A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat





A 2-in-1 travel system that includes car seats provides parents with the convenience of a car seat for their infant and a stroller that can work together. They can be costly.

These combos let parents easily transfer a sleepy child from the car to the stroller, and vice versa, without waking them up. This is a great solution for families who are always moving.

Comfort

Travel systems that include an infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from car to stroller simple. These are different from stroller-only combos since they typically include an infant car seat in addition to the stroller. They can be used for infants as well as older children. Many of the car seat-and-stroller combinations on our list include a bassinet attachment as well and can be an alternative to a traditional stroller for naps.

A 2-in-1 travel system that includes a car seat is more expensive than purchasing the two items separately, however you'll save time and money by purchasing them all at once. If you decide that the car seat and stroller aren't right for your family, most brands have adaptors that let you use the car seat with an alternative stroller.

When shopping for a travel set be aware that a majority of them come with an infant car-seat as well as a stroller that are designed to work together. They are designed to be used within the first year. If you intend to keep the seat and using it beyond this point, consider a model with an convertible car seat that can also be used as a toddler's seat and has a heavier weight limit.

Some travel systems also have a second seat that can serve as a booster for older kids. This is a great feature, but it might not be suitable for your needs.

Take a look at our top picks of car seats and strollers if you're looking for an budget-friendly travel system that can last for several years. Tested by our editors, favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combo have numerous features that will keep you and your child in a comfortable position. These products feature springy all-wheel-suspension to ease the ride. The PIPA car seat also features an integrated drape canopy that can protect a child who is snoozing. They also come with rigid LATCH connectors that can be used in vehicles that do not have a base, making it a perfect option for families that frequently use ride-share services or have two cars.

Convenience

These are great for parents who often run errands, or take their children on public transport such as trains and buses. They let you easily transfer your sleeping newborn from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them up.

Some of the best strollers and car seat combinations also allow you to convert to a double as your family grows. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, which features an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot two. 2 in 1 stroller with car seat is particularly crucial if the car seat is the sole vehicle seat for your baby.

Other stroller-car seat combinations may have more complicated conversion methods. You may need to manually snap the car seat onto stroller or attach straps to base to ensure it is secured. This method was more difficult to master during our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you forget or lose the straps, it could pose a safety hazard.

A car seat/stroller combination is a good idea but you must think about whether the infant car seats and strollers will work together as long as you require them to. The majority of car seats and strollers use rear-facing only infant car seats that are made to be used until your child turns one. These car seats cannot be attached to strollers once they are no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller models such as the Doona, can be used as a toddler car seat with the seat belt booster when your child has outgrown the car seat that was designed for infants, but is too tall to fit in the majority of strollers.

Car seat/stroller combinations work best for babies through early childhood. Once your child outgrows the infant car seats, you should look into purchasing a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a bigger model that can handle toddlers and older children. Keep in mind that you must always make sure the infant car seat is installed properly and never remove it from your vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

Car seats and strollers make it easy to transfer infants from the car to the stroller and back without disturbing them or having to awake them. This is particularly useful when you're running errands or traveling, says Rothman. For extra safety, look for a car seat that is attached to the stroller via the simple click or the rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat will be secure while in use and will not slide off or come loose in transportation. Combinations of car seat and stroller that can be used with or without the base are also a good option for ride-share vehicles.

When purchasing a travel system, be sure to check the weight and age limit for both the stroller and the car seat. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats that are designed to be used during the first 12 months of a child's life. These car seats can be changed to a forward facing car seat that can be used in the car or converted into the stroller. Stanton insists that you follow all instructions and labels particularly when it comes time to ensure your child is in compliance with the weight and height requirements of both the car seat as well as the stroller.

Some parents prefer to buy separate products to create their own travel systems, others prefer to buy pre-packaged car seats and stroller combinations it is not unusual to see companies to sell these sets. These sets are typically less expensive than purchasing them separately. Sets like UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are highly sought-after. The stroller offers smooth riding with suspension that is all-wheel and springy and a large storage basket that can be used to store all of your baby's gear. The car seat is low profile and comes with a SafeCell crumple zone for added security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to install. The car seat comes with a headrest that can be adjusted in four positions with four harness heights, as well as padding to ensure your child's comfort. It's easy to clean and has a one-hand fold, making it convenient for storage.

Style

While it's tempting to purchase an infant travel system due to the convenience of transferring your baby from stroller to car and back without waking them up, it's not the only reason to consider one. You should also consider one that's stylish, easy to maneuver, and has a number of other features to make it comfortable for your child and you.

The best 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 into a stroller that is compatible, and some even offer the option of a bassinet attachment to allow naptime strolls (safety research shows that babies sleep best when in a reclined position).

Strollers and infant car seats designed to work with 2 in 1 travel systems are light and robust, making them simple to move, push and fold. Look for models with rubber tires and a swivel front wheel for urban streets, and a big cargo basket that can accommodate multiple shopping bags. You also want to check how compact the car seat and stroller can be folded for ease of storage.

2 in 1 buggy let you replace the included infant car seat with a toddler one after your child has outgrown it, giving you an additional two years of use. This is an excellent option for parents who plan to use the seat for more than a year or if a partner commutes by train, bus or ride-share.

Graco's All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller is a top choice for families who want an all-in-one solution. It's simple to transfer from car seat to stroller and back again, thanks to the LATCH system that locks the seat quickly and securely in your car.
