A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system that includes a car seat gives parents the convenience of having an infant car seat and stroller that work together. They can be costly.

These combinations make it easy for parents to transport a sleeping baby from the car to the stroller and back again without waking them. This is a great option for families who are always on the move.

Comfort

Travel systems with a stroller and an infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from car to stroller easy. Unlike stroller-only combinations, these all-in-ones usually have an infant car seat as well as a stroller that can be linked and can be used with toddlers as well as newborns. Many of the car-and-stroller combinations that make our list also have a bassinet attached and can be used as a safe alternative for a traditional stroller during naptime walks.

A 2 in 1 travel system that includes a car seat will cost more than purchasing the two items separately, however you'll save time and money by purchasing them all together. If you decide that the stroller and car seat aren't right for your family later the majority of brands have adaptors that allow you to use the car seat with an alternative stroller.

When looking for a travel set, be aware that a majority of these sets include an infant car-seat and stroller designed to work together. These are meant to be used in the first year. If you plan to keep the seat after this time make sure you choose a model which has a convertible car-seat that can be used for toddlers and has a greater weight limit.

Certain travel systems also come with an additional seat that can serve as a booster seat for older children. While this is a great option however, it's not necessary and might not be practical based on your lifestyle.

If you're looking for a great travel system that will last for a few years, take a look at our top picks for car seats as well as strollers. Tested by our editors, favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combination have many features that will keep you and your child in a comfortable position. They feature a springy all-wheel suspension to ease the ride. The PIPA car seat also has a built in drape canopy that protects the baby who is sleeping. These products also feature LATCH connectors that are rigid and can be used on cars that don't have a base. This is a great choice for families that frequently use ride-share or have two cars.

Convenience

These combos are ideal for parents who do errands, or transport their babies on public transport like buses and trains. It is easy to transfer your baby's sleeping body from the car to a stroller without disturbing or wake them up.

Some of the best stroller and car seat combinations also allow you to convert them into a double as your family expands. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pram and pushchair Combo which comes with an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot two. This is particularly important if the car seat is the sole vehicle seat for your baby.

Other car seat and stroller combinations have more complicated conversion methods that may require you to manually connect the car seat of your infant onto the stroller or use straps that are attached to the base to hold it in place. In our tests, this method was often harder to master than the single-step method of the Doona. If you misplace or forget the straps, it can pose a safety hazard.

While a combination of a car seat and stroller is convenient, you should take into consideration whether the stroller and infant car seat can work together for the time you need 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 turns one. The car seats do not attach to strollers when they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller models such as the Doona is able to be used as a toddler car seat with a seat belt booster after your child is no longer in the infant car seat but is too tall to fit into most traditional strollers.

Car seat/stroller combinations are best for newborns through the early years of childhood. When your child has grown out of the infant car seat, you can replace the travel system with a larger stroller that can accommodate older toddlers and older children. Also, keep in mind that you must ensure the infant car seat is set up correctly and never take it from the vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

Car seats and strollers allow you to easily move infants from the vehicle to the stroller and back again without disturbing them or having to awake them. This is particularly useful when you're doing errands or traveling, according to Rothman. To ensure your safety, opt for a car seat that is attached to the stroller with either an easy click or a rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain safe while being used and won't fall off or become loose during the course of transport. Combinations of car seats and stroller that can be used without or with the base are also an excellent option for vehicles with ride-sharing.

When purchasing a travel set be sure to verify the weight and age restrictions for both the stroller and the car seat. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats which are designed to be used during the first 12 months of a child's life. Many of these car seats then switch to a forward-facing seat that will stay in the car or be converted into a stroller compatible with it. It is important to be aware of the labels and follow instructions with care, says Stanton, especially when it comes to making sure your child's height and weight are within the appropriate weight and height limits for both the car seat as well as the stroller.

While some parents prefer to purchase separate products and create their own travel system, it's not uncommon for companies to offer pre-packaged car seats and strollers combination sets. They are usually priced lower than buying the items individually. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought after. The stroller offers a smooth ride, a springy suspension on all wheels, and a huge storage basket for everything you need for your baby. The car seat is low profile and comes with a SafeCell crumple zone for added security. It has a quick and simple installation, 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 an insert that is cushioned to ensure your child's comfort. It is easy to clean and folds with just one hand.

Style

While it's tempting to purchase an infant travel system due to the convenience of moving your child from car to stroller and back again without waking them up, it's not the only reason to look into one. You should also look for one with a sleek design, which is easy to maneuver, and that has many other features to ensure your child's safety and for your own.

The best travel systems best include an infant car, stroller and car seat base in one package to make it easier for you to move from your car to the street. They typically feature a one-piece infant car seat that snaps easily into a stroller compatible with it and some include the option of a bassinet attachment to allow naptime strolls (safety research suggests that babies sleep best in reclined positions).

Strollers and infant cars seats that work with 2-in-1 travel systems are light and durable. They are also easy to maneuver and fold. Find models with rubber tires and a swivel wheel at the front to allow for city streets, a large cargo basket, and can accommodate multiple shopping bags. To make it easier to store your items, you should also check how small car seats and strollers can be when folded.

Some travel systems let you replace the infant car seat with an adult car seat when your child has outgrown it. This allows you to enjoy an additional 1-2 in 1 pushchairs years use. That's a great option if you're planning on using the car seat for more than one year, or your partner regularly uses ride-share services or commutes via train or bus.

Graco’s All-in One Car Seat and Stroller makes a great choice for families looking for a solution that is all-in one. The integrated rigid system of LATCH allows you to easily switch between car seats and strollers and back. It is also certified for air 2in1 travel system, so you can board and off public transportation with confidence. The All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller can also be converted into a double stroller, which allows you to take your little one to the world. It's also available in a range of vibrant colors to match any outfit.
