While a combo of a stroller and car seat is convenient, you should be aware of whether the stroller and car seat for your infant can work together for as long as you require them to. The majority of car seats and strollers are 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 seats and strollers such as the Doona, can be used as a toddler car seat with an additional seat belt booster once your child has outgrown the car seat for infants but is too tall to fit in the standard strollers.

Car seat/stroller combinations work best for newborns through early childhood. When your child has grown out of the car seat for infants, you can replace the travel system by a larger stroller that can be used by older toddlers and older children. Also, remember that you must always make sure the infant car seat is set up correctly and never take it from your vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

Car seats and strollers make it easy to transfer infants from the car to the stroller, and back without disturbing them or having to awake them. This is especially useful when you're doing errands or travelling, says Rothman. For added security, look for a car seat that is attached to the stroller via the simple click or the rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat is secured during use and won't fall off or come loose in transportation. Car seat and stroller combinations that work with or without bases are also great options for ride-share vehicles.

When you are looking for a stroller, make sure you know the weight and age limits of both the car seat and the stroller.

These car seats can be changed into a forward-facing car seat that can be used in the car or converted into the stroller. It is essential to be aware of the labels and follow instructions carefully, adds Stanton especially when it comes down to ensuring your child is in the proper weight and height limits for both the car seat and the stroller.
