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

Car seat buggy 2 in 1 blends the two most essential baby equipment pieces including the infant car seat and stroller. It makes it so much easier to take public transport (and walk up and down stairs).

One of the best options is the Doona infant car seat & stroller combination. It's the first integrated travel system that allows you to switch between your car seat and egg stroller 2 in 1 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 let you easily change between running errands, or walking the dog before going for an outing. They also assist you in keeping up with your child's changing needs, so you can enjoy your family adventures. These travel systems move smoothly and easily, regardless of whether they feature one front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 travel system pram Combo and the BOB Alterrain pro combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are all easy to move. However, even the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo can be moved by one hand.

Certain models are difficult to remove or attach from the base. The Doona Combo requires a two step process of attachment, and straps which cover the bottom of the infant carrier. It's tempting to skip these steps, but it could result in dangerous results.

Some models are more difficult to fold and store than others, making them less convenient. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is difficult to fold due to its large dimensions and heavy frame. Some testers also find the canopy on this model to be disappointing. On the other hand, the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is very simple to fold with just a pull of a lever and a snap of an button. This model is a great choice for parents who want to use their car seat in other people's cars, as it can be easily removed from the base.

Easy to Fold

It should be simple to unfold and fold the car seat, regardless of whether you are storing it in your trunk or a closet. The best combinations we've tested fold easily with one hand and are durable enough to withstand long walks. They're also easy to move and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. We've seen a few combinations that can only be joined or detached using straps, which may feel like an extra step and make it harder for parents to secure the car seat properly.

We love the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo for its handy features and sturdy construction which include a large storage basket that can be accessed from the front to back. SafeCenter LATCH, a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo makes it simple to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tightly.

It's also fairly light which makes it a great choice for families or frequent travellers with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored very well in our ease-of-use tests. Both come with one front wheel that's simple to push (one-handed! Both have a single front wheel which is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a flexible swing wheel, which is ideal for running errands and shopping. The only drawback is that they're heavy, so it's difficult to lift them up when carrying a child in a car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Some stroller and car seat combinations can be difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the most simple travel systems to assemble. It even includes a helpful guide. Other models we looked at such as the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 stroller and car seat, and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal, were also fairly easy to assemble. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo however is a bit difficult to put together. It requires two steps: attaching the lower anchors as well as using straps that protect the bottom 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 about 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby v2 Cruz. It's a fairly easy process when you consider the time saved by not having to take out all the individual pieces. Most of these models have an easy method of attaching and detaching the toddler's seat, but there are other options as well.
