Comfort

Travel systems that include an infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from the car to stroller a breeze. These all-in-ones are different from stroller-only combos since they typically include an infant car seat and the stroller. They are suitable for infants as well as older children. Many of the car-and-stroller combinations that make our list also include a bassinet, which can be used as a safe alternative for a traditional stroller for naptime walks.

A two-in-one travel system that includes a car seat is more expensive than purchasing the two items separately, however you'll save time and money by purchasing them all at once. If you decide that the car seat and stroller aren't suitable for your family in the future, most brands have adaptors that allow you to use the car seat with an alternative stroller.

When shopping for a travel set be aware that a majority of these sets include an infant car seat and stroller designed to work together. These are meant to be used in the first year. If you are planning on keeping the seat and using it after this time, you should look for one that has a convertible car seat that can be used as a toddler's seat and has a greater weight limit.

Certain travel systems also come with a second seat that can be used as a booster seat for older children. While this is a good option but it's not essential and might not be feasible based on your life style.

Some of the most effective stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed into a double when you grow your family. The Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pushchair pram Combo is an amalgamation of a stroller and infant Prams car seat that can be clicked into place to instantly transform into chariots for two. This feature is particularly important if you plan to use the car seat as your baby's sole vehicle seat.

Other car seat and stroller combinations have more complicated conversion procedures that require you to manually snap the infant car seat onto the stroller, or use the straps that are attached to the base to secure it. This method was more difficult to master during our testing than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you lose or forget the straps, it could be a danger to your safety.

A car seat/stroller combo is a good idea but you must consider whether the strollers and infant car seats can be used together for in the time you need them to. Most car seat/stroller combo products feature rear-facing infant car seat designed to be used until your child is the age of 1. These car seats are not connected to a stroller after they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller products, such as Doona can be used as car seats for toddlers with an additional seatbelt booster once your child has outgrown the infant car seat, but is too big to fit in most traditional strollers.

The best 2 in 1 pushchair combination is a car seat and stroller for newborns to early childhood. When your child has grown out of the car seat for infants, you can replace the travel system by a larger stroller that can be used by older toddlers and older children. Always make sure your infant car seat is properly installed. Do not remove it from the car without first taking off the straps.

Safety

Car seat and stroller combos allow you to easily move infants from the vehicle to the stroller and back without disturbing them or needing to wake them up. Rothman says this is especially useful when you're running errands and traveling. For added security, look for car seats that can be attached to the stroller with either an easy click or a rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain safe while being used and will not slide off or loosen during transportation. Car seat and stroller combos that can be used with or without a base are good options for ride-share vehicles.

When looking for a new stroller, make sure you know the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat and stroller. Most infant car seats in these systems are rear-facing, and are only designed for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. Many of these car seats change to a forward-facing seat that is able to remain in the car or be converted into a stroller compatible with it. It is essential to study the labels and follow all instructions with care, says Stanton, especially when it comes to making sure your child is in the correct weight and height guidelines for both the car seat as well as the stroller.

While some parents prefer to buy separate products and design their own travel system, it's not unusual to see companies sell pre-packaged car seats and strollers set-ups. These sets are generally less expensive than buying them separately. For instance, UPPAbaby's Vista stroller that comes with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller features smooth riding with springy all-wheel suspension and a large storage basket to hold all the baby's toys. The car seat is slim and has a SafeCell crumple zone to provide additional security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to install. The car seat has an adjustable headrest that can be adjusted in four positions, four harness settings and padding to ensure your child's comfort. It is easy to clean, and it folds with one hand.

Style

While it's tempting to purchase a travel system to enjoy the convenience of moving your child from car to stroller and back without having to wake them up, it's not the only reason to think about one. You should also look for a model with a stylish design, that is easy to move around and comes with a variety of other features for your child's comfort and yours.

The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller and car seat base, all in one box to allow an effortless transition from car to street. They typically feature a one-piece infant car seat that snaps into a stroller compatible with it, and some even offer an attachment for a bassinet for naptime strolls (safety research suggests that babies sleep best in a reclined position).

Strollers and infant car seats designed to work with two in one travel systems are lightweight and sturdy, making them easy to move, push, and fold. Choose models with rubber tires, a swivel front wheel for city streets, and a large cargo basket that can hold multiple shopping bags. You should also consider how small the stroller and car seat are when they're folded to make storage easier.

Some travel systems let you change the infant car seat with a toddler car seat once your child has outgrown it. This allows for an additional 1-2 years use. This is an excellent option for those who intend to use the seat for a longer period of time or if a partner is a commuter on a bus, train or ride-share.
