Additionally, they can be a bit long and heavy to push, especially if the children are in car seats at the front.

The straps should be simple to adjust for height and the buckles should not require two hands to secure. They should be durable enough to withstand the repeated use. If the buckles are difficult to operate, they could be unsafe and need to be replaced. Seats should be able to recline easily, and come with a large UPF 50+ canopy and the ability to peek into the window.

This extra step creates an opportunity for error and increases the chance that the car seat will be installed incorrectly. Some strollers were difficult to adjust the crotch and shoulder straps, and some car seat buckles could be difficult to operate.
