A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A two-in-one travel system with car seat gives parents the convenience of having a baby car seat and stroller that can work together. However they can be costly. These combos allow parents to easily move a sleeping child from the car to the stroller and vice versa, without waking them up. This is a great choice for families who spend a lot of time on the move. Comfort Travel systems with a stroller and infant car seat are a great option to make the transition from the car to stroller a breeze. Contrary to stroller-only systems, all-in-ones typically include an infant car seat and stroller that connect, and are suitable for both newborns and toddlers. Many of the car-and-stroller combinations on our list include a bassinet and can be used as a safe alternative for a traditional stroller for walks during naptime. While a two-in-one travel system with car seat may cost more than separate products but you'll probably save time and money by purchasing the two items together. And if you decide later on that the car seat and stroller aren't the right fit for your family, a majority of manufacturers offer adapters 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 be aware that the majority of these sets include an infant car-seat and stroller designed to work together. These are meant to be used during the first year. If you intend to keep the seat after this point, choose a model that features a convertible car seat that can be used by toddlers and has a higher maximum weight. Some travel systems also feature a second seat that can be used as a booster seat for older kids. This is a nice option, but it may not be suitable for your lifestyle. If you're looking to purchase a travel system that will last 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 combo come with many features that will keep your child and you comfortable. They feature a springy all-wheel suspension to smooth out the ride. The PIPA car seat also features a built in drape canopy that protects children who are snoozing. These seats also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on vehicles without a base. This makes them an ideal choice for families who regularly use ride-share or have two cars. Convenience These combos are perfect for parents who often run errands or take their babies on public transportation like buses and trains. They let you easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing or awakening them. pram pushchair 2 in 1 of the top stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed into a double as you grow your family. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo which comes with an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot for two. This feature is especially important when you intend to use the car seat as your baby's only vehicle seat. Other strollers and car seat combinations have more complicated conversion procedures that require you to manually attach the infant car seat onto the stroller or use straps attached to the base to hold it in place. This method was more difficult to master during our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. It could pose an accident hazard if you misplace or forget to secure the straps prior to using the travel system. A car seat/stroller combo is a great option but you must consider whether the infant car seats and strollers can be used together for as long as you want them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos are rear-facing only infant car seats that are made to be used until your child is 1. These car seats are not attached to a stroller once they are no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, such as the Doona can be used as a car seat for toddlers with a seat belt booster after your child has outgrown the infant car seat but is too tall for the majority of strollers. Car seat/stroller combinations are best for newborns through the early years of childhood. When your child is no longer in the car seats for infants and you are looking at purchasing a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a more spacious model that can handle older children and toddlers. Always ensure that your infant car seat is installed correctly. Don't 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 a car to a stroller and reverse the process without disrupting or waking them. Rothman says this is particularly useful when you are conducting errands or travel. To ensure extra safety, select an automobile seat that connects to a stroller using a rigid LATCH system or click-on 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. Car seat and stroller combinations that work with or without bases are also great alternatives for ride-share vehicles. When shopping for a travel system, be sure to check the age and weight limits of both the car seat and the stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seat that are only designed for use for the first 12 months of a child's life. A lot of these car seats then switch to a forward-facing seat that can be used in the vehicle or can be converted into a stroller compatible with it. It's important to study the labels and follow the instructions carefully, adds Stanton particularly when it comes down to ensuring your child's height and weight are within the appropriate weight and height guidelines for both the car seat as well as the stroller. While some parents prefer to buy separate items to create their own travel system, others prefer to buy pre-packaged car seats and stroller combinations, it is not uncommon to see companies offer these sets. They are usually priced lower than buying the items individually. For instance, UPPAbaby's Vista stroller with the Mesa infant car seat is a sought-after set. The stroller has an easy ride, with a springy suspension on all wheels and a large storage basket to store all the baby's toys. The car seat is slim and comes with a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to set up. The car seat comes with a four-position adjustable headrest, four harness settings and a padded insert to ensure your child's safety. It is easy to clean, and folds with just one hand. Style Although it's tempting to purchase an infant travel system due to the ease of moving your baby from stroller to car and back without having to wake them up, it's not the only reason to consider one. You should also consider one that is elegant, well-balanced, and has a number of other features to make it comfortable for your child and yourself. The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller and car seat base, all in one box for seamless transition from vehicle to street. They usually include an all-in-one car seat that is easily snapped into a stroller compatible with it. Some even include a bassinet for naps (safety studies have proven that babies sleep better in an upright position). Strollers and infant car seats made to work with two in one travel systems are lightweight and robust, making them simple to maneuver, push and fold. Find models with rubber tires, a swivel front wheel for city streets, and a big cargo basket that can fit multiple shopping bags. You also want to check how compact the stroller and car seat can be folded to make it easier to store them. Some travel systems allow you to replace the included infant car seat with a toddler's seat as your child grows out of it, which gives you an extra 1-2 years of use. This is a great option if you're planning to use the car seat for longer than one year, or your partner is frequently using ride-share services or commutes by train or bus. Graco’s All-in One Car Seat and Stroller is an excellent choice for families who are looking for a solution that is all-in one.
