Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 stroller car seat in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use

The Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 combines two of the most crucial baby items: the infant car seats and strollers. It makes hopping on and off public transport (and climbing and descending stairs) much more convenient.

One of the best options is the Doona infant car seat and stroller combo. It's the first integrated travel system that allows you to change from the car seat to the stroller without disturbing your baby.

Simple to Use

Car seat and stroller combos that are simple to use are a must for parents. These systems let you easily switch between running errands walking your dog and going for a run. They also help you keep up with your little one's changing needs, so that you can focus on enjoying your family's adventures. Our testers love how easily and smoothly these travel systems move, regardless of whether they have only one front wheel or a rotating front wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pushchair and car seat Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are incredibly easy to maneuver and even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 buggy Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pushed easily using just one hand.

Certain models are difficult to attach or remove from the base, though. The Doona Combo, for example requires a two-step attachment process and straps that go over the infant carrier's bottom part. It is tempting to skip these steps, however this could result in dangerous outcomes.

Some models are more difficult to fold and store than others, which makes them less practical. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for example, is difficult to fold due to its massive dimensions and bulky frame. Some testers have also found the canopy on this model disappointing. However the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is easy to fold using pulling an lever and the push of a button. It is also a great option for parents who intend on using their car seat on other people's vehicles as it is able to be easily removed from the base and attached to any stroller that is standard.

Easy to Fold

It doesn't matter if you're keeping the car seat on its own, in the trunk of your car or even in a closet, it must be easy to fold and unfold. The best 2 in-1 prams combinations we've tested have simple fold that's one-handed and strong enough to be used on long strolls. They are also easy to maneuver and glide effortlessly over uneven surfaces. We've seen some combinations that can only be joined or detached using straps, which could be a hassle and make it harder for parents to secure the car seat correctly.

We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo due to its practical features and sturdy construction which include a large storage basket that's accessible from the front to the back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to ensure a secure car seat installation by simply connecting the lower anchors by pulling the straps tightly and then putting the carrier in the base.

It's also fairly light, making it a great choice for frequent travelers or families with multiple vehicles. Both the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo, and the Thule Urban Glide 2 scored highly in our ease of use tests. Both have one wheel that's easy to push with one hand. ) and a versatile swivel front wheel which is ideal for shopping or running around. The only downside is that they're very heavy and therefore it can be tricky to lift them up when carrying children in the car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Some car seat and stroller combinations are difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the easiest travel systems to put together. It comes with a handy guide. Other models we looked at like the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pram sale and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also easy to put together. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo however, is difficult to assemble. It requires two steps: attaching the lower anchors as well as using straps that protect the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy so it takes two people to snap the carrier in the base, and then detach it.

In our tests, we took about 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby v2 Cruz. This is a quick procedure when you take into account the time saved from not having to rip out all the pieces. The toddler seat can be slid into and detached easily on most of these models.
