These combos let parents easily move a child asleep from the car to the stroller and in reverse, without disturbing them up. This is a great option for families that spend the majority of their time in the car.

Comfort

If you're looking for a simple way to transfer your baby from car to stroller without awakening them an infant car seat, a travel system that includes an infant stroller seat and a stroller car seat could be what you need. These all-in-ones differ from stroller-only models since they typically include an infant car seat and a stroller. They can be used for both infants and older children. A lot of the car-and-stroller combos that make our list also include a bassinet that can be used as a safe alternative for a traditional stroller for naptime walks.

A two-in-one travel system that includes a car seat is more expensive than purchasing the two items separately, however you'll save money and time by purchasing them all at once. If you decide that the car seat and stroller aren't suitable for your family there are adaptors for most brands to allow you to use the car seat in conjunction with another stroller.

One important thing to remember when looking for a travel system is that they typically include an infant car seat and a stroller made to work together, which is meant to be used in the first 12 months. If you are planning to keep the car seat and using it past this point, consider an option that has an convertible car seat that can be used as a toddler car seat and has a greater weight limit.

Some travel systems come with a second seat which can be used to help older children. While this is a great option but it's not essential and may not be practical depending on your lifestyle.

If you're looking to purchase a travel system that will last for a few years, take a look at our top choices for car seats and strollers. Tested by our editors, favorites like the UPPAbaby PIPA stroller and car seat combo have many features that will keep your child and you comfortable. They have a springy all-wheel suspension that smooths the ride, and the PIPA car seat comes with a built-in drape canopy for protecting a snoozing child. These seats also come with rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on cars that don't have a base. This makes them an ideal choice for families who frequently ride-share or have two cars.

Convenience

These combos are perfect for parents who frequently run errands or take their children on public transport such as trains and buses. You can easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without worrying about wake them up.

Some of the best 2 in-1 prams stroller and car seat combinations also allow you to transform them into a double as your family grows. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 car seat stroller Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place to instantly transform into a sleek chariot two. This is especially crucial if the car seat will be your baby's sole vehicle seat.

Other stroller-car seat combinations may have more complicated conversion methods. You may have to manually attach the car seat to the stroller or use straps attached to the base to secure it. This method was more difficult to master in our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you forget or lose the straps, it may cause a safety risk.

A car seat/stroller combo is a great option, but you should also think about whether the strollers and infant car seats can work as long as you want them to. The majority of car seat/stroller combos feature rear-facing infant car seat designed to be used until your child is the age of one. These car seats do not connect to strollers once they're no longer required in the car. Some all-2 in 1 pushchair pram one car seat/stroller models, such as the Doona is able to be used as a toddler car seat with the seat belt booster when your child outgrows the car seat for infants but is too tall to fit in the majority of strollers.

Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for babies through early childhood. When your child is no longer in the infant car seats it is recommended to consider purchasing a stroller that is separate and replacing the travel system with a larger model that can accommodate older children and toddlers. Also, remember that you must always make sure that your infant car seat is installed properly and never remove it from your vehicle without taking off the straps first.

Safety

Car seats and strollers make it easy to move infants from the vehicle to the stroller and back again without disrupting them or having to awake them. This is particularly useful when you're doing errands or traveling, according to Rothman. For extra safety, look for a car seat that attaches to the stroller with either an easy click or a rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain secure while in use and won't fall off or become loose during the course of transport. Car seat and stroller combos that can work without or with a base are also good options for vehicles that ride-share.

When shopping for a travel system, be sure to check the age and weight limits of both the car seat and stroller. These systems include rear-facing infant car seats that are only designed for use during the first 12 months of the child's life. These car seats can be changed to a forward facing car seat which can either be used in the vehicle, or snapped into a stroller. Stanton says it's crucial to read all labels and instructions particularly when it comes time to make sure that your child is in compliance with the weight and height requirements of the car seat as well as the stroller.

While some parents prefer to buy separate items to create their own travel system, others prefer to buy pre-packaged stroller and car seats, it is not uncommon to find companies that offer these sets. These sets are usually cheaper than purchasing them individually. For example, UPPAbaby's popular Vista stroller that comes with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller offers a smooth ride, a springy suspension with all-wheels and a large storage basket that can hold everything you need for your baby. The car seat has a low profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone for extra security. It's a simple and simple installation thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat comes with an adjustable headrest with four positions, four harness heights and a padded insert to ensure your child's comfort. It's easy to clean and has a 1-hand fold, making it convenient to store.

Style

While it's tempting to buy a travel system to enjoy the convenience of transferring your baby from car to stroller and back without having to wake them up, it's not the only reason to consider one. You also want to choose a model that's stylish, easy to maneuver and comes with a variety of other features that make it comfortable for both your child and you.

The most effective travel systems comprise an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base, all in one box to allow a seamless transition from vehicle to street. They usually have a one-piece Infant and Toddler prams car seat that snaps into a compatible stroller and some offer an attachment for a bassinet for strolls to nap (safety research has shown that babies sleep best in an upright position).

Strollers and infant car seats made to work with two in one travel systems are light and durable, making them easy to push, maneuver, and fold. Choose models with rubber tires and a swivel front wheel for urban streets, and a spacious cargo basket that can fit multiple shopping bags. To make storage easier it is important to know how the strollers and car seats fold when folded.

Some travel systems allow you to change the infant car seat included with a toddler car seat once your child has outgrown it. This gives you an additional two years of use. This is a great option if you're planning on using the car seat for more than a year, or if your partner frequently uses ride-share services or commutes by bus or train.
