Car Seat

A 2-in-1 travel system that includes an infant car seat as well as a stroller that snaps together. It's a convenient option for parents and caregivers who frequently run errands with baby or take their young one out on public transportation or rideshares. "You have less gear to contend with," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's ideal for families that switch between carpooling and public transit with other moms."

Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a popular choice, with 90 % of Amazon reviews rating it five stars. It's a rear-facing vehicle seat that drops down to a stroller that can be turned into a rolling one. The change only takes seconds. The wheels fold down underneath and the Doona is compact when not in use. The Doona can also be connected to a car backseat with the sturdy LATCH base or to taxi safety belts. This makes it a great choice for city families.

The Mamas and Papas pramette is another excellent car seat/stroller combo. It comes with a pram with a hood that can be opened and a front seat that can be lowered so that your child can lie down for naps or feedings. It has a spacious basket and cup holders for all the necessities for your baby as well as a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat can recline in various positions, and it can even be flat, so your baby pushchair 2 in 1 will be able to relax on every ride.

Other important car seat features to be considered are the weight and height limits and whether the infant seat can be used only with the backseat belt or has an extra layer of protection that includes a built-in rigid LATCH system. Find a lock for the handle to ensure that the handle stays in the right place. You can tilt the handle to the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems are only compatible with infant car seats. Extended-use car seats which can be turned forward later, are not able to snap into strollers. Many moms choose to buy a separate car seat and stroller when their child has outgrown an infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for the new parents. Some travel systems include a baby stroller that can be converted into a comfortable carrycot for infants. This is ideal for parents who don't want to disturb their baby while traveling. Some brands also have a stroller and car seat combination that can be clicked together. This means that you can keep your child secure in the car seat, and then move them to a stroller without causing disturbance. This is ideal for long drives and busy shopping centres.

A good stroller needs to be equipped with a variety of features that make it functional and easy to use. It should have a large basket that can store essentials like nappies, toys and snacks and be able to recline to give your baby a comfortable rest. It should also have a canopy to protect your child from sun, and an lockable wheel on the front to ensure safety. It should also be light and compact for storage as well as transportation to and from the vehicle.

Travel system strollers that have been tested by an editor such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all offer convenience by connecting with a range of top car seats that snap to the frame and fold down with ease. Some also have a single wheel at each leg, making them more maneuverable and roll over different surfaces.

The ideal stroller should be capable of carrying your child through toddlerhood and beyond and beyond, allowing you to continue using it to get them to and from events, school and play dates. When your child outgrows their car seat, look for a stroller that has a seat facing the world and reclines.

If you intend to use your 2-in-1 travel system on public transportation you should look for a model with an ISOFIX base, which makes it safe to hop on and off trains or buses. Certain models, like the Doona can be fitted on planes and trains to make travelling with your baby easier.
