A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A 2-in-1 travel system with car seat provides parents with the convenience of having a baby car seat and stroller that can work together. They can be costly. These combos make it simple for parents to take a sleepy baby from stroller to car and back again without waking them. This is an excellent option for families who are constantly in motion. Comfort Travel systems that come with a stroller and an infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from the car to stroller a breeze. Contrary to stroller-only systems, all-in-ones typically include an infant car seat and stroller that connect, and are suitable for both newborns and toddlers. 2 in 1 pram stroller of the car seats and strollers combos that make our list have an attachment for a bassinet which is an excellent alternative to a stroller for naptime walks. While a 2-in-1 travel system with a car seat may cost more than separate items but you'll probably save time and money by buying them as a set. If you decide that the stroller and car seat are not right for your family later there are adaptors for most brands to allow you to use the car seat in conjunction with another stroller. One thing to be aware of when you are shopping for a travel system is that these sets typically include a car seat for infants and a stroller that is designed to work together, which is intended to be used in the first 12 months. If you intend on keeping the seat and using it past this point, consider a model with a convertible car seat that can also be used as a toddler's seat and has a heavier weight limit. Some travel systems include a second seat which can be used to boost older children. This is a great feature, but it might not be suitable for your lifestyle. Check out our top choices of car seats and strollers to find an affordable travel system that will last for many years. The UPPAbaby, a favorite of our editors, PIPA stroller and car seat combination have numerous features that will keep your child and you comfortable. These products have springy all-wheel suspension to smooth the ride and the PIPA car seat has an integrated drape canopy to shield a sleepy child. They also have LATCH connectors that can be used on vehicles without a base, making it a perfect option for families who regularly use ride-share services or have two cars. Convenience These combos are ideal 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 baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing them or awakening them. A few of the top strollers and car seat combinations also allow you to transform them into a double as your family grows. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo is an ideal combination of a stroller and infant car seat that can be clicked into position to instantly transform them into chariots that can accommodate two. This is especially important if your car seat will be your baby's primary vehicle seat. Other strollers and car seat combination models have more complicated conversion procedures that require you to manually snap the car seat of your infant onto the stroller or use the straps that attach to the base to secure it. This method was more difficult to master in our testing than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you misplace or forget the straps, it may be a danger to your safety. A car seat/stroller combo is convenient but you must think about whether the strollers and infant car seats can work in the time you need them to. Most car seat/stroller combo products utilize rear-facing infant car seats designed to be used until your child is the age of 1. The car seats can't be attached to a stroller once they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products like the Doona can be used as a car seat for toddlers with an additional seat belt booster once your child has outgrown the car seat that was designed for infants, but is too tall for the standard strollers. Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for infants and toddlers until the early years of childhood. When your child grows out of the car seat for infants, you can replace the travel system by a larger stroller which can be used for older toddlers and older children. Also, keep in mind that you must ensure your infant car seat is fitted correctly and never take it from the vehicle without taking off the straps first. Safety The combination of the car seat and stroller allows for easy transfer of infants from the vehicle to a stroller, and in reverse, without disturbing them or waking them up. Rothman says this is particularly beneficial when you're conducting errands or travel. To ensure your safety, opt for a car seat that attaches to the stroller via a simple click or rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat is safe when it's in use and will not come loose or fall off during transport. Combinations of car seats and stroller that can be used without or with the base are also an excellent option for vehicles that ride-share. When looking for a new travel system, be sure to check the age and weight limits of both the car seat and stroller. Most infant car seats included in these systems are rear-facing and only meant for use in the first 12 months of your child's life. A lot of these car seats then switch to a forward-facing seat that will stay in the car or snap into a stroller that is compatible. Stanton advises parents to follow all instructions and labels particularly when it's time to ensure your child's weight and height requirements for both the car seat and the stroller. While some parents prefer to buy separate items to build their own travel systems, others prefer pre-packaged strollers and car seats It is not unusual to find companies that to sell these sets. These sets are generally less expensive than purchasing them separately. For example, UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller with the Mesa infant car seat is a sought-after set. The stroller has a smooth ride, springy suspension with all-wheels and a large storage basket that can hold everything you need for your baby. The car seat is low-profile and features a SafeCell crumple area for added protection. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to set up. The car seat has an adjustable headrest with four positions and four harness heights as well as padding to ensure your child's comfort. It's easy to clean and has a 1-hand fold, making it convenient for storage. Style It's tempting to purchase a travel system that makes it easier to move your child from the car to the stroller without waking them up, however, that's not the only reason to think about buying one. You should also look for one with a sleek design, that is easy to maneuver and comes with a variety of other features for your child's comfort as well as yours. The best travel systems most efficient include the infant car, stroller and car seat base all in one box to make it easier for you to move from your car to the street. They usually include a one-piece car seat that is easily converted into a stroller that is compatible with it. Some even include an infant bassinet to sleep in (safety studies have shown that babies sleep better when they are in the reclining position). Strollers and infant car seats that are designed to work with two in one travel systems are light and robust, making them simple to push, maneuver and fold. Choose models with rubber tires and a swivel front wheel for city streets, and a spacious cargo basket that can hold several shopping bags. For easy storage it is important to know how compact strollers and car seats fold when folded. Certain travel systems allow you to change the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat when your child has outgrown it. This gives you an additional two years of use. This is a great option when you plan to use the car seat for longer than one year, or if your partner regularly uses ride-sharing services or commutes by bus or train.
