A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat

A pram 2 in 1 uk-in-1 travel set-up with car seats provides parents with the convenience of a car seat for their infant, as well as a stroller that can work in tandem. They can be expensive.

These combos allow parents to easily move a sleeping child from the car to the stroller, and reverse the process, without disturbing them. This is a great option for families who are always moving.

Comfort

If you're looking for an easy way to transition your baby from car to stroller without disturbing them, a travel system with the stroller seat as well as an infant car seat might be the thing you're looking for. These all-in-ones differ from stroller-only combinations because they usually include an infant car seat in addition to the stroller. They can be used for both infants and older children. Many of the car-and stroller combinations that make our list also have a bassinet attached, which can be used as an alternative to a traditional stroller 2in1 for walks during naptime.

While a two-in-one travel system with car seat might cost more than separate items but you'll probably save time and money by purchasing the two items together. If you decide that the car seat and stroller aren't right for your family later, most brands have adaptors that allow you to use the car seat with another stroller.

One thing to be aware of when looking for a travel system is that they typically include a car seat for infants and a stroller that is designed to work in tandem, which is designed to be used during the first 12 months. If you are planning on keeping the seat and using it after this period, look for a model that has an convertible car seat that can be used as a toddler's seat and has a greater weight limit.

Some travel systems also feature an additional seat that can serve as a booster seat for older children. While this is a nice option, it's not a necessity and may not be practical based on your lifestyle.

Tested by our editors, favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combination have numerous features that will keep you and your child comfortable. These products feature springy all-wheel-suspension to make the ride more comfortable. The PIPA car seat also features a built-in drape canopy that protects children who are snoozing. They also come with rigid LATCH connectors that can be used with vehicles that do not have a base, making it a perfect choice for families who frequently use ride-sharing services or have two cars.

Convenience

These combos are ideal for parents who often run errands or take their babies on public transportation such as trains and buses. They allow you to easily move your baby who is sleeping in the car to the stroller without disturbing them or waking them up.

Some of the best stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed to a double as you grow your family. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pushchair pram Combo, which features an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place, instantly transforming into a sleek chariot two. This is particularly important if your car seat will be the sole vehicle seat for your baby.

Other stroller-car seat combos may have more complex conversion methods. You may need to manually connect the car seat to stroller or attach straps to the base to secure it. This method was more difficult to master in our testing than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you forget or lose the straps, it can pose a safety hazard.

A combination of a car seat and stroller is a great option but you must think about whether the strollers and infant car seats will work together in the time you need them to. Most car seat/stroller combination products are rear-facing only infant car seats that are designed to be used up until your child is 1. These car seats do not connect to strollers once they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller models such as the Doona can be used as a car seat for toddlers with the seat belt booster when your child has outgrown the infant car seat but is too tall for the standard strollers.

The best 2 in 1 prams combination is an infant car seat and a stroller for newborns to early childhood. Once your child outgrows the car seats for infants it is recommended to consider buying a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a bigger model that can accommodate toddlers and older children. Keep in mind that you must always make sure the infant car seat is installed correctly and never remove it from your vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

Car seat and stroller combos make it easy to move infants from the vehicle to the stroller and back without disturbing them or needing to get them up. Rothman says this is especially useful when you are doing errands or traveling. For added security, look for a car seat that attaches to the stroller via a simple click or rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat is secure when it's in use and that it will not fall off or fall off during transport. Combinations of strollers and car seats that be used with or without a base are good alternatives for ride-share vehicles.

When looking for a new travel system, check the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat as well as the stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats which are only intended for use for the first 12 months of the child's life. These car seats can be converted into a forward-facing car seat that can be used in the vehicle, or snapped into the stroller. It's important to read the labels and follow the instructions carefully, adds Stanton especially when it comes to ensuring your child is within the appropriate weight and height requirements for both the car seat as well as the stroller.

Some parents prefer buying separate items to create their own travel system and others prefer to buy pre-packaged stroller and car seats It is not unusual to see companies offer these sets. These sets are generally less expensive than purchasing them individually. For example, UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller offers smooth riding with suspension that is all-wheel and springy, and a large basket to hold all your baby's equipment. The car seat is low-profile and comes with a SafeCell crumple zone to provide additional security. It's a simple and easy install, thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat has a headrest that can be adjusted in four positions and four harness heights as well as padding to ensure your child's comfort. It is easy to clean, and folds with just one hand.

Style

It's tempting to buy a travel system that makes it easier to transfer your child from the car to the stroller without disturbing them, but that's not the primary reason to consider buying one. You should also choose one with a sleek design, that is easy to maneuver and has many other features to ensure your child's comfort as well as yours.

The best 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. They usually have a one-piece infant car seat that snaps into a compatible stroller and some offer an attachment for a bassinet for strolls to nap (safety research has shown that babies sleep best when in an upright position).

Strollers and infant car seats that work with 2-in-1 travel systems are light sturdy, durable, and easy to fold and move. Look for models that have rubber tires, a swivel wheel on the front for city streets as well as a large basket for cargo and can hold multiple shopping bags. You also want to check how compact the stroller and car seat fold to make it easier to store them.

Some travel systems let you replace the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat when your child has outgrown it. This allows for an additional two years of use. This is a great option when you're planning to use the car seat for more than one year, or your partner frequently uses ride-sharing services or commutes by train or bus.

Graco's All-in One Car Seat and Stroller makes a great choice for families looking for an all-in one.
