A 2 in 1 Travel System
Whether you are looking to move around easily or want to make a modern interpretation of a pram, a car seat and stroller combination is the best choice. Check the specs to make sure that your stroller and car seat are compatible, or you can consider buying an adaptor.
Travel systems that have been evaluated by editors allow you to transfer your baby who is sleeping in the car to a stroller, without disturbing them. Some travel systems come with a carrycot to encourage the natural sleep.
Car Seat
A 2-in-1 travel system includes an infant car seat as well as stroller that snaps together. This is a great choice for parents who frequently run errands or take their baby on public transport or rideshares. "You will have less gear to contend with," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families who switch between carpooling with other moms and using public transportation."
2 in 1 pram stroller is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which gets an incredible 90 percent of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing car seat that can be converted into a rolling jogging stroller in seconds. When not in use, the wheels can be folded away and it's a small. The Doona can also be attached to the back of a car using the LATCH base that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt paths making it perfect for city families and commuters.
The Mamas and Papas pramette is another great combination of a car seat and stroller. It has the pram with a hood that can be opened and an front seat that can be adjusted to allow your child to lay down for naps or meals. It comes with a large basket, cup holders, and a sun shade for your baby's necessities. The stroller seat features a multi-position reclining seat, and can recline to a flat position, making sure your baby is comfortable on every ride.
Other important car seat features to be considered are the weight and height limits, as well as whether the infant car seat can be used with just a car belt for backseats or has an extra layer of protection that includes a built-in rigid LATCH system. Look for a handle lock to keep the handle in position. You can also tilt the handle towards the rear seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.
Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats which can be turned forward later, do not snap into strollers. Many moms choose to buy a separate car seat and stroller when their child is no longer in an infant seat.
Stroller
A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for new parents. Some travel systems have a baby stroller that can be converted into a comfortable carrycot for infants. This is perfect for parents who don't want to disturb their newborn when traveling. Some brands also offer the option of a car seat and stroller combo that can be clicked together. This means you can keep your child secured in the car seat, and then transfer them to a pushchair without causing disturbance. This is ideal for long trips and busy shopping centres.
A great stroller should include plenty of features that make it convenient and user-friendly. It should include a large basket to store important items like nappies, toys, and snacks. It must also recline so that your child can sleep comfortably. It should also include a good canopy to protect your baby from sun and a lockable front wheel for extra security. Lastly, it should be lightweight and fold compactly to make it easy to store or transport to and from the car.
Travel system strollers that have been evaluated by editors, for instance the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo and Chicco Keyfit Caddy, offer convenience because they connect with a range of top car seats. These car seats snap onto the frame to be connected and folded quickly. Some have a single wheel on each leg, which makes them easier to manoeuvre and roll on different surfaces.
A stroller should be versatile enough to last throughout toddlerhood and beyond if you require it to to transport your child to and from school as well as to play dates and activities. This is why you should consider a model with an opening that allows your child to face the world (and reclines) when your child is no longer in the car seat.
If you intend to use your 2-in-1 travel system for public transport choose one with an ISOFIX base, which makes it safe to hop on and off buses or trains. Certain models, such as the Doona can be installed on planes and trains to make traveling with your baby easier.
