A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat

A 2-in-1 travel system that includes car seats gives parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant as well as stroller that work together. However they can be costly.

These combos let parents easily transfer a sleepy child from the car to the stroller, and vice versa, without waking them up. This is a great option for families that are constantly moving.

Comfort

Travel systems that include an infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from the car to stroller a breeze. Contrary to stroller-only systems, all-in-ones typically have an infant car seat and a stroller that can be linked and are suitable for 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 to a stroller for naptime walks.

While a two-in-one travel system with car seat could cost more than separate items however, you'll likely save time and money by buying the two items together. If you decide later on that the stroller and car seat aren't right for your family, most manufacturers offer adapters that allow you to use your selected car seat with a stroller (provided it meets the weight and height requirements).

When shopping for a travel set keep in mind that most of these sets come with an infant car-seat and stroller designed to work together. These are meant to be used during the first year. If you intend to keep the car seat after this period make sure you choose a model which has a convertible car-seat that can be used for toddlers and is able to support a higher weight limit.

Certain travel systems also come with a second seat that can serve as a booster seat for older kids. While this is a nice option, it's not a necessity and might not be feasible based on your life style.

If you're looking for a great travel system that will last for a few years, take a look at our top choices for car seats and strollers. Our editor-tested favorites, such as the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combo, have plenty of features that will help you and your baby stay comfortable. They feature a springy all-wheel suspension to ease the ride. The PIPA car seat also comes with a built-in drape canopy that can protect children who are snoozing. They also come with rigid LATCH connectors that can be used in vehicles that do not have a base, making it an ideal option for families that frequently use ride-share services or have two cars.

Convenience

Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for parents who frequently run errands or take their baby out on public transport like trains and buses. They allow you to easily move your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them.

Some of the best strollers and car seat combinations also allow you to convert them into a double when your family grows. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place to instantly transform into a sleek chariot for two. This feature is particularly important in the event that you plan to use the car seat for your baby's primary car seat.

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

A car seat/stroller combo is convenient, but you should also think about whether the infant car seats and strollers will work together as long as you require them to. Most car seat/stroller combo products feature rear-facing infant car seat designed to be used until your child reaches the age of one. The car seats do not snap onto a stroller when they're no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, such as Doona can be used as car seats for toddlers with an additional seatbelt booster once your child has outgrown the infant car seat, however, it is too large to fit in most traditional strollers.

The best combination is the combination of a stroller and car seat for babies to early childhood. If your child is out of the infant car seat you can change the travel system to an extra large stroller that can accommodate older toddlers and older children. Make sure that your infant car seat has been fitted correctly. Never remove it from your car without first untying the straps.

Safety

Car seats and strollers make it easy to move infants from the vehicle to the stroller, and back without disturbing them or having to awake them. Rothman says this is particularly beneficial when you're conducting errands or travel. To ensure your safety, opt for a car seat that attaches to the stroller using either an easy click or a rigid LATCH system. This will ensure the car seat is secure when in use and that it won't come loose or fall off during transportation. Car seat and stroller combos that can work without or with a base are also good alternatives for ride-share vehicles.

When purchasing a travel system make sure you check the weight and age limits for both the stroller and the car seat. Typically, the infant car seats in these systems are rear-facing, and are only designed for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. These car seats can be changed into a forward-facing car seat that can be used in a vehicle or converted into the stroller. It is important to study the labels and follow instructions precisely, advises Stanton particularly when it comes to ensuring your child is within the correct weight and height limits for both the car seat and the stroller.

While some parents prefer to buy separate items and build their own 2in1 travel system system, it's not unusual for companies to offer pre-packaged car seats and strollers combination sets. They're usually cheaper than buying the products separately. Sets like UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought after. The stroller is smooth ride, a springy suspension on all wheels, and a huge storage basket for all of your baby gear. The car seat is slim and has a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. It is quick and simple installation thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat has an adjustable headrest that can be adjusted in four positions with four harness settings, as well as padding to ensure your child's comfort. It is easy to clean and features one-hand fold, making it convenient to store.

Style

It's tempting to buy an accessory for travel to make it easier to transfer your child from the car to the stroller without waking them, however, that's not the only reason to buy one. You should also choose an option with a fashionable design, that is simple to use and has many other features for your child's comfort and yours.

The travel systems that are the most efficient include an infant car, stroller and car seat base in one package to make it easier for you to transition from your car to the street. They typically come with an all-in-one car seat that can be easily snapped into a stroller compatible with it. Some even have a bassinet for naps (safety studies have proven that babies sleep better in a reclining position).

Strollers and infant car seats that are compatible with 2-in-1 travel systems are lightweight sturdy, durable, and easy to fold and move. Look for models that have rubber tires and a swivel wheel at the front to allow for city streets as well as a large basket for cargo and can hold multiple shopping bags. For easy storage make sure to check how compact strollers and car seats can be when folded.

Certain travel systems allow you to change the infant car seat included with an adult car seat when your child is no longer using it. This gives you an additional 2 to 3 years of use. This is a great option if you plan to use the car seat for longer than one year, or your partner regularly uses ride-sharing services or commutes by bus or train.

The All-in-1 Car Seat and Stroller is a top option for families who want an all-in-one solution. It's easy to move from car seat to stroller, and back, with a built-in rigid LATCH system that locks the seat swiftly and securely in your car. It is also certified for air travel so you can hop onto and off public transportation with confidence. The All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller can also be converted to double strollers, allowing you to take your baby on adventures around the world. It is available in a range of vibrant colors that fit in with any outfit.
