A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A 2-in-1 travel system that includes car seats gives parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant, as well as a stroller which work together. However, they can be expensive. These combinations make it easy for parents to move a sleeping baby from stroller to car and back again without waking them. This is a great option for families who are constantly on the move. Comfort If you're looking for an easy way to transfer your baby from car to stroller without awakening them the next morning, a travel set-up that includes a stroller seat and infant car seat may be just what you need. These are different from stroller-only combinations because they usually come with an infant car seat and a stroller. They are suitable for both newborns and older children. Many of the car-and-stroller combinations that make our list also include a bassinet, which can be used as a safe alternative to a stroller during naptime walks. A two-in-one travel system that comes with a car seat will cost more than buying the items separately, but you'll save money and time by purchasing them all at once. If you decide that the stroller and car seat aren't right for your family there are adaptors for most brands that let you use the car seat with another stroller. When shopping for a travel set, be aware that a majority of them come with an infant car seat and a stroller that are designed to work together. They are intended to be used in the first year. If you plan to keep the seat and using it after this point, consider an option that has an convertible car seat that can be used as a toddler car seat and has a higher weight limit. Certain travel systems also come with a second seat that can be used as a booster seat for older kids. This is a nice feature, but it might not be suitable for your needs. If you're looking for a fantastic travel system that will last a few years, check out our top picks for car seats and strollers. Our editors' top picks include the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combo are packed with features to aid you and your baby to stay in a comfortable position. These products have springy all-wheel suspension that smooths the ride, and the PIPA car seat has an integrated drape canopy for protecting a snoozing child. These seats also have LATCH connectors that are rigid and can be used on cars that don't have a base. This makes them a great option for families that frequently use ride-share or have two cars. Convenience These combos are perfect for parents who often run errands, or take their babies on public transportation such as trains and buses. It is easy to move your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without worrying about wake them up. Some of the best strollers and car seat combinations also allow you to convert to a double as your family expands. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, which features an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place, instantly transforming into a sleek chariot for two. This feature is especially important in the event that you plan to use the car seat as your baby's only vehicle seat. Other stroller and car seat combination models have more complicated conversion techniques that require you to manually snap the infant car seat onto the stroller or use the straps attached to the base to hold it in place. In our tests this method, it was harder to master than the one-step process of the Doona. If you misplace or forget the straps, it may be a danger to your safety. A car seat/stroller combination is a good idea but you must consider whether the infant car seats and strollers can be used together for in the time you need 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 turns one. 2 in 1 pushchair cannot be attached to a stroller once they are no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, such as Doona can be used as car seats for toddlers with an additional seatbelt booster once your child is no longer in the infant car seat, but is too big to fit in most traditional strollers. Car seat/stroller combinations are best for babies through early childhood. When your child has grown out of the infant car seat, you can change the travel system to larger strollers that can be used by older toddlers and older children. Make sure that your infant car seat has been properly installed. Never remove it from the car without first untying the straps. Safety The combination of a car seat and stroller makes it easy to transfer infants from a car to a stroller and vice versa, without disrupting or waking them. This is especially helpful when you're doing errands or traveling, according to Rothman. To ensure security, opt for a car seat that is attached to a stroller via the rigid LATCH system or a click-on system. This will ensure the car seat is secured when it's in use and will not fall off or fall off during transportation. Car seat and stroller combos that work without or with bases are also great options for ride-share vehicles. When purchasing a travel set, be sure to check the weight and age restrictions for the stroller as well as the car seat. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats that are designed to be used for the first 12 months of the life of a child. A lot of these seats switch to a forward-facing seat that is able to remain in the vehicle or snap into a stroller that is compatible. It is essential to be aware of the labels and follow the instructions with care, says Stanton particularly when it comes down to ensuring your child is within the proper weight and height requirements for both the car seat as well as the stroller. While some parents prefer to purchase separate products and create their own travel system, it's not uncommon to see companies offer pre-packaged car seat and stroller combination sets. They're usually cheaper than buying the items individually. Sets like UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought-after. The stroller offers a smooth ride, a springy suspension with all-wheels and a large storage basket for everything your baby needs. The car seat is low-profile and features a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to install. The car seat features a headrest that can be adjusted in four positions with four harness heights, as well as padding for your child's comfort. It's easy to clean and has a 1-hand fold, which makes it easy to store. Style Although it's tempting to purchase a travel system for the ease of moving your baby from car to stroller and back without waking them up, it's not the only reason to think about one. You should also look for a model with a stylish design, which is simple to use, and that has many other features to ensure your child's safety and for your own. Travel systems that are the most effective include an infant car, stroller and car seat base in one box to allow you to move from your vehicle to the street. They usually come with a single-piece infant car seat that snaps easily into a compatible stroller, and some even offer the option of a bassinet attachment to allow strolls during nap time (safety research shows that babies sleep best in a reclined position). Strollers and infant cars seats that work with 2-in-1 travel systems are light and durable. They are also easy to fold and maneuver. Find models with rubber tires, a swivel front wheel for city streets, and a large cargo basket that can hold many shopping bags. You should also consider how the car seat and stroller are when they're folded to make storage easier. Some travel systems let you change the infant car seat with a toddler car seat when your child grows out of it. This gives you an additional 1-2 years use. This is a great option if you're planning to use the car seat for longer than a year, or if your partner is frequently using ride-share services or commutes by train or bus. The All-in-1 Car Seat and Stroller is a top option for families who want an all-in-one solution. The integrated rigid system of LATCH lets you easily change between car seats and strollers and back. It's also certified for air travel, so you can get on and off public transport with ease. The All-in-One Car Seat & Stroller can be converted to a double stroller, so you can take your child on adventures around the globe. It's also available in a range of vibrant colors to match any outfit.
