Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The best car seat stroller combos are so simple to connect that it's like they're doing it themselves. "Look for an appropriate base and a carrier that can be easily clicked together," advises Stanton. This minimizes the potential for errors that can happen during installation and detachment.

One option that accomplishes this is the Doona that seamlessly converts from car seat to stroller, and also makes room for the trunk. Online reviewers love the Doona's functionality and ease of use, but they also praise its robust feel.

Easy to Assemble

Parents who don't want to switch between strollers and car seats often find a mix of both attractive. It also makes sense for those who regularly take public transportation or rideshares as well as those who switch between caregivers. "These are a single piece of equipment and the wheels are attached to the car seat, meaning they're more naturally portable," says Stanton. However, she notes, it's important to ensure that your car seat is properly secured when using it with an electronic travel system. She says to always follow the manufacturer's instructions and your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure an ideal fit.

In our tests, we found that the top stroller and car seat combos come with a simple click-in connection that requires little effort beyond moving the carrier from one to another. These models scored better than those with more complex connections, since they require less pressure and have fewer opportunities for mistakes (intentional or accidental). We like, for instance, the fact that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment that does not require straps and that it includes a meter at the bottom of the car seat that shows when the seat is leveled properly.

The Doona All in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller, is also easy to install and transfer from car to stroller. It's a seamless conversion that allows you to make use of the extra space in your trunk to go for shopping or running errands. It also has a swivel steering wheel at the front that allows for excellent maneuverability even with the seat on.

Another option is Britax B Lively & B Safe Gen2 Travel System. It has a springy chassis and a large fold-down chassis that can be easily stored. It has a spacious basket, as well as plenty of cup holders to hold snacks, drinks and baby equipment. Its padded seat is comfortable for long trips and the tagless smooth-touch fabric is machine washable. It is FAA-approved and comes with a safety strap that can be locked beneath or around the shoulders of your baby. It also has a SafeCell Crumple Zone to safeguard them if they are in an accident.

A great travel system should also be easy to push, and our top picks all have rubber tires that have a single, swivel front wheel for navigating busy roads and sidewalks. The Thule Urban Glide pushchairs 2 in 1 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro are all smooth-gliding and feature convenient features such as one-hand braking and an ample storage basket.

Easy to Store

Parents who want their baby to be as comfortable as possible should consider a car seat and stroller combination, whether they are running errands for the day or planning an outing with the family. Stroller-car seat combos are simpler to maneuver than separate items, and a number of models come with convenient features that distinguish them from the rest. It's important to remember that the car seat has to be compatible with the stroller in order for them to work together. The car seat manufacturer should give guidelines on which strollers can be used with their product. A quick online search can help you narrow your options.

Certain strollers and car seats have a direct attachment that snaps into place without the need for additional straps or complicated installation. This type of easy attachment is a major benefit for families who regularly take public transport or ride-share vehicles. The Doona is an FAA approved infant car seat that can be converted into stroller with the click of a button. This is a great time-saver and helps you avoid having your stroller checked at the gate on planes (assuming that you've also purchased an airline chair for your baby), or to jump into and out of a taxi.

Other stroller-car-seat combos such as the Nuna TrVL allow parents to remove the infant car seat from the stroller base, and fold it easily into a compact package which can be tucked away into the trunk. This is a fantastic feature for families with busy schedules and the stroller itself is sleek and stylish, with top-quality fabrics and clever touches such as a built-in curtain canopy that can protect a sleepy baby.

In the end, the ideal 2 in 1 stroller car seat for your family will be contingent on your preferences, lifestyle and growth plans and budget. The cheapest models are likely to be frame strollers that accommodate a car seat for a child with little extra space. Higher-end combos will include a toddler seat, a twin stroller or more advanced features. Whatever you choose you can be assured that the stroller and car seat will meet the highest standards of safety.

Easy to carry

These combinations are perfect for families that want to avoid gate checking an infant car seat when flying. They are also ideal for those who regularly take public transport or ride-sharing services. These strollers and cars seats are easy to carry and are ideal for parents who prefer their hands free when traveling with their children.

Find a light and compact 2 in 1 stroller/car seat. These types of strollers have a smoother ride and can be easier to push on different terrains. Additionally, the smaller frames can aid in getting the car seat in and out of a trunk or the back of a vehicle.

Some of the most popular car seats/strollers are lightweight compact and foldable casters that make it easy to store. For example the Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is an easy-to-use seat that converts from an rear-facing five-point harness into a booster for kids who are no longer in an infant carrier. It's reasonably priced, light (12 pounds) and comes with LATCH straps that are user-friendly (we didn't score it as the best option for its ease of installation).

Other 2 in 1 stroller with car seat in 1 stroller 2 in 1 car seat car seats include the Doona that is a standout because it's a single piece of equipment that transitions from an infant car seat that faces rearwards to a stroller in a few clicks. This lets you skip the hassle of getting your car seat removed from its base, and also allows you to walk up and down the stairs or get into taxis without having your car seat stored.

The Doona is a budget-friendly choice that is a great choice to parents who are just starting out. It's cheaper than the cost of a year's gym membership, and it gives new parents peace of mind that they'll have a safe and secure travel kit for their baby.

Many families opt for a two-piece stroller/car seat system if they're set on an infant carrier of a specific brand or have plans for more than one child. If that's the scenario, be sure to read the product specs to ensure your chosen stroller and car seat can work in tandem. Also, consider buying an adapter in order to fit your preferred combination.

Easy to Fold

The stroller and car seat combination is an excellent choice for parents looking for a single item that can serve multiple purposes. They are able to effortlessly switch from being a car seat to a stroller, and back to a car seat, and are usually easier to maneuver than two-piece travel systems. Stanton says they're designed to be more portable. "They contain fewer moving parts, making them easy to fold and use as well as carry."

These car seats and strollers for infants are also lighter than two-piece models and can be easily transported in small trunks. These strollers and infant car seats tend to be lighter and feature more useful features, like cup holders and sun shades. Some have a swivel front wheel that's great for navigating crowded streets and stores.

Some brands, like Doona offer a stroller and baby car seat that can be used together. These can be particularly helpful parents who plan to take advantage of rideshares or public transportation, or who change caregivers frequently. This model is a rear-facing car seat with wheels that can be transformed into stroller.

Other brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to insert the car seat and then unfold it into the shape of a stroller. The model isn't as sleek as Doona however, you can remove the car seat without having to click into the base.

You should also consider whether a particular stroller and infant car seat combo will be used with your preferred car seat brand. If the stroller and infant car seat are compatible, then you can expect a longer-lasting product as it will fit your child after they have outgrown the infant car seats.

However, it's important to note that some stroller and car seats aren't performing well in our ease-of-use tests. This could be due to the design of the product that creates difficulty or isn't convenient to navigate steps, or the weight of the stroller and car seat can make it harder to push on different terrains. It's worth reading our review to determine which one is the best for you.
