Car Seat and Stroller Combos The best car seat stroller combos are so simple to connect that it's like they're doing it themselves. “Look for a base and carrier that snap together easily,” advises Stanton. This will reduce the chance of mistakes during installation and removal. One option that does this is the Doona that seamlessly converts from a car seat into a stroller, and also helps to free up space in the trunk. Reviewers on the internet say it feels substantial, but they also love its user-friendliness and its functionality. Easy to Assemble A car seat and stroller combo is an attractive choice for parents who wish to avoid the hassle of switching between the two. It's also a good option for parents who take public transportation or rideshares frequently, as well as those who switch caregivers. Stanton says that because they're one item and the wheels are attached to the car seats, they are more portable. However, she adds that it's essential to make sure the car seat is securely secured when using it with a travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and the manual of your vehicle's owner to ensure that the seat is secure, she says. In our tests, we found that the best stroller-car seat combos have a simple click-in connection, which requires little effort, other than moving the stroller from one location to the next. These models scored better than those with more complex connections, since they require less pressure and offer fewer opportunities for errors (intentional or accidental). We like, for example that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment, which requires no straps, and that it has an indicator at the bottom of the car seat that shows that the seat is level correctly. The Doona All-in One Stroller for Infants too, is easy to install and transfer from vehicle into stroller. It's a seamless change that frees up trunk space for shopping and errands. It also features a swivel wheel on the front that allows for excellent mobility even with a seat attached. Another alternative is the Britax B-Lively and B-Safe Gen2 Travel System, which has springy suspension as well as a large, one-hand fold chassis that can be easily stored.

Our top picks have rubber tires and a single, pivoting wheel in the front for navigating busy sidewalks and streets. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo all glide effortlessly and come with useful features, including one-hand brakes and a large storage basket. Easy to store Parents who want their baby to be as comfortable as possible will be better off with a car seat and stroller combination, whether doing errands during the day or planning an outing with the family. Stroller and car seat combinations are usually simpler to maneuver than individual pieces, and a lot of models come with features that make them stand out from the competition. But, it is crucial to keep in mind that the car seat and stroller must be compatible in order to work. The manufacturer of the car seat should provide guidelines on what strollers are compatible with their products. A quick search on the internet will help narrow your choices. Certain strollers and car seats have a direct attachment that snaps into position without the need for additional straps or complicated assembly. This kind of simple attachment is a major selling point, and is particularly beneficial for families that often use ride-share cars or public transportation. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat which can be converted to stroller with the press of a single button. This is a time-saving feature and allows you to avoid gate-checking your stroller on planes (assuming you've purchased an airline chair for your infant) or to hop in and out of a taxi. Other car seat and stroller combinations, such as the Nuna TRVL, allow parents to take the infant car seat from the stroller's base and easily fold it into a compact unit that fits in the trunk of a car. This is an excellent feature for parents with a busy schedule. The stroller itself also is sleek and stylish, with top quality fabrics and also smart touches like a built-in canopy that drapes over a baby who's snoozing.

Choose a light and compact 2 in 1 stroller/car seat. These options are more comfortable to use and are more easy to push on different terrains. The smaller frames make it easier to fit the car seat in a trunk or back of the car. Many of the most sought-after and highly rated car seats/strollers combos are compact, lightweight and have wheels that fold to make it easy to store. For instance, the Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is a no-frills seat that converts from an rear-facing five-point harness into a booster for kids who are no longer in a baby carrier. It's light (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps that are easy to use. The Doona is a different 2 in 1 stroller/car seat worth noting. It's a unique piece of equipment due to the fact that it can be transformed from a rear-facing infant car seat to a stroller by simply clicking a button.

If that's your scenario, be sure to go over the specifications of the product to ensure that the stroller you choose and car seat will work in conjunction. Consider buying an adapter to match the combination you want. Easy to Fold Car seat and stroller combos are a great option for parents who want only one piece of baby gear that can handle multiple functions. They can easily be converted from a car to the stroller and vice versa. They are also easier to maneuver than two piece travel systems. “They're designed to be more easily portable,” says Stanton. “They have a lot fewer moving components, which makes them more compact to fold, carry and use.” Additionally, these types of strollers and car seats for infants are generally lighter than two-piece models and can be tucked away in small trunks, making them easy to carry around. They also have a larger cargo basket and more practical features like sun shades and cup holders.

Other brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to insert the car seat, and then fold it up into the form of a stroller. The model isn't as sleek as Doona, but it allows you to remove the car seat from the frame without needing to insert it into the base. It is also important to consider whether a specific stroller and infant car seat combo can fit the car seat you prefer. If the stroller and infant car seat are compatible, you can anticipate a longer-lasting product that will work with your child even after they've outgrown their car seats for infants. It's important to understand that some stroller and car seat combinations do not perform well in our user-friendliness tests. This could be due to a design that creates difficulty or isn't convenient to climb stairs, or due to the weight of the car seat and stroller could make it difficult to push across different terrains. It is worth reading our reviews to determine which one is the best one for you.
