2in1 pushchair in 1 Travel System If you're looking to move around easily or want to make a modern interpretation of an old-fashioned stroller, the car seat and stroller combo is the best option. Check the specs to ensure that your stroller and car seat are compatible, or you can consider buying an adapter. Travel systems that have been tested by editors allow you to transfer your baby who is sleeping in the car to the stroller without disrupting them. Some come with a carrycot to allow for natural sleep. Car Seat A 2-in-1 travel system includes an infant car seat as well as a stroller that snap together. It's a convenience for parents and caregivers who regularly run errands with baby or take their little child on public transportation or rideshares. “You'll have less equipment to deal with,” explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. “And it's perfect for families that alternate between carpooling with other moms or taking public transportation.” A top pick is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which has 90% of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing car seat that can be converted into a rolling jogging stroller in just a few seconds. When not in use the wheels can be folded away and it is compact. The Doona can also be attached to a car's backseat using the rigid LATCH base, or to taxi-safety belts. This makes it ideal for city families. The Mamas and Papas Pramette is yet another great car seat/stroller combination, featuring the pram having the hood as well as a the front seat, which opens to allow you to lie your child down to sleep or feedings. It has a spacious basket with cup holders to store all the necessities for your baby as well as a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat can recline in multiple positions and even flat and your baby will be comfortable on every ride. The weight and height limits are important. Also, think about whether the infant car seat can only be used with a backseat belt or if it has a rigid LATCH system built in. Also look for a lock on the handle to ensure it stays secure, as well as the ability to tilt the handle towards the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar. It is important to note that travel systems work only with infant car seats. Extended-use car seats that can later be made forward-facing transform into strollers. For this reason, many moms choose to purchase a separate stroller and car seat when their baby grows out of the infant seat. Stroller A stroller is a must-have piece of equipment for newly parents. Some travel systems include a baby pram which can be converted into a comfortable infant carrycot. This is a great option for parents who don't want to disturb their baby while traveling. Depending on the model they may also include a car seat and stroller combination that connects to one another. This lets you keep your child in the car seat and then transfer them to the stroller without disturbing them. A great stroller should include plenty of features to make it practical and user-friendly. It should have a large storage basket that can hold essentials such as nappies, toys, and snacks. It can also recline so that your baby can lie down comfortably. It should also have an umbrella to protect your child from the sun and also an lockable wheel on the front for safety. It should also be lightweight and compact for storage as well as transporting to and from the car. Travel system strollers that have been tested by an editor such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all have the benefit of connecting with a range of top car seats that can be attached to the frame and fold easily. Some have one wheel on each leg to make them easier to move and roll over different surfaces. Ideal strollers should be able to carry your child through toddlerhood and beyond and allow you to continue to use it to transport them to and from activities, school and play dates. If your child is outgrowing their car seat, you should consider a stroller that is able to seat your child in the world and can recline. If you intend to utilize your 2-in-1 system on public transportation, you should choose one with an ISOFIX base. This will ensure it is safe to get off and on buses or trains. Some models, like the Doona, can even be mounted on trains and planes to make traveling with a baby even simpler.
