Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use

Car seat buggy 2 in 1 blends the two most important baby equipment pieces: the infant car seat and stroller. It makes hopping off and on public transportation (and walking up and down stairs) much more convenient.

One of the best options for this is the Doona infant car seat and stroller combo. It's the first integrated travel system that allows you to change from the car seat to the stroller without causing any disruption to your baby.

Easy to Use

Car seat and stroller combos that are simple to use are a must for parents. These systems allow you to switch between running errands, walking your dog, or going for a run. You can also keep up with the ever-changing needs of your child so you can take your family on adventures. Our testers are impressed by how smoothly and conveniently these travel systems glide regardless of whether they have one front wheel or a swiveling front wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pram system Combo and the BOB Alterrain pro combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are all easy to move. But even the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 buggy and car seat Combo can be pushed with one hand.

Certain models are difficult to attach or remove from the base. The Doona Combo requires a two step attachment process, and straps that cover the bottom of the infant carrier. It's tempting to skip these steps, but this could lead to dangerous results.

Certain models are also more difficult to fold and store than others, which makes them less practical. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is hard to fold due to its huge dimensions and bulky frame. Some testers have also found the canopy of this model to be unsatisfactory. However the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is very easy to fold with the pull of a lever and a snap of an button. It is also a great choice for parents who are planning to use their car seat on other vehicles because it is able to be easily removed from the base and attached to any standard stroller.

Easy to Fold

It should be easy to fold and unfold the car seat, regardless of whether you're storing it in your trunk, or in a closet. The most effective combinations we've tested fold easily in one hand and are strong enough to use on long walks. They're also easy to maneuver and glide effortlessly over uneven surfaces. We've seen a few combinations that can only be connected or removed using straps, which can seem like an extra step and make it more difficult for parents to secure the car seat correctly.

The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a fantastic option due to its sturdy construction and convenient features, including a large storage bin that is accessible from either the front or back. SafeCenter LATCH, an exclusive feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo allows you to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tight.

It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great choice for families or frequent travelers who have multiple vehicles. Both the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 pram car seat Combo, and the Thule Urban Glide 2 scored very well in our user-friendliness tests. Both have one wheel that's easy to push with one hand. Both have a single front wheel which is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a versatile spinner wheel, ideal for shopping or running errands. The only drawback is that they're very heavy, so it's difficult to lift them up when you're carrying a child in a car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Some stroller and car seat combinations can be difficult to put together. We discovered that the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo was one of the most simple to put together, and it comes with a handy quick-start guide that makes putting this system together easy. Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista V2 Thule urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also fairly simple to assemble. However the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps to assemble - connecting the lower anchors and using straps to cover the bottom of the carrier. It's also heavy, so it requires two hands to secure the carrier into the base and then remove it from the base.

In our tests we took about 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby v2 together. This is a bit rapid when you consider the time it can save by not having to remove all of the individual pieces. The majority of these models come with a simple process for attaching and removing the toddler seat, but there are other options as well.
