Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use

The Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1, is a combination of two of the most important baby items: strollers and infant car seats. It makes hopping off and on public transportation (and climbing and descending stairs) so much easier.

One of the best options for this is the Doona infant car seat & stroller combo. It's the first integrated travel system that lets you to switch between your car seat and stroller in just a few seconds without disturbing your sleepy baby.

Simple to use

Parents must have a stroller and car seat combination that is easy to use. These systems make it simple to switch between running errands, walking your dog, or taking an exercise. They also help you keep up with your child's changing needs, so you can focus on enjoying your family's adventures. Our test subjects are awed by how easily and smoothly these travel systems glide whether they have a single front wheel or a rotating front wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are particularly maneuverable and even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pushed easily using just one hand.

Certain models are difficult to attach or detach from the base, however. The Doona Combo, for example requires a two-step attach process and straps that slide over the infant carrier's bottom portion. It is tempting to skip these steps, but this could lead to dangerous results.

Some models are more difficult to fold and store than others, which makes them less practical. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is difficult to fold due to its massive dimensions and bulky frame. It also has a small canopy, which some testers find disappointing. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is simple to fold, with only a push of a button and a pull of the lever. This model is a fantastic choice for parents who want to use their car seat in the other cars, as it can be easily removed from the base.

Easy to Fold

It doesn't matter if you're keeping the car seat on its own, in the trunk of your car or even in the closet, it should be simple to fold and unfold. The best 2 in 1 prams combos we've tested come with an easy fold that's one-handed and strong enough to be used on long strolls. They're also easy to maneuver, gliding smoothly over bumps and uneven surfaces. We've seen some combinations that can only be connected or disengaged using straps which can be a hassle and make it harder for parents to secure the car reversible seat prams properly.

We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo for its handy features and sturdy construction, which include a large storage basket that is accessible from front to back. SafeCenter LATCH, a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, makes it easy to install a car seat by connecting the lower anchors and securing the straps.

It's also fairly light, making it an excellent option for families and frequent travelers with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored highly in our tests of user-friendliness. Both have one front wheel that's easy to push (one-handed! ) and an swivel front wheel that can be swiveled that's perfect for shopping and running the errands. The only drawback is that they're quite heavy and may be difficult to lift up when a baby is in car seats.

Easy to Assemble

Some car seat and stroller combos can be tricky to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the simplest travel systems to assemble. It even comes with a handy guide. Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista V2 Thule urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also easy to put together. In contrast the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps - attaching the lower anchors, and using straps to cover the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy, so it takes two people to secure the carrier in the base, and then remove it.

In our tests, it took about 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby Cruz. It's a fairly quick procedure when you take into account the time saved by not having to remove each piece. The toddler seat can be attached and detached easily on most of these models.
