A pram 2 in 1 uk-in-1 travel set-up with car seats gives parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant, as well as a stroller which are able to work together. However they can be costly.
These combos make it simple for parents to transport a sleeping baby from car to stroller and back again without waking them. This is a great choice for families that tend to spend the majority of their time in the car.
Comfort
If you're looking for an easy way to transition your baby from car to stroller without disturbing them an infant car seat, a travel system that includes a stroller seat and infant car seat may be just what you're looking for. These all-in-ones are different from stroller-only combos because they usually include an infant car seat as well as a stroller. They are suitable for both newborns and older children. A lot of the car seat and stroller combinations on our list have bassinet attachments as well, which can be an excellent alternative to a stroller for walks during naptime.
A two-in-one travel system that comes with a car seat is more expensive than purchasing the items separately, but you'll save money and time by purchasing them together. If you decide that the stroller and car seat aren't suitable for your family there are adaptors for most brands that allow you to use the car seat in conjunction with another stroller.
One thing to be aware of when shopping for a travel system is that these sets typically include an infant car seat and a stroller designed to work together, which is designed to be used during the first 12 months. If you intend on keeping the car seat and using it beyond this period, look for one that has a convertible car seat that can also be used as a toddler seat and has a higher weight limit.
Some travel systems have a second seat which can be used to boost older children. This is a great feature, but it might not be practical for your needs.
If you're looking to purchase a travel system that will last for a couple of years, look through our top choices for car seats and strollers. Our editor-tested favorites include the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combination are packed with features to help you and your baby remain comfortable. They feature a springy all-wheel suspension to ease the ride. The PIPA car seat also comes with a built in drape canopy to protect children who are snoozing. They also have LATCH connectors that can be used with vehicles that do not have a base, making it a great option for families who regularly use ride-sharing services or have two cars.
Convenience
These are great for parents who do errands, or transport their babies 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 up.
Some of the best strollers and car seat combinations allow you to convert to a double as your family grows. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pushchair and car seat Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place, instantly transforming into a sleek chariot two. This feature is especially important if you plan to use the car seat as the baby's primary vehicle seat.
Other car seat and stroller combinations have more complicated conversion techniques that require you to manually snap the car seat of your infant onto the stroller or use the straps that attach to the base to secure it. In our testing this method was generally more difficult to master than the one-step process of the Doona. If you forget or lose the straps, it may pose a safety hazard.
A combination of a car seat and stroller is a good idea however, you must consider whether the strollers and infant car seats can work as long as you want them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos utilize rear-facing infant car seats that are designed to be used until your child is 1. These car seats cannot be attached to a stroller once they are no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/Egg stroller 2 in 1 products like the Doona can be used as a toddler car seat with the seat belt booster when your child has outgrown the car seat for infants but is too tall for most traditional strollers.
The best combination is the combination of a stroller and car seat for infants and children in the early years of childhood. When your child is no longer in the car seats for infants and you are looking at buying a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a bigger model that can be used by toddlers and older children. Make sure that your infant car seat has been installed correctly. Don't remove it from your car without first taking off the straps.
Safety
The combination of a stroller and car seat allows for easy transfer of infants from a car to a stroller, and vice versa without disrupting or waking them. Rothman states that this is especially useful when you're conducting errands or travel. To ensure safety, select a car seat which attaches to a stroller with an incredibly strong LATCH system or click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat will be safe while being used and will not slide off or become loose during transportation. Combinations of car seats and stroller that can be used in conjunction with or without the base are also ideal for ride-share vehicles.
When you are looking for a travel system, check the weight and age limits of both the car seat and stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats which are only designed for use for the first 12 months of a child's life. A majority of these car seats then change to a forward-facing seat that can be used in the car or snap into a compatible stroller. Stanton says it's crucial to follow all instructions and labels particularly when it's time to make sure that your child meets the weight and height requirements for both the car seat as well as the stroller.
Some parents prefer buying separate items to create their own travel system and others prefer buying pre-packaged strollers and car seats, it is not uncommon to find companies that to offer these sets. They're usually cheaper than buying the items individually. For example, UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller that comes with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller 2in1 has smooth riding with suspension that is all-wheel and springy, and a large basket that can be used to store all of your baby's equipment. The car seat has a low profile and features a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. It has a quick and simple installation thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat features an adjustable headrest with four positions with four harness heights, as well as padding to ensure your child's comfort. It is easy to clean and comes with a one-hand fold, making it ideal to store.
Style
It's tempting to buy an accessory for travel to make it easier to transfer your baby from the car to the stroller, without waking them, however, that's not the only reason to consider buying one. You should also choose a model with a stylish design, which is easy to maneuver and comes with a variety of other features to ensure your child's safety and for your own.
The best travel systems most efficient include the infant car, stroller and car seat base in one package to make it easier for you to transfer from your car to the street. They typically come with a one-piece car seat that can be easily snapped into a stroller that is compatible with it. Some even include a bassinet for naps (safety studies show that babies sleep better in a reclining position).
Strollers and infant car seats that are compatible with 2-in-1 travel systems are lightweight and durable. They are also easy to fold and maneuver. Look for models with rubber tires with a swivel wheel on the front for urban streets, and a large cargo basket that can accommodate several shopping bags. To make storage easier, you should also check how small car seats and strollers are when folded.
Some travel systems let you replace the included infant car seat with a toddler one as your child grows out of it, giving you an additional 1-2 in 1 buggy years of use. This is an excellent option for those who plan to use the seat for a longer period of time or if a partner is a commuter on a bus, train or ride-share.
