Car Seat and Stroller Combos The best car stroller and seat combos almost feel like they attach themselves. Stanton suggests: “Look for a base that is simple to click with the carrier.” This reduces the chance of mistakes that could occur during the installation process and detachment. Doona is one option that lets you accomplish this. It effortlessly transforms from a car seat to stroller, and frees up space in your trunk. Reviewers on the internet love the Doona's features and ease of use, but they also praise its robust feel. Easy to Assemble Parents who don't want to change between car seats and strollers often find a mix of both attractive.

In our tests, we found that the best stroller and car seat combos have a simple click-in connection that requires little effort beyond moving the carrier from one to another. These models scored higher compared to models with more complicated connections due to the fact that they require less pressure and have fewer opportunities for mistakes, whether intentional or accidental. We like, for example, the fact that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in accessory that requires no straps, and has a gauge at the bottom of the car seat that shows whether the seat is level properly. Similarly, the Doona All-in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller is easy to set up and then transfer from car to stroller.

A good travel system must also be easy to push. Our top picks feature rubber tires and a single, rotating wheel at the front for navigating busy sidewalks and streets. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro are all smooth-gliding and have useful features like one-hand braking and an ample storage basket. Easy to store Parents who want their baby to be as comfortable as possible will be better off with a car seat and stroller combination, whether running errands or going on an outing with the family. Stroller-car seat combos are easier to maneuver than separate items, and many models have convenient features that distinguish them from the rest. It's important to remember that the car seat must be compatible with the stroller in order for them to work together. The manufacturer of the car seat should provide guidelines for strollers that are compatible with their product. A quick search on the internet can help you narrow down your options. Certain strollers and car seats have an easy connection that snaps into place without any straps or a complex installation process. This type of quick and easy attachment is a major benefit for families who frequently utilize public transportation or ride-share vehicles. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat that can be converted to stroller with the click of a single button. This is a time-saving feature and helps you avoid gate-checking your stroller on planes (assuming that you've also purchased an airline chair for your infant) or to hop in and out of a taxi. Other stroller and car seat combinations, like the Nuna TRVL, permit parents to remove the infant carrier from the stroller's base and easily fold it into a compact size that can be tucked away inside the trunk of a car. This is a fantastic feature for parents with a busy schedule. The stroller itself is sleek and stylish, with premium fabrics, and smart features such as a built-in drape canopy that protects the baby from sleeping. The best 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will be contingent on your preferences, lifestyle, plans for growth, and your budget.

In addition, the smaller frame can aid in getting the car seat into and out of a trunk, or the back of a vehicle. A few of the most well-known car seats/strollers are lightweight compact and foldable casters for easy storage. The Cosco Finale 2-in-1, for instance is a basic seat that can be converted into a booster once the child no longer requires an infant carrier. It's affordable, lightweight (12 pounds) and has LATCH straps that are relatively easy to use (we didn't score it as the best option for ease of assembly). The Doona is a second 2 in 1 stroller/car seat that's worth to be mentioned. It's a unique piece of equipment because it can be converted from a rear facing infant car seat to a stroller simply by pressing the button.

Many families choose two-piece stroller/car seat systems when they're deciding on a particular brand of infant carrier or have plans to have several children. If that's the situation, make sure you review the specifications of the product to ensure that the stroller you choose and car seat work in conjunction. Consider buying an adapter to fit your desired combination. Easy to Fold The car seat and stroller combination is a great option for parents seeking a single piece that can be used for multiple purposes. They are able to effortlessly switch from being a car seat to a stroller and then back to a car seat, and are generally more maneuverable than two-piece travel systems. Stanton says that they are designed to be more portable. “They have a lot fewer moving parts, which means they're more compact to fold, carry, and use.” These strollers and car seats for infants are also lighter than two-piece models and can be easily transported in small trunks. They also tend to have a larger cargo basket and more convenient features like cup holders and sun shades. Some have a swivel front wheel which is great for navigating busy sidewalks and shopping centers.

If the stroller and infant car seat are compatible, then you can expect a more durable product as it will fit your child after they've outgrown their infant car seats. However, it's important to know that certain stroller and car seats aren't performing well in our tests of ease-of-use. This could be because of the design that makes it difficult to navigate stairs or because the weight and size of the stroller/car seat could make it more difficult to push. It's worth reading our reviews to determine which model is the best for you.
