Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The most effective car stroller and seat combos almost appear to be able to attach themselves. Stanton advises: "Look for a base that is easy to click with the carrier." This will reduce the chance of errors during installation and removal.

One option that accomplishes this is the Doona that effortlessly transforms from car seat to stroller, and also helps to free up space in the trunk. Online reviewers note that it feels sturdy, but they also love its simplicity of use and performance.

Easy to Assemble

Parents who do not want to switch between strollers and car seats often will find a combination of both attractive. It also makes sense for those who often use rideshares or public transportation and for parents who change caregivers. Stanton says that because they're a single piece and the wheels are connected the car seats are more easily portable. Stanton stresses the need to secure the car seat properly when using an air travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and your vehicle owner's manual to ensure an appropriate fit she adds.

In our tests, we found that the best stroller-car seat combos feature simple click-in connections, that requires no effort, other than moving the stroller from one place to another. These models scored higher compared to models with more complicated connections due to the fact that they require less pressure and provide fewer opportunities for mistakes, whether intentional or accidental. We like, for instance that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment that does not require straps, and has a gauge at the bottom of the car seat that indicates when the seat is leveled correctly.

Similarly, the Doona All-in-One Stroller for Infants is simple to set up and move from car to stroller. It's an easy conversion that allows you to make use of the extra space in your trunk for shopping or for errands. It also has a swivel steering wheel at the front that allows for excellent mobility even with the seat on.

Another alternative is the Britax & B-Safe Gen2 Travel System with a springy suspension 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. Its cushioned seat is comfortable for long rides and the tagless smooth-touch fabric is machine washable. It is FAA-approved, and comes with a safety strap that locks either below or on your baby's shoulders. It also comes with a SafeCell Crumple Zone to protect them if they are in an accident.

A great travel system should also be easy to push, and our top picks all have rubber tires that have one, swivel front wheel for navigating busy streets and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 pram and car seat Combo all glide effortlessly and come with useful features, like one-hand brakes and a large storage basket.

Parents who want their baby to be as comfortable as possible will be better off with a car seat stroller combination, whether they are doing errands during the day or going on a family trip. Stroller-car-seat combos are much easier to move around than separate items, and many models have convenient features that distinguish them from the competition. It's important to remember that the car seat has to be compatible with the stroller for them to work together. The car seat manufacturer should provide guidelines on what strollers are compatible with their products. A quick online search will help narrow your options.

Some strollers and car seats come with an immediate connection that snaps in place without any straps or an intricate installation procedure. This type of easy attachment is a major benefit for families who regularly use public transportation or ride-share vehicles. The Doona is a good example. It is an FAA-approved infant car seat that is able to transform into a stroller with just the push of a button. This is a major time-saver and makes it easy to bypass gate-checking a stroller on airplanes (assuming you've also purchased an airline seat for your baby pram 2 in 1) or to get into and out of taxis.

Other stroller-car-seat combos such as the Nuna TrVL allow parents to remove the infant car seat from the base of the stroller, and fold it easily into a compact package which can be tucked away into the trunk. This is a great feature for busy parents. The stroller itself is sleek and stylish, with high-end fabrics, and also smart touches like a built-in canopy that drapes over babies who are sleeping.

The best 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will be contingent on your personal preferences, plans for growth, and budget. The most affordable options will likely be frame strollers that fit in a car seat and have the smallest amount of space. On the other hand, more expensive models may include a toddler seat or a twin stroller and offer more advanced features. You can be assured that the stroller is compliant with all safety standards.

If this is the case, make sure you read the product specifications to ensure that your stroller and car seats will work together. Also, consider buying an adapter to fit your preferred combination.

Easy to Fold
