Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The most effective car seat stroller combos are so easy to attach that it's almost like they do it themselves. Stanton suggests: "Look for a base that is easy to click with the carrier." This will reduce the chance of errors during installation and removal.

Doona is one option that lets you accomplish this. It effortlessly converts from a car seat to stroller, and lets you free up space in your trunk. Reviewers on the internet love the Doona's versatility and ease of use but also note its substantial feel.

Easy to Assemble

A car seat and stroller combination is a great option for parents who wish to avoid the hassle of switching between the two. It's also a good alternative for parents who utilize public transportation or rideshares frequently, as well as those who switch caregivers. "These are a single product and the wheels are attached to the car seat, meaning they're more portable," says Stanton. However, she adds, it's important to ensure that your car seat is properly secured when it's used with an electronic travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and your vehicle owner's manual to ensure that the seat is secure she advises.

In our tests, the top stroller-car seat combos have simple click-in connections, which requires little effort other than moving the carrier from one location to another. They scored better than those with more complicated connections, since they require less pressure and provide the least chance of making errors (intentional or accidental). We like, for instance, the fact that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment, which requires no straps, and also has an indicator on the base of the car seat that indicates that the seat is level correctly.

Similar to the Doona All-in One Infant Car Seat Stroller is easy to set up and then transfer from vehicle to stroller. It's a seamless change that frees up trunk space for shopping and other errands.

Another option is Britax B Lively & B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It features an elongated chassis that is springy and a large one-hand fold chassis that can be easily stored. It comes with a large storage basket as well as plenty of cup holders for snacks, drinks, and baby gear. The cushioned seat is comfortable for long journeys, and the tagless smooth knit fabric is washed in the machine. It's FAA approved and comes with an safety harness that is secured at or below the shoulders of your baby and includes a SafeCell crumple zone to protect them in the event of an accident.

A good travel system must be simple to push. Our top choices have rubber tires and a single swivel wheel on the front to help navigate busy streets and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo as well as the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 pram and pushchair Combo all glide effortlessly and feature useful features, such as one-hand braking as well as a large storage basket.

Many of the most sought-after and highly rated car seats/strollers combinations are light, compact and have wheels that fold to make it easy to store. For example the Cosco Finale 2 in 1 pushchair pram-in-1 is a no-frills seat that converts from an rear-facing five-point harness into a booster for children who are no longer in a baby carrier. It's reasonably priced, light (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps that are easy to use (we did not consider it an ideal choice for its ease of installation).

The Doona is another 2 in 1 stroller/car seat that's worth to be mentioned. It's an exceptional piece of equipment due to the fact that it can be transformed from a rear-facing infant car seat into stroller with the click of on a button.

Many families opt for a two-piece stroller/car seat system If they're looking for an infant carrier from a certain brand or have plans for multiple children. If this is the case, be sure you read the product specifications to ensure that your car seat and stroller are compatible. Also, consider buying an adapter if necessary to accommodate your desired combination.
