A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A 2 in 1 travel system that incorporates a car seat offers parents the convenience of having an infant car seat and stroller that can work together. However, they can be expensive. These combos allow parents to easily move a child asleep from the car to the stroller and vice versa, without waking them. This is a great solution for families who are always moving. Comfort If you're looking for an easy method to move your baby from car to stroller without waking them up, a travel system with a stroller seat and infant car seat may be just what you need. In contrast to stroller-only combos, these all-in-ones usually have an infant car seat as well as stroller that connect, and are suitable for both newborns and toddlers. Many of the car seats and strollers combos on our list include an attachment for a bassinet which is a safe alternative to a stroller for naps. While a two-in-one travel system with car seat could cost more than separate items however, you'll likely save time and money by purchasing the two items together. And if you decide later on that the stroller and car seat aren't the right fit for your family, most brands offer adaptors that allow you to use the car seat with a stroller (provided it is able to meet the weight and height requirements). One thing to keep in mind when you are shopping for a travel set is that these sets usually comprise an infant car seat and a stroller designed to work together, and is intended to be used for the first 12 months. If you plan on keeping the car seat after this period make sure you choose a model which has a convertible car-seat that can be used for toddlers and is able to support a higher weight limit. Some travel systems also feature a second seat that can serve as a booster seat for older children. This is a nice feature, but it might not be practical for your lifestyle. If you're looking for a great travel system that will last a few years, take a look at our top picks for car seats as well as 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. They feature a springy all-wheel suspension to make the ride more comfortable. The PIPA car seat also features a built in drape canopy to protect a child who is snoozing. They also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used in vehicles without a base, making it a great choice for families who frequently use ride-share services or have two cars. Convenience Car seat/stroller combos are great for parents who regularly run errands or take their baby out on public transport such as buses and trains. 2 in 1 stroller let you easily transfer your sleeping newborn from the car to the stroller without disturbing them or waking them. A few of the top stroller-car seat combinations can be converted into a double as you expand your family. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that click into place, instantly transforming them into a sleek chariot two. This is particularly crucial if the car seat will be your baby's sole vehicle seat. Other car seat and stroller combination models have more complicated conversion techniques that require you to manually snap the infant car seat onto the stroller or use the straps that attach to the base to secure it. This method was more difficult to master during our testing than the Doona's one-step conversion. It could pose an accident hazard in the event that you lose or forget to secure the straps prior using the travel system. A car seat/stroller combination is convenient, but you should also think about whether the infant car seats and strollers will work together as long as you want 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're no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, like Doona can be used as car seats for toddlers with a seatbelt booster after your child is no longer in the car seat for infants, but is too big to fit into most conventional strollers. The best combination is an infant car seat and a stroller for newborns to early childhood. When your child has grown out of the infant car seat you can replace the travel system with larger strollers that can accommodate older toddlers and older children. Keep in mind that you must ensure the infant car seat is set up properly and never remove it from your vehicle without taking off 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 needing to wake them up. This is especially helpful when you're running errands or travelling, says Rothman. For extra safety, look for a car seat that is attached to the stroller using either a simple click or rigid LATCH system. This will ensure the car seat is safe when it's used and will not fall off or fall off during transport. Combinations of car seats and strollers that can be used without or with the base are also an excellent option for ride-share vehicles. When you purchase a travel system make sure you check the weight and age restrictions for both the stroller and the car seat. Most infant car seats in these systems are rear-facing, and are only designed for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. A majority of these car seats transition to a forward-facing car seat that will stay in the car or snap into a compatible stroller. Stanton says it's crucial to follow all instructions and labels particularly when it's time to ensure your child is in compliance with the weight and height requirements of both the car seat and the stroller. While some parents prefer to buy separate products and create their own travel system, it's not uncommon to see companies offer pre-packaged car seat and stroller set-ups. They are usually priced lower than buying the items individually. For instance, UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller has a smooth ride, springy all-wheel suspension and a large storage basket that can hold everything you need for your baby. The car seat has a low profile and comes with a SafeCell crumple zone for extra protection. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to set up. The car seat features a four-position headrest with four harness heights, as well as a padded insert to ensure your child's comfort. It is easy to clean, and folds in one hand. Style It's tempting to buy a travel system to make it easier to transfer your baby from the car to the stroller without waking them, however, that's not the only reason to consider buying one. You should also consider an option with a fashionable design, which is simple to use, and that has many other features to ensure your child's comfort as well as yours. The most effective travel systems comprise an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one package for an effortless transition from car to street. They usually come with a single-piece infant car seat that snaps easily into a compatible stroller, and some even offer an attachment for a bassinet for strolls to nap (safety research suggests that babies sleep best in a reclined position). Strollers and infant car seats that are compatible with 2-in-1 travel systems are light, durable, and easy to fold and move. Find models with rubber tires and a swivel wheel at the front for streets in cities and a large cargo basket, and can accommodate multiple shopping bags. For easy storage make sure to check how compact strollers and car seats can be when folded. Certain travel systems allow you to replace the infant car seat with a toddler car seat once your child has outgrown it. This allows for an additional 1-2 years use. This is a great option when you're planning on using the car seat for longer than a year, or if your partner frequently uses ride-sharing services or commutes by train or bus. The All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller is a top option for families who want an all-in-one solution. It's easy to transfer from a car seat to a stroller and back thanks to the LATCH system that locks the seat swiftly and securely in your car. It's also a certified air travel, so you can board and get off public transport with confidence. The All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller can also convert into a double stroller, which allows you to take your little one on global adventures. It is available in a range of vibrant colors that will complement any wardrobe.
