Review reviews and look at features to find the best car seat stroller combination for you. Spend time with your child and make it easier to travel.
Easy to Assemble
The best stroller-car seat combos are easy for you to assemble and then attach to your car and then take it off of the stroller. A good guideline is to set five minutes or less to have everything ready to go, Moriarty says. A simple, intuitive process can help you avoid mistakes which could put your baby at risk.
Graco City Select 2 Car Seat and Stroller Travel Systems stood out in our tests of ease of assembly. The entire process took less than 30 seconds. We connected the infant car seat and toddler seats which were then connected to the base with one click. Then, we connected the upper and lower adapters to allow for a second seat (sold separately) or bassinet. This made a stroller that can grow alongside your family members, offering more than 22 seating configurations, including the included seat, and up to 45 pounds of weight capacity in each seat.
UPPAbaby’s Vista v2 Combo also impressed us with its sprung all-wheel suspension that can withstand even the most rough roads. The combo is costly however, it includes the bassinet, car and a weather shield to keep your child happy.
We also noted how it was easy for us to move the stroller. The City Mini GT Combo from Baby Jogger features one wheel on the front which is ideal for turning around corners or going through narrow aisles, whereas the Thule Urban Glide 2 and BOB Alterrain Pro have swivel wheels to handle tight turns. These options were easy to push even with an infant car seat on the top. We also loved how the frame folds down easily and compactly.
The most simple-to-use combination was the Doon. Its compact size and easy fold (which an editor found "amazing that you can do with a baby on the hip!") make it an ideal space saver. The car seat can be separated from the base with just a click and release. The only issue with the Doon is that it requires straps for the carrier to be secured. Some parents might not use them, but that's just an issue of minor importance.
Easy to Fold
A two in one car seat stroller combination can be an essential tool when it comes to streamlining your day-to-day routine. It's important to be able transfer your child with ease from the car to the stroller if you take public transportation. "Look for an option that is easily removed from the base, and then attaches and detaches to the stroller frame with a one-hand motion," Moriarty advises. The Doona Combo is a great example of a stroller and car seat combo that meets these requirements.
The unique design of this stroller allows it to transform from a newborn car seat to an adult seat, allowing you to swap out the car seat to suit your growing child's requirements. It's also designed to be compact and folds up flat, making it a good option for those traveling. It performed well in our tests and the suspension is outstanding. The seat can be stowed with the handlebar still connected.
However the Doona isn't a good choice for babies under 4 months, since it can only be removed from its base and then attached to the stroller in the use of one hand. It's also difficult to fold when the infant carrier is attached. The Nuna Pipa is the best option for infants because it doesn't need a base and works with a sturdy LATCH connector that is built into the car seat.
It's more expensive than the Doona, but it offers additional features that make it well worth the investment. The Pipa is light and folds into a free-standing position, so it's easy to carry around. It's also a bit larger than the Doona and can hold a medium-size backpack. And its canopy is very impressive, with several options for adjusting the coverage as well as providing shade. It's a great option for international travel as it can be put in the car without a base, and is certified to fly. The only issue is that it won't fit in the overhead bins of many airplanes.
Convenient Cargo Area
When shopping for a car seat stroller combo it is important to make sure that the stroller has ample space to hold both your child's items and your own. Look for features such as a large storage basket and a hook for the diaper bag and an outside cargo pocket that can hold a water bottle. Consider a child tray with pockets inside for snacks and drinks and an adult cupholder.
Car seat and stroller combination that folds easily and compactly are great for parents with limited storage space. The best can be folded with one hand and fit in small trunks. A majority of them remain upright when folded to prevent creases. This makes them a great option for busy families on-the-go.
Another convenient feature to look for in a stroller is one with an adjustable handlebar. You'll want to be able to adjust it to different levels to ensure that you're in a comfortable position while pushing the stroller. You'll need to modify the footrest so that it fits the growing toes of your child.
A travel system with bassinets is perfect for newborns and infants. The Mompush Meteor 2 makes a ideal choice as it can swiftly transform from a bassinet into a seat. This means you don't have to switch your baby's stroller or car seat when they grow.
2 in 1 infant car seat and stroller is a great example of the stroller and car seat combination that folds easily and compactly. It is heavier and heavier (weighing 17 lbs when the car seat is attached) However, it has numerous features that are worth the extra weight. It has a huge canopy and easy-to use brakes.
Other things to consider when shopping for a car seat and stroller include a one-handed recline with a harness that is easy to use and buckles, as well an extended sun canopy. One-hand recline is especially useful, as it lets you adjust the seat's height while a toddler is in tow. 2 in 1 pushchair and buckle are simple to use, meaning there is no need to use complicated straps. This makes it much easier to secure your toddler.
Safety First
A well-designed combination of a stroller and car seat can help you keep your child safe on the go. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for use of your stroller and car seat including height and weight limits, to ensure your child is secure and safe in their seat. Look for an option that includes an easy-to-install LATCH base and a stroller that can be plugged into it securely. Many brands have helpful videos on YouTube that show you how to install these components correctly. The car seat should have an audible click when it's properly secured at the base and inside the stroller.
A travel system is a good option if you have to do some errands and use public transportation, as it can take on the bustle and commotion of urban life. There are models with a lightweight frame, sturdy plastic wheels, and an affixed canopy that provides plenty of coverage on sunny days. These models are generally easier to maneuver than more expensive, heavier models that are designed for rough terrain. However, they could still bump into uneven sidewalks and curbs.
If you're a jogger then look for a stroller that has an adjustable lockable wheel on the front and suspension for a smooth ride. You'll also want a stroller that has a parent tray and drinks or snacks for children on a tray. Some models also have large baskets. Some are designed with the cup holder, which is attached to the child's seat, making it easy to reach for snacks and drinks without removing the toddler's seat.
A stroller that can also double as a car seat can save you time and money by reducing the need for daily errands. However, it is important to think about your options and select the right model for your family. If you're set on an infant car seat, ensure that the stroller you select can accommodate it, or buy an adaptor if necessary. It is also important to consider the type of terrain you'll be traveling on and how much storage space you'll require. If you're a savvy shopper, consider a budget-friendly travel system that includes the renowned Graco SnugRide 35 Lite Elite infant car seat and an easy-to-fold stroller that folds compactly to fit inside your trunk.
