These combinations make it easy for parents to transport a sleeping baby from stroller 2in1 to car and back without disturbing them up. This is a great choice for families that spend the majority of their time in the car.

Comfort

Travel systems with a stroller and an infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from the car to stroller a breeze. In contrast to stroller-only combos, these all-in-ones typically have an infant car seat and stroller that connect and can be used with toddlers as well as newborns. A lot of the car-and-stroller combos that make our list also have a bassinet included and can be used as an alternative for a traditional stroller for walks during naptime.

A 2-in-1 travel system that comes with a car seat is more expensive than purchasing the items separately, but you'll save time and money by purchasing them together. And if you decide later that the stroller and car seat aren't right for your family, many brands have adaptors that let you to use your selected car seat alongside a stroller (provided it is tall and weighs the same requirements).

When shopping for a travel set, be aware that the majority of these sets come with an infant car-seat as well as a stroller that are designed to work together. They are designed to be used within the first year. If you are planning to keep the car seat and using it after this time, you should look for an option with an convertible car seat that can be used as a toddler car seat and has a greater weight limit.

Certain travel systems also come with a second seat that can serve as a booster for older kids. While this is a great option but it's not essential and might not be practical depending on your life style.

Some of the best strollers and car seat combinations also allow you to transform them into a double when your family grows. The Thule Urban Glide pushchairs 2 in 1 Combo is an ideal combination of a stroller as well as a infant car seat that can be clicked into position to instantly transform them into chariots that can accommodate two. This feature is crucial if you plan to use the car seat as your baby's sole car seat.

Other stroller and car seat combos have more complex conversion procedures that require you to manually snap the car seat of your infant onto the stroller or use straps that attach to the base to fix it. In our tests this method, it was harder to master than the single-step method of the Doona. If you lose or forget the straps, it can pose a safety hazard.

While a combo of a stroller and car seat is convenient, you must take into consideration whether the stroller and car seat for your infant will work 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 one. These car seats don't snap onto a stroller when they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, such as Doona can be used as toddler car seats that come with the seatbelt booster when your child is no longer in the infant car seat, however, it is too large to fit in most traditional strollers.

The ideal combination is an infant car seat and a stroller for newborns to early childhood. When your child has grown out of the car seat for infants, you can change the travel system to an extra large stroller which can be used for older toddlers and older children. Also, keep in mind that you should always ensure the infant car seat is set up correctly and never take it from your vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

The combination of the car seat and stroller allows you to easily transfer infants from a vehicle to a stroller and in reverse, without disrupting or waking them. Rothman states that this is especially useful when you're running errands and traveling. To ensure your safety, choose an automobile seat that connects to a stroller using an incredibly strong LATCH system or click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat is safe while in use and that it will not come loose or fall off during transport. Combinations of strollers and car seats that can work with or without a base are also good alternatives for ride-share vehicles.

When shopping for a travel system, check the weight and age limits of both the car seat as well as the stroller. Typically, the infant car seats included in these systems are rear-facing and only designed for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. These car seats can be changed to a forward facing car seat that can be used in the vehicle or converted into a stroller. It is important to read the labels and follow the instructions with care, says Stanton, especially when it comes to ensuring your child is in the proper weight and height requirements for both the car seat as well as the stroller.

While some parents prefer to buy separate items and build their own travel system, it's not unusual to see companies sell pre-packaged car seat and stroller set-ups. They're usually cheaper than purchasing the items separately. Sets such as UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought after.

Style

While it's tempting to buy a travel system for the convenience of transferring your baby from car to stroller and back again without waking them up, that's not the only reason to look into one. You should also choose one that's stylish, maneuvers well, and has a number of other features to ensure it's comfortable for your child and yourself.

Strollers and infant car seats that are designed to work with pushchairs 2 in 1 in 1 travel systems are lightweight and sturdy, making them easy to push, maneuver, and fold.
