2 in 1 Car Seat Stroller Combos

We like combinations that make it seem like the car seat is a natural part of the stroller. Strollers and car seats that don't require any pressure to attach and detach create fewer opportunities for blunders (both accidental and intentional).

The most effective car seat/stroller combinations are easy quick and easy to use. They also have an audible click when attached.

Easy to Assemble

Combinations of car seats and stroller are perfect for parents who are always moving. The stroller can be put together in a single step, and the infant car seat can be snapped in without needing to connect straps. They also make it easier to switch from a vehicle to a stroller and back again this is beneficial if you are doing errands, or taking an easy stroll through the park with your child.

In our car seat and stroller combo tests, we evaluate how quick and easy a combination is to assemble and how the infant car seat and stroller connect and how it is easy to get around the city with both seats connected. The elements of a car seat and stroller combo must be strong and lightweight. You should also select the combination that will expand with your family. For instance, if plan to have twins in the future, you'll want a convertible stroller that can accommodate two car seats and transform into triple strollers.

We are awestruck by the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 Combo for its easy assembly, easy to use and its durable, reliable quality. We also like the fact that it is fully-equipped with the UPPAbaby Minu infant car seat pushchair 2 in 1 seat and the UPPAbaby 2nd Seat Kit 2.0. This kit includes a Seat and Upper and Lower Adapters to raise the seat to create space for a second. It also includes the Riding Board accessory.

The Doona Car Seat and Stroller Combo also stands out. Its seamless conversion from car to stroller only takes seconds, and it lets you use the trunk to store more groceries or shopping bags. This innovative product from Doona also makes it easy to install in your car by attaching it to its LATCH base.

Other easy-to-assemble combos include the Thule Urban Glide buggy 2 in 1 and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo. They all have rubber tires with a single wheel that allows for easy pushing, and the versatility of a swivel rear wheel for jogging or running around. We also love the iCandy Peony Combo because it has a simple-to-use fold that is one-handed and a large storage bin that can hold everything you need to travel with.

Easy to Fold

The most effective 2 in 1 car seat strollers fold down and out of the way without a lot of effort. They also have a storage tray and cup holders, which are helpful for parents who travel. A majority of models come with an adult console with two cup holders, a covered compartment to store keys and other things and two cup holders. These strollers also have adjustable handlebars, so you can adjust the height to suit your needs. It is more comfortable to move and push. Some of the top performers from our car seat/stroller combo reviews scored highly on the ease of use.

You want to make sure the car seat and the base of the stroller you buy are compatible, as you won't be able to remove the infant car seat from the stroller when it's not connected to its base in your vehicle. Some of the most rated travel systems come with an attachment that is installed with LATCH which is the safest option for babies. Others have a click-in only attachment, which is less complicated than the ones that require straps.

Some car seat and stroller combinations, such as the Doona Combo have a one step design that allows you to fold everything up into a compact and lightweight bundle. This is especially useful for parents who frequently use rideshares, public transportation, or switch between caregivers.

Another convenient travel system is the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, which is similar to the Doona in that the car seat unfolds from the stroller's base. The car seat is not able to be removed from the stroller if it is not in your vehicle. This is a concern if you need to change caregivers or go on errands with your child in the back seat.

Some car seat and stroller combinations, such as the Thule Urban glide best 2 In 1 car Seat stroller Combo, and Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and BOB Alterrain pro, have car seat adapters that click into place and don't require straps. This makes it easier to use. They're still a little bulkier than the Doona, but they have excellent scores for maneuverability and can be used with all infant car seats.

Easy to carry

Car seat stroller combos work great for parents who want to avoid the hassle of moving their infant car seat from vehicle to stroller. They are typically easier to use than the travel system that has an additional toddler's seat and are usually smaller and lighter. They can even come with features that make them easy to use, such as an adult cup holder or a large storage basket.

The Doona Combo is a popular (it has a 90 percent five-star rating on Amazon) one-and-done solution that doesn't require an additional stroller base. It's a rear-facing infant car seat with a latch base that drops down to form a stand-alone stroller. We love the fact that you can attach and detach the infant carrier using just one hand, and it's simple to fold it with a child in the seat. We also like the fact that it's super light-weight, weighing around 7.5 pounds. However, the absence of storage and convenience features resulted in a lower score over other frame strollers, like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Combo, UPPAbaby Cruz V2 Combo, and Chicco Keyfit Caddy Combo.

If you're shopping for a two-in-1 option that can hold multiple car seats, search for a model with integrated adapters that snap into place. The Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo, for instance, works with two different types of infant car seats, and requires no straps. Other two-in-1 carriers we've tested such as the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Ex have a similar setup however they require straps for attachment.

When you are choosing a stroller or car seat combination, think about how you will make use of it. Do you want a light option for walking around the neighborhood or jogs or do you want something more robust? A jogger that has a suspension system with a bigger canopy that can withstand all kinds of weather conditions and terrains. The UPPAbaby Cruz V2 Combo, for example is very maneuverable score and an enormous basket that can fit up to two seats.

The Chicco Keyfit Caddy frame stroller is a budget-friendly option that can be used with Chicco Keyfit infant seat carriers. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles but it's easy to use and fold, and can hold a child up to 30 pounds.

Easy to Store

Combinations of car seat and stroller can save lots of space. Because the infant car seat can be folded into and out of the stroller, it requires less storage than a standalone car seat. However, not all combos have the ability to fold free-standing and some require you to prop the stroller that is folded up against something or against the wall. You need to choose one that is easy to store, and car seats that are also easy to store.

A two-in-one travel system is typically more expensive than a separate car seat and stroller but you will save money by purchasing fewer products. The cost of the product will vary based on the manufacturer and the features included. Some come with additional features like child snack trays and parent cup holders and others are basic and doesn't come with any accessories other than the base and infant car seat.

The most affordable option for a car seat and stroller combination is one that comes with all the features you require to take your family on regular outings. If you plan to go on lots of beautiful walks, go for a stroller that has a large canopy. If you're required to carry a lot of equipment with you, consider a stroller with a spacious storage basket. And if you plan to use the car seat frequently with your older children, think about upgrading to a double stroller.

Doona's infant car seats and stroller combination is the ideal choice for ultimate ease of use. This innovative product skips the whole attachment process and lets you transform the car seat into a stroller within a matter of minutes regardless of where you are. This makes it a top choice for parents who live in busy cities and frequently ride-share or use public transportation.
