A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A 2 in 1 travel system that includes a car seat provides parents with the convenience of having an infant car seat and stroller that can work together. However they can be expensive. These combos allow parents to easily transfer a sleepy child from the car to the stroller and reverse the process, without disturbing them. This is a great option for families who are constantly in motion. Comfort If you're looking for an easy method to move your baby from the car to stroller without waking them up an infant car seat, a travel system that includes a stroller seat and infant car seat could be what you're looking for. Contrary to stroller-only systems, all-in-ones typically have an infant car seat and a stroller that can be linked and can be used with both newborns and toddlers. Many of the car-and-stroller combinations on our list have a bassinet attached that can be used as a safe alternative for a traditional stroller for walks during naptime. A 2-in-1 travel system that comes with a car seat will cost more than buying the two items separately, however you'll save money and time by purchasing them all together. If you decide that the car seat and stroller aren't right for your family in the future, most brands have adaptors to allow you to use the car seat in conjunction with another stroller. When looking for a travel set, be aware that a majority of them come with an infant car seat and stroller designed to work together. These are meant to be used within the first year. If you plan to keep the seat after this point, choose a model that features a convertible car seat that can be used for toddlers and has a greater maximum weight. Some travel systems come with an additional seat that can be used to help older children. This is a nice feature, but it might not be suitable for your needs. If you're looking to purchase a travel system that will last a few years, check out our top picks for car seats and strollers. Our editor-tested favorites include the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combo come with a variety of features that will ensure that you and your baby stay comfortable. These products feature springy all-wheel-suspension to ease the ride. The PIPA car seat also comes with an integrated drape canopy to protect the baby who is sleeping. These products also feature rigid LATCH connectors which can be used on vehicles without a base. This makes them an ideal choice for families who frequently ride-share or have two cars. Convenience These combos are perfect for parents who frequently run errands, or take their babies on public transport such as trains and buses. You can easily transfer your baby's sleeping body from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them. A few of the top stroller-car seat combinations can be turned into a double when you grow your family. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo which comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place to instantly transform into a sleek chariot for two. This feature is especially important when you intend to use the car seat for your baby's sole vehicle seat. Other strollers and car seat combination models have more complicated conversion methods that may require you to manually connect the car seat of your infant onto the stroller or use the straps that are attached to the base to secure it. In our testing this method was generally more difficult to master than single-step method of the Doona. It can pose an accident hazard when you forget or misplace the straps to secure the straps prior using the travel system. A combination of a car seat and stroller is convenient however, you must think about whether the strollers and infant car seats can be used together for as long as you require them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos feature rear-facing infant car seat designed to be used until your child reaches the age of one. These car seats are not attached to strollers once they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seats/strollers products, like Doona can be used as toddler car seats that come with a seatbelt booster after your child has outgrown the car seat for infants, however, it is too large to fit into most conventional strollers. The best combination is an infant car seat and a stroller for babies to early childhood. When your child grows out of the infant car seat you can replace the travel system with a larger stroller that can be used by older toddlers and older children. Also, remember that you should always ensure the infant car seat is installed correctly and never remove it from your vehicle without removing the straps first. Safety Car seats and strollers make it easy to move infants from the vehicle to the stroller, and back without disturbing them or having to get them up. This is particularly useful when you're running errands or traveling, according to Rothman. For extra safety, look for a car seat that attaches to the stroller via a simple click or rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat will be secure while in use, and will not fall off or come loose in the course of transport. Combinations of strollers and car seats that can work with or without a base are good alternatives for ride-share vehicles. When you are looking for a travel system, be sure to check the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat and the stroller. Most infant car seats in these systems are rear-facing and only intended for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. A majority of these car seats change to a forward-facing seat that can be used in the vehicle or can snap into a compatible stroller. Stanton says it's crucial to read all labels and instructions particularly when it's time to ensure your child meets the weight and height requirements of the car seat as well as the stroller. While some parents prefer to buy separate products and design their own travel system, it's not unusual to see companies sell pre-packaged car seat and stroller combination sets. These sets are usually cheaper than purchasing them separately. Sets such as UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are highly sought-after. The stroller has a smooth ride, springy suspension on all wheels, and a huge storage basket to store everything you need for your baby. The car seat is low profile and features a SafeCell crumple zone to provide additional protection. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to set up. The car seat has a headrest that can be adjusted in four positions, four harness heights and an insert that is cushioned for your little one's comfort. It is easy to clean and it folds with one hand. Style Although it's tempting to purchase a travel system for the convenience of moving your child from stroller to car and back without having to wake them up, it's not the only reason to consider one. You also want to choose a model that's elegant, well-balanced, and has a number of other features that make it comfortable for your child and you. The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller and car seat base, all in one box for a seamless transition from vehicle to street. They typically come with an all-in-one car seat that can be easily converted into a stroller compatible with it. Some even come with an ottoman for napping (safety studies have proven that babies sleep better when they are in the reclining position). Strollers and infant car seats made to work with two in one travel systems are lightweight and robust, making them simple to move, push, and fold. Find models with rubber tires, a swivel front wheel for urban streets, and a big cargo basket that can hold many shopping bags. You should also consider how the car seat and stroller can be folded to make storage easier. Certain travel systems allow you to replace the infant car seat with an adult car seat when your child grows out of it. This allows you to enjoy an additional 2 to 3 years of use. That's a great option if you're planning on using the car seat for longer than one year, or if your partner regularly uses ride-share services or commutes via bus or train. Graco's All in One Car Seat and Stroller is a great option for families seeking an option that is all in one. The built-in rigid system of LATCH allows you to easily change between car seats and strollers and back. It's also approved for air travel, so you can hop on and off public transport in peace. The All-in-One Car Seat & Stroller can be converted into a double stroller, so you can take your child on excursions around the globe. two in one pram 's also available in a variety of vibrant colors that will match any wardrobe.
