A two-in-one travel system with car seat provides parents with the convenience of having an infant car seat and a stroller that can work together. However, they can be expensive.
These combos make it simple for parents to move a sleeping baby from the car to the stroller and back again without waking them. This is an excellent option for families who are always moving.
Comfort
If you’re looking for an easy way to transfer your baby from car to stroller without disturbing them an infant car seat, a travel system that includes an infant stroller seat and a stroller car seat might be the thing you’re looking for. These all-in-ones differ from stroller-only models since they typically include an infant car seat and a stroller. They can be used for both infants and older children. Many of the car-and-stroller combinations that we have listed have a bassinet attached that can be used as an alternative to a traditional stroller for naptime walks.
A pushchair 2 in 1 in 1 travel system that includes a car seat will cost more than purchasing the items separately, but you’ll save money and time by purchasing them all at once. If you decide later that the car seat and stroller aren’t right for your family, many brands have adaptors that let you to use your chosen car seat alongside a stroller (provided it is tall and weighs the same requirements).
When you are looking for a travel set be aware that the majority of these sets come with an infant car-seat and a stroller that are designed to work together. They are intended to be used during the first year. If you are planning on keeping the car seat and using it past this point, consider one with a convertible car seat that can be used as a toddler’s seat and has a higher weight limit.
Some travel systems also feature a second seat that can be used as a booster for older children. While this is a great option but it’s not essential and may not be practical based on your life style.
If you’re looking to purchase a travel system that will last a couple of years, look through our top choices for car seats and strollers. Tested by our editors, favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combo have many features that will keep you and your child in a comfortable position. They feature a springy all-wheel suspension to ease the ride. The PIPA car seat also features a built in drape canopy that can protect children who are snoozing. They also come with rigid LATCH connectors that can be used with vehicles without a base making it a great choice for families who frequently use ride-share services or have two cars.
Convenience
These are great for parents who run errands or take their children on public transport such as trains and buses. It is easy to move your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without disturbing or wake them up.
A few of the top strollers and car seat combinations also allow you to convert to a double as your family grows. The Thule Urban Glide pushchair pram 2 in 1 Combo is an ideal combination of a stroller as well as a infant car seat that can be pushed into place to instantly transform them into chariots that can accommodate two. This feature is especially important in the event that you plan to use the car seat as the baby’s sole vehicle seat.
Other stroller-car-seat combos might have more complicated conversion methods. You may have to manually attach the car seat to the stroller or strap it to base to secure it. In our testing, this method was often harder to master than the one-step procedure of the Doona. It can pose a safety risk if you misplace or forget to secure the straps prior using the travel system.
While a combination of a car seat and stroller is convenient, you should also consider whether the stroller and car seat for your infant will work together for as long as you require them to. Most car seat/stroller combination products use rear-facing only infant car seats that are made to be used until your child turns 1. These car seats do not attach to strollers when they’re no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller product, such as Doona can be used as toddler car seats that come with the seatbelt booster when your child is no longer in the infant car seat but is too big to fit into traditional strollers.
Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for babies through the early years of childhood. Once your child outgrows the car seats for infants and you are looking at buying a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a more spacious model that can handle older children and toddlers. Also, remember that you should always ensure your infant car seat is fitted properly and never remove it from the vehicle without removing the straps first.
Safety
The combination of a stroller and car seat makes it easy to transfer infants from the vehicle to a stroller, and vice versa, without disturbing or waking them up. This is especially helpful when you’re running errands or traveling, says Rothman. To ensure safety, select an automobile seat that connects to a stroller with the rigid LATCH system or an easy-on system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain safe while being used, and will not fall off or come loose in transit. Combinations of car seats and stroller that can be used in conjunction with or without the base are also a good option for ride-share vehicles.
When you are looking for a travel system, check the weight and age limits of both the car seat and the stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats which are only designed for use during the first 12 months of the child’s life. These car seats can be changed to a forward-facing car seat which can either be used in a vehicle or converted into the stroller. Stanton says it’s crucial to follow all instructions and labels particularly when it comes time to make sure your child is in compliance with the weight and height requirements of both the car seat as well as the stroller.
While some parents prefer to buy separate products and create their own travel system, it’s not unusual for companies to offer pre-packaged car seat and stroller set-ups. They are usually priced lower than buying the products separately. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought after. The stroller offers smooth riding with springy all-wheel suspension and a large storage basket to store all your baby’s equipment. The car seat has a low profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. It’s a simple and easy install, thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat comes with a four-position headrest and four harness heights as well as a padded insert to ensure your child’s comfort. It is easy to clean and it folds with one hand.
Style
While it’s tempting to buy a travel system for the convenience of transferring your baby from stroller to car pram and pushchair 2 in 1 back again without waking them up, it’s not the only reason to consider one. You should also choose a model that’s stylish, maneuvers well, and has a number of other features to ensure it’s comfortable for your child and you.
The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller, four-Wheel prams and car seat base all in one box to allow an effortless transition from car to street. They typically feature a one-piece infant car seat that snaps into a compatible stroller, and some even offer the option of a bassinet attachment to allow strolls during nap time (safety research suggests that babies sleep best when in a reclined position).
Strollers and infant car seats made to work with 2 in 1 travel systems are light and robust, making them simple to push, maneuver and fold. Find models with rubber tires and a swivel front wheel for city streets, and a big cargo basket that can accommodate multiple shopping bags. To make storage easier make sure to check how small car seats and strollers can be when folded.
Some travel systems let you replace the included infant car seat with a toddler one when your child outgrows it, giving you an additional two years of use. That’s a great option if you’re planning to use the car seat for longer than one year, or your partner regularly uses ride-share services or commutes via bus or train.
