Car Seat

A 2 in 1 stroller and car seat-in-1 travel set that includes a stroller and a baby car seat that snap together. It's a great option for caregivers and parents who regularly run errands with their infant or take their little one out on public transportation or rideshares. "You'll have less equipment to deal with," explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. "And it's ideal for families that alternate between carpooling and public transit with other moms."

The best option is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which receives 90% of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing vehicle seat that transforms into a rolling stroller--the transition is a matter of seconds. The wheels fold underneath and it's small when not in use. The Doona can also be attached to a car's backseat using the rigid LATCH base, or to taxi-safety belts. This makes it perfect for city families.

The Mamas and Papas Pramette is a top car seat/stroller combination, featuring a pram with a hood and front seat that open to allow you to lie your child down for naps or for feedings. It has a spacious basket and cup holders for all of your baby's necessities, plus a parent tray and sun shade. The stroller seat can recline in a variety of positions, and it can even be flat so that your child will be comfortable for every ride.

The weight and height limits are also important. Also, consider whether the car seat for infants can be used only with a backseat belt, or in the event that it comes with a strong LATCH system that is built-in. Also, look for a locking mechanism on the handle to ensure it stays safe in its place, as well as the possibility of tilting the handle towards the rear seatback for an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats, which can be turned forward-facing later, cannot be converted into strollers. Because of this, many moms choose to purchase a separate stroller 2 in 1 car seat and car seat once their child is no longer in the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is an essential piece of equipment for newly parents. Some travel systems come with the baby pram that converts into a cosy infant carrycot, so your baby can rest peacefully in the car which is ideal for parents of newborns and those who do not want to disturb their children when travelling. Certain brands also provide carseats and strollers combo that can be linked. This lets you keep your child in the car seat and then transfer them to a stroller without disrupting them.

A good stroller should have numerous features that make it simple to use and practical. It should come with an ample basket for storing essentials such as nappies, toys, and snacks. It should also be able recline so that your baby can lie down comfortably. It should also include a good canopy to protect your baby from sun and a lockable front wheel to ensure safety. Lastly, it should be lightweight and compact to make it easy to store or transport to and from the car.

Editor-tested travel system strollers such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all offer convenience by connecting with a range of top car seats that click to attach to the frame and fold up with ease. Some models have one wheel on each leg, making them more maneuverable and easier to roll over different surfaces.

A stroller should be able to function throughout toddlerhood and beyond if you need it to carry your child to and from school or to play dates, activities and so on. This is why you should look for a model that features an opening that allows your child to face the world (and reclines) after your child has outgrown the car seat.

If you plan on using your 2-in-1 travel system on public transport choose models that have an ISOFIX base, which makes it safe to hop on and off trains or buses. Some models, such as the Doona can also be mounted on planes and trains to make travelling with a baby simpler.
