These combinations make it easy for parents to move a sleeping baby prams 2 in 1 from car to stroller and back without disturbing them. This is a great option for families who are constantly moving.

Comfort

Travel systems that include an infant car seat are a great way to make the transition from the car to stroller a breeze. These all-in-ones are different from stroller-only combinations because they usually come with an infant car seat in addition to the stroller. They are suitable for both newborns and older children. Many of the car-and-stroller combinations that we have listed include a bassinet, which can be used as an alternative to a stroller for naptime walks.

While a pushchair pram 2 in 1-in-1 travel system that includes a car seat might cost more than separate items, you'll likely save time and money by purchasing them all in one package. If you decide later that the car seat and stroller aren't quite right for your family, a majority of brands have adaptors that let you to use your selected car seat alongside a stroller (provided it is able to meet the weight and height requirements).

One thing to be aware of when looking for a travel system is that they typically comprise an infant car seat and a stroller that is designed to work in tandem, which is meant to be used in the first 12 months. If you are planning to keep the car seat and using it past this period, look for a model that has a convertible car seat that can also be used as a toddler's seat and has a greater weight limit.

Certain travel systems also come with a second seat that can be used as a booster seat for older children. This is a nice feature, but it might not be practical for your particular lifestyle.

If you're looking to purchase a travel system that will last a few years, check out our top picks for car seats as well as strollers. Our editors' top picks include the UPPAbaby PIPA car seat and Vista stroller combo, have plenty of features that will aid you and your baby to stay comfortable. These strollers feature springy all-wheel suspension to smooth out the ride. The PIPA car seat also features a built-in drape canopy that can protect a child who is snoozing. These products also feature rigid LATCH connectors that can be used on cars that don't have a base. This makes them a great option for families that frequently use ride-share or have two cars.

Convenience

Car seat/stroller combos are ideal for parents who regularly run out for errands or take their child out on public transport such as buses and trains. You can easily move your sleeping baby from the car to a stroller without worrying about wake them up.

A few of the top strollers and car seat combinations allow you to transform them into a double as your family grows. We love the Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, which features an infant car seat and stroller that click into place to instantly transform them into a sleek chariot for two. This is especially important if your car seat is your baby's sole vehicle seat.

Other stroller-car seat combos may have more complicated conversion procedures. You may have to manually attach the car seat to the stroller or strap it to base to ensure it is secured. This method was more difficult to master during our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. If you forget or lose the straps, it could cause a safety risk.

A car seat/stroller combination is a good idea, but you should also consider whether the infant car seats and strollers can work as long as you require them to. The majority of car seats and strollers utilize rear-facing infant car seats designed to be used until your child is the age of one. These car seats don't connect to strollers once they're no longer needed in the car. Some all-in-one car seats and strollers like the Doona can be used as a toddler car seat with an additional seat belt booster once your child outgrows the infant car seat buggy 2 in 1 seat but is too tall to fit into most traditional strollers.

Car seat/stroller combinations are best for newborns through early childhood. Once your child outgrows the car seats for infants it is recommended to consider purchasing a separate stroller and replacing the travel system with a bigger model that can accommodate older children and toddlers. Also, remember that you must ensure your infant car seat is installed correctly and never take it from your vehicle without removing the straps first.

Safety

The combination of a car seat and stroller allows for easy transfer of infants from a car to a stroller, and vice versa, without disrupting or waking them. This is especially helpful when you're running errands or travelling, says Rothman. To ensure your safety, choose a car seat that is attached to a stroller via a rigid LATCH system or a click-on system. This will ensure that the car seat will be secured during use and will not slide off or loosen during transportation. Combinations of car seat and stroller that can be used with or without the base are also an excellent option for vehicles with ride-sharing.

When purchasing a travel system be sure to verify the weight and age limits for the stroller as well as the car seat. Most infant car seats that are included in these systems are rear-facing and only designed for use during the first 12 months of your child's life. These car seats can be transformed to a forward-facing car seat that can be used in the car, or snapped into a stroller. Stanton insists that you be aware of all labels and directions, especially when it comes time to ensure your child is in compliance with the weight and height requirements of both the car seat and the stroller.

Some parents prefer to buy separate items to build their own travel system and others prefer buying pre-packaged car seats and stroller combinations, it is not uncommon for companies to offer these sets. These sets are usually cheaper than purchasing them individually. For instance, UPPAbaby's Vista stroller that comes with the Mesa infant car seat is a sought-after set. The stroller offers a smooth ride with springy all-wheel suspension and a large storage basket to store all your baby pram 2 in 1's equipment. The car seat is slim and comes with a SafeCell crumple area for added security. The SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to set up. The car seat has a four-position headrest with four harness heights, as well as an insert that is cushioned for your little one's comfort. It is easy to clean and features a one-hand fold, which makes it easy to store.

Style

Although it's tempting to purchase a travel system for the convenience of moving your baby prams 2 in 1 from car to stroller and back without having to wake them up, it's not the only reason to consider one. You should also look for a model with a stylish design, which is easy to maneuver and has many other features for your child's comfort as well as yours.

The best travel systems best include an infant car stroller, car seat and stroller base all in one box to allow you to transfer from your vehicle to the street. They usually include an all-in-one car seat that is easily snapped into a stroller compatible with it. Some even come with an infant bassinet to sleep in (safety studies have proven that babies sleep better in a reclining position).

Strollers and infant car seats that are compatible with 2-in-1 travel systems are light and durable. They are also easy to fold and maneuver. Choose models with rubber tires with a swivel wheel on the front for city streets, and a large cargo basket that can fit several shopping bags. You should also consider how small the stroller and car seat fold for ease of storage.

Some travel systems let you replace the included infant car seat with a toddler seat when your child outgrows it, giving you an additional two years of use. This is a great option if you're planning on using the car seat for more than one year, or if your partner regularly uses ride-sharing services or commutes by bus or train.
