A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat
A 2 in 1 pram car seat-in-1 travel system with car seat offers parents the convenience of having a baby car seat and stroller that can work together. They can be costly.
These combos allow parents to easily transfer a sleepy child from the car to the stroller, and reverse the process, without disturbing them. This is a great solution for families who are constantly moving.
Comfort
Travel systems with a stroller and an infant car seat are a great option to make the transition from car to stroller simple. In contrast to stroller-only combos, these all-in-ones typically include an infant car seat as well as a stroller that click together, and are suitable for both newborns and toddlers. A lot of the car seat and stroller combos on our list have a bassinet attachment as well and can be an excellent alternative to a stroller for naps.
While a 2-in-1 travel system with a car seat might cost more than separate items, you'll likely save time and money by purchasing the two items together. If you decide later that the stroller and car seat aren't quite right for your family, a majority of brands have adaptors that let you to use your selected car seat with another stroller (provided it meets the weight and height requirements).
One important thing to remember when looking for a travel set is that these sets typically comprise an infant car seat and a stroller made to work in tandem, which is designed to be used during the first 12 months. If you plan to keep the car seat and using it after this point, consider one that has an convertible car seat that can also be used as a toddler seat and has a heavier weight limit.
Certain travel systems also come with a second seat that can serve as a booster for older children. This is a great feature, but it might not be suitable for your needs.
If you're looking for a great travel system that will last a few years, take a look at our top picks for car seats as well as strollers. Our editors' top picks include the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combination, have plenty of features that will help you and your baby remain comfortable. These strollers feature springy all-wheel suspension to make the ride more comfortable. The PIPA car seat also has an integrated drape canopy that protects a child who is snoozing. These seats also have rigid LATCH connectors which can be used on vehicles that do not have a base. This makes them a great option for families that frequently use ride-sharing services or have two vehicles.
Convenience
These are great for parents who frequently run errands, or take their babies on public transportation such as trains and buses. They allow you to easily move your sleeping newborn from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them.
Some of the most effective stroller-car seat combinations can be converted into a double when you grow your family. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 stroller Combo which comes with an infant car seat and stroller that click into place, instantly transforming them into a sleek chariot two. This is particularly important if the car seat is your baby's sole vehicle seat.
Other stroller-car seat combinations may have more complicated conversion procedures. You may need to manually snap the car seat onto stroller or use straps attached to base to secure it. This method was more difficult to master in our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. It can pose a safety risk when you forget or misplace the straps to secure the straps prior to using the travel system.
While a combo of a stroller and car seat is convenient, you should also consider whether the stroller and car seat for your infant can work together for the time you need them to. The majority of car seats and strollers use rear-facing only infant car seats that are designed to be used up until your child turns 1. These car seats do not connect to strollers once they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, like Doona can be used as toddler car seats that come with an additional seatbelt booster once your child is no longer in the infant car seat but is too big to fit into traditional strollers.
The ideal combination is a car seat and stroller for newborns to early childhood. When your child is no longer in the car seats for infants and you are looking at purchasing a separate stroller 2 in 1 and replacing the travel system with a more spacious model that can be used by toddlers and older children. Always ensure that your infant car seat has been properly installed. Don't remove it from your car without first untying the straps.
Safety
Car seats and strollers allow you to easily move infants from their car to the stroller and back again without disturbing them or having to wake them up. This is especially helpful when you're on the go or travelling, says Rothman. To ensure your safety, opt for car seats that can be 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 will not slide off or loosen during the course of transport. Combinations of car seat and stroller that can be used with or without the base are also ideal for ride-share vehicles.
When purchasing a travel system make sure you check the weight and age restrictions for both the stroller and the car seat. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats that are only designed for use during the first 12 months of the life of a child. These car seats can be changed to a forward facing car seat which can either be used in the car, or snapped into the stroller. It's important to study the labels and follow instructions with care, says Stanton, especially when it comes to making sure your child is in the correct weight and height limits for both the car seat as well as the stroller.
While some parents prefer to purchase separate items to build their own travel systems, others prefer buying pre-packaged strollers and car seats It is not unusual for companies offer these sets. These sets are typically less expensive than purchasing them individually. For instance, UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller that comes with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller features a smooth ride with suspension that is all-wheel and springy and a large storage basket to hold all your baby's gear. The car seat is slim and features a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to put in. The car seat comes with a four-position adjustable headrest with four harness settings, as well as padding to ensure your child's safety. It's easy to clean and has one-hand fold, which makes it easy to store.
Style
While it's tempting to purchase a travel system for the ease 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 choose a model with a stylish design, that is easy to move around, and that has many other features for your child's comfort and yours.
The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller and car seat base all in one box for an effortless transition from car to street.
