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 a baby car seat and stroller that can work together. However they can be expensive. These combos make it easy for parents to take a sleepy baby from car to stroller and back again without waking them up. This is a great option for families who are always on the move. Comfort If you're looking for an easy method to move your baby from the car to stroller without awakening them, a travel system with the stroller seat as well as an infant car seat could be the thing you're looking for. These all-in-ones differ from stroller-only models because they usually include an infant car seat as well as a stroller. They can be used for both newborns and older children. Many of the car seats and strollers combos that make our list have an attachment for a bassinet, which can be an excellent alternative to a traditional stroller for walks during naptime. A 2 in 1 travel system that comes with a car seat will cost more than purchasing the two items separately, however you'll save money and time by purchasing them all together. If you decide later that the car seat and stroller aren't the right fit for your family, most manufacturers offer adapters that allow you to use your chosen car seat alongside a stroller (provided it meets the weight and height requirements). When shopping for a travel set be aware that the majority of them come with an infant car-seat as well as stroller designed to work together. These are meant to be used during the first year. If you intend on keeping the car seat and using it after this point, consider a model with a convertible car seat that can also be used as a toddler's seat and has a greater weight limit. Some travel systems come with an additional seat that can be used to support older children. While this is a great option, it's not a necessity and may not be feasible based on your lifestyle. Check out our top choices of car seats and strollers If you're looking for an budget-friendly travel system that can last for a long time. Tested by our editors, favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combo have numerous features that will keep you and your child comfortable. These strollers feature a springy all-wheel suspension to smooth the ride, and the PIPA car seat comes with an inbuilt drape canopy that is perfect for protecting a snoozing child. They also come with rigid LATCH connectors that can be used in vehicles that do not have a base, making it a great option for families that frequently use ride-share services or have two cars. 2 in 1 stroller and car seat are great for parents who often run errands, or take their children on public transport such as trains and buses. It is easy to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without worrying about awakening them. Some of the best stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed to a double as you grow your family. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot that can accommodate two. This feature is crucial if you plan to use the car seat for your baby's sole car seat. Other stroller-car-seat combos might have more complicated conversion procedures. It is possible to manually snap the car seat onto stroller or strap it to the base to secure it. This method was more difficult to master during our testing than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you forget or lose the straps, it can cause a safety risk. While a combination of a car seat and stroller is convenient, you should also consider whether the stroller and infant car seat will work as long as you need them to. Most car seat/stroller combo products feature rear-facing infant car seat designed to be used until your child reaches the age of one. The car seats do not connect to strollers once they are no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products such as the Doona can be used as a car seat for toddlers with the seat belt booster when your child outgrows the car seat for infants but is too tall for the standard strollers. The ideal combination is a car seat and stroller for newborns to early childhood. Once your child outgrows the car seats for infants and you are looking at purchasing a stroller that is separate and replacing the travel system with a more spacious model that can be used by older children and toddlers. Also, keep in mind that you must ensure that your infant car seat is fitted correctly and never remove it from the vehicle without removing the straps first. Safety The combination of the car seat and stroller allows you to easily transfer infants from the vehicle to a stroller, and in reverse, without disturbing or waking them up. This is particularly useful when you're doing errands or traveling, says Rothman. To ensure extra safety, choose a car seat that is attached to a stroller with a rigid LATCH system or click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat is secure while in use and will not slide off or become loose during the course of transport. Combinations of car seat and strollers that can be used with or without the base are also a good option for ride-share vehicles. When looking for a new stroller, make sure you know the age and weight limits of both the car seat and the stroller. The majority of the infant car seats that are included in these systems are rear-facing and only designed for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. These car seats can be converted to a forward-facing car seat which can either be used in the car, or snapped into a stroller. It is important to be aware of the labels and follow all instructions with care, says Stanton particularly when it comes to making sure your child is in the appropriate weight and height guidelines for both the car seat as well as the stroller. Some parents prefer to buy separate products to create their own travel systems, others prefer buying pre-packaged car seats and stroller combinations it is not unusual to find companies that to sell these sets. These are often priced lower than purchasing the items separately. For instance, UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller offers a smooth ride, springy suspension on all wheels, and a huge storage basket that can hold all of your baby gear. The car seat is low profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone for added security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to set up. The car seat features an adjustable headrest that can be adjusted in four positions with four harness settings as well as padding to ensure the comfort of your child. It is easy to clean and comes with one-hand fold, which makes it easy for storage. Style It's tempting to buy an accessory for travel to make it easier to transfer your child from the car to the stroller without waking them up, however, that's not the only reason to buy one. You also want to choose a model that's stylish, easy to maneuver and comes with a variety of other features to make it comfortable for your child and you. Travel systems that are the most efficient include the infant car stroller, car seat and stroller base in one box to make it easier for you to move from your vehicle to the street. 2 in 1 stroller with car seat come with a single-piece infant car seat that snaps easily into a stroller that is compatible and some include an attachment for a bassinet for strolls to nap (safety research shows that babies sleep best in an upright position). Strollers and infant car seats designed to work with two in one travel systems are light and durable, making them easy to push, maneuver and fold. Find models with rubber tires and a swivel wheel at the front for streets in cities as well as a large basket for cargo, and can accommodate multiple shopping bags. To make it easier to store your items, you should also check how the strollers and car seats are when folded. Certain travel systems let you change the included infant car seat with a toddler seat as your child grows out of it, which gives you an extra 1-2 years of use. This is an excellent option for those who intend to use the seat for longer than a year or if they have a companion who travels by bus, train or ride-share. Graco's All in One Car Seat and Stroller is a great option for families looking for an option that is all in one. It's easy to transfer from the car seat to the stroller and back again, thanks to the LATCH system that secures the seat quickly and securely in your car. It's also approved for air travel, so you can get on and off public transport with ease. The All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller can also be converted into a double stroller, which allows you to take your baby to the world. It's also available in a variety of vibrant colors to match any outfit.
