A 2 in 1 stroller with car seat in 1 Travel System

If you're looking to travel with ease or you want to create a modern take on an old-fashioned stroller, a car seat and stroller combination is the best option. Make sure to check the specifications to ensure that your car seat and stroller are compatible or think about purchasing 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 travel systems come with the option of a carrycot that encourages the natural sleep.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system comes with the infant car seat and a stroller that snap together. It's a convenience for caregivers and parents who regularly run errands with their infant or take their young one out on rideshares or public transportation. "You have less gear to contend with," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families that switch between public transportation and carpooling with other moms."

Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a popular choice, with 90 % of Amazon reviews giving five stars. It's a rear-facing vehicle seat that converts into a stroller that rolls. The transition only takes seconds. When not in use the wheels can be folded away and it's 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 & Papas pramette another great combination of a car seat and stroller. It has the pram 2 in 1 with a hood that can be opened and an front seat that can be lowered to let your child lay down for nap time or meals. It comes with a large basket and cup holders for everything your baby needs, plus a parent tray and sun shade. The stroller seat can recline in multiple positions and can be flat too so that your child will be comfortable for every ride.

Other important car seat features to be considered are the weight and height limits as well as whether the infant seat can be used with just the backseat belt or has an extra layer of protection with the LATCH system built into it. Also look for a lock on the handle to keep it safe in its place and the possibility of tilting the handle towards the rear seatback for an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats which can be turned to face forward later, cannot be converted into strollers. Because of this, many moms choose to purchase an additional stroller and car seat when their child grows out of the infant seat.

Stroller

A strlay dates, and so on. To do this, look for a model that features an open-air seat that faces the world (and reclines) when your child is no longer in the car seat.

If you are planning to use your pram 2 in 1-in-1 travel system in public transport, select one with an ISOFIX base. This will ensure that it is safe for you to get on and off buses or trains. Certain models, like the Doona can be installed on planes and trains to make traveling with your baby a lot easier.
