A 2 in 1 Travel System
A stroller and car seat combination is the best choice, whether you want to travel comfortably or design a more modern version of the pram. Verify the specifications to make sure that your stroller and car seat are compatible, or you can consider buying an adapter.
Editor-tested travel systems let you transfer your newborn baby in a seamless manner from the car to the stroller, without having to disturb them. Some come with a carrycot to allow for peaceful sleep.
Car Seat
A 2-in-1 travel set that includes the stroller as well as an infant car seat that snap together. This is a great choice for parents who often make errands, or take their baby on rides or public transport. "You have less equipment to worry about," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's ideal for families that switch between carpooling and public transit with other moms."
Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a top choice, with 90 percent of Amazon reviews giving it five stars. It's a rear-facing car seat that drops down to a stroller that can be turned into a rolling one. The change is quick and easy. The wheels fold under, and it's compact when not in use. The Doona can also be attached to a car's backseat using the LATCH base, which is rigid, or to taxi-safe belt paths making it ideal for commuters and families in cities.
The Mamas and Papas pramette is another great car seat/stroller combination. It features a pram with a hood that opens and an front seat that can be lowered so that your child can lay down for nap time or for feedings. It comes with a large basket, cup holders and a sun shade for your baby's necessities. The stroller seat is an adjustable reclining seat that can recline to a flat position making sure your baby is comfortable on every ride.
Other important car seat features to be considered are the weight and height limits and whether the infant seat can be used with only a backseat car belt or comes with an additional layer of protection that includes an integrated LATCH system. Look for a handle lock to keep the handle in the right place. You can also tilt the handle towards the rear seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.
Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats, which can be turned forward-facing later, cannot be converted into strollers. Because of this, many moms choose to purchase a separate car seat and stroller when their baby grows out of the infant seat.
Stroller
A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for any new parent. 2 in 1 pushchair have the baby pram that converts into a comfortable infant carrycot so your child can rest comfortably in the car and is perfect for parents with newborns or who don't want to disturb them when travelling. Some brands also offer a stroller and car seat combo that can be connected. This allows you to keep your child in the car seat and then transfer them to a stroller without disrupting them.
A great stroller should include many features that make it simple to use and practical. It should have a large basket to store important items like nappies as well as toys and snacks. It should also be able recline so that your baby can sleep comfortably. It should also include a good canopy to protect your baby from the sun, and a lockable front wheel for extra security. Additionally it should be light and compact enough for storage or transporting to and from the car.
Editor-tested travel system strollers such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all offer convenience by connecting to a variety top car seats that can be attached to the frame and fold down effortlessly. Some models have one wheel on each leg to make them easier to maneuver and roll across different surfaces.
A stroller should be versatile enough to last throughout toddlerhood and beyond if you need it to carry your child to and from school, activities and play dates. For this reason, consider a model that has an opening that allows your child to face the world (and reclines) after your child has outgrown the car seat.
If you plan on using your 2-in-1 travel system on public transport choose models that have an ISOFIX base, which makes it safe to hop on and off trains or buses. Certain models, such as the Doona can be fitted on planes and trains to make traveling with your baby a lot easier.
