A 2 in 1 stroller and car seat in 1 Travel System

A stroller and car seat combination is the best 2 in 1 pushchair option, whether you want to 2in1 travel system with ease or create a contemporary version of the traditional pram. Check the specifications carefully to ensure your chosen car seat and pushchair are compatible or consider buying an adaptor.

Travel systems that have been tested by editors allow you to move your baby who is sleeping in the car to the stroller without disturbing them. Some even include a carrycot for natural sleep.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel set comes with a stroller and a baby car seat that snaps together. It's a convenience for caregivers and parents who frequently run errands with baby or take their little one out on rideshares or public transportation. "You'll have less equipment to manage," explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families that alternate between carpooling and public transit with other moms."

Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a top choice, with 90 % of Amazon reviews rating five stars. It's a rear facing car seat that converts into a stroller with wheels in seconds. The wheels fold underneath and it's small when not in use. The Doona can also be attached to a car backseat with the sturdy LATCH base or to taxi-safety belts. This makes it a great choice for urban families.

The Mamas & Papas pramette is another excellent car seat/stroller combo. It comes with an infant pram with a hood that opens and the front seat can be lowered to allow your child to lay down for nap time or for feedings. It has a spacious basket, cup holders and a basket for all the necessities for your baby as well as a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat features an adjustable reclining seat that can recline to a flat position making sure your baby is comfortable on every ride.

The weight and height limits are also important. Also, think about whether the infant car seat is only compatible with a backseat belt or if it has a rigid LATCH system integrated into. Look for a lock on the handle to ensure that the handle stays in position. You can also tilt the handle towards the seatback in the rear to create an anti-rebound bar.

It's important to note that travel systems only work with infant car seats--and extended-use car seats that later turn forward-facing do not transform into strollers. Many moms decide to purchase a separate car seat and stroller when their child grows out of an infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems come with a baby stroller that can be converted into a comfortable carrycot for infants. This is a great option for parents who do not want to disturb their newborn while traveling. Depending on the brand, some also feature a car seat and stroller combination that connects to each other. This lets you keep your child in the car seat and then transfer them to a stroller without disturbing them.

A good stroller needs to include plenty of features that make it convenient and user-friendly. It should come with a large storage basket that can hold important items like nappies as well as toys and snacks. It can also recline so that your child can sleep comfortably. It should also include a sturdy canopy to shield your baby from sun's rays and a lockable for the front wheel for added safety. It should also be light and compact for storage and transportation to and from the vehicle.

Editor-tested travel system strollers such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all have the benefit of connecting with a range of top car seats that click to attach to the frame and fold down easily. Some models have one wheel on each leg to make them easier to maneuver and roll over different surfaces.

Ideally, a stroller should be able to endure through toddlerhood and beyond if you need it to continue to transport your child to and from school, activities and play dates. When your child outgrows their car seat, consider a stroller that features a seat that faces the world and can recline.

If you plan to use your 2 in 1 buggy and car seat-in-1 travel system on public transport, select one with an ISOFIX base. This will ensure that it is safe to hop off and on buses or trains. Certain models, such as the Doona can be mounted on planes and trains to make traveling with your baby pushchair 2 in 1 easier.
