Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The best car seat stroller combinations are so simple to attach that it's almost like they're doing it all by themselves. "Look for the base and the carrier that can be easily clicked together," advises Stanton. This reduces the possibility of mistakes during installation and removal.

Doona is one of the options that lets you do this. It effortlessly converts from a car seat to a stroller, and it makes space in your trunk. Reviewers on the internet say it is hefty however they also appreciate its simplicity of use and performance.

Easy to Assemble

Parents who don't want to change between car seats and strollers often will find a combination of both appealing. It's also a great option for parents who take public transportation or rideshares frequently as well as those that switch caregivers. "These are a single piece of equipment and the wheels are attached to the car seat, so they're more easily mobile," says Stanton.

In our tests, we discovered that the most effective stroller and car seat combinations come with a simple click-in connector that requires no effort beyond shifting the carrier from one to another. These models scored better than those with more complicated connections, as they require less pressure and have less chance of making mistakes (intentional or accidental). For instance, we love that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo has a simple drop-in attachment that needs no straps--and that there's an indicator on the car seat base that shows when it is properly leveled.

Similarly, the Doona All-in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller is easy to set up and transfer from car to stroller. It's a seamless transformation that frees up trunk space for shopping and errands.

It's FAA-approved and comes with a safety harness that locks at or below your baby's shoulders and has a SafeCell crumple zone to protect them in the event of an accident.

A great travel system should also be easy to push and, in our top picks, all have rubber tires with one, swivel front wheel to navigate busy roads and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pushchair and car seat Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 pram system Combo all glide effortlessly and come with useful features, like one-hand braking as well as a large storage basket.

Parents who want their child to be as comfortable as they can will be better off with a stroller and car seat combination, regardless of whether they are doing errands during the day or taking a family trip. Stroller-car seat combos are easier to move than separate items, and many models have convenient features that set them apart from other strollers. But, it is crucial to keep in mind that the car seat and stroller need to be compatible for use together. The manufacturer of the car seat should give guidelines on what kinds of strollers can be used with their product, and a quick online search will help find the right stroller.

Some strollers and car seats feature an easy connection that snaps in place without any straps or an intricate installation process. This kind of effortless attachment is a big selling point, and is particularly beneficial for families that frequently utilize ride-share vehicles or public transportation. The Doona for instance, is an FAA-approved infant car seat that can transition into a stroller at the push of one button. This is a fantastic time-saver and allows you to avoid gate-checking your stroller on planes (assuming you've purchased an airline chair for your baby) or to get in and out of taxis.

Other stroller and car seat combinations, like the Nuna TRVL, allow parents to take the infant car seat from the stroller base and then fold it up into a compact package that can be tucked away into the trunk of a vehicle. This is a fantastic feature for busy families and the stroller itself has a sleek profile with premium fabrics and smart touches such as a built-in curtain canopy to shield a sleeping baby.

The best 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will be contingent on your lifestyle, plans for growth, and budget.

Many families choose two-piece stroller/car seat systems in the event that they have decided on a particular brand of infant carrier, or have plans to have more than one child. If this is the case, be sure to read the specifications to ensure that your stroller and car seats are compatible. Also consider purchasing an adapter if necessary to make your desired combination.

Easy to Fold

The car seat and stroller combination is a great option for parents seeking a single piece that can be used for multiple purposes. They can easily transition from being a car seat to a stroller, and back again, and they're generally more maneuverable than two-piece travel systems. Stanton says they're designed to be more portable. "They contain a lot fewer moving components, which makes them more compact to fold, carry and use."

Certain brands, such as Doona offer a stroller and infant car seat that can be used together. These are especially beneficial for parents who take public transportation or rideshares or change caregivers often. This model is basically an rear-facing car seat with wheels. The wheels drop down to become a stroller when you wish to use it.

Other brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to insert the car seat, and then unfold it into the form of a stroller. This model is not as sleek as Doona but you can remove the car seat without having to click into the base.

Consider whether the stroller and infant seat combination you're considering will work with your preferred car seat. If it's compatible, you can expect more life from the product since it will continue to work with your child when they get out of the infant car seat.

However, it's important to know that certain stroller and car seat and pram 2 in 1 seats do not perform well in our tests for ease of use. This could be due to the design of the product that makes it difficult or uncomfortable to use stairs, or because the weight of the stroller and car seat could make it difficult to push on different terrains. It is worth reading our reviews to find out which option is the best one for you.
