A 2 in 1 Travel System With Car Seat A 2-in-1 travel set-up with car seats provides parents with the convenience of a car seat for their infant as well as stroller that are able to work together. However they can be expensive. These combos make it easy for parents to transport a sleeping baby from car to stroller and back without disturbing them up. This is a great choice for families that spend the majority of their time on the move. Comfort If you're looking for a simple way to transition your baby from the car to stroller without awakening them, a travel system with a stroller seat and infant car seat could be what you need. Unlike stroller-only combinations, these all-in-ones typically include an infant car seat and a stroller that click together and are suitable for toddlers and newborns. A lot of the car seat and stroller combos on our list have an attachment for a bassinet which is an alternative to a traditional stroller for walks during naptime. While a two-in-one travel system that includes a car seat may cost more than separate items but you'll probably save time and money by purchasing them all in one package. If you decide that the stroller and car seat aren't suitable for your family the majority of brands have adaptors that allow you to use the car seat in conjunction with another stroller. One thing to keep in mind when you are shopping 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 for the first 12 months. If you intend to keep the seat and using it after this point, consider one with an convertible car seat that can be used as a toddler seat and has a higher weight limit. Some travel systems come with a second seat which can be used to support older children. This is a wonderful feature, but it may not be appropriate for your needs. Take a look at our top picks of strollers and car seats to find an affordable travel system that will last for several years. Our top choices, which have been tested by our editors like the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combination come with a variety of features to ensure that you and your baby remain comfortable. They have a springy all-wheel suspensions to smooth the ride, and the PIPA car seat comes with an inbuilt drape canopy that is perfect to protect a child who is snoozing. They also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used with vehicles that do not have a base, making it a perfect option for families that frequently use ride-share services or have two cars. Convenience These are great for parents who run errands or take their babies on public transportation like buses and trains. You can easily move your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing or wake them up. A few of the top stroller-car seat combinations can be turned into a double when you grow your family. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo which comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place, instantly transforming into a sleek chariot for two. This is particularly important if your car seat is the sole vehicle seat for your baby. Other stroller-car seat combos may have more complicated conversion procedures. You may need to manually snap the car seat onto stroller or attach straps to the base to ensure it is secured. This method was more difficult to master during our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. It can be a safety risk if you misplace or forget to secure the straps prior to using the travel system. While a combo of a stroller and car seat is convenient, you must be aware of whether the infant car seat and stroller will work as long as you need them to. Most car seat/stroller combination products are rear-facing only infant car seats that are made to be used until your child turns one. The car seats do not attach to strollers when they are no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seat/stroller products, such as Doona can be used as car seats for toddlers with the seatbelt booster when your child is no longer in the infant car seat, but it is too big to fit in most traditional strollers. The most effective combination is a car seat and stroller for babies to early childhood. When two in one pram is no longer in the car seats for infants, you should look into buying a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a larger model that can be used by older children and toddlers. Also, keep in mind that you should always ensure the infant car seat is set up correctly and never take it from your vehicle without taking off the straps first. Safety The combination of a stroller and car seat allows for easy transfer of infants from a vehicle to a stroller, and in reverse, without disturbing or waking them up. Rothman says this is especially useful when you're conducting errands or travel. To ensure extra safety, choose a car seat that is attached to a stroller via the rigid LATCH system or an easy-on system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain safe while being used and will not slide off or come loose in the course of transport. Car seat and stroller combinations that work without or with a base are also good options for ride-share vehicles. When looking for a new stroller, make sure you know the age and weight limits of both the car seat and the stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats which are only intended for use for the first 12 months of the life of a child. A lot of these car seats then change to a forward-facing seat that is able to remain in the vehicle or snap into a stroller that is compatible. 2 in 1 prams is important to be aware of the labels and follow all instructions carefully, adds Stanton particularly when it comes down to ensuring your child is within the correct weight and height requirements for both the car seat as well as the stroller. While some parents prefer to buy separate products and create their own travel system, it's not uncommon to see companies sell pre-packaged car seats and strollers combination sets. These sets are usually cheaper than purchasing them separately. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are highly sought after. The stroller is smooth ride, springy all-wheel suspension and a large storage basket that can hold all of your baby gear. The car seat is low profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to set up. The car seat features a four-position headrest, four harness heights and an insert that is cushioned for your little one's comfort. It is easy to clean and comes with a one-hand fold, which makes it easy for storage. Style While it's tempting to purchase a travel system for the convenience of transferring your baby from car to stroller and back without having to wake them up, it's not the only reason to look into one. You should also choose one that is stylish, easy to maneuver, and has a number of other features that ensure it's comfortable for your child and you. The most effective travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one package for a seamless transition from vehicle to street. They typically come with a single car seat that is easily converted into a stroller that is compatible with it. Some even come with a bassinet for naps (safety studies have shown that babies sleep better when they are in a reclining position). Strollers and infant car seats made to work with two in one travel systems are lightweight and sturdy, making them easy to push, maneuver, and fold. Look for models with rubber tires with a swivel wheel on the front for city streets, and a large cargo basket that can hold many 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 replace the infant car seat with a toddler car seat when your child grows out of it. This gives you an additional 2 to 3 years of use. This is a great option if you're planning on using the car seat for longer than a year, or if your partner is frequently using ride-share services or commutes by bus or train. Graco's All-in One Car Seat and Stroller makes a great choice for families who are looking for a solution that is all-in one. It's easy to move from car seat to stroller and back again, thanks to the LATCH system that locks the seat quickly and safely in your car.

The All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller can also be converted to double strollers, allowing you to take your baby on global adventures. It is available in a range of vibrant colors that match any outfit.
