A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car SeatA two-in-one travel system that incorporates a car seat gives parents the convenience of having an infant car seat and stroller that work together. They can be expensive.These combos make it simple for parents to transport a sleeping baby from the car to the stroller and back again without waking them. This is a great option for families who are constantly in motion.ComfortIf you're looking for a simple method to move your baby from car to stroller without disturbing them an infant car seat, a travel system that includes an infant stroller seat and a stroller car seat might be what you need. These all-in-ones differ from stroller-only models since they typically include an infant car seat as well as the stroller. They can be used for both infants and older children. Many of the car-and-stroller combinations that make our list also have a bassinet attached that can be used as an alternative for a traditional stroller for walks during naptime.While a 2-in-1 travel system that includes a car seat may cost more than separate items, you'll likely save time and money if you buy the two items together. And if you decide later that the car seat and stroller aren't the right fit for your family, a majority of brands offer adaptors that allow you to use your selected car seat alongside a stroller (provided it is tall and weighs the same requirements).One thing to keep in mind when shopping for a travel set is that these sets usually include a car seat for infants and a stroller that is designed to work in tandem, which is designed to be used during the first 12 months. If you plan to keep the seat after this time you should choose a model that includes a convertible car seat that is suitable for toddlers and has a higher maximum weight.Some travel systems have a second seat which can be used to support older children. This is a wonderful feature, but it may not be practical for your particular lifestyle.Take a look at our top picks of strollers and car seats to find an budget-friendly travel system that can last for many years. Our editors' top picks like the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combo come with a variety of features that will aid you and your baby to stay in a comfortable position. These strollers feature a springy all-wheel suspension that smooths the ride, and the PIPA car seat comes with an integrated drape canopy to shield a sleepy child. They also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on vehicles that do not have a base, making it a great option for families that frequently use ride-sharing services or have two cars.ConvenienceThese are great for parents who often run errands or take their babies on public transportation like buses and trains. They allow you to easily move your sleeping newborn from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them up.A few of the top stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed into a double as you grow your family. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, which features an infant car seat and stroller that click into place, instantly transforming them into a sleek chariot two. This is particularly important if the car seat will be the sole vehicle seat for your baby.Other strollers and car seat combination models have more complicated conversion techniques that require you to manually snap the car seat of your infant onto the stroller, or use the straps that are attached to the base to secure it. 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 could cause a safety risk.While a combination of a car seat and stroller is convenient, you must take into consideration whether the stroller and infant car seat will work as long as you need 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 turns one. These car seats do not connect to strollers once they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller models like the Doona, can be used as a car seat for toddlers with an additional seat belt booster once your child outgrows the infant car seat but is too tall to fit in the standard strollers.Car seat/stroller combinations work best for babies through the early years of childhood. Once your child outgrows the infant car seats, you should look into purchasing a stroller that is separate and replacing the travel system with a more spacious model that can be used by toddlers and older children. Keep in mind that you must always make sure your infant car seat is fitted properly and never remove it from your vehicle without taking off the straps first.SafetyCar seat and stroller combos allow you to easily move infants from the vehicle to the stroller and back again without disturbing them or having to wake them up. This is especially helpful when you're running errands or traveling, according to Rothman. For added security, look for a car seat that attaches to the stroller using either an easy click or a rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat is secured during use, and will not fall off or loosen during transit. Car seat and stroller combos that can work without or with a base are also good options for vehicles that ride-share.When purchasing a travel set, be sure to check the weight and age limit for both the stroller and the car seat. These systems include rear-facing infant car seat that are only intended for use during the first 12 months of a child's life. These car seats can be converted to a forward-facing car seat which can either be used in a vehicle, or snapped into the stroller. It's important to read the labels and follow instructions carefully, adds Stanton, especially when it comes down to ensuring your child is in the appropriate weight and height guidelines for both the car seat as well as the stroller.While some parents prefer to purchase separate products and create their own travel system, it's not unusual to see companies sell pre-packaged car seat and stroller combination sets. These sets are typically less expensive than buying them separately. Sets such as UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought-after. The stroller has a smooth ride, a springy suspension with all-wheels and a large storage basket for everything you need for your baby. The car seat is low-profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. It's a simple and simple installation thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat features a headrest that can be adjusted in four positions with four harness heights, as well as a padded insert for your little one's comfort. It's easy to clean and comes with a 1-hand fold, making it convenient to store.StyleWhile it's tempting to buy 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 look into one. 2 in 1 pram pushchair should also choose an option with a fashionable design, which is easy to move around and has many other features to ensure your child's comfort as well as yours.The most effective 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 come with a single-piece infant car seat that snaps easily into a stroller that is compatible and some include the option of a bassinet attachment to allow strolls to nap (safety research shows that babies sleep better in reclined positions).Strollers and infant car seats that integrate with 2-in-1 travel systems are lightweight, durable, and easy to fold and maneuver. Find models with rubber tires with a swivel wheels on the front for streets in cities as well as a large basket for cargo and can hold multiple shopping bags. To make storage easier it is important to know how compact strollers and car seats can be when folded.Certain travel systems allow you to change the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat when your child grows out of it. This gives you an additional two years of use. This is a great option for those who intend to use the seat for a longer period of time or if their partner is a commuter on a bus, train or ride-share.Graco's All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller is a top pick for families who want an all-in-one solution. It's easy to move from the car seat to the stroller and back with the built-in LATCH system that secures the seat swiftly and securely in your car. It's also approved for air travel, so you can get on and off public transportation with confidence. The All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller can also convert into a double stroller, which allows you to take your child to the world. It's also available in a variety of vibrant colors that will match any wardrobe.
