A stroller and car seat combination is a great choice for parents who want to minimize the amount of equipment they have to transport. They typically include an infant car seat and a stroller that can be used for several years, even after your child is out of the car seat. You can also avoid the hassle of buying and installing an adaptor for your car seat. It is important to know that not all car seats and strollers are compatible, so make sure to read the product specs carefully.

If you decide to buy a 2-in-1 stroller and car-seat we suggest that you choose one that is secure between the carrier base and the carrier. These connections need little pressure, which decreases the chance of making mistakes when installing the car seat that comes with straps.

Another feature to consider when choosing a stroller and car seat combo is whether the car seat can be removed from the stroller frame without having to remove it from the car. This makes it easier to transfer your sleepy baby from the car to the stroller, or back again. This can be particularly helpful for parents who are exhausted!

Safety

It's important to have a car seat and stroller that are compatible, but also that your baby is protected. Look for car seats that click easily into the stroller and is confirmed with an audible click when it's attached. Check that the car seat is properly fitted in your car also, by adhering to the guidelines of the manufacturer of your car seat and reading the owner's guide. Dr. Kirkilas advises that the seat should fit snugly but not be too tight. Also, the harness should rest at or beneath the baby's nipple.

Car seats that convert into a stroller are also useful for families who take public transportation or rideshares, according to Stanton because you can transfer your child from the car to the stroller and back again without leaving the vehicle. "They are generally easier to handle," says Stanton, especially for shorter trips or errands. In our tests, strollers that have integrated car seats have higher maneuverability scores than other strollers. A stroller that is light and a compact, foldable car seat makes it easy to carry up and down stairs, sling into a trunk, and fit in small closets.

Some lightweight strollers are difficult to push, especially if they're packed with gear. Make sure you choose a stroller that weighs less than 25 pounds, to lessen the risk of tipping.

Take into consideration the size of your car seats and strollers. The larger models may be difficult to maneuver and need more storage space but they'll offer a smoother ride and have bigger cargo baskets.

If you're planning to buy a car seat and stroller from different brands, make sure you read the specifications of the product carefully to ensure they can be used together.

User-Friendliness

Combinations of car seat and stroller can save parents time, money, and hassle. Combinations are a great alternative to traditional travel systems that require you to move your infant car seat from your vehicle to the stroller. This is especially helpful for parents who are first-time parents and be overwhelmed by all the different steps required to care for a child.

The car-seat/stroller combo is lighter than separate strollers or car seats. This makes it easier to maneuver. Furthermore, a number of models come with quick-attach car seats bases and adapters that require little pressure to secure and release which minimizes the risk for errors (whether intentional or not). In addition, a lot of models have easy-to-read instructions and audible clicks that let you determine if your car seat is secure.

In our tests of car seat/stroller combos, we look for models with higher ease-of-use scores. For example, the Evenflo Shyft DualRide is a one-piece option that folds up into a stroller, and then folds back up to go back into its base. We also love that this model has smooth and consistent riding due to the progressive front- and rear-wheel suspension technology and that its fabric can be washed in the machine.

Other top-rated strollers that have high scores for ease-of-use include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Combo, UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo and the UPPAbaby Minu. These models are more maneuverable wheels and have better brakes, so they are more comfortable to push with fewer frustrations. All of them have adapters and car-seat attachments which allow you to secure an infant car seat in the proper position.

However, it's important to note that most car-seat/stroller combos are not compatible with extended-use car seats or all-in-one convertible car seat. These car seats are designed to be placed in the vehicle, and they do not snap on to a stroller frame. There are a few choices, including the Doona latch base and infant car seat, that can be used in conjunction with a stroller from 6 to 9 month. While the Doona is expensive but it can be a good fit for families that want to use a travel system but don't want to buy a second car seat or stroller until the baby has left the infant car seat.

Budget

While a two-in-one car seat and stroller might appear to be a good money-saving idea, it is crucial to think about the quality of each component. The stroller should have a sturdy, comfortable feel while the car seat should have a sturdy five-point harness. A good combination will also include an enormous canopy that shields your child from direct sunlight and a tray for parents that has double cup holders and a window that can be opened to monitor the baby while you're out.

You're looking for a system that is easy to set up and put in your vehicle. It should then fold up easily and compactly for storage. Lastly, ensure that the stroller is able to be moved and has comfortable handles. It's great if the stroller reclines for naps, or be adjusted in various height positions.

Another aspect to consider is the length of the time your child will spend in the infant car seat. For this reason, we recommend choosing a travel system that includes a car seat that is able to be converted into an infant car seat and then a booster seat once your child reaches a certain age.

Doona infant strollers and car seats are a popular choice. We love that it does not require the attachment process and is an rear-facing car seat with wheels, which makes switching from vehicle to stroller an easy transition for your child. The only downside is that it is a shorter-lasting model (6-9 months) and requires you to buy another stroller once your baby has outgrown the infant car seat.
