A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat

A 2-in-1 travel system that includes car seats offers parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant as well as a stroller which work in tandem. They can be expensive.

These combos allow parents to easily move a child asleep from the car to the stroller, and in reverse, without disturbing them. This is a great option for families that are constantly in motion.

Comfort

Travel systems that include a stroller and infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from the car to stroller a breeze. These are different from stroller-only combos because they usually come with an infant car seat as well as the stroller. They are suitable for infants as well as older children. Many of the car seat-and-stroller combos on our list have a bassinet attachment as well which is an 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 products separately, but you'll save money and time by purchasing them all together. If you decide that the car seat and stroller aren't suitable for your family later the majority of brands have adaptors that allow you to use the car seat with a different stroller.

One important thing to remember when looking for a travel system is that they typically comprise an infant car seat and a stroller designed to work in tandem, which is designed to be used in the first 12 months. If you plan on keeping the seat after this point, choose a model that has a convertible car-seat that can be used for toddlers and has a higher maximum weight.

Some travel systems also have a second seat that can be used as a booster for older kids. This is a nice option, but it may not be appropriate for your needs.

If you're looking for a fantastic travel system that will last a few years, take a look at our top picks for car seats and strollers. The UPPAbaby, a favorite of our editors, PIPA stroller and car seat combo have many features that will keep you and your child in a comfortable position. These strollers feature a springy all-wheel suspension to smooth the ride and the PIPA car seat comes with a built-in drape canopy to protect a child who is snoozing. They also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used with vehicles without a base, making it a great option for families who regularly utilize ride-sharing services or two cars.

Convenience

Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for parents who often run the errands of their children or take them out on public transport such as trains and buses. They let you easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them up.

Some of the best stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed into a double as you expand your family. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo is an ideal combination of a stroller and infant car seat that can be pushed into position to instantly transform into chariots for two. This feature is particularly important in the event that you plan to use the car seat as your baby's only car seat.

Other stroller and car seat combinations have more complicated conversion procedures that require you to manually connect the car seat of your infant onto the stroller, or use the straps attached to the base to fix it. This method was more difficult to master during our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. It could pose dangerous when you forget or misplace the straps to attach the straps before using the travel system.

A car seat/stroller combo is a good idea however, you must consider whether the strollers and infant car seats will work together as long as you require them to. Most car seat/stroller combination products use rear-facing only infant car seats that are designed to be used up until your child turns one. These car seats cannot be attached to a stroller once they are no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller products, like Doona can be used as toddler car seats that come with a seatbelt booster after your child is no longer in the car seat for infants, but is too big to fit into traditional strollers.

Car seat/stroller combinations work best for newborns through the early years of childhood. Once your child outgrows the infant car seats and you are looking at purchasing a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a more spacious model that can handle toddlers and older children. Also, remember that you must always make sure your infant car seat is set up correctly and never take it from the vehicle without taking off the straps first.





Safety

Car seat and stroller combos make it easy to move infants from their car to the stroller and back again without disrupting them or having to get them up. Rothman says this is particularly beneficial when you're running errands and traveling. To ensure safety, choose a car seat which attaches to a stroller with the rigid LATCH system or a click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat is secured during use and won't fall off or loosen during transportation. Combinations of car seat and strollers that can be used with or without the base are also an excellent option for vehicles that ride-share.

When you purchase a travel system make sure you check the weight and age restrictions for the stroller as well as the car seat. Typically, the infant car seats in these systems are rear-facing, and are only meant for use in the first 12 months of your child's life. A lot of these car seats then switch to a forward-facing seat that is able to remain in the car or snap into a stroller that is compatible. Stanton says it's crucial to be aware of all labels and directions, especially when it's time to make sure that your child meets the weight and height requirements for both the car seat and the stroller.

While some parents prefer to buy separate items and build their own travel system, it's not unusual for companies to offer pre-packaged car seats and strollers set-ups. These sets are usually cheaper than purchasing them individually. For example, UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller is smooth ride, springy suspension with all-wheels and a large storage basket for all of your baby gear. 2 in 1 pushchair Push Chairs And Prams is slim and has a SafeCell crumple zone to provide additional protection. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to install. The car seat features a four-position adjustable headrest with four harness settings as well as a padded insert to ensure your child's safety. It is easy to clean and it folds with one hand.

Style

It's tempting to purchase a travel system that makes it easier to transfer your baby from the car to the stroller without waking them, but that's not the primary reason to think about buying one. You also want to choose one that is stylish, maneuvers well and comes with a variety of other features that make it comfortable for both your child and you.

The most effective travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller and car seat base, all in one box for an effortless transition from car to street. They usually have a one-piece infant car seat that snaps easily into a stroller that is compatible and some include an attachment for a bassinet for strolls during nap time (safety research has shown that babies sleep best when in reclined positions).

Strollers and infant car seats designed to work with two in one travel systems are light and durable, making them easy to maneuver, push and fold. Make sure you choose models with rubber tires with a swivel wheels on 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 it is important to know how small car seats and strollers fold when folded.

Some travel systems let you change the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat once your child grows out of it. This allows for an additional 1-2 years use. This is a great option if you plan to use the car seat for longer than one year, or if your partner is frequently using ride-share services or commutes via train or bus.
