A 2 in 1 Travel System

A stroller and car seat combination is the best choice for those who want to travel with ease or create a contemporary version of the traditional pram. Make sure to check the specifications to make sure that your stroller and car seat are compatible, or you can consider buying an adaptor.

Editor-tested travel systems let you move your sleeping newborn seamlessly from the car to the stroller without having to disturb them. Some travel systems come with the option of a carrycot that encourages the natural sleeping.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel set comes with a stroller and an infant car seat that snap together. This is a great option for parents who frequently make errands, or take their baby on public transport or rideshares. "You'll have less gear to manage," explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families that switch between public transportation and carpooling with other moms."

Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a popular choice, with 90 percent of Amazon reviews rating five stars. It's a rear facing car seat that transforms into a stroller with wheels in just a few seconds. When not in use the wheels can be folded down and it is compact. The Doona also attaches to a car's backseat with the LATCH base that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt routes, making it ideal for commuters and city families.

The Mamas & Papas pramette is another great car seat/stroller combination. It has the pram with a hood which opens and the front seat can be lowered to let your child lie down for naps or meals. It has a spacious basket with cup holders to store all of your baby's necessities, plus a parent tray and sun shade. The stroller seat is able to recline in various positions and can be flat too so that your child will be comfortable for every ride.

The weight and height limits are important. Also, consider whether the car seat for infants is only compatible with a backseat belt, or in the event that it comes with a strong LATCH system that is built-in. Look for a lock on the handle to ensure that the handle stays in place. 2 in 1 prams can also tilt the handle toward the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

It's worth noting that travel systems work only with infant car seats--and extended-use car seats that are able to later turn forward-facing do not snap into strollers. For 2in1 pram , many moms opt to get an additional car seat and stroller when their child is no longer in the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a crucial piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems come with the baby pram that converts into a cozy infant carrycot so that your child can rest comfortably in the car, making them ideal for parents with newborns or who don't want to disturb them when traveling. Based on the brand, some also feature a car seat and stroller combination that can be connected to each other. This means you can keep your child buckled up in the car seat and then move them to a stroller without causing any disturbance, which is great for long journeys and busy shopping centers.

A good stroller should have many features that make it easy to use and practical. It should come with a large basket that can store essentials like nappies as well as snacks, toys and other items. It should also be in a position to recline to provide your baby a comfortable rest. 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 to store it in storage or for transporting to and from the car.

Editor-tested travel system strollers like the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all have the benefit of connecting to a variety of top car seats that can be attached to the frame and fold up easily. Some models also come with a single wheel on each leg, making them more maneuverable and roll over different surfaces.

The ideal stroller should be capable of carrying your child through toddlerhood and beyond, so that you can continue using it to get your child to and from activities like school, play dates, and so on. When your child has outgrown their car seat, you should choose a stroller which is able to seat your child in the world and that reclines.

If you are planning to use your 2-in-1 travel system for public transport you should look for one with an ISOFIX base to ensure that it is safe to take off and on buses or trains. Some models, like the Doona can be installed on planes and trains to make travelling with a baby more convenient.
