A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A 2-in-1 travel system that incorporates a car seat gives parents the convenience of having a baby car seat and a stroller that work together. They can be costly. These combos allow parents to easily move a child asleep from the car to the stroller and reverse the process, without disturbing them up. This is a great option for families that are constantly on the move. Comfort Travel systems that include an infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from car to stroller simple. Unlike stroller-only combinations, these all-in-ones usually have an infant car seat and stroller that connect, and can be used with toddlers and newborns. Many of the car seats and strollers combos on our list have an attachment for a bassinet which is an alternative to a traditional stroller for walks during naptime. While a 2 in 1 travel system with a car seat might cost more than separate items however, you'll likely save time and money by purchasing them all in one package. If you decide that the stroller and car seat are not right for your family the majority of brands have adaptors that allow you to use the car seat in conjunction with a different stroller. When looking for a travel set, be aware that the majority of them come with an infant car seat and stroller designed to work together. They are designed to be used during 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 is suitable for toddlers and has a greater weight limit. Some travel systems come with a second seat which can be used to boost older children. This is a great feature, but it might not be appropriate for your particular lifestyle. Take a look at our top picks of car seats and strollers If you're looking for an affordable travel system that will last for many years. Tested by our editors, favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combo come with numerous features that will keep your child and you comfortable. They have a springy all-wheel suspension to smooth the ride and the PIPA car seat comes with a built-in drape canopy to shield a sleepy child. They also come with rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on vehicles without a base, making it a perfect option for families who regularly use ride-sharing services or have two cars. Convenience These combos are perfect for parents who run errands or take their babies on public transport such as trains and buses. They let you easily transfer your baby who is sleeping in the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them up. A few of the top stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed to a double as you grow your family. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo which comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place to instantly transform into a sleek chariot for two. This feature is particularly important if you plan to use the car seat as the baby's primary car seat. Other stroller-car-seat combos might have more complicated conversion methods. It is possible to manually attach the car seat to the stroller or attach straps to base to secure it. This method was more difficult to master in our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. It can be dangerous in the event that you lose or forget to secure the straps prior using the travel system. While two in one pram of a stroller and car seat is convenient, you must take into consideration whether the stroller and car seat for your infant will work as long as you need them to. The majority of car seats and strollers use rear-facing only infant car seats that are designed to be used up until your child is 1. These car seats do not connect to strollers once they're no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, such as the Doona is able to be used as a toddler car seat with an additional seat belt booster once your child has outgrown the infant car seat but is too tall for the majority of strollers. Car seat/stroller combinations work best for babies through the early years of childhood. If your child is out of the infant car seat, you can change the travel system to an extra large stroller that can be used by older toddlers and older children. Always ensure that your infant car seat has been fitted correctly. Don't remove it from the car without first untying the straps. Safety The combination of the car seat and stroller allows for easy transfer of infants from the vehicle to a stroller, and vice versa, without disturbing them or waking them up. This is particularly useful when you're running errands or traveling, according to Rothman. To ensure 2 in 1 prams , opt 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 secure while in use and won't fall off or loosen during the course of transport. Combinations of car seats and stroller that can be used in conjunction with or without the base are also an excellent option for ride-share vehicles. When you purchase a travel system be sure to verify the weight and age restrictions for the stroller as well as the car seat. 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. Many of these car seats transition to a forward-facing car seat that is able to remain in the vehicle or be converted into a stroller compatible with it. Stanton insists that you read all labels and instructions particularly when it's time to make sure that your child meets the weight and height requirements of both the car seat and the stroller. While some parents prefer to buy separate items and build their own travel system, it's not uncommon to see companies sell pre-packaged car seat and stroller combination sets. They are usually priced lower than buying the products separately. For instance, UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller that comes with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller features smooth riding with springy suspension on all wheels and a large basket that can be used to store all of your baby's equipment. The car seat is low profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone to provide additional security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to put in. The car seat comes with a headrest that is adjustable in four positions with four harness settings, as well as a padded insert to ensure your child's safety. It is easy to clean and features a 1-hand fold, making it ideal for storage. Style It's tempting to buy a travel system to make it easier to move your baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing them up, but that's not the primary reason to buy one. You should also choose a model with a stylish design, which is simple to use, and that has many other features to ensure your child's comfort and yours. The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one package for an effortless transition from car to street. They usually include a single car seat that can be easily snapped into a stroller compatible with it. Some even include an infant bassinet to sleep in (safety studies have proven that babies sleep better in the reclining position). Strollers and infant car seats made to work with 2 in 1 travel systems are light and durable, making them easy to move, push, and fold. Find models with rubber tires with a swivel wheels on the front for city streets and a large cargo basket and can hold multiple shopping bags. Also, you should consider how compact the car seat and stroller fold to make it easier to store them. Some travel systems let you replace the infant car seat with a toddler seat when your child outgrows it, which gives you an additional 1-2 years of use. This is a great option for those who plan to use the seat for longer than a year or if they have a companion who commutes by train, bus or ride-share. Graco's All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller is a top choice for families that want an all-in-one solution. It's simple to transfer from car seat to stroller, and back, with a built-in rigid LATCH system that secures the seat swiftly and securely in your car. It's also certified for air travel, so you can board and off public transportation with ease. The All-in-One Car Seat & Stroller can be converted into a double stroller so that you can take your child on adventures around the globe. It's also available in a variety of vibrant colors to complement any outfit.
