A 2 in 1 Travel System
If you want to get around with ease or make a modern interpretation of a pram, a car seat and stroller combination is the best option. Read the specs carefully to make sure your car seat and pushchair are compatible, or consider buying an adaptor.
Editor-tested travel systems let you move your sleeping newborn seamlessly from the car to the stroller, without having to disturb them. Some travel systems come with an infant carrycot to help encourage natural sleep.
Car Seat
A 2 in 1 travel system includes an infant car seat as well as a stroller that snaps together. It’s a convenient option for caregivers and parents who regularly run errands with their baby or take their little baby out on public transportation or rideshares. “You will have less gear to contend with,” explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. “And it’s great for families who alternate between public transportation and carpooling with other moms.”
Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a top choice, with 90 percent of Amazon reviews rating five stars. It’s a rear-facing car seats that transforms to a stroller that can be turned into a rolling one. The change is quick and easy. When not in 2 in 1 pram can be folded under and it’s a compact. The Doona can also be attached to a car’s backseat using the rigid LATCH base or to taxi-safe belt paths, making it perfect for commuters and families in cities.
The Mamas & Papas pramette another great combination of a car seat and stroller. It has an infant pram with a hood that opens and the front seat can be adjusted to let your child lay down for naps or meals. It comes with a huge basket, cup holders, and a sun shade for your baby’s essentials. The stroller seat can recline in multiple positions and even flat and your baby will be able to relax on every ride.
Other important car seat features to take into consideration are the weight and height limits and whether the infant car seat can be used with just a car belt for backseats or has an additional layer of protection, with an integrated LATCH system. Also, look for a locking mechanism on the handle to keep it safe in its place and the possibility of tilting the handle toward the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.
Travel systems are only suitable for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats which can be turned forward-facing later, cannot be converted into strollers. Many moms decide to purchase an additional stroller and car seat when their child is no longer in an infant seat.
Stroller
A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems come with a baby stroller that can be converted into a comfortable infant carrycot. This is perfect for parents who do not want to disturb their newborn while traveling. Based on the brand they may also include the option of a stroller and car seat combination that can be connected to each other. This lets you keep your child in the car seat and then transfer them to a stroller without disturbing them.
A great stroller should be equipped with a variety of features that make it functional and user-friendly. It should have a large storage basket that can hold essential items such as nappies as well as toys and snacks. It can also recline so that your baby can lie down comfortably. It should also have an umbrella to protect your child from the sun, and a lockable wheel at the front to ensure safety. It should also be lightweight and compact for storage and transporting to and from the car.
Editor-tested travel system strollers like the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all provide convenience by connecting with a range of top car seats that click to attach to the frame and fold with ease. Some have one wheel on each leg to make them more maneuverable and easier to roll over different surfaces.
A stroller should be versatile enough to last through toddlerhood and beyond if you want it to carry your child to and from school as well as to play dates and activities. For this reason, look for a model that has an open-air seat that faces the world (and reclines) after your child has outgrown the car seat.
If you plan to utilize your 2-in-1 travel system on public transportation, you should choose a model that has an ISOFIX base. This will ensure that it is safe for you to hop on and off trains or buses. Certain models, such as the Doona can be mounted on trains and planes to make traveling with your baby a lot easier.
