Other stroller and car seat combination models have more complicated conversion procedures that require you to manually connect the infant car seat onto the stroller, or use the straps attached to the base to secure it.

While a combination of a car seat and stroller is convenient, you should also consider whether the stroller and infant car seat will work together for as long as you need them to.

When your child is no longer in the car seats for infants it is recommended to consider buying a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a bigger model that can be used by older children and toddlers. Keep in mind that you must ensure your infant car seat is fitted correctly and never take it from the vehicle without taking off the straps first.

Safety

Car seat and stroller combos make it easy to transfer infants from the car to the stroller and back without disturbing them or needing to get them up. This is especially useful when you're running errands or travelling, says Rothman. To ensure security, opt for a car seat which attaches to a stroller with a rigid LATCH system or click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain safe while being used, and will not fall off or loosen during the course of transport. Combinations of car seats and stroller that can be used with or without the base are also a good option for vehicles with ride-sharing.

When purchasing a travel set, be sure to check the weight and age limit for both the stroller and the car seat. The majority of the infant car seats in these systems are rear-facing and are only intended for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. Many of these car seats change to a forward-facing seat that is able to remain in the vehicle or snap into a stroller that is compatible. Stanton insists that you read all labels and instructions particularly when it's time to make sure your child meets the weight and height requirements of both the car seat as well as the stroller.
