A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat

A pushchair pram 2 in 1-in-1 travel system with car seats gives parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant and a stroller which work in tandem. They can be expensive.

These combos make it simple for parents to transport a sleeping baby from car to stroller and back again without waking them up. This is an excellent option for families who are constantly on the move.

Comfort

If you're looking for a simple method to move your baby from the car to stroller without disturbing them, a travel system with an infant stroller seat and a stroller car seat may be just what you're looking for. These are different from stroller-only combos since they typically include an infant car seat as well as a stroller. They are suitable for infants as well as older children. A lot of the car seat and stroller combinations on our list include bassinet attachments as well, which can be an alternative to a stroller for walks during naptime.

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 purchasing the two items together. If you decide later on that the car seat and stroller aren't right for your family, most manufacturers offer adapters that allow you to use your chosen car seat with another stroller (provided it is tall and weighs the same requirements).

One important thing to remember when shopping for a travel system is that they typically include a car seat for infants and a stroller that is designed to work together, and is meant to be used in the first 12 months. If you plan on keeping the seat after this point, choose a model that features a convertible car seat that can be used for toddlers and has a greater weight limit.

Certain travel systems also come with an additional seat that can be used as a booster for older children. This is a wonderful option, but it may not be appropriate for your needs.

These seats also have LATCH connectors that are rigid and can be used on vehicles without a base. This makes them a great option for families that frequently use ride-sharing or have two cars.

Convenience

Car seat/stroller combos are great for parents who often run the errands of their children or take them out on public transport like trains and buses. They let you easily transfer your baby who is sleeping in the car to the stroller without disturbing or awakening them.

A few of the top stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed into a double as you expand 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 your car seat is the sole vehicle seat for your baby.

Other stroller and car seat combos have more complex conversion methods that may require you to manually snap the car seat of your infant onto the stroller or use the straps that attach to the base to fix it. This method was more difficult to master in our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. It can be an accident hazard in the event that you lose or forget to secure the straps prior using the travel system.

While a car seat/stroller combo is convenient, you must also consider whether the stroller and infant car seat 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 designed to be used until your child turns 1. The car seats can't be attached to strollers once they are no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, like Doona can be used as car seats for toddlers with the seatbelt booster when your child has outgrown the car seat for infants, but it is too big to fit into traditional strollers.

Car seat/stroller combinations are best for babies through early childhood. If your child is out of the infant car seat, you can replace the travel system by an extra large stroller which can be used for older toddlers and older children. Always make sure your infant car seat is properly installed. Don't remove it from the car without first taking off the straps.

Safety

Car seat and stroller combos allow you to easily transfer infants from the car to the stroller, and back without disturbing them or having to wake them up. This is particularly useful when you're running errands or traveling, according to Rothman. To ensure your safety, opt for car seats that can be attached to the stroller with either a simple click or rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain safe while being used and won't fall off or loosen during transit. Combinations of strollers and car seats that can be used with or without bases are also great options for ride-share vehicles.

When shopping for a travel system, check the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat and stroller. Most infant car seats included in these systems are rear-facing and are only intended for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. These car seats can be changed to a forward facing car seat that can be used in the vehicle, or snapped into a stroller. It is important to study the labels and follow the instructions with care, says Stanton particularly when it comes to making sure your child is within the appropriate weight and height limits 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 sell pre-packaged car seat and stroller combination sets. They're usually cheaper than buying the products separately. For instance, UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seat is a sought-after set. The stroller features a smooth ride with springy suspension on all wheels and a large basket to hold all your baby's equipment. The car seat has a low profile and features a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. It has a quick and easy install, thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat features a four-position adjustable headrest, four harness settings and an insert that is cushioned to ensure your child's comfort. It is easy to clean and folds with just one hand.

Style

It's tempting to buy an accessory for travel to make it easier to transfer your baby from the car to the stroller without waking them, but that's not the main reason to buy one. You also want to choose a model that's stylish, easy to maneuver, and has a number of other features that make it comfortable for your child and you.

The travel systems that are the best include an infant car stroller, car seat, and stroller base all in one box to make it easier for you to move from your vehicle to the street. They typically feature a one-piece infant car seat that snaps easily into a compatible stroller and some include a bassinet attachment for strolls during nap time (safety research suggests that babies sleep best in reclined positions).
