Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The best car seat stroller combos are so simple to attach that it's like they're doing it all by themselves. "Look for an appropriate base and a carrier that can be easily clicked together," advises Stanton. This reduces the possibility of mistakes during installation and removal.

Doona is one of the options that allows you to accomplish this. It seamlessly transforms from a car seat to a stroller, and it lets you free up space in your trunk. Reviewers on the internet say it feels sturdy however they also appreciate its simplicity of use and performance.

Easy to Assemble

Parents who do not want to switch between strollers and car seats often find a mix of both appealing. It's also an ideal choice for those who regularly take public transportation or rideshares as well as those who switch between caregivers. "These are a single item and the wheels are connected to the car seat, so they're more naturally mobile," says Stanton. Stanton stresses the need to secure the car seat correctly when using the travel system.

Additionally, there's an indicator on the base of the car seat that indicates when it's leveled correctly.

The Doona All-in One Infant Car Seat Stroller, too, is easy to set up and move from car to stroller.
