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

Car seat buggy 2 in 1 blends the two most important pieces of baby gear including the infant car seat and stroller. It makes getting off and on public transport (and climbing and descending steps) so much easier.

Doona's infant car seat and stroller combo is a fantastic choice. It's the first integrated travel system that allows you to switch between your car seat and stroller rocker 2 in 1 in seconds without disturbing your sleepy baby.

Easy to Use

Parents should have a stroller and car seat combination that is simple to use. These systems allow you to switch between running errands or walking the dog, or taking an exercise. You can also adapt to the changing needs of your child, so you can enjoy your family adventures. These travel systems move smoothly and easily, regardless of whether they have a front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 stroller and car seat Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are especially maneuverable, but even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pushed easily using just one hand.

Some models can be difficult to remove or attach 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 is tempting to skip these steps, but this could result in dangerous outcomes.

Additionally, some models are difficult to fold and store away, which makes them less practical than other. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is hard to fold due to its large dimensions and bulky frame. Some reviewers are also disappointed by the canopy on this model disappointing. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is simple to fold down with one button and pulling the lever. This model is an excellent choice for parents who want to use their car seat in the other cars, as it can be easily removed from the base.

Easy to Fold

It should be easy to unfold and fold the car seat, regardless of whether you are storing it in your trunk, or in a closet. The best combinations we've tested feature simple, one-handed fold that's compact and sturdy enough to use for long walks. They're also easy to move and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. Certain combos are only linked and disengaged by straps. This may seem like a step in the back and could make it harder for parents to secure their child's car seat properly.

We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo for its handy features and sturdy construction, that include a huge storage basket that can be accessed from the front to back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to achieve a secure car seat installation simply by connecting the lower anchors by pulling the straps tightly and then pressing the carrier into the base.

It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great option for families or frequent travelers with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 pram Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored very well in our tests of ease-of-use. Both feature one front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed! ) and an swivel front wheel that can be swiveled that's perfect for shopping and running around. The only drawback is that they're quite heavy, so it can be difficult to lift them up when carrying a child in a car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Some car seat and stroller combos can be tricky to assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the easiest travel systems to assemble. It even comes with a handy guide. 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 easy to put together. However, the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps - connecting the lower anchors and using straps to cover the bottom portion of the carrier. It's also heavy, so it requires two hands to click the carrier into the base and detach it from the base.

In our tests we took about 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby v2 together, which is a bit rapid when you consider the time it saves by not having to take out the pieces. The toddler seat can be slid into and removed easily on the majority of these models.
