A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A 2-in-1 travel system that includes car seats provides parents with the convenience of a car seat for their infant and a stroller which work in tandem. However, they can be expensive. These combos let parents easily move a sleeping child from the car to the stroller and in reverse, without disturbing them. This is a great option for families who spend much of their time on the go. Comfort Travel systems with an infant car seat are a great option to make the transition from the car to stroller a breeze. Unlike pushchairs 2 in 1 -only combinations, these all-in-ones usually have an infant car seat and a stroller that click together, and can be used with toddlers as well as newborns. Many of the car-and stroller combinations on our list include a bassinet that can be used as a safe alternative to a traditional stroller during naptime walks. While a 2-in-1 travel system that includes a car seat could cost more than separate items but you'll probably save time and money by purchasing them as a set. If you decide that the car seat and stroller are not right for your family there are adaptors for most brands to allow you to use the car seat in conjunction with a different stroller. When shopping for a travel set, keep in mind that most of these sets include an infant car-seat and a stroller that are designed to work together. These are meant to be used in the first year. If you plan to keep the car seat after this period you should choose a model that has a convertible car-seat that can be used by toddlers and has a higher maximum weight. Some travel systems also have a second seat that can serve as a booster for older children. This is a great feature, but it might not be suitable for your lifestyle. If you're looking to purchase a travel system that will last a few years, check out our top choices for car seats and strollers. The UPPAbaby, a favorite of our editors, PIPA stroller and car seat combination have numerous features that will keep you and your child comfortable. These products have springy all-wheel suspensions to smooth the ride and the PIPA car seat comes with an integrated drape canopy for protecting a snoozing child. These seats also have rigid LATCH connectors which can be used on vehicles that do not have a base. This makes them a great option for families who frequently ride-sharing services or have two vehicles. Convenience These are great for parents who frequently do errands, or transport their children on public transport such as trains and buses. They allow you to easily move your sleeping newborn from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them. Some of the most effective stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed to a double as you have a growing family. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, which features an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place, instantly transforming them into a sleek chariot that can accommodate two. This is especially important if your car seat is your baby's primary vehicle seat. Other car seat and stroller combos have more complex conversion methods that may require you to manually snap the infant car seat onto the stroller or use the straps attached to the base to secure it. In our testing this method was generally harder to master than the one-step procedure of the Doona. If you misplace or forget the straps, it can pose a safety hazard. A combination of a car seat and stroller is a great option however, you must consider whether the infant car seats and strollers can be used together for in the time you need them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos utilize rear-facing infant car seats designed to be used until your child is the age of 1. These car seats don't snap onto a stroller when they're no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seats and strollers like the Doona can be used as a toddler car seat with the seat belt booster when your child outgrows the car seat that was designed for infants, but is too tall for the standard strollers. Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for newborns through the early years of childhood. Once your child outgrows the infant car seats it is recommended to consider purchasing a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a bigger model that can handle older children and toddlers. Also, remember that you must always make sure your infant car seat is installed correctly and never take it from the vehicle without removing the straps first. Safety The combination of the car seat and stroller allows for easy transfer of infants from a vehicle to a stroller, and reverse the process without disturbing them or waking them up. This is particularly useful when you're doing errands or traveling, says Rothman. To ensure safety, choose an automobile seat that connects to a stroller with a rigid LATCH system or a click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat will be secured during use and won't fall off or loosen during transit. Car seat and stroller combinations that can be used with or without a base are also good alternatives for ride-share vehicles. When looking for a new stroller, make sure you know the age and weight limits of both the car seat and the stroller. Typically, the infant car seats that are included in these systems are rear-facing and only designed for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. Many of these car seats then switch to a forward-facing seat that will stay in the vehicle or can snap into a stroller that is compatible. Stanton insists that you be aware of all labels and directions, especially when it's time to ensure your child is in compliance with the weight and height requirements of the car seat as well as 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 seats and strollers combination sets. They're usually cheaper than purchasing the items separately. Sets such as UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are highly sought after. The stroller has smooth riding with springy suspension on all wheels and a large basket that can be used to store all of your baby's equipment. The car seat is slim and comes with a SafeCell crumple area for added security. It has a quick and simple installation thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat comes with a headrest that is adjustable in four positions with four harness settings, as well as a padded insert to ensure your child's safety. It is easy to clean and it folds with one hand. Style It's tempting to purchase a travel system that makes it easier to move your child from the car to the stroller, without waking them up, however, that's not the only reason to buy one. You should also look for one with a sleek design, which is simple to use, and that has many other features to ensure your child's safety and for your own. The most effective travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one box to allow an effortless transition from car to street. pushchairs 2 in 1 come with a single-piece infant car seat that snaps into a stroller that is compatible, and some even offer a bassinet attachment for strolls to nap (safety research has shown that babies sleep best when in a reclined position). Strollers and infant cars seats that work with 2-in-1 travel systems are lightweight, durable, and easy to maneuver and fold. Find models with rubber tires with a swivel wheels on the front to allow for city streets as well as a large basket for cargo and can hold multiple shopping bags. You also want to check how small the car seat and stroller can be folded to make storage easier. Certain travel systems let you replace the included infant car seat with a toddler one after your child has outgrown it, which gives you an extra 1-2 years of use. This is a great option when you're planning to use the car seat for more than one year, or if your partner frequently uses ride-sharing services or commutes by bus or train. The All-in-1 Car Seat and Stroller is a top choice for families who want an all-in-one solution. It's easy to transfer from the car seat to the stroller, and back, with a built-in rigid LATCH system that locks the seat quickly and safely in your car. It's also certified for air travel, so you can hop on and off public transport with ease. The All-in-One Car Seat & Stroller can be transformed into a double stroller so that you can take your child on excursions around the world. It's also available in a variety of vibrant colors to match any outfit.
