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

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

Doona's infant car seat and stroller combo is a great option. It's the only fully integrated travel system that allows you to switch from the car seat to the stroller without causing disruption to your baby.

Simple to use

Parents must have a car seat and stroller combination that is simple to use. These travel systems allow you to switch between running errands, walking the dog, or taking a run. They also aid in keeping up with your little one's changing needs, so you can focus on enjoying your family adventures. Our test subjects are awed by the ease and speed with which these travel systems glide regardless of whether they have one front wheel or a swiveling front wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are especially easy to move and even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pulled easily using just one hand.

Certain models are difficult to remove or attach from the base. The Doona Combo, for example, requires a two-step attachment process and straps that go over the infant carrier's bottom portion. It's tempting to skip these steps however it could result in dangerous outcomes.

Similarly some models are hard to fold and store away making them less convenient than others. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold due to its massive dimensions and bulky frames. Some users are also disappointed by the canopy on this model disappointing. However it is the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is very simple to fold with just a pull of an lever and the push of the button. This model is a great option for parents who wish to use their car seat in the other vehicles, since it can be easily detached from the base.

Easy to Fold

It doesn't matter if you're keeping the car seat on its own, in the trunk of your car or even in a closet, it should be simple to fold and unfold. The best combinations we've tested fold easily with one hand and are durable enough to withstand long walks. They're also easy to maneuver and glide effortlessly over uneven surfaces. We've seen some combinations that can only be attached or detached using straps, which may feel like an extra step and make it more difficult for parents to ensure that the car seat is secured properly.

The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a fantastic choice for its sturdy construction and practical features, including a large storage bin that can be accessed from the front or back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to ensure a secure car seat installation by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tight and clicking the carrier into the base.

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

Easy to Assemble

Some egg stroller 2 in 1 and car seat combos can be difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the most simple travel systems to assemble. It even comes with a helpful guide. Other models we tested such as the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule Urban Glide 2 and baby pushchair 2 in 1 Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal, were also fairly easy to assemble. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, on the other hand, is difficult to assemble. It requires two steps connecting the lower anchors and using straps to cover the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy so it takes two people to click the carrier into the base, and then detach it.

In our tests, it took us about 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 together. This is relatively quick when you consider how much time it can save by not having to remove all of 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.
