The combos typically include the car seat of your baby and a stroller that you can use for many years, even when your child is no longer in the car seat.

If you choose to purchase a stroller that is a 2 in 1 pram and car seat-in-1 and car seat, we recommend that you choose one that has a secure connection between the base of the stroller and the carrier. These connections require only a little pressure, which decreases the chance of making mistakes that can occur when attempting to install a car seat that has straps.

Another aspect to consider when selecting a stroller/car seat combo is whether the car seat can be removed from the frame of the stroller without removing it from the vehicle. This allows you to move a sleepy baby to or from the stroller. This is especially beneficial for sleep-deprived parents!

Car seats that transition into strollers are handy for families who use public transportation or rideshares, according to Stanton, as you can move your child from the car to the stroller and back again without leaving the vehicle.

A stroller that is lightweight and an easy-to-fold car seat allow you to easily carry it up and down steps, toss into a trunk, and fit into small closets.

However, lightweight strollers tend to bump a bit more over uneven ground than more heavy models, and some are difficult to push when packed with equipment. Look for a combination that weighs less than 25 pounds to minimize the chance of tipping.
