These combos make it easy for parents to take a sleepy baby from car to stroller and back again without waking them. This is an excellent option for families who are always moving.

Comfort

If you're looking for an easy way to transfer your baby prams 2 in 1 from car to stroller without disturbing them the next morning, a travel set-up that includes a stroller seat and infant car seat might be the thing you're looking for. In contrast to stroller-only combos, these all-in-ones typically include an infant car seat and stroller that connect, and can be used with both newborns and toddlers. Many of the car-pram and stroller 2 in 1-stroller combinations on our list include a bassinet that can be used as a safe alternative to a stroller for naptime walks.

While a 2 in 1 travel system with a car seat might cost more than separate items however, you'll likely save time and money if you buy the two items together. If you decide later on that the stroller and car seat aren't right for your family, most brands have adaptors that let you to use the car seat with another stroller (provided it is able to meet the weight and height requirements).

One important thing to remember when shopping for a travel set is that these sets usually comprise an infant car seat and a stroller designed to work together, which is meant to be used for the first 12 months. If you plan on keeping the seat after this time you should choose a model that has a convertible car-seat that can be used by toddlers and is able to support a higher maximum weight.

Some travel systems come with an additional seat that can be used to support older children. This is a great option, but it may not be appropriate for your lifestyle.

Take a look at our top picks of car seats and strollers to find an budget-friendly travel system that can last for several years. Editor-tested favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combo have many features that will keep you and your child in a comfortable position. These strollers feature a springy all-wheel suspension that smooths the ride, and the PIPA car seat has a built-in drape canopy for protecting a snoozing child. They also have rigid LATCH connectors that can be used in vehicles that do not have a base, making it a great choice for families who frequently use ride-share services or have two cars.

Convenience

These combos are ideal for parents who often do errands, or transport their babies on public transportation like buses and trains. You can easily transfer your baby's sleeping body from the car to a stroller without worrying about waking them.

Some of the best stroller-car seat combinations can be converted into a double as you grow your family. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo which comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place, instantly transforming into a sleek chariot that can accommodate two. This is especially important if the car seat will be your baby's primary vehicle seat.

Other stroller-car-seat combos might have more complex conversion methods. You may need to manually connect the car seat to stroller or attach straps to the base to secure it. In our tests this method, it was harder 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.

A car seat/stroller combination is convenient but you must consider whether the strollers and infant car seats can be used together for as long as you require them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos use rear-facing infant car seats designed to be used until your child reaches the age of 1. These car seats cannot be attached to a stroller once they're no longer required in the car. Some all-in-one car seats and strollers like the Doona can be used as a car seat for toddlers with a seat belt booster after your child has outgrown the car seat for infants but is too tall to fit into the majority of strollers.

Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for infants and toddlers until the early years of childhood. When your child grows out of the infant car seat you can change the travel system to larger strollers that can accommodate older toddlers and older children. Keep in mind that you must ensure the infant car seat is set up properly and never remove it from your vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

Car seat and stroller combos make it easy to move infants from the vehicle to the stroller, and back without disturbing them or having to wake them up. Rothman says this is particularly useful when you're running errands and traveling. For extra safety, look for a car seat that is attached to the stroller using either an easy click or a rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat is secured while in use and won't come loose or fall off during transport. Car seat and stroller combinations that work without or with bases are also great options for ride-share vehicles.

When looking for a new travel system, be sure to check the weight and age limits of both the car seat as well as the stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats which are only intended for use during the first 12 months of the child's life. Many of these car seats change to a forward-facing seat that will stay in the car or snap into a compatible stroller. Stanton says it's crucial to follow all instructions and labels particularly when it's time to make sure that your child meets the weight and height requirements for both the car seat as well as the stroller.

While some parents prefer to buy separate items and build their own travel system, it's not uncommon for companies to offer pre-packaged car seat and stroller 2 in 1 car seat set-ups. They are usually priced lower than purchasing the items separately. For example, UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller with the Mesa infant car seat is a sought-after set. The stroller offers a smooth ride with suspension that is all-wheel and springy and a large basket to hold all the baby's toys. The car seat is low profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone for added security. It's a simple and simple installation, thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat has a four-position adjustable headrest, four harness settings and a padded insert to ensure the comfort of your child. It is easy to clean and folds in one hand.

Style

It's tempting to purchase a travel system that makes it easier to transfer your baby from the car to the stroller without waking them up, but that's not the primary reason to buy one. You should also consider one with a sleek design, which is easy to maneuver, and that has many other features for your child's safety and for your own.

The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base all in one package for a seamless transition from vehicle to street. They usually have a one-piece infant car seat that snaps into a compatible stroller and some include a bassinet attachment for strolls to nap (safety research suggests that babies sleep best when in a reclined position).

Strollers and infant car seats that are compatible with 2 in 1 stroller car seat-in-1 travel systems are light, durable, and easy to fold and move. Look for models with rubber tires with a swivel wheel on the front for city streets, and a big cargo basket that can accommodate many shopping bags. Also, you should consider how small the car seat and stroller fold to make it easier to store them.

Certain travel systems allow you to replace the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat when your child is no longer using it. This allows for an additional 2 to 3 Wheel Prams years of use. This is a great option when you plan to use the car seat for longer than a year, or if your partner frequently uses ride-share services or commutes via bus or train.
