A 2 in 1 pram and car seat in 1 Travel System With Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system that incorporates a car seat offers parents the convenience of having a baby car seat and a stroller that work together. They can be expensive.

These combos make it simple for parents to transport a sleeping baby from car to stroller and back without disturbing them. This is a great option for families that spend much of their time on the go.

Comfort

If you're looking for a simple method to move your baby from the car to stroller without waking them up, a travel system with the stroller seat as well as an infant car seat might be what you need. These all-in-ones differ from egg stroller 2 in 1-only combos because they usually include an infant car seat and the stroller. They are suitable for infants as well as older children. A lot of the car-and-stroller combos that make our list also have a bassinet included and can be used as a safe alternative to a stroller during naptime walks.

While a pram 2 in 1-in-1 travel system with car seat might cost more than separate items, you'll likely save time and money by buying them as a set. If you decide that the stroller and car seat aren't suitable for your family in the future, most brands have adaptors to allow you to use the car seat with another stroller.

When looking for a travel set, be aware that the majority of them come with an infant car-seat and a stroller that are designed to work together. These are meant to be used within the first year. If you plan to keep the seat and using it beyond this point, consider an option with an convertible car seat that can also be used as a toddler seat and has a greater weight limit.

Some travel systems include a second seat which can be used to help older children. This is a wonderful option, but it may not be suitable for your lifestyle.

Take a look at our top picks of car seats and strollers If you're looking for an affordable travel system that will last for several years. Editor-tested favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combination have numerous features that will keep you and your child comfortable. These strollers feature a springy all-wheel suspension to smooth the ride and the PIPA car seat comes with an integrated drape canopy for protecting a snoozing child. These seats also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on vehicles that do not have a base. This is a great choice for families that frequently use ride-sharing or have two cars.

Convenience

Car seat/stroller combinations are great for parents who regularly run out for errands or take their child out on public transportation such as trains and buses. They let you easily move your baby who is sleeping in the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them.

Some of the most effective stroller-car seat combinations can be turned into a double when you expand your family. The Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 buggy and car seat (their website) Combo is an amalgamation of a stroller and a baby car seat that can be pushed into position to instantly transform into chariots for two. This is especially important if your car seat will be your baby's primary vehicle seat.

Other stroller-car seat combinations may have more complex conversion methods. You may have to manually snap the car seat onto stroller or strap it to the base to secure it. In our testing this method, it was more difficult to master than the single-step method of the Doona. It could pose an accident hazard when you forget or misplace the straps to secure the straps prior using the travel system.

While a combination of a car seat and stroller is convenient, you should also consider whether the stroller and car seat for your infant will work together for as long as you need them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos are rear-facing only infant car seats that are designed to be used up until your child is 1. These car seats are not attached to strollers once they're no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seats/strollers products, like Doona can be used as car seats for toddlers with the seatbelt booster when your child has outgrown the infant car seat, but it is too big to fit into traditional strollers.

Car seat/stroller combinations are best for newborns through the early years of childhood. When your child has grown out of the infant car seat you can replace the travel system by a larger stroller that can be used by older children and toddlers. Also, keep in mind that you must always make sure the infant car seat is set up properly and never remove it from the vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

The combination of a car seat and stroller makes it easy to transfer infants from a car to a stroller and reverse the process without disturbing them or waking them up. Rothman says this is especially beneficial when you're conducting errands or travel. To ensure your safety, choose a car seat that is attached to a stroller with a rigid LATCH system or a click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain safe while being used and will not slide off or come loose in transit. Combinations of car seats and stroller that can be used without or with the base are an excellent option for vehicles that ride-share.

When purchasing a travel system, be sure to check the weight and age limits for both the stroller and the car seat. The majority of the infant car seats included in these systems are rear-facing and are only meant for use in the first 12 months of your child's life. A lot of these car seats then transition to a forward-facing car seat that can be used in the vehicle or snap into a stroller that is compatible. Stanton insists that you read all labels and instructions, especially when it's time to ensure your child's weight and height requirements of the car seat as well as the stroller.

While some parents prefer to buy separate items and build their own travel system, it's not uncommon for companies to offer pre-packaged car seat and stroller set-ups. These sets are typically less expensive than buying them separately. Sets like UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are highly sought-after. The stroller offers a smooth ride, springy suspension with all-wheels and a large storage basket for everything you need for your baby. The car seat is low profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone for added protection. It is quick and easy install, thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat features an adjustable headrest with four positions with four harness heights, as well as a padded insert for your child's comfort. It is easy to clean, and it folds with one hand.

Style

It's tempting to purchase a travel system to make it easier to move your child from the car to the stroller, without waking them, but that's not the primary reason to consider buying one. You should also look for a model with a stylish design, which is easy to move around and has many other features for your child's safety and for your own.

The most effective travel systems comprise an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one package for an effortless transition from car to street. They typically feature a one-piece infant car seat that snaps into a compatible stroller and some include a bassinet attachment for naptime strolls (safety research shows that babies sleep best when in reclined positions).

Strollers and infant car seats designed to work with two in one travel systems are lightweight and robust, making them simple to maneuver, push and fold. Look for models with rubber tires and a swivel front wheel for city streets, and a big cargo basket that can accommodate many shopping bags. For easy storage, you should also check how the strollers and car seats can be when folded.

Some travel systems allow you to replace the infant car seat with an adult car seat when your child grows out of it. This allows for an additional two years of use. This is an excellent option for those who intend to use the seat for a longer period of time or if they have a companion who commutes by train, bus or ride-share.

The All-in-1 Car Seat and Stroller is a top choice for families who want an all-in-one solution. The integrated rigid system of LATCH allows you to easily switch from stroller to car seat and back. It's also approved for air travel, which means you can board and get off public transport with ease. The All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller can also be converted into a double stroller, which allows you to take your baby on adventures around the world. It's also available in a variety of vibrant colors to complement any wardrobe.
