Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The best car seat and stroller combos almost seem to connect themselves. Stanton recommends: "Look for a base that is simple to click with the carrier." This reduces the possibility of mistakes during installation and removal.

One option that can do this is the Doona, which seamlessly transforms from car seat to stroller and makes room for the trunk. Online reviewers note that it feels sturdy, but they also love its user-friendliness and functionality.

Easy to Assemble

Parents who do not want to switch between strollers and car seats often find a mix of both attractive. It also makes sense for those who regularly use public transportation or rideshares as well as parents who change caregivers. Stanton says that since they're a single piece and the wheels are connected, the car seats are more easily portable. Stanton says it is important to ensure that the car seat is secured properly when using a travel system. She suggests that you always follow the manufacturer's directions and your vehicle's owner's manual for an ideal fit.

In our tests, the top stroller-car seat combos feature a simple click-in connection, which requires little effort, other than moving the carrier from one location to the next. These models scored better than those with more complicated connections, because they require less pressure and have less chance of making mistakes (intentional or accidental). We like, for example, that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in accessory that does not require straps, and has an indicator on the bottom of the car seat which indicates that the seat is level correctly.

Similar to the Doona All-in One Infant Car Seat Stroller is easy to set up and transfer from vehicle to stroller. It's a seamless transformation that frees up trunk space for shopping and errands. It also has a swivel wheel on the front that allows for excellent maneuverability even with the seat on.

Another option is the Britax B-Lively & B-Safe Gen2 Travel System, which has springy suspension and an enormous, one-hand-folding chassis for easy storage. It comes with a large basket and plenty cups for drinks, snacks and baby gear. Its cushioned seat is comfortable for long journeys and the tagless smooth-touch fabric is machine washable. It is FAA-approved, and comes with a safety strap that locks below or at your baby's shoulders. It also has a SafeCell Crumple Zone to safeguard the child in case of a crash.

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

Easy to Store

Parents who want their baby to be as comfortable as they can are better off choosing a car seat and stroller combination, whether running errands or going on an excursion with the family. Stroller-car seat combos are simpler to maneuver than separate items, and a number of models have convenient features that distinguish them from other strollers. However, it's important to remember that the car seat and stroller have to be compatible to work together. The manufacturer of the car seat should give guidelines on which strollers can be used with their product. A quick online search will help narrow your options.

Some strollers and car seats come with an immediate connection that snaps into place with no additional straps or a complicated installation procedure. This type of quick and easy attachment is a major benefit for families who frequently take public transport or ride-share vehicles. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat that can be converted to stroller with the press of a single button. This is a major time-saver and allows you to avoid gate-checking a stroller on airplanes (assuming you've also purchased an airline seat for your baby) or to hop into and out of taxis.

Other car seat and stroller combinations, like the Nuna TRVL, permit parents to remove the infant carrier from the base of the stroller and fold it into a compact unit that can be stored into the trunk of a car. This is a great feature for families with busy schedules and the stroller itself has a sleek design with top-quality fabrics and clever touches such as a built-in curtain canopy to shield a sleeping baby.

In the end, the ideal 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will depend on your preferences, lifestyle and growth plans and budget. The cheapest models tend to be frame strollers that can accommodate a car seat for a child with little extra space. More expensive combos will include a toddler seat, twin strollers, or more advanced features. You can be sure that the stroller meets all safety standards.

Easy to carry

These combos are perfect for families who want to avoid the hassle of checking the gate for the infant car seat while flying. They're also great for those who regularly take public transport or ride-shares.

When you're deciding on the best 2 in 1 stroller car seat, look for one that's lightweight and compact. These options have a smoother ride and are easier to push across different terrains. Additionally, the smaller frames can help you get the car seat in and out of a trunk or at the back of a vehicle.

A few of the most well-known car seat/stroller combinations are lightweight, compact and feature folding casters that can be stored easily. The Cosco Finale 2 in 1 travel system with car seat-in-1, for example, is a simple seat that can convert into a booster once the child no more requires an infant carrier. It's affordable, lightweight (12 pounds) and comes with LATCH straps that are user-friendly (we did not consider it a top pick for ease of installation).

Other 2 in 1 stroller car seats include the Doona It's a standout because it's a single piece equipment that transitions from an infant car seat that faces rearwards to a stroller in a few clicks. This lets you skip the step of getting your car seat removed from its base, and also makes it easier for you to navigate stairs or get in and out taxis without having your car seat stored.

The Doona is a cost-effective option that is particularly appealing for first-time parents. It's less than the cost of a year's gym membership, and it provides new parents with peace of mind knowing that they'll have a safe and secure travel kit for their baby.

Many families choose two-piece car seats/strollers If they're looking for an infant carrier from a certain brand or are planning to have more than one child. If this is the case, be sure to review the specifications of the product to ensure that the stroller 2in1 you choose and car seat will work in conjunction. Consider purchasing an adapter that will fit your preferred combination.

Easy to Fold

Car seat and stroller combos are a great option for parents who need only one piece of baby equipment that can serve multiple purposes. They are able to effortlessly switch 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 compact. "They contain fewer moving parts which makes them easy to fold, use, and transport."

Additionally, these types of strollers and infant car seats are usually lighter than two-piece models and fit in smaller trunks, making them easy to carry around.

Some have a swivel front wheel that is ideal for navigating sidewalks and shopping centers.

They are especially useful for parents who intend to use rideshares or public transportation, or shift between caregivers frequently. This model is essentially an rear-facing car seat with wheels. The wheels drop down to become a stroller when you want to use it.

Some brands, like the Evenflo Shyft DualRide allow you to click the car seat into the frame and then unfold it into a stroller. It's not as sleek as Doona however it does allow you to remove the car seat from the frame without having to click it into the base.

You should also consider whether a particular stroller and infant car seat combo will fit the car seat you prefer. If the stroller and infant car seat are compatible, then you can anticipate a longer-lasting product since it will be able to work with your child after they've outgrown the infant car seats.

It's important to understand that some stroller and car seats don't perform very well in our user-friendliness tests. This could be due to a design that makes it difficult or inconvenient to use steps, or the weight of the stroller and car seat could make it difficult to push across different terrains. It's worth reading our reviews to determine which model is the best for you.
