A 2 in 1 Travel System

If you're looking to get around with ease or you want to create a modern take on a pram, an automobile seat and stroller combination is the best choice. Make sure to check the specifications to make sure that your stroller and car seat are compatible, or you can consider buying an adaptor.

Travel systems that have been evaluated by editors allow you to transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing them. Some travel systems include an infant carrycot to help encourage the natural sleeping.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram-in-1 travel set includes a stroller and a baby car seat that snap together. This is a great choice for parents who frequently do errands or take their child on rideshares or public transport. "You have less equipment to deal with," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families who alternate between carpooling with other moms and using public transit."

A top Convertible Prams pick is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which receives an astounding 90% of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing car seats that drops down into a stroller that rolls. The transition is quick and easy. When not in use, the wheels can be folded under and it's small. The Doona can also be attached to a car's backseat using the LATCH base that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt paths, making it ideal for city families and commuters.

The Mamas & Papas Pramette is yet another great car seat/stroller combination, featuring a pram with a hood and front seats that open to let you lay your child down for naps or feedings. It comes with a large basket and cup holders for all of your baby's necessities as well as a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat features a multi-position reclining seat, and can recline to a flat, so baby is comfy for every ride.

Other important car seat features to be considered are the weight and height limits as well as whether the infant seat can be used with just the backseat belt or comes with an additional layer of protection with an integrated LATCH system. Look for a handle lock to keep the handle in place. You can also tilt the handle toward the rear seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

It is important to note that travel systems only work with infant car seats. Extended-use car seats that are able to later be turned forward-facing snap into strollers. This is why many moms choose to purchase an additional stroller and car seat once their baby grows out of the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a must-have piece of equipment for new parents. Some travel systems have the baby pram that converts into a cosy infant carrycot so your child can rest comfortably in the car, making them ideal for parents of newborns and those who do not want to disturb their children while traveling. Depending on the model it may also come with a car seat and stroller combination that can be connected to one another. This lets you keep your child in the car seat while transferring them to the stroller without disrupting them.

A great stroller should include numerous features that make it easy to use and practical. It should have a large basket to store important items like nappies, toys, and snacks. It can also recline so that your baby can sleep comfortably. It should also include an adequate canopy to shield your baby from sun, and a lockable front wheel for extra security. Additionally it should be light and compact enough to store it 2 in 1 pram set storage or for transporting to and from the car.

Travel system strollers that have been tested by editors, like the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo and Chicco Keyfit Caddy, offer convenience because they connect with a variety of top car seat and pram 2 in 1 seats. These car seats snap onto the frame to be connected and fold up quickly. Some models also have a single wheel at each leg, making them easier to manoeuvre and roll over different surfaces.

The best strollers are able to carry your child through the toddler years and beyond, so that you can continue to use it to take them to and from events, school and play dates. When your child has outgrown their car seat, consider a stroller that has a seat facing the world and reclines.

If you intend to use your 2 in 1 highchair-in-1 travel system in public transportation, you should choose a model that has an ISOFIX base. This will ensure that it is safe to get on and off trains or buses. Some models, like the Doona, can even be fitted on trains and airplanes to make travelling with a baby more convenient.
