A 2 in 1 Travel System

A stroller and car seat combination is the best choice, whether you want to travel comfortably or create a contemporary version of the pram. Check the specifications carefully to ensure that your car seat and pushchair are compatible, or you could consider purchasing an adaptor.

Editor-tested travel systems allow you to transfer your newborn baby in a seamless manner from the car to the stroller without disturbing them. Some travel systems include the option of a carrycot that encourages the natural sleep.

Car Seat

A 2-in-1 travel set comes with a stroller and an infant car seat that snap together. It's a convenient option for parents and caregivers who frequently run errands with their baby or take their little one out on rideshares or public transportation. "You'll have less gear to deal with," explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. "And it's perfect for families that alternate between carpooling and public transit with other moms."

Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a popular option, with 90 percent of Amazon reviews giving it five stars. It's a rear facing car seat that transforms into a rolling jogging stroller in just a few 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 that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt paths making it a great choice for commuters and city families.

The Mamas & Papas pramette another excellent car seat/stroller combo. It comes with an infant pram with a hood which opens and the front seat can be lowered so that your child can lie down for naps or for feedings. It comes with a large basket, cup holders and a basket for all the necessities for your baby and a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat can recline in a variety of positions, and it can even be flat so that your child will be comfortable for every ride.

Other important car seat features to consider are the weight and height limits and whether the infant seat can be used with just the backseat belt or has an additional layer of protection with the LATCH system built into it. Look for pram 2in1 on the handle to secure the handle in the right place. You can also tilt the handle towards the rear seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats which can be turned forward-facing later, are not able to snap into strollers. Many moms choose to buy a separate car seat and stroller once their child has outgrown an infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for newly parents. Some travel systems include a baby pram which can be transformed into a comfortable infant carrycot. This is a great option for parents who do not want to disturb their newborn when traveling. Depending on the brand, some also feature the option of a stroller and car seat combo that clicks into one another. This means you can keep your child safely buckled up in the car seat, and then move them to a stroller without causing disturbance. This is ideal for long trips and busy shopping centers.





A good stroller needs to have plenty of features to make it practical and user-friendly. It should include a large storage basket that can hold important items like nappies, toys, and snacks. It must also recline so that your child can sleep comfortably. It should have a canopy to shield your child from sun and also an lockable wheel on the front for safety. Lastly it should be light and compact for storage or transporting to and from the car.

Editor-tested travel system strollers such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all offer convenience by connecting with a range of top car seats that click to attach to the frame and fold easily. Some also come with a single wheel on each leg, which makes them more maneuverable and roll over different surfaces.

Ideally, a stroller should be able to function through toddlerhood and beyond if you want it to to transport your child to and from school or to play dates, activities and so on. To do this, consider a model with an open-air seat that faces the world (and reclines) when your child is no longer in the car seat.

If you are planning to use your 2-in-1 travel system on public transportation, look for a model with an ISOFIX base so it's safe to hop on and off trains or buses. Some models, such as the Doona can be installed on trains and planes to make traveling with a child easier.
