Features

A car seat and a stroller combo is a good option for parents looking to minimize the amount they have to carry. They typically consist of an infant car seat and a stroller that can be used for many years even after your child outgrows the car seat. This also means that you do not have to bother buying and installing a new car seat adaptor. It is important to note that not every stroller and car seat is compatible. Be sure to read the specifications of the product.

If you choose to purchase a 2 in 1 travel system in 1 stroller and car seat, we recommend opting for one that has an essential click-in connection between the base of the stroller and the base. These connections require only a little pressure, which decreases the chance of errors when installing the car seat that comes with straps.

Another aspect to consider when choosing a stroller and car seat combo is whether the car seat can be removed from the frame of the stroller without removing it from the vehicle. This makes it easier for you to transfer a sleepy baby to or from the stroller. This is especially helpful for parents who are exhausted!

It's ideal for travel on buses, planes or train, or for running errands. It has a low-center of gravity, and it clicks when attached to the base.

Safety

It's essential to have a car seat and stroller that work well together, but also that your baby is secure. You want a car seat which clicks into the stroller with ease and has an audible click to verify that it's securely attached. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines and read the owner's manual to ensure that your car seat is properly installed. Dr. Kirkilas suggests that the seat should fit snugly but not too tight and that the harness should be placed just below the nipple of your baby's.

Stanton says that car seats that convert into strollers are ideal for families who use public transportation or rideshares. You can move your child from the car to the stroller without leaving the vehicle. "They're typically easier to maneuver, especially for shorter trips and errands" she says. In our tests strollers with integrated car seats scored higher than other types. A stroller that is light and with an easy-folding car seat is easy to carry up and down stairs, or sling in a trunk, and fit into closets with small spaces.

Some lightweight strollers are hard to push, especially if they're packed with equipment. Choose a stroller that weighs less than 25 pounds to reduce the risk of tipping.

Take into consideration the size of your car seats and strollers. The larger models can be difficult to navigate and require more space for storage, but you'll get a smoother ride with more suspension and a bigger cargo basket.

If you plan to buy a stroller and car seat from different brands, make sure you review the specifications to ensure they can be used in conjunction. You may save money over the long term by purchasing a separate stroller and then purchasing an adaptor for it to use with your infant car seat.

Ease of Use

Car seat and stroller combos can help parents save time and money as well as hassle. Contrary to traditional travel systems that requires you to transfer the infant car seat between your vehicle and stroller, combos allow you to connect the two in a single click. This is especially helpful for mothers who are first-time parents who be overwhelmed by the number of aspects of caring for of a child.

Car-seat/stroller combos also tend to be lighter than separate strollers and car seats, which can make them easier to move around. Additionally, a lot of models have quick-attach car seat bases and adapters that require minimal pressure to release and attach which minimizes the risk for errors (whether accidental or not). Certain models also come with clear instructions and audible clicks to let you know that your car seat has been secured.

In our tests of stroller/car seat combos we are looking for models that have more user-friendly scores. For instance, the Evenflo Shyft DualRide is a one-piece option that folds up into a stroller and then folds to go back into its base. It also offers a smooth, consistent ride due to the progressive rear and front wheel suspension. Its fabrics can also be washed by machine.

Other top-rated strollers with high ease-of-use scores include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Combo, UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, and the UPPAbaby Minu. These models have more maneuverable wheels and have superior brakes, which means they are a lot easier to push with fewer frustrations. All models have adapters and car-seat attachments which allow you to put the infant car seat into the correct position.

It's important to understand that the majority of car-seat/stroller combinations don't work with all-in-one convertible or extended-use car seat. These kinds of car seats are built to be used in vehicles and don't attach to the frame of a stroller. There are a variety of choices, including the Doona latch base and the infant car seat which can be used with a stroller for 6-9 months. While the Doona is pricey but it can be a good fit for families who wish to have an automobile but don't want to buy a second car seat or stroller after their baby is out of the car seat for infants.

Budget

It could seem like an excellent way to save money, however it is crucial to be aware of the quality of each component. The stroller should have a sturdy and comfortable feeling, while the car seat needs to be secured with a five-point harness. A good combination will also include an expansive canopy that protects your child from direct sunlight as well as a tray for the parents with double cup holders, and a peekaboo window to monitor your child while you're out.

You're looking for a system which is easy to set up and put in your vehicle. It should then fold up easily and compactly to be stored. Lastly, ensure that the stroller is easy-to-maneuver and has comfortable handles. It's a bonus when the stroller reclines to take naps or be adjusted to different heights.

Another factor to consider is the length of time your child will be in the infant car seat. In this regard, we recommend choosing a system with car seats that can be converted into an infant car seat and later a booster seat when your child is older.

Doona infant strollers and car seats are a favorite choice. We love that it skips the attachment process and is an rear-facing car seat with wheels, making the transition from a stroller to a vehicle an easy transition for your baby. The only drawback is that it has a shorter lifespan (6-9 months) and requires you to buy a second stroller when your baby outgrows the car seat for infants.
