A 2 in 1 pram and pushchair-in-1 travel system that includes car seats gives parents the convenience of a car seat for their infant and a stroller that can work in tandem. However they can be expensive.

These combinations make it easy for parents to transport a sleeping baby from the car to the stroller and back without disturbing them. This is a great choice for families who spend much of their time on the go.

Comfort

Travel systems that include a stroller and an infant car seat are a great option to make the transition from car to stroller easy. These all-in-ones are different from stroller-only combos because they usually come with an infant car seat and a stroller. They can be used for both infants and older children. Many of the car seat-and-stroller combos on our list have a bassinet attachment as well, which can be an excellent alternative to a stroller for naps.

While a two-in-one travel system with a car seat could cost more than separate items but you'll probably save time and money by purchasing them all in one package. If you decide later that the car seat and stroller aren't the right fit for your family, a majority of manufacturers offer adapters that allow you to use the car seat alongside a stroller (provided it is tall and weighs the same requirements).

One thing to be aware of when you are shopping for a travel set is that they typically comprise an infant car seat and a stroller that is designed to work together, and is meant to be used in the first 12 months. If you intend to keep the car seat after this period, choose a model that includes a convertible car seat that can be used for toddlers and is able to support a higher maximum weight.

Certain travel systems also come with a second seat that can be used as a booster seat for older kids. While this is a great option but it's not essential and may not be practical based on your life style.

These products have springy all-wheel suspension that smooths the ride and the PIPA car seat comes with an inbuilt drape canopy that is perfect for protecting a snoozing child. These seats also come with LATCH connectors that are rigid and can be used on cars that don't have a base. This makes them an ideal choice for families that frequently use ride-share or have two cars.

Convenience

Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for parents who often run errands or take their baby out on public transportation such as buses and trains. They allow you to easily move your sleeping newborn from the car to the stroller without disturbing or waking them.

Some of the best strollers and car seat combinations also allow you to convert them into a double when your family expands. We like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo that comes with an infant car seat and stroller that snap into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot for two. This is particularly crucial if the car seat is the sole vehicle seat for your baby.

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

While a combination of a car seat and stroller is convenient, you should also consider whether the stroller and Four-wheel prams infant car seat will work together for as long as you require 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 1. These car seats are not connected to a stroller after they are no longer required in the car. Some all-in one car seat/stroller product, such as Doona can be used as car seats for toddlers with the seatbelt booster when your child is no longer in the infant car seat however, it is too large to fit into traditional strollers.

Car seat/stroller combinations work best 2 in 1 stroller for babies through the early years of childhood. Once your child outgrows the infant car seats and you are looking at purchasing a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a more spacious model that can be used by toddlers and older children. Also, remember that you must always make sure the infant car seat is set up correctly and never remove it from your vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

The combination of the car seat and stroller makes it easy to transfer infants from a vehicle to a stroller and in reverse without disrupting or waking them. Rothman states that this is especially useful when you are doing errands or traveling. To ensure security, opt for a car seat that is attached to a stroller with an incredibly strong LATCH system or click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat is secured when it's in use and that it will not come loose or fall off in transit. Combinations of car seat and strollers that can be used with or without the base are an excellent option for ride-share vehicles.

When shopping for a travel system, check the weight and age restrictions of both the car seat and stroller. Most infant car seats in these systems are rear-facing and are only intended for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. Many of these car seats then transition to a forward-facing car seat that will stay in the vehicle or can be converted into a stroller compatible with it. Stanton says it's crucial to read all labels and instructions particularly when it comes time to make sure that your child's weight and height requirements for both the car seat and the stroller.

While some parents prefer to buy separate products and design their own travel system, it's not unusual for companies to offer pre-packaged car seat and stroller set-ups. These sets are generally less expensive than purchasing them individually. For instance, UPPAbaby's bestselling Vista stroller that comes with the Mesa infant car seat is an extremely sought-after set. The stroller has smooth riding with springy suspension on all wheels and a large basket to store all your baby's gear. The car seat is low profile and has a SafeCell crumple zone to provide additional security. It has a quick and easy install, thanks to the exclusive SafeCenter LATCH. The car seat features a headrest that can be adjusted in four positions, four harness heights and padding for your little one's comfort. It is easy to clean and folds in one hand.

Style

While it's tempting to purchase a travel system for the ease of moving your child from car to stroller and back again without waking them up, that's not the only reason to consider one. You should also choose a model that's stylish, maneuvers well and comes with a variety of other features to make it comfortable for both your child and yourself.

The best travel systems include an infant car seat, stroller, and car seat base all in one box for a seamless transition from vehicle to street. They usually come with a single-piece infant car seat that snaps into a stroller that is compatible and some offer the option of a bassinet attachment to allow strolls to nap (safety research has shown that babies sleep best when in a reclined position).

Strollers and infant car seats made to work with two in one travel systems are lightweight and sturdy, making them easy to move, push and fold. Look for models with rubber tires with a swivel wheel on the front for city streets, and a spacious cargo basket that can accommodate multiple shopping bags. For easy storage it is important to know how small car seats and strollers fold when folded.

Some travel systems let you replace the infant car seat with a toddler's seat when your child outgrows it, which gives you an additional two years of use. This is a great option for those who intend to use the seat for more than a year or if their partner is a commuter on a bus, train or ride-share.
