A 2 in 1 pushchair pram in 1 travel system with car seat offers parents the convenience of having a baby car seat and a stroller that can work together. However they can be costly.

These combos make it simple for parents to move a sleeping baby from the car to the stroller and back without disturbing them up. This is a great choice for families that tend to spend much of their time in the car.

Comfort

If you're looking for an easy way to transfer your baby from the car to stroller without awakening them an infant car seat, a travel system that includes a stroller seat and infant car seat may be just what you're looking for. Unlike stroller-only combinations, these all-in-ones usually have an infant car seat and a stroller that can be linked and can be used with toddlers as well as newborns. A lot of the car-and-stroller combos on our list include a bassinet, which can be used as an alternative to a traditional stroller for walks during naptime.

A 2 in 1 stroller and car seat-in-1 travel system that comes with a car seat will cost more than purchasing the items separately, but you'll save money and time by purchasing them together. And if you decide later that the stroller and car seat aren't quite right for your family, many brands offer adaptors that allow you to use your chosen car seat with another stroller (provided it is able to meet the weight and height requirements).

One thing to keep in mind when you are shopping for a travel system is that these sets usually comprise an infant car seat and a stroller made to work together, which is intended to be used during the first 12 months. If you intend to keep the car seat after this period you should choose a model that includes a convertible car seat that is suitable for toddlers and has a higher weight limit.

Some travel systems include an additional seat that can be used to help older children. This is a wonderful feature, but it may not be appropriate for your lifestyle.

The UPPAbaby, a favorite of our editors, PIPA stroller and car seat combo have numerous features that will keep your child and you comfortable. These products feature springy all-wheel-suspension to smooth out the ride. The PIPA car seat also has an integrated drape canopy that protects the baby who is sleeping. They also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on vehicles without a base, making it an ideal option for families who regularly utilize ride-sharing services or two cars.

Convenience

These combos are perfect for parents who often run errands or take their babies on public transport such as trains and buses. It is easy to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without worrying about wake them up.

A few of the top strollers and car seat combinations allow you to transform to a double as your family grows. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 highchair Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot that can accommodate two. This is especially important if your car seat is your baby's sole vehicle seat.

Other stroller-car seat combinations may have more complex conversion methods. You may have to manually attach the car seat to the stroller or attach straps to base to ensure it is secured. This method was more difficult to master during our testing than the Doona's one-step conversion. It can pose dangerous if you misplace or forget to secure the straps prior using the travel system.

A car seat/stroller combo is convenient, but you should also think about whether the strollers and infant car seats will work together in the time you need them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos are rear-facing only infant car seats that are designed to be used until your child turns one. The car seats can't be attached to strollers once they are no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller product, such as Doona can be used as toddler car seats with an additional seatbelt booster once your child has outgrown the infant car seat but it is too big to fit into traditional strollers.

Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for babies through the early years of childhood. If your child is out of the infant car seat, you can replace the travel system by larger strollers that can be used by older children and toddlers. Keep in mind that you must always make sure that your infant car seat is set up properly and never remove it from your vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

The combination of a car seat and stroller allows for easy transfer of infants from a car to a stroller, and in reverse, without disrupting or waking them. Rothman says this is particularly useful when you are running errands and traveling. To ensure extra safety, choose a car seat which attaches to a stroller using a rigid LATCH system or an easy-on system. This will ensure the car seat is safe when it's used and will not fall off or fall off during transportation. Combinations of car seats and strollers that can be used with or without the base are also an excellent option for ride-share vehicles.

When you are looking for a travel system, check the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat as well as the stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats which are designed to be used during the first 12 months of a child's life. A lot of these seats switch to a forward-facing seat that will stay in the car or snap into a stroller that is compatible. It is important to study the labels and follow all instructions with care, says Stanton, especially when it comes to making sure your child is in the proper weight and height limits for both the car seat as well as the stroller.

Some parents prefer to purchase separate products to create their own travel systems, others prefer pre-packaged strollers and car seats It is not unusual to see companies to offer these sets. They're usually cheaper than buying the items individually. Sets like UPPAbaby’s popular Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seats are sought-after. The stroller has smooth riding with springy suspension on all wheels, and a large basket to hold all your baby's equipment. The car seat is low-profile and comes with a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. It is quick and simple installation thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat features a four-position adjustable headrest with four harness settings as well as padding to ensure the comfort of your child. It is easy to clean, and folds in one hand.

Style

Although it's tempting to purchase a travel system to enjoy the convenience of transferring your baby from car to stroller and back again without waking them up, that's not the only reason to consider one. You should also look for an option with a fashionable design, that is easy to move around and comes with a variety of other features for your child's comfort as well as yours.

The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one box for seamless transition from vehicle to street. They typically feature a one-piece infant car seat that snaps easily into a compatible stroller and some include a bassinet attachment for strolls during nap time (safety research shows that babies sleep better in a reclined position).

Strollers and infant car seats that are designed to work with two in one travel systems are light and sturdy, making them easy to push, maneuver and fold. Look for models with rubber tires with a swivel wheel on the front for city streets, and a big cargo basket that can hold multiple shopping bags. You should also consider how small the stroller and car seat are when they're folded to make it easier to store them.

Certain travel systems allow you to change the infant car seat with a toddler car seat once your child has outgrown it. This gives you an additional 2 in 1 baby pram to 3 years of use. This is a great option for those who intend to use the seat for longer than a year or if they have a companion who is a commuter on a bus, train or ride-share.
