A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat
A 2-in-1 travel system that includes car seats offers parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant, as well as stroller that are able to work together. However they can be costly.
These combos allow parents to easily move a child asleep from the car to the stroller, and vice versa, without waking them up. 2 in 1 carrycot and pushchair is a great choice for families that spend the majority of their time in the car.
Comfort
If you're looking for an easy way to transfer your baby from the car to stroller without disturbing them an infant car seat, a travel system that includes a stroller seat and infant car seat could be the thing you're looking for. Contrary to stroller-only systems, all-in-ones typically include an infant car seat as well as a stroller that click together and are suitable for toddlers and newborns. Many of the car seats and strollers combos that make our list include an attachment for a bassinet, which can be an alternative to a traditional stroller for walks during naptime.
While a 2 in 1 travel system with car seat may cost more than separate products but you'll probably save time and money if you buy them all in one package. If you decide that the stroller and car seat are not right for your family there are adaptors for most brands that let you use the car seat in conjunction with a different stroller.
One important thing to remember when shopping for a travel system is that they typically include a car seat for infants and a stroller designed to work together, and is intended to be used during the first 12 months. If you plan on keeping the car seat after this period make sure you choose a model which includes a convertible car seat that is suitable for toddlers and is able to support a higher maximum weight.
Certain travel systems also come with an additional seat that can be used as a booster for older kids. This is a great option, but it may not be suitable for your particular lifestyle.

They feature a springy all-wheel suspension to make the ride more comfortable. The PIPA car seat also comes with a built in drape canopy that protects the baby who is sleeping. They also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used with vehicles without a base, making it a great option for families who regularly use ride-sharing services or have two cars.
Convenience
Car seat/stroller combos are great for parents who regularly run errands or take their baby out on public transportation such as trains and buses. They allow you to easily move your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing them or waking them.
Some of the most effective stroller-car seat combinations can be turned to a double as you have a growing family. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot two. This is especially important if your car seat will be the sole vehicle seat for your baby.
Other stroller-car-seat combos might have more complicated conversion procedures. You may have to manually attach the car seat to the stroller or strap it to the base to ensure it is secured. This method was more difficult to master in our testing than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you misplace or forget the straps, it can pose a safety hazard.
A car seat/stroller combo is a good idea, but you should also consider whether the strollers and infant car seats can be used together for as long as you want them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos use rear-facing infant car seats designed to be used until your child is the age of 1. The car seats do not attach to strollers when they are no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products such as the Doona can be used as a toddler car seat with a seat belt booster after your child has outgrown the car seat that was designed for infants, but is too tall for most traditional strollers.
Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for infants and toddlers until early 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. Make sure that your infant car seat is properly installed. Don't remove it from your car without first untying the straps.
Safety
The combination of a stroller and car seat allows for easy transfer of infants from a car to a stroller and vice versa, without disrupting or waking them. Rothman states that this is especially beneficial when you're running errands and traveling. For extra safety, look for a car seat that attaches to the stroller via the simple click or the rigid LATCH system. This will ensure the car seat is safe while in use and that it will not fall off or fall off during transportation. Car seat and stroller combinations that work with or without a base are good options for vehicles that ride-share.
When purchasing a travel set make sure you check the weight and age limits for both the stroller and the car seat. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats which are only designed for use during the first 12 months of the life of a child. These car seats can be converted to a forward facing car seat that can be used in a vehicle or converted into a stroller. Stanton says it's crucial to be aware of all labels and directions, especially when it's time to make sure that your child's weight and height requirements of the car seat as well as the stroller.
While some parents prefer to purchase separate items and build their own travel system, it's not uncommon to see companies offer pre-packaged car seats and strollers combination sets. They're usually cheaper than buying the products separately. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought after. The stroller is smooth ride, springy all-wheel suspension and a large storage basket to store all of your baby gear. The car seat is low-profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone to provide additional protection. It's a simple and simple installation, thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat has a four-position headrest, four harness heights and a padded insert for your little one's comfort. It is easy to clean and it folds with one hand.
Style
It's tempting to buy an accessory for travel to make it easier to transfer your baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing them, however, that's not the only reason to think about buying one. You should also choose one with a sleek design, that is easy to move around and has many other features for your child's comfort as well as yours.
The travel systems that are the most effective include the infant car stroller, car seat and stroller base all in one box to make it easier for you to transition from your vehicle to the street. They usually have a one-piece infant car seat that snaps into a stroller that is compatible and some include an attachment for a bassinet for naptime strolls (safety research has shown that babies sleep best in reclined positions).
Strollers and infant car seats that are compatible with 2-in-1 travel systems are lightweight sturdy, durable, and easy to fold and maneuver. Find models with rubber tires, a swivel front wheel for city streets, and a large cargo basket that can hold several shopping bags. You should also consider how the car seat and stroller can be folded to make it easier to store them.
Certain travel systems allow you to replace the included infant car seat with a toddler seat after your child has outgrown it, which gives you an additional two years of use. This is a great option for those who intend to use the seat for a longer period of time or if their partner is a commuter on a bus, train or ride-share.
