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

Car seat buggy 2 in 1 blends two of the most important pieces of baby gear: the infant car seat and stroller. It makes it easier to get on and off public transport (and walk up and down stairs).

One of the best 2 in-1 prams options for this is the Doona infant car seat and stroller combination. It's the first integrated travel system that lets you to switch between the car seat and stroller in seconds without disturbing your sleepy baby.

Simple to use

Car seat and stroller combos that are easy to use are a must for parents. These travel systems make it simple to switch between running errands, walking the dog, or going for an exercise. You can also adapt to the changing needs of your child, so you can take your family on adventures. These travel systems glide smoothly and easily, whether they have one front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are incredibly easy to maneuver, but even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 pram system Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pushed easily using just one hand.

Some models are difficult to attach or remove from the base. The Doona Combo requires a two step process for attachment, as well as straps that cover the bottom portion of the infant carrier. It may be tempting to bypass these steps, but this could lead to unsafe results.

Certain models are also more difficult to fold or store than others, which makes them less convenient. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold due its large dimensions and heavy frames. This model also has a tiny canopy that some test users find to be disappointing. On the other hand, the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is easy to fold using a pull of a lever and a snap of a button. This model is a fantastic option for parents who wish to use their car seat in other cars, since it is able to be removed from the base.

Easy to Fold

If you're storing your car seat on its own, in the trunk of your vehicle or even in a closet, it should be simple to fold and unfold. The best combos we've tested have a simple one-handed fold that is compact and durable enough to be used for long walks. They're also easy to maneuver and glide effortlessly over uneven surfaces. We've seen a few combinations that can only be attached or detached using straps, which could be a hassle and make it difficult for parents to secure the car seat properly.

We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo due to its practical features and Stroller 2In1 sturdy construction, which includes a large storage basket that's accessible from the front to back. SafeCenter LATCH, a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo allows you to install a car seat by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tightly.

It's also light, making it an excellent option for families and frequent travelers with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 car seat and pram Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored well in our tests of ease-of-use. Both have one front wheel that's simple to push (one-handed! Both have one front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a versatile spinner wheel, ideal for running errands and shopping. The only drawback is that they're heavy and it can be difficult to lift them up when you're carrying a child in a car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Some stroller and car seat combos can be tricky to assemble. We discovered that the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo was one of the easiest to build, and it even includes a handy quick-start guide that makes putting this system together an easy task. Other models we looked at like the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista V2 Thule Urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also relatively simple to put together. Contrary to that the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to put together because it requires two steps to assemble - attaching the lower anchors and using straps that go over the bottom portion of the carrier. It's heavy so it takes two people to secure the carrier into the base, and then remove it.

In our tests it took us around 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby v2 together, which is quite quick when you consider how much time it saves by not having to take out all of the individual pieces. The toddler seat can be slid into and removed with ease on most of these models.
