A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat

A 2-in-1 travel set-up with car seats gives parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant, as well as a stroller that can work in tandem. They can be expensive.

These combos let parents easily move a sleeping child from the car to the stroller, and reverse the process, without disturbing them up. This is a great option for families that spend the majority of their time in the car.

Comfort

Travel systems with a stroller and infant car seat are a great option to make the transition from car to stroller simple. Unlike stroller-only combinations, these all-in-ones usually have an infant car seat as well as a stroller that can be linked, and are suitable for both newborns and toddlers. Many of the car-and stroller combinations that we have listed have a bassinet included and can be used as a secure alternative to a traditional stroller for walks during naptime.

A two-in-one travel system that comes with a car seat will cost more than purchasing the two items separately, however you'll save money and time by purchasing them all at once. If you decide later that the stroller and car seat aren't quite right for your family, most brands have adaptors that let you to use the car seat with another stroller (provided it is tall and weighs the same 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 in the first year. If you intend to keep the car seat after this period make sure you choose a model which includes a convertible car seat that can be used by toddlers and is able to support a higher weight limit.

Some travel systems also have a second seat that can be used as a booster seat for older children. This is a nice feature, but it may not be practical for your needs.

Take a look at our top picks of strollers and car seats if you're looking for an budget-friendly travel system that can last for several years. The UPPAbaby, a favorite of our editors, PIPA stroller and car seat combo come with many features that will keep you and your child in a comfortable position. These products have springy all-wheel suspension that smooths the ride and the PIPA car seat comes with a built-in 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 perfect option for families who regularly utilize ride-sharing services or two cars.

Convenience

These are great for parents who frequently run errands or take their children on public transport such as trains and buses. It is easy to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them.

Some of the best 2 in 1 pram stroller-car seat combinations can be turned to a double as you expand your family. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 car seat and pram Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform into a sleek chariot that can accommodate two. This is especially important if your car seat is your baby's primary vehicle seat.

Other car seat and stroller combination models have more complicated conversion techniques that require you to manually snap the infant car seat onto the stroller or use straps attached to the base to hold it in place. In our tests this method was generally harder to master than the single-step method of the Doona. If you lose or forget the straps, it may cause a safety risk.

A car seat/stroller combo is a good idea, but you should also consider whether the strollers and infant car seats can work in the time you need them to. Most car seat/stroller combo products feature rear-facing infant car seat designed to be used until your child reaches the age of one. These car seats don't snap onto a stroller when they are no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, such as the Doona, can be used as a toddler car seat with the seat belt booster when your child outgrows the car seat for infants but is too tall to fit in the standard strollers.

The ideal combination is an infant car seat and a stroller for babies to early childhood. When your child is no longer in the car seats for infants and you are looking at purchasing a stroller that is separate and replacing the travel system with a more spacious model that can be used by older children and toddlers. Always ensure that your infant car seat has been properly installed. Don't remove it from your car without first removing the straps.

Safety

The combination of a car seat and stroller allows you to easily transfer infants from a vehicle to a stroller, and in reverse, without disturbing them or waking them up. This is especially useful when you're running errands or travelling, says Rothman. To ensure your safety, opt for a car seat that is attached to the stroller via a simple click or rigid LATCH system. This will ensure the car seat is secured when used and will not fall off or fall off in transit. Combinations of car seats pram and stroller 2 in 1 stroller that can be used in conjunction with or without the base are ideal for vehicles that ride-share.

When shopping for a stroller, make sure you know the weight and age limits of both the car seat and the stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seat that are only intended for use during the first 12 months of the life of a child. A majority of these car seats then change to a forward-facing seat that is able to remain in the vehicle or snap into a stroller that is compatible. It is essential to study the labels and follow the instructions carefully, adds Stanton particularly when it comes to ensuring your child is in the proper 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 for companies to offer pre-packaged car seat and stroller combination sets. They're usually cheaper than buying the products separately. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are highly sought-after. The stroller has a smooth ride, springy all-wheel suspension and a large storage basket that can hold all of your baby gear.

The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one box to allow a seamless transition from vehicle to street.

Strollers and infant cars seats that are compatible with 2-in-1 travel systems are light and durable. They are also easy to maneuver and fold. Find models with rubber tires, a swivel wheel on the front for city streets and a large cargo basket and the capacity to hold several shopping bags.
