A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A 2-in-1 travel set-up with car seats offers parents 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 child asleep from the car to the stroller, and vice versa, without waking them up. This is a great option for families that spend a lot of time in the car. Comfort If you're looking for an easy way to transfer your baby from car to stroller without awakening them, a travel system with an infant stroller seat and a stroller car seat could be what you're looking for. These are different from stroller-only models because they usually include an infant car seat and the stroller. They can be used for both newborns and older children. Many of the car seat-and-stroller combinations on our list come with a bassinet attachment as well which is a safe alternative to a traditional stroller for naps. While a 2 in 1 travel system that includes a car seat could cost more than separate products but you'll probably save time and money by purchasing them as a set. If you decide that the stroller and car seat are not right for your family later there are adaptors for most brands that let you use the car seat with a different stroller. One important thing to remember when you are shopping for a travel set is that these sets usually comprise an infant car seat and a stroller made to work together, which is intended to be used for the first 12 months. If you plan on keeping the seat after this time, choose a model that has a convertible car-seat that can be used for toddlers and is able to support a higher weight limit. Certain travel systems also come with an additional seat that can serve as a booster for older children. While this is a great option, it's not a necessity and might not be practical based on your lifestyle. If you're looking to purchase a travel system that will last a few years, check out our top picks for car seats and strollers. Our editors' top picks include the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combination come with a variety of features that will ensure that you and your baby stay comfortable. They have a springy all-wheel suspension that smooths the ride and the PIPA car seat has a built-in drape canopy to shield a sleepy child. These seats also come with rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on vehicles that do not have a base. This is a great choice for families that frequently use ride-sharing or have two cars. Convenience These are great for parents who often do errands, or transport their babies on public transport such as trains and buses. They allow you to easily move your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing or awakening them. Some of the best stroller and car seat combinations allow you to transform them into a double as your family grows. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, which features an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot that can accommodate two. This is especially crucial if the car seat will be your baby's sole vehicle seat. Other stroller-car seat combos may have more complicated conversion procedures. You may have to manually snap the car seat onto stroller or use straps attached to the base to ensure it is secured. 2in1 pram was more difficult to master during our testing than the Doona's one-step conversion. It can pose an accident hazard in the event that you lose or forget to attach the straps before using the travel system. A car seat/stroller combination is convenient but you must think about whether the infant car seats and strollers will work together as long as you require them to. The majority of car seats and strollers are rear-facing only infant car seats that are designed to be used up until your child is 1. These car seats don't attach to strollers when they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller product, such as Doona can be used as toddler car seats that come with an additional seatbelt booster once your child is no longer in the infant car seat, but is too big to fit into traditional strollers. The ideal combination is an infant car seat and a stroller for infants and children in the early years of childhood. When your child has grown out of the infant car seat, you can change the travel system to an extra large stroller that can accommodate older children and toddlers. Always make sure your infant car seat has been fitted correctly. Do not remove it from your car without first untying the straps. Safety The combination of the car seat and stroller makes it easy to transfer infants from a vehicle to a stroller, and vice versa without disturbing them or waking them up. Rothman states that this is especially beneficial when you're conducting errands or travel. To ensure extra safety, choose a car seat that is attached to a stroller via an incredibly strong LATCH system or click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat will be secure while in use, and will not fall off or come loose in transportation. Car seat and stroller combos that can work with or without a base are good options for ride-share vehicles. When you are looking for a travel system, check the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat and stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seat that are only intended for use during the first 12 months of the child's life. Many of these car seats transition to a forward-facing car seat that is able to remain in the vehicle or snap into a stroller that is compatible. It's important to read the labels and follow instructions carefully, adds Stanton, especially when it comes to making sure your child's height and weight are within the correct weight and height guidelines for both the car seat and the stroller. While some parents prefer to buy separate items to build their own travel system, others prefer pre-packaged stroller and car seats it is not unusual for companies to sell these sets. 2 in 1 prams are typically less expensive than purchasing them individually. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought-after. The stroller offers a smooth ride, springy suspension on all wheels, and a huge storage basket to store everything you need for your baby. The car seat has a low profile and comes with a SafeCell crumple zone for added protection. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to put in. The car seat comes with a four-position headrest, four harness heights and an insert that is cushioned for your child's comfort. It is easy to clean and features a 1-hand fold, which makes it easy to store. Style It's tempting to purchase an accessory for travel to make it easier to move your child from the car to the stroller, without waking them up, however, that's not the only reason to think about buying one. You should also look for an option with a fashionable design, which is easy to move around, and that has many other features to ensure your child's safety and for your own. The best travel systems most effective include an infant car stroller, car seat and stroller base all in one box to help you to move from your car to the street. They typically come with a single car seat that can be easily snapped into a stroller that is compatible with it. Some even have an infant bassinet to sleep in (safety studies have proven that babies sleep better when they are in a reclining position). Strollers and infant car seats that integrate with 2-in-1 travel systems are light and durable. 2 in 1 pram are also easy to fold and maneuver. Find models with rubber tires and a swivel wheel at the front to allow for city streets as well as a large basket for cargo and the capacity to hold several shopping bags. For easy storage it is important to know how small car seats and strollers are when folded. Certain travel systems allow you to change the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat once your child is no longer using it. This allows for an additional two years of use. This is a great option if you're planning to use the car seat for longer than one year, or your partner regularly uses ride-share services or commutes by train or bus.
