Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The best car seat stroller combinations are so simple to attach that it almost feels like they do it themselves. "Look for an appropriate base and a carrier that snap together easily," advises Stanton. This will reduce the risk of mistakes that could occur during the installation process and detachment.

One option that can do this is the Doona, which seamlessly transforms from a car seat into a stroller, and also frees up trunk space. Online reviewers love the Doona's functionality and ease of use but they also praise its robust feel.

Easy to Assemble

Parents who don't want to switch between strollers and car seats often find a mix of both attractive. This is also a good option for parents who use public transportation or rideshares often and who switch caregivers. Stanton says that since they are a single item and the wheels are attached, the car seats are more portable. Stanton suggests to secure the car seat correctly when using an air travel system. She advises you to follow the manufacturer's instructions and the owner's manual of your vehicle for an ideal fit.

In our tests, we found that the best stroller-car seat combos have a simple click-in connection, that requires no effort beyond moving the car seat from one place to another. These models scored higher than those with more complicated connections, because they require less pressure and offer fewer opportunities for errors (intentional or accidental). For instance, we love that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo has a simple drop-in attachment that has no straps--and that there's an indicator on the car seat base that tells you when it's level.

Similarly, the Doona All-in-One Stroller for Infants is simple to set up and move from vehicle to stroller. It's a seamless change that allows extra trunk space to shop and run errands. It also has a swivel steering wheel on the front that allows for excellent mobility even when the seat attached.

Another alternative is Britax B Lively & B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It features an elongated chassis that is springy and a large fold-down chassis that makes it easy to store. It comes with a large basket, as well as plenty of cups for drinks, snacks and baby gear. Its cushioned seat is comfortable for long trips and the tagless, smooth-touch knit fabric is machine washable. It is FAA-approved, and comes with a safety strap that locks beneath or around the shoulders of your baby. It also comes with a SafeCell Crumple Zone to protect the child in case of an accident.

A good travel system will also be easy to push and use, and our top picks all have rubber tires that have one, swivel front wheel that can be used to navigate busy streets and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, the BOB Alterrain Pro, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 pram and car seat Combo all glide smoothly and come with useful features, such as one-hand brakes and a large storage basket.

Easy to Store

Parents who want their baby to be as comfortable as they can should consider a car seat stroller combination, regardless of whether they are running errands for the day or taking a family trip. Car seat and stroller combinations are often more maneuverable than separate pieces, and most models are equipped with convenient features that make them distinct from other models. It is important to keep in mind that the car seat needs to be compatible with the stroller to work together. The car seat manufacturer should give guidelines on which strollers are compatible with their products. A quick online search will help narrow your options.

Some strollers and car seats feature a direct connection that snaps in place without any straps or an intricate installation procedure. This type of easy attachment is a major selling point, and is particularly helpful for families who often use ride-share cars or public transportation. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat that can be converted into stroller with the click of a single button. This is a time-saving feature and allows you to avoid having your stroller checked at the gate on planes (assuming you've purchased an airline chair for your baby) or to hop in and out of taxis.

Other stroller and car seat combos, like the Nuna TRVL, allow parents to remove the infant carrier from the base of the stroller and easily fold it into a compact unit that fits in the trunk of a vehicle. This is another great feature for families with busy schedules and the stroller has a sleek profile with top-quality fabrics and clever touches, like a built-in drape canopy to shield a sleeping baby.

The best 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will depend on your preferences, lifestyle, plans for growth, and budget. The cheapest models are likely to be frame strollers that accommodate a car seat with the smallest amount of space. On the other hand, higher-end combos may include a toddler seat or a twin stroller and offer more advanced features. You can be sure that the stroller is compliant with all safety requirements.

Easy to carry

Car seat/stroller combinations are a ideal option for families who want to avoid gate-checking an infant car seat when flying and are also ideal for those who use ride-shares and public transportation frequently. These strollers and car seats are easy to carry and are perfect for parents who want their hands free when traveling with their children.

When you're deciding on the best 2 in 1 stroller car seat, choose one that's lightweight and compact. These options roll more smoothly and can be easier to push over different terrains. Furthermore, the smaller frames can help you get the car seat into and out of a trunk or the back of a vehicle.

Some of the most popular and highly rated car seat/stroller combos are compact, lightweight and have wheels that fold to make it easy to store. For instance the Cosco Finale 2 in 1 carrycot and pushchair-in-1 is an easy-to-use seat that converts from a rear-facing five-point harness to a booster for kids who are no longer in a baby carrier. It's reasonably priced, light (12 pounds), and features LATCH straps that are user-friendly (we did not rate it as the best option for its ease of installation).

Other 2 in 1 stroller car seats include the Doona that is unique because it's a single piece equipment that transitions from a rear-facing infant car seat to a stroller with just a few clicks. This allows you to skip the step of removing the seat from the base and makes it much easier to navigate stairs or hop in taxis without having to put away the car seat.

Doonas are an excellent affordable option, especially for first-time parents. It's cheaper than the cost of an annual gym membership, and it gives new parents assurance that they're equipped with safe travel gear for their baby.

Many families opt for a two-piece stroller/car seat system in the event that they have decided on a particular model of infant carrier, or have plans to have several children. If that's your scenario, be sure to review the specifications of the product to ensure that the stroller you choose and car seat work in tandem. Consider buying an adapter to match your preferred combination.

Easy to Fold

Car seat and stroller combos are an excellent choice for parents looking for one piece of baby gear which can perform multiple functions. They are able to effortlessly switch from being a car seat to a stroller, and back to a car seat, and are generally more maneuverable than two-piece travel systems. "They're designed to be more easily mobile," says Stanton. "They contain fewer moving parts which makes them more compact to fold and use as well as carry."

These strollers and car seats for infants are lighter than two-piece models, and they can be easily transported in small trunks. These strollers and infant car seats tend to be lighter and come with more convenient features, such as sun shades and cup holders. Some have a swivel wheel on the front, which can be used to navigate busy streets and stores.

Some brands, like Doona provide an all-in-one baby car seat and stroller solutions. These are especially beneficial for parents who take public transportation or rideshares, or who have to change caregivers frequently. This model is essentially a rear-facing car seat on wheels. The wheels can be lowered to become a stroller when you wish to use it.

Other brands, like the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to insert the car seat and then unfold it into the shape of a stroller. This model isn't as streamlined as Doona, but it does allow you to remove the car seat from the frame without having to click it into the base.

It is also important to consider whether a particular stroller or infant car seat combo will accommodate your preferred car seat brand. If it is compatible, you can expect to get longer-lasting use from the product since it will continue to work with your child as they grow out of the infant car seat.

It's also important to note that some car seat and stroller combos do not perform well in our tests for ease of use. This could be due to a design which makes it difficult to navigate stairs or because the weight and size of the egg stroller 2 in 1/car seat can make it difficult to push. In either situation, it's worth checking out our full reviews to find the best option for you.
