A cheap 2 in 1 prams in 1 Travel System With Car Seat
A 2 in 1 pram system-in-1 travel set-up with car seats offers parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant and stroller that are able to work together. However, they can be expensive.
These combos make it simple for parents to take a sleepy baby from car to stroller 2in1 and back without disturbing them. This is a great option for families that tend to spend the majority of their time on the move.
Comfort
If you’re looking for a simple way to transfer your baby from car to stroller without disturbing them, a travel system with the stroller seat as well as an infant car seat may be just what you’re looking for. These are different from stroller-only combinations since they typically include an infant car seat as well as a stroller. They can be used for infants as well as older children. Many of the car seats and strollers combos that make our list come with a bassinet attachment as well, which can be an alternative to a stroller for naps.
While a two-in-one travel system that includes a car seat might cost more than separate products, you’ll likely save time and money by purchasing them as a set. If you decide later that the car seat and stroller aren’t the right fit for your family, a majority of brands have adaptors that let you to use your selected car seat with a stroller (provided it is tall and weighs the same requirements).
One thing to be aware of when you are shopping for a travel set is that they typically include an infant car seat and a stroller made to work together, which is intended to be used for the first 12 months. If you intend to keep the car seat and using it after this period, look for an option that has a convertible car seat that can also be used as a toddler’s seat and has a heavier weight limit.
Some travel systems have an additional seat that can be used to boost older children. This is a nice feature, but it may not be practical for your lifestyle.
If you’re looking to purchase a travel system that will last for a couple of years, look through our top picks for car seats as well as strollers. The UPPAbaby, a favorite of our editors, PIPA stroller and car seat combo come with many features that will keep you and your child in a comfortable position. These strollers feature springy all-wheel suspension to ease the ride. The PIPA car seat also features a built in drape canopy to protect a child who is snoozing. They also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used with vehicles without a base, making it an ideal option for families that frequently use ride-share services or have two cars.
Convenience
Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for parents who often run the errands of their children or take them out on public transport like buses and trains. You can easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without disturbing or waking them.
Some of the best strollers and car seat combinations allow you to transform to a double as your family grows. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, which features an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform into a sleek chariot that can accommodate two. This is particularly crucial if the car seat will be your baby’s sole vehicle seat.
Other car seat and stroller combos have more complex conversion procedures that require you to manually snap the car seat of your infant onto the stroller or use straps that attach to the base to fix it. In our testing, this method was often more difficult to master than the single-step method of the Doona. It could pose an accident hazard in the event that you lose or forget to attach the straps before using the travel system.
While a combo of a stroller and car seat is convenient, you should be aware of whether the stroller and car seat for your infant can work together for as long as you require them to. The majority of car seats and strollers feature rear-facing infant car seat designed to be used until your child reaches the age of one. The car seats do not snap onto a stroller when they’re no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seats/strollers product, such as Doona can be used as toddler car seats that come with the seatbelt booster when your child has outgrown the infant car seat however, it is too large to fit into most conventional strollers.
The ideal combination is an infant car seat and Multi-terrain Prams a stroller for babies to early childhood. If your child has outgrown the infant car seats it is recommended to consider buying a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a bigger model that can accommodate older children and toddlers. Always ensure that your infant car seat is installed correctly. Do not remove it from your car without first removing the straps.
Safety
The combination of the car seat and stroller allows you to easily transfer infants from a car to a stroller, and vice versa without disrupting or waking them. Rothman says this is especially useful when you’re running errands and traveling. For extra safety, look for a car seat that attaches to the stroller via an easy click or a rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain secure while in use and will not slide off or become loose during transportation. Car seat and stroller combinations that can work with or without bases are also great options for vehicles that ride-share.
When looking for a new travel system, check the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat and stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats which are only intended for use for the first 12 months of the child’s life. These car seats can be changed to a forward facing car seat which can either be used in a vehicle or converted into a stroller. Stanton insists that you read all labels and instructions particularly when it comes time to ensure your child is in compliance with the weight and height requirements of both the car seat as well as the stroller.
While some parents prefer to purchase separate products to create their own travel system and others prefer to buy pre-packaged stroller and car seats it is not unusual to see companies offer these sets. They are usually priced lower than purchasing the items separately. For instance, UPPAbaby’s Vista stroller and Mesa infant car seat is a sought-after set. The stroller offers a smooth ride, springy suspension on all wheels, and a huge storage basket to store all of your baby gear. The car seat is slim and has a SafeCell crumple zone to provide additional security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to put in. The car seat has an adjustable headrest that can be adjusted in four positions, four harness settings and padding to ensure your child’s comfort. It is easy to clean, and folds with just one hand.
Style
While it’s tempting to purchase an infant travel system due to the convenience of transferring your baby from stroller to car and back again without waking them up, that’s not the only reason to think about one. You should also consider one that’s stylish, maneuvers well and comes with a variety of other features to ensure it’s comfortable for your child and yourself.
The most effective travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one box to allow a seamless transition from vehicle to street. They typically come with a single car seat that is easily converted into a stroller that is compatible with it. Some even include an infant bassinet to sleep in (safety studies have proven that babies sleep better when they are in the reclining position).
Strollers and infant car seats made to work with 2 in 1 travel systems are light and sturdy, making them easy to push, maneuver, and fold. Choose models with rubber tires and a swivel front wheel 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 fold to make storage easier.
Certain travel systems allow you to change the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat when your child is no longer using it. This allows you to enjoy an additional two years of use. This is a great option for those who plan to use the seat for longer than a year or if a partner travels by bus, train or ride-share.
The All-in-1 Car Seat and Stroller is a top choice for families that want an all-in-one solution. The rigid system built into LATCH lets you easily switch from stroller to car seat and back. It’s also a certified air travel, so you can get on and off public transport in peace. The All-in-One Car Seat and Stroller can also be converted to a double stroller, which allows you to take your little one on global adventures. It is available in a range of vibrant colors that will match any outfit.
