Travel systems that have been evaluated by editors allow you to move your baby who is sleeping in the car to a stroller without disturbing them. Some travel systems come with an infant carrycot to help encourage natural sleep.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system includes an infant car seat as well as stroller that snaps together. This is a great solution for parents who regularly run errands or take their baby on rides or public transport. “You’ll have less equipment to deal with,” explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. “And it’s ideal for families that alternate between carpooling and public transit with other moms.”

A top pick is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which receives an incredible 90% of five-star reviews on Amazon. It’s a rear facing car seat that converts 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 a car backseat with the rigid LATCH base, or to taxi safety belts. This makes it perfect for urban families.

The Mamas & Papas Pramette is a top car seat/stroller combination, featuring a pram that has the hood as well as a the front seat, which opens to let you lay your child down to sleep or for feedings. It comes with a huge basket, cup holders, and an umbrella shade for your baby’s essentials. The stroller seat is a multi-position reclining seat and can recline to a flat position so baby is comfy for every ride.

The weight and height limits are important. Also, think about whether the infant car seat can only be used with a backseat belt or if it has a rigid LATCH system that is built-2 in 1 travel system. Look for a handle lock to secure the handle 2 in 1 pushchair and car seat position. You can tilt the handle to the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats that can be turned forward-facing later, do not snap into strollers. This is why many moms choose to purchase an additional stroller and car seat when their baby grows out of the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is an essential piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems include a baby stroller that can transform into a comfortable infant carrycot so your child can rest comfortably on the go which is ideal for newborns and parents who don’t want to disturb them while traveling. Depending on the model they may also include the option of a stroller and car seat combo that clicks into one another. This means that you can keep your child secure in the car seat and then transfer them to a pushchair without disturbing them, which is ideal for long drives and busy shopping centers.

A great stroller should include many features that make it simple to use and practical. It should come with an ample basket for storing essential items such as nappies, toys, and snacks. It should also be able recline so that your child can sleep comfortably. It should have a canopy to protect your child from the sun and also a lockable wheel at the front for safety. It should also be lightweight and compact to store it in and transporting to and from the car.

Travel system strollers that have been tested by an editor such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all provide convenience by connecting to a variety top car seats that snap to the frame and fold up effortlessly. Some models also have a single wheel at each leg, which makes them more maneuverable and roll on different surfaces.

The ideal stroller should be able to carry your child throughout the stage of toddlerhood, and beyond, so that you can continue using it to get your child to and from activities, school and play dates. This is why you should choose a stroller that has an opening that allows your child to face the world (and reclines) after your child has outgrown the car seat.

If you intend to use your 2 in 1 bassinet stroller-in-1 travel system on public transport, look for one with an ISOFIX base so it’s safe to get on and off trains or buses. Some models, like the Doona can be fitted on planes and trains to make traveling with your baby pushchair 2 in 1 easier.
