A two-in-one travel system that includes a car seat gives parents the convenience of having a baby car seat and stroller that can work together. They can be expensive.
These combos let parents easily transfer a sleepy child from the car to the stroller, and in reverse, without disturbing them. This is a great solution for families who are always in motion.
Comfort
Travel systems with a stroller and infant car seat are a great option to make the transition from car to stroller easy. These are different from stroller-only models since they typically include an infant car seat as well as a stroller. They are suitable for both newborns and older children. Many of the car-and stroller combinations that make our list also have a bassinet included that can be used as a secure alternative to a stroller for naptime walks.
A
pushchair pram 2 in 1 in 1 travel system that includes a car seat will cost more than buying the two items separately, however you'll save time and money by purchasing them together. If you decide that the car seat and stroller aren't suitable for your family later there are adaptors for most brands that allow you to use the car seat with a different stroller.
When shopping for a travel set keep in mind that most of these sets come with an infant car-seat as well as stroller designed to work together. They are designed to be used during the first year. If you intend to keep the seat after this time you should choose a model that features a convertible car seat that can be used for toddlers and is able to support a higher maximum weight.
Some travel systems come with an additional seat that can be used to boost older children. While this is a nice option but it's not essential and might not be feasible based on your lifestyle.
Take a look at our top picks of car seats and strollers to find an budget-friendly travel system that can last for a long time. Our top choices, which have been tested by our editors like the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combo come with a variety of features that will ensure that you and your baby remain comfortable. These strollers feature springy all-wheel suspension to make the ride more comfortable. The PIPA car seat also features a built-in drape canopy that protects the baby who is sleeping. These seats also come with rigid LATCH connectors which can be used on vehicles without a base. This is a great choice for families that frequently use ride-share 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 allow you to easily move your sleeping newborn from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them up.
Some of the best stroller-car seat combinations can be converted into a double when you grow your family. We like the Thule Urban Glide
pram 2 in 1 uk Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place to instantly transform into a sleek chariot that can accommodate two. This feature is particularly important in the event that you plan to use the car seat as the baby's only car seat.
Other stroller and car seat combinations have more complicated conversion techniques that require you to manually attach the infant car seat onto the stroller, or use the straps that are attached to the base to secure it. This method was more difficult to master in our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you forget or lose the straps, it could cause a safety risk.
A car seat/stroller combination is a good idea, but you should also think about whether the strollers and infant car seats will work together in the time you need them to. The majority of car seats and strollers feature rear-facing infant car seat designed to be used until your child reaches the age of one. The car seats do not connect to strollers once they're no longer needed in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller models, such as the Doona can be used as a toddler car seat with the seat belt booster when your child outgrows the car seat that was designed for infants, but is too tall to fit into the standard strollers.
The best combination is the combination of a stroller and car seat for infants and children in the early years of childhood. When your child has grown out of the infant car seat you can replace the travel system by an extra large stroller that can be used by older children and toddlers. Also, remember that you should always ensure your infant car seat is fitted correctly and never remove it from the vehicle without taking off the straps first.
Safety
The combination of a car seat and stroller allows you to easily transfer infants from a car to a stroller, and reverse the process without disturbing them or waking them up. This is particularly useful when you're running errands or traveling, according to Rothman. To ensure extra security, opt for a car seat that is attached to a stroller using a rigid LATCH system or an easy-on system. This will ensure the car seat is secure while in use and that it won't come loose or fall off during transportation. Car seat and stroller combinations that can work without or with bases are also great options for ride-share vehicles.
When you purchase a travel system, be sure to check the weight and age restrictions for the stroller as well as the car seat. Most infant car seats in these systems are rear-facing and are only intended for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. Many of these seats switch to a forward-facing seat that is able to remain in the vehicle or be converted into a stroller compatible with it. Stanton advises parents to follow all instructions and labels, especially when it's time to make sure your child meets the weight and height requirements of both the car seat and the stroller.
While some parents prefer to purchase separate items and build their own travel system, it's not uncommon to see companies offer pre-packaged car seat and stroller set-ups. These sets are typically less expensive than purchasing them separately. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are highly sought after. The stroller offers smooth riding with suspension that is all-wheel and springy, and a large basket that can be used to store all of your baby's gear. The car seat is low profile and features a SafeCell crumple zone for added protection. It's a simple and simple installation thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat comes with an adjustable headrest with four positions, four harness heights and padding for your child's comfort. It is easy to clean and comes with a one-hand fold, making it ideal for storage.
Style
While it's tempting to purchase a travel system to enjoy the ease of moving your child from car to stroller and back without having to wake them up, that's not the only reason to consider one. You also want to choose one that's elegant, well-balanced and comes with a range of other features that ensure it's comfortable for your child and you.
The most effective travel systems comprise an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base all in one box for a seamless transition from vehicle to street. They usually have a one-piece infant car seat that snaps into a stroller that is compatible and some offer the option of a bassinet attachment to allow strolls during nap time (safety research has shown that babies sleep better in an upright position).
Strollers and infant car seats that work with
pushchairs 2 in 1-in-1 travel systems are lightweight, durable, and easy to fold and move. Look for models with rubber tires and a swivel front wheel for urban streets, and a big cargo basket that can hold several shopping bags. To make storage easier make sure to check how small car seats and strollers can be when folded.
Certain travel systems let you change the included infant car seat with a toddler's seat after your child has outgrown it, giving you an extra 1-2 years of use.
