A 2 in 1 stroller car seat in 1 Travel System

If you want to get around with ease or create a modern version of the pram, the car seat and stroller combination is the best choice. Take a look at the specifications carefully to ensure that the car seat you choose and pushchair work together, or you could consider purchasing an adaptor.

Editor-tested travel systems let you move your sleeping newborn seamlessly from the car to the stroller, without disrupting them. Some travel systems come with the option of a carrycot that encourages the natural sleep.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel set includes a stroller and a baby car seat that snap together. It's a convenience for caregivers and parents who often run errands while with their infant or take their little one out on public transportation or rideshares. "You have less equipment to deal with," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families that switch between public transportation and carpooling with other moms."

Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a top option, with 90 percent of Amazon reviews giving five stars. It's a rear facing car seat that can be converted into a stroller with wheels in seconds. When not in use, the wheels can be folded down and it's a compact. The Doona also attaches to a car's backseat using the LATCH base that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt paths making it perfect for commuters and city families.

The Mamas and Papas Pramette is another top car seat/stroller combination, featuring a pram with a hood and front seats that open for you to lay your child down for naps or feedings. It comes with a huge basket, cup holders and an umbrella shade for your baby's essentials. The stroller seat is able to recline in multiple positions, and it can even be flat and your baby will be comfortable for every ride.

The weight and height limits are also important. Also, consider whether the infant car seat can only be used with a backseat belt or when it has a sturdy LATCH system that is built-in. Also, look for a locking mechanism on the handle to keep it secure in place, as well as the possibility of tilting the handle towards the back of the seatback to make an anti-rebound bar.

It's worth noting that travel systems are only compatible with infant car seats--and extended-use car seats that can later be made forward-facing snap into strollers. For this reason, many moms opt to get an additional car seat and stroller when their child is no longer in the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is an essential piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems come with a baby pram that transforms into a comfortable infant carrycot so your little one can sleep peacefully in the car, making them ideal for newborns and parents who do not want to disturb their children when traveling. Some brands also offer the option of a car seat and stroller combination that can be linked. This allows you to keep your child in the car seat and then transfer them to the stroller without disturbing them.

A good stroller should have numerous features that make it easy to use and practical. It should come with an ample basket for storing essential items such as nappies as well as toys and snacks. It must also recline so that your baby can rest comfortably. It should also have an umbrella to protect your child from the sun and a lockable wheel on the front for safety. It should also be light and compact to store it in and transportation to and from the vehicle.

Editor-tested travel system strollers such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all have the benefit of connecting to a variety of top car seats that click to attach to the frame and fold with ease. Some have one wheel on each leg, making them easier to maneuver and roll over different surfaces.

Ideal strollers should be capable of carrying your child throughout toddlerhood and beyond, so that you can continue to use it to take them to and from events like school, play dates, and so on. When your child outgrows their car seat, you should look for a stroller that has a seat facing the world and reclines.

If you are planning to use your 2-in-1 travel system on public transport, look for one with an ISOFIX base, which makes it safe to take off and on buses or trains. Some models, like the Doona, can even be mounted on trains and planes to make traveling with a baby even more convenient.
