a bassinet attachment to allow strolls to nap (safety research shows that babies sleep best when in reclined positions). Strollers and infant cars seats that integrate with 2-in-1 travel systems are lightweight, durable, and easy to maneuver and fold. Choose models with rubber tires and a swivel front wheel for city streets, and a big cargo basket that can hold multiple shopping bags. To make storage easier it is important to know how the strollers and car seats are when folded. Certain travel systems allow you to replace the infant car seat with a toddler car seat when your child is no longer using it. This allows you to enjoy an additional 2 to 3 years of use. This is a great option when you're planning to use the car seat for more than one year, or your partner is frequently using ride-share services or commutes by bus or train. The All-in-1 Car Seat and Stroller is a top choice for families that want an all-in-one solution. The rigid system built into LATCH allows you to easily change from stroller to car seat and back. It is also certified for air travel so you can get on and off public transportation with confidence. The All-in-One Car Seat & Stroller can be transformed into a double stroller, so you can take your child on adventures across the globe. It's also available in a variety of vibrant colors to match any wardrobe.
