2 in 1 Car Seat Stroller Combos

We like combos that make it seem like the car seat is a natural part of the stroller. Strollers and carseats that don't require any pressure to attach or detach, are less likely to make mistakes (both intentionally and unintentionally).

The most effective car seat/stroller combinations are simple, quick and have an audible click when connected.

Easy to Assemble

Combinations of car seats and stroller are ideal for parents who are always in motion. The stroller can be assembled in a single step, and the infant car seat can be snapped in without having to connect straps. They also make it simpler to change from car to stroller and back again and back again, which is useful when you're running errands or taking a quick walk in the park with your child.

In our car seat and stroller combo tests, we measure how quickly and easily the combination can be assembled and how well the infant car seats and stroller connect and how it is easy to move around the city with both seats connected. The stroller component of a car seat-stroller combo must be sturdy and light. It's also important to pick a combo that can support your family's growing needs. If you're planning to have twins, you'll need a stroller that can convert from a double stroller into triple strollers.

We are awestruck by the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 Combo for its easy, intuitive assembly and its sturdy, reliable construction. It comes with the UPPAbaby Mini infant car seat as well as the UPPAbaby Second Seat Kit 2.0. This kit includes an Lower and Upper Adapters to raise the seat in order to make room for a 2nd. It also includes the Riding Board accessory.

The Doona Car Seat and Stroller Combo is a different top-of-the-line product. Its seamless transition from stroller to car takes a few minutes, and makes room in the trunk to store more shopping bags or groceries. This innovative solution from Doona is also simple to install in your car thanks to its LATCH base and click-in design.

Other easy-to-assemble combinations include the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pram system and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo. They all have rubber tires and a single front wheel for easy pushing and the flexibility of a swivel front wheel for jogging or running through errands. Lastly, we love the iCandy Peony Combo because it comes with a simple fold-up with one hand and a spacious storage basket that can hold everything you need for your travels.

Easy to Fold

The best 2 in 1 car seat strollers fold up and can be tucked away without a lot of effort. They also come with a storage tray and cup holders, which are useful for parents who travel. Many models also come with a parent console with two cup holders, as well as an enclosed compartment for keys and other items. They also have adjustable handlebars, so you can adjust them to your height. This makes it easier to move and push and move around. Some of the top performers in our car seat and stroller combination reviews have excellent scores for user-friendliness.

It's important to ensure that the car seat you choose and the base of your stroller are compatible. It is not possible to take the infant carrier off in the event that the base isn't installed in your vehicle. Some of the most rated travel systems have an attachment that is installed with LATCH which is the safest option for infants. Some travel systems have an attachment that can be clicked-in and are more user-friendly than ones that require straps.

Some stroller and car seat combinations, like the Doona Combo have a one step design that lets you fold everything up into a compact, lightweight bundle. This is especially useful for parents who use public transportation or rideshares often or switch between caregivers.

Evenflo Shyft DualRide is another convenient travel system. It's similar to the Doona and is similar to the Doona in that the car seats fold from the stroller's base. The car seat can't be removed from the stroller when it is not in your car. This could be a problem if you need to change caregivers or run errands with your baby in the backseat.

Other car seat and stroller combos, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and BOB Alterrain Pro have car seat adapters that snap-in only and don't require straps which helps simplify the process. They're still a little bulkier than the Doona but they're also able to score excellent scores for maneuverability and can be used with most infant car seats.

Easy to carry

Car seat stroller combos are ideal for parents who wish to skip the hassle of moving their infant car seat from their vehicle to stroller. They're typically simpler to use than travel systems that have a separate toddler seat and are usually smaller and lighter, as well. They can even come with features that make them easy to use, like an adult cup holder or a large storage basket.

The Doona Combo is a popular (it has a 90% five-star rating on Amazon) one-and-done product that doesn't require an additional base for the stroller. It's an infant car seat that can also function as a stroller. The base is equipped with an opening and is rear-facing. We love that you can connect and disconnect the infant carrier with one hand, and it's simple to fold with a child in the seat. We also love the fact that it's extremely light-weight, weighing around 7.5 pounds. However, the lack of storage options and convenience features resulted in a lower score than other frame strollers like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Combo, UPPAbaby Cruz V2 Combo and Chicco Keyfit Caddy Combo.

If you're looking for a two-in-1 option that can accommodate multiple car seats, search for a model that has integrated adapters that snap into place. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is a good example. It is compatible with two different brands and models of infant car seats but does not require straps. Other two-in-one options we've tried, such as the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Ex, use the same setup, but require straps to attach the car seat.

When you are choosing a car seat and stroller combination, consider how you will utilize it. Do you require a lightweight option for neighborhood walks or jogs? A jogger equipped with suspension and a larger canopy will be able to handle all types of terrain and weather. The UPPAbaby Cruz V2 Combo, for example, has a high maneuverability score and a large basket that can hold up to two seats.

If you need a budget-friendly alternative, the Chicco Keyfit Caddy is a frame stroller with a budget-friendly frame that can be used with Chicco Keyfit infant car seat carriers. It's not a luxurious stroller, but it is easy to fold and use. It can accommodate children weighing up 30 pounds or more.

Easy to Store

Combinations of strollers and car seats can be a huge space saver. The infant carrier snaps in and out of the stroller. This means it occupies less space than a separate vehicle seat. Some combos don't come with a freestanding fold, and you might need to lean your folded stroller against something or a wall. You should choose a stroller that is easy to store and car seats that are also easily stored.

A two-in-one travel system usually costs more than a separate stroller and car seat, but can save you money in the long run since you'll be purchasing fewer products in the future. The cost can vary depending on the features and the brand. Some come with additional features like tray for child snacks and cup holders and others are basic and doesn't include any other accessories aside from the base and infant car seat.

The best budget-friendly option for a stroller and car seat combination is one that has all the features you need to go on family outings. If you plan to go on lots of beautiful walks, go for a travel system with an expansive canopy. Look for a stroller that has an ample storage basket in case you're planning to carry lots of things with you. If you are planning to use your car seat with children older than you, you may want to upgrade to a double-stroller.

To get the best ease of use, you won't find the convenience of a Doona infant car seat and stroller. This unique product skips the whole attachment process and allows you to convert the seat into a stroller in a matter of seconds, no matter where you are. This makes it an ideal choice for parents who live in bustling cities and often ride-share or use public transportation.

The Doona is the recipient of many international awards for its unique features and design. It is designed to be practical and secure for those who live on the go. It's easy to change from your car to a stroller to run errands, or embark on an international adventure. It's approved and certified for travel on planes, so you can take it wherever you go.
