They can be expensive. These combos allow parents to easily transfer a sleepy child from the car to the stroller, and in reverse, without disturbing them. This is a great solution for families who spend much of their time in the car. Comfort If you're looking for a simple way to transfer your baby from car to stroller without awakening them, a travel system with the stroller seat as well as an infant car seat might be what you need. In contrast to stroller-only combos, these all-in-ones typically have an infant car seat as well as a stroller that can be linked and can be used with both newborns and toddlers. Many of the car seats and strollers combos that make our list come with bassinet attachments as well and can be a safe alternative to a stroller for walks during naptime. A 2-in-1 travel system that includes a car seat will cost more than purchasing the products separately, but you'll save money and time by purchasing them all at once.

When shopping for a travel set, keep in mind that most of these sets come with an infant car-seat as well as a stroller that are designed to work together. They are designed to be used in the first year. If you plan on keeping the seat after this point make sure you choose a model which has a convertible car-seat that is suitable for toddlers and has a greater weight limit.

The UPPAbaby, a favorite of our editors, PIPA stroller and car seat combination have many features that will keep you and your child comfortable. They feature a springy all-wheel suspension to make the ride more comfortable. The PIPA car seat also comes with a built in drape canopy that protects a child who is snoozing.

We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo which comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot two. This feature is especially important if you plan to use the car seat as the baby's sole vehicle seat. Other car seat and stroller combination models have more complicated conversion methods that may require you to manually attach the car seat of your infant onto the stroller or use the straps that are attached to the base to hold it in place. In our tests this method, it was harder to master than the one-step procedure of the Doona. If you lose or forget the straps, it can pose a safety hazard. A car seat/stroller combo is a great option however, you must think about whether the infant car seats and strollers can be used together for as long as you require them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos use rear-facing only infant car seats that are made to be used until your child is 1. The car seats do not attach to strollers when they're no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seats/strollers product, such as Doona can be used as toddler car seats that come with an additional seatbelt booster once your child has outgrown the car seat for infants, however, it is too large to fit in most 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 with larger strollers which can be used for older children and toddlers. Make sure that your infant car seat is fitted correctly. Do not remove it from the car without first removing the straps. Safety The combination of a stroller and car seat allows you to easily transfer infants from a vehicle to a stroller and vice versa, without disturbing or waking them up. Rothman says this is particularly useful when you're running errands and traveling. To ensure your safety, choose an automobile seat that connects to a stroller with an incredibly strong LATCH system or an easy-on system. This will ensure the car seat is secure when it's in use and that it will not fall off or fall off in transit. Car seat and stroller combinations that can work without or with a base are good alternatives for ride-share vehicles. When shopping for a stroller, make sure you know the age and weight limits of both the car seat and stroller. The majority of the infant car seats included in these systems are rear-facing and only designed for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. Many of these car seats then switch to a forward-facing seat that is able to remain in the vehicle or snap into a compatible stroller. pram 2 in 1 advises parents to read all labels and instructions particularly when it's time to make sure that your child is in compliance with the weight and height requirements of both the car seat as well as the stroller. While some parents prefer to purchase separate products and design their own travel system, it's not unusual to see companies offer pre-packaged car seats and strollers set-ups. These sets are usually cheaper than purchasing them individually. For instance, UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller offers a smooth ride with springy suspension on all wheels, and a large basket to store all your baby's gear. The car seat has a low profile and comes with a SafeCell crumple zone for added security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to set up. The car seat comes with an adjustable headrest with four positions and four harness heights as well as padding to ensure your child's comfort. It is easy to clean and comes with one-hand fold, making it convenient for storage. Style While it's tempting to buy a travel system to enjoy the ease of moving your child from stroller to car and back without having to wake them up, it's not the only reason to consider one. You should also consider one that's stylish, maneuvers well, and has a number of other features to make it comfortable for both your child and yourself. The travel systems that are the most effective include an infant car stroller, car seat and stroller base all in one box to help you to transfer from your vehicle to the street. They usually come with a single-piece infant car seat that snaps into a compatible stroller, and some even offer the option of a bassinet attachment to allow strolls during nap time (safety research has shown that babies sleep better in a reclined position). Strollers and infant car seats that integrate with 2-in-1 travel systems are lightweight and durable. They are also easy to fold and move. Make sure you choose models with rubber tires and a swivel wheel at the front for streets in cities as well as a large basket for cargo, and can accommodate multiple shopping bags. Also, you should consider how the car seat and stroller fold for ease of storage. Some travel systems allow you to replace the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat once your child grows out of it. This allows you to enjoy an additional 2 to 3 years of use. This is an excellent option for parents 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.
