Read the specs carefully to ensure your car seat and pushchair are compatible, or consider buying an adaptor.
Travel systems that have been tested by editors allow you to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without disrupting them. Some even include a carrycot for natural sleep.
Car Seat
A 2 in 1 travel set includes the stroller as well as an infant car seat that snaps together. This is a great solution for parents who regularly make errands, or take their baby on rides or public transport. “You’ll have less equipment to handle,” explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. “And it’s ideal for families that alternate between carpooling with other moms or using public transit.”
Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a top choice, with 90 percent of Amazon reviews rating five stars. It’s a rear-facing car seat that transforms into a rolling jogging stroller in a matter of seconds. The wheels fold under and it’s small when not in use. The Doona also attaches to the back of a car using the LATCH base, which is rigid, or to taxi-safe belt routes, making it a great choice for commuters and families in cities.
The Mamas & Papas pramette is another excellent car seat/stroller combo. It has the pram with a hood which opens and a front seat that can be adjusted so that your child can lay down for naps or for feedings. It comes with a large basket with cup holders to store all of your baby’s necessities and a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat has a multi-position reclining seat, and can recline to a flat, making sure your baby is comfortable on every ride.
The weight and height limits are also important. Also, consider whether the infant car seat can only be used with a backseat belt or if it has a rigid LATCH system built in. Also, look for a lock on the handle to ensure it stays safe in its place and the ability to tilt the handle toward the back of the seatback to make an anti-rebound bar.
Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats which can be turned to face forward later, are not able to snap into strollers. Many moms opt to purchase an additional car seat and stroller when their child is no longer in an infant seat.
Stroller
A stroller is an essential piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems have a baby pram that transforms into a cozy infant carrycot, so your child can rest comfortably in the car and is perfect for newborns and parents who don’t want to disturb them when traveling. Based on the brand they may also include an automobile seat and stroller combo that clicks into each other. This means that you can keep your child safely secure in the car seat and then transfer them to a pushchair without causing any disturbance, which is great for long journeys and busy shopping centres.
A quality stroller must be equipped with a variety of features that make it practical and easy to use. It should include an ample basket in which you can store essentials like nappies or snacks, as well as toys and toys. It should also be able to recline to give your baby a restful and comfortable sleep. It should also include an adequate canopy to shield your baby from sun and a lockable front wheel for added safety. In addition it should be light and compact enough for storage or transporting to and from the car.
Travel system strollers that have been tested by an editor such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all have the benefit of connecting with a range of top car seats that can be attached to the frame and fold down with ease. Some have a single wheel at each leg, making them more maneuverable and roll on different surfaces.
The best 2 in 1 car seat stroller strollers are able to carry your child throughout toddlerhood and beyond, so that you can continue to use it to take your child to and from activities, school and play dates. For this reason, consider a model with an opening that allows your child to face the world (and reclines) once your baby outgrows the car seat.
If you plan to utilize your 2-in-1 travel system on public transport, select the model with an ISOFIX base. This will ensure it is safe for you to get off and on trains or buses. Some models, like the Doona can be installed on trains and planes to make traveling with your baby a lot easier.
