A 2 in 1 Travel System

Whether you are looking to travel with ease or want to make a modern interpretation of an old-fashioned stroller, the car seat and stroller combo is the best choice. Verify the specifications to ensure that your stroller and car seat are compatible, or you can consider buying an adapter.

Travel systems that have been evaluated by editors allow you to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without disrupting them. Some come with a carrycot to allow for natural sleep.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel set comes with a stroller and a baby car seat that snaps together. This is a great choice for parents who often make errands, or take their baby on rideshares or public transport. "You'll have less equipment to handle," explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. "And it's ideal for families that alternate between carpooling and public transit with other moms."

The best option is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which gets an astounding 90% of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing car seat that converts into a stroller that rolls. The transition is quick and easy. The wheels fold under and the Doona is compact when not in use. The Doona also attaches to a car's backseat using the LATCH base that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt routes, making it a great choice for commuters and families in cities.

The Mamas & Papas Pramette is a top car seat/stroller 2 in 1 combo, with a pram 2in1 with a hood and front seat that open to let you lay your child down for naps or for feedings. It comes with a huge basket, cup holders and a sun shade for your baby's essentials. The stroller seat has an adjustable reclining seat that can recline to a flat position making sure your baby is comfortable on every ride.

The weight and height limits are important. Also, think about whether the car seat for infants can be used only with a backseat belt, or when it has a sturdy LATCH system built in. Also, look for a locking mechanism on the handle to ensure it stays safe in its place, as well as the possibility of tilting the handle toward the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

It's worth noting that travel systems only work with infant car seats--and extended-use car seats that are able to later turn forward-facing do not convert into strollers. Many moms opt to purchase a separate car seat and stroller when their child is no longer in an infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems have the baby pram that can be transformed into a comfy infant carrycot. This is a great option for parents who don't want to disturb their newborn when traveling. Some brands also offer carseats and strollers combo that can be connected. This means you can keep your child secured in the car seat, and then transfer them to a 2in1 pushchair without causing any disturbance, which is ideal for long drives and shopping malls that are crowded.

A good stroller needs to be equipped with a variety of features that make it convenient and easy to use. It should come with an ample basket for storing essentials such as nappies, toys, and snacks. It should also be able recline so that your baby prams 2 in 1 (check out the post right here) can lie down comfortably. It should also have an adequate canopy to shield your baby from sun and a lockable front wheel for added safety. It should also be lightweight and compact to store it in and transport to and from the vehicle.

Editor-tested travel system strollers like the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all have the benefit of connecting to a variety of top car seats that snap to the frame and fold down effortlessly. Some models also come with a single wheel on each leg, which makes them easier to manoeuvre and roll across different surfaces.

The ideal stroller will be versatile enough to last through toddlerhood - and beyond if you require it to continue to transport your child to and from school or to play dates, activities and so on. When your child outgrows their car seat, you should choose a stroller which features a seat that faces the world and can recline.

If you plan to utilize your 2 in 1 travel system pram-in-1 system on public transport, choose one with an ISOFIX base. This will ensure that it is safe to get off and on buses or trains. Certain models, like the Doona can also be mounted on trains and airplanes to make travelling with a baby easier.
