Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The most reliable car seat stroller combos are so easy to attach that it's like they're doing it all by themselves. "Look for an appropriate base and a carrier that snap together easily," advises Stanton. This reduces the possibility of errors during installation and removal.

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

Parents who don't want to change between car seats and strollers often find a mix of both appealing. It's also an ideal choice for those who frequently use rideshares or public transportation, as well as those who switch between caregivers. Stanton says that because they're one item and the wheels are attached the car seats are more mobile. However, she says, it's important to ensure that your car seat is secured properly when using it with the travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and the owner's manual for your vehicle to ensure an appropriate fit she adds.

In our tests, we discovered that the most effective stroller and car seat combos have a simple click-in connector that requires no effort beyond shifting the carrier from one place to the next. These models scored better compared to models with more complicated connections due to their lower pressure and have fewer opportunities for mistakes, whether intentional or accidental. We like, for example, that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment, which does not require straps, and also has an indicator on the base of the car seat which indicates that the seat is level properly.

The Doona All in-One Infant Car Seat Stroller is also easy to set up and move from vehicle into stroller.

Stroller-car-seat combos are much easier to move around than separate items, and many models have convenient features that set them apart from other strollers. However, it's important to note that the car seat and stroller have to be compatible in order to work. The car seat manufacturer should give guidelines on which strollers are compatible with their product. A quick search online will help narrow your options.

Some strollers and carseats come with a direct attachment that snaps into position without the need for straps or a complicated installation.

Other car seat and stroller combos, like the Nuna TRVL, permit parents to remove the infant carrier from the stroller's base and easily fold it into a compact size that fits inside the trunk of a vehicle. This is another great feature for busy families, and the stroller itself has a sleek profile with high-end fabrics and smart touches such as a built-in drape canopy to shield a sleeping baby.

If this is the case, be sure you've read the specifications to ensure that your car seat and stroller will work together. Also, consider buying an adapter to accommodate your desired combination.

Easy to Fold

Car seat and stroller combos are an excellent option for parents who need only one piece of baby gear which can perform multiple functions. They can easily convert from a car seat to the stroller and reverse the process. They are also more easy to move around than two piece travel systems. Stanton states that they're designed to be more portable. "They have less moving parts which makes them more compact to fold, use, and transport."

These strollers and car seats for infants are lighter than the two-piece options, and they can be easily carried in trunks that are small. They also have more space for cargo and more practical features like cup holders and sun shades. Some come with a swivel front wheel which is great for navigating busy sidewalks and shopping centers.

Some brands, such as Doona provide a stroller and infant car seats that can be used in conjunction. These are especially useful for parents who take public transportation or rideshares, or who have to change caregivers frequently. This model is essentially an rear-facing car seat with wheels. The wheels can be lowered to become an infant stroller when you decide to use it.

Other brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to click on the car seat and then unfold it into the form of a stroller. This model isn't as sleek as Doona however, you can remove the car seat without needing to click into the base.
