Safety

The combination of the car seat and stroller allows you to easily transfer infants from the vehicle to a stroller, and reverse the process without disrupting or waking them. This is particularly useful when you're on the go or traveling, says Rothman. To ensure your safety, Tandem prams choose a car seat which attaches to a stroller using the rigid LATCH system or a click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat is safe when it's in use and won't come loose or fall off during transport. Combinations of car seats and stroller that can be used with or without the base are an excellent option for vehicles that ride-share.

When you are looking for a stroller, make sure you know the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat and stroller.

Stanton says it's crucial to follow all instructions and labels particularly when it comes time to ensure your child's weight and height requirements of the car seat as well as the stroller.

While some parents prefer to purchase separate products and create their own travel system, it's not uncommon to see companies sell pre-packaged car seat and stroller set-ups. These sets are usually cheaper than purchasing them separately. For instance, UPPAbaby's Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set.

Make sure you choose models with rubber tires with a swivel wheels on the front to allow for city streets and a large cargo basket and can hold multiple shopping bags.
