It's The Evolution Of 2 In 1 Travel System With Car Seat
A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system that includes a car seat provides parents with the convenience of having a baby car seat and stroller that can work together. They can be expensive.

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 solution for families that tend to spend much of their time on the move.

Comfort

Travel systems that come with an infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from car to stroller easy. These are different from stroller-only combinations because they usually come with an infant car seat in addition to a 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 and can be used as an alternative to a stroller during naptime walks.

A two-in-one travel system that includes a car seat will cost more than purchasing the items separately, but you'll save money and time by purchasing them together. If you decide later on that the stroller and car seat aren't quite right for your family, a majority of brands offer adaptors that allow you to use your chosen car seat alongside a stroller (provided it meets the weight and height requirements).

One thing to keep in mind when looking for a travel system is that these sets typically comprise an infant car seat and a stroller designed to work in tandem, which is meant to be used in the first 12 months. If you plan on keeping the seat after this point you should choose a model that has a convertible car-seat that can be used by toddlers and has a greater maximum weight.

Some travel systems also feature an additional seat that can serve as a booster for older children. This is a wonderful feature, but it may not be appropriate for your needs.

If you're looking to purchase a travel system that will last for a couple of years, look through our top picks for car seats and strollers. Editor-tested favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combo come with many features that will keep your child and you comfortable. These products feature springy all-wheel-suspension to smooth out the ride. The PIPA car seat also has a built-in drape canopy that can protect children who are snoozing. These products also feature rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on vehicles without a base. This makes them an ideal choice for families that frequently use ride-sharing services or have two vehicles.

Convenience

These combos are perfect for parents who often do errands, or transport their babies on public transport like buses and trains. It is easy to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without disturbing or waking them.


Some of the best stroller-car seat combinations can be converted into a double when you have a growing family. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo is a combination of a stroller as well as a infant car seat that can be clicked into place to instantly transform into chariots for two. This is especially important if your car seat will be the sole vehicle seat for your baby.

Other stroller-car seat combos may have more complicated conversion procedures. It is possible to manually snap the car seat onto stroller or use straps attached to the base to ensure it is secured. In our testing this method was generally more difficult to master than the single-step method of the Doona. It can be a safety risk in the event that you lose or forget to secure the straps prior using the travel system.

While a car seat/stroller combo is convenient, you must also consider whether the stroller and infant car seat can work together for as long as you need them to. The majority of car seats and strollers utilize rear-facing infant car seats that are designed to be used up until your child is 1. The car seats do not attach to strollers when they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller product, such as Doona can be used as car seats for toddlers with an additional seatbelt booster once your child is no longer in the infant car seat but is too big to fit into traditional strollers.

Car seat/stroller combinations work best for babies through early childhood. If your child is out of the car seat for infants, you can replace the travel system by a larger stroller which can be used for older toddlers and older children. Make sure that your infant car seat is installed correctly. Don't remove it from the car without first removing the straps.

Safety

The combination of the car seat and stroller allows for easy transfer of infants from a car to a stroller, and reverse the process without disturbing or waking them up. Rothman states that this is especially beneficial when you're running errands and traveling. For added security, look for car seats that can be attached to the stroller via a simple click or rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat is safe when it's in use and that it will not come loose or fall off during transportation. Combinations of car seat and stroller that can be used without or with the base are an excellent option for ride-share vehicles.

When shopping for a travel system, be sure to check the age and weight limits of both the car seat as well as the stroller. Typically, the infant car seats that are included in these systems are rear-facing and only meant for use in the first 12 months of your child's life. A lot of these car seats change to a forward-facing seat that will stay in the vehicle or can be converted into a stroller compatible with it. It's important to read the labels and follow the instructions with care, says Stanton especially when it comes down to ensuring your child's height and weight are within the correct weight and height guidelines for both the car seat and the stroller.

While some parents prefer to purchase separate products and design their own travel system, it's not uncommon to see companies sell pre-packaged car seat and stroller set-ups. two in one pram are usually priced lower than buying the items individually. For instance, UPPAbaby's Vista stroller with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller has an easy ride, with a springy all-wheel suspension and a large storage basket to hold all your baby's gear. The car seat is low-profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to install. The car seat comes with a headrest that can be adjusted in four positions and four harness heights as well as a padded insert to ensure your child's comfort. It is easy to clean and comes with one-hand fold, which makes it easy to store.

Style

Although it's tempting to purchase an infant travel system due to the ease of moving your baby from car to stroller and back without waking them up, it's not the only reason to consider one. You should also consider a model with a stylish design, which is easy to move around and comes with a variety of other features for your child's comfort and yours.

The best travel systems most efficient include the infant car, stroller and car seat base in one package to allow you to transfer from your car to the street. These systems typically include a single car seat that can be easily converted into a stroller that is compatible with it. Some even come with an ottoman for napping (safety studies have proven that babies sleep better when they are in the reclining position).

2 in 1 pram and infant car seats that are designed to work with 2 in 1 travel systems are light and robust, making them simple to push, maneuver, and fold. Look for models with rubber tires and a swivel front wheel for urban streets, and a spacious cargo basket that can accommodate several shopping bags. You also want to check how compact the stroller and car seat can be folded to make it easier to store them.

Certain travel systems allow you to replace the infant car seat with a toddler's seat when your child outgrows it, which gives you an extra 1-2 years of use. This is a great option if you're planning to use the car seat for longer than one year, or if your partner regularly uses ride-sharing services or commutes by bus or train.

Graco's All in One Car Seat and Stroller is a great option for families seeking a solution that is all-in one. It's easy to transfer from the car seat to the stroller and back thanks to the LATCH system that secures the seat swiftly and securely in your car. It is also certified for air travel, so you can board and off public transportation with confidence. The All-in-One Car Seat & Stroller can be transformed into a double stroller so that you can take your child on adventures around the globe. It's also available in a range of vibrant colors to complement any outfit.
