10 2 In 1 Travel System-Related Meetups You Should Attend A 2 in 1 Travel System

A stroller and car seat combination is the ideal choice, whether you want to travel comfortably or create a modern version of the traditional pram. Read the specs carefully to ensure your chosen car seat and pushchair work together, or you could consider purchasing an adaptor.

Editor-tested travel systems let you move your sleeping newborn seamlessly from the car to the stroller without disturbing them. Some include a carrycot that allows for a natural sleep.

Car Seat

A 2-in-1 travel set includes a stroller and an infant car seat that snaps together. It's a convenience for parents and caregivers who regularly run errands with their baby or take their young baby out on rideshares or public transportation. "You'll have less gear to handle," explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families that alternate between carpooling with other moms or taking public transportation."

Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a popular option, with 90 percent of Amazon reviews giving five stars. It's a rear-facing car seats that converts into a stroller that rolls. The transition only takes seconds. The wheels fold under and the Doona is compact when not in use. The Doona can also be attached to a car's backseat using the sturdy LATCH base or to taxi-safety belts. This makes it perfect for urban families.

The Mamas & Papas Pramette is a top car seat/stroller combination, featuring a pram that has the hood as well as a front seats that open to allow you to lie your child down to sleep or for feedings. It comes with a large basket, cup holders and an umbrella shade for your baby's essentials. The stroller seat is an adjustable reclining seat that can recline to a flat, so your baby is comfortable for every ride.

Other important car seat features to be considered are the weight and height limits and whether the infant car seat can be used with only a car belt for backseats or comes with an additional layer of protection that includes a built-in rigid LATCH system. Also, look for a lock on the handle to keep it secure in place, as well as the possibility of tilting the handle toward the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats, which can be turned forward later, are not able to snap into strollers. Many moms opt to purchase a separate stroller and car seat when their child has outgrown an infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is an essential piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems include the baby pram that can be transformed into a comfy infant carrycot. This is a great option for parents who do not want to disturb their infant when traveling. Depending on the brand, some also feature a car seat and stroller combo that clicks into one another. This means that you can keep your child secure in the car seat, and then transfer them to a pushchair without causing any disturbance, which is ideal for long drives and busy shopping centres.

A quality stroller must be equipped with a variety of features that make it practical and user-friendly. It should include a large storage basket that can hold essentials such as nappies as well as toys and snacks. It can also recline so that your child can lie down comfortably. It should also have an adequate canopy to shield your baby from sun and a lockable front wheel for added safety. It should also be lightweight and compact for storage as well as transportation to and from the car.

pram pushchair 2 in 1 that have been tested by editors, like the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo and Chicco Keyfit Caddy, offer convenience because they connect with a range of top car seats. These car seats click onto the frame to be connected and fold up easily. Some have a single wheel on each leg, making them easier to manoeuvre and roll over different surfaces.

Ideal strollers should be capable of carrying your child throughout toddlerhood and beyond and allow you to continue to use it to transport them to and from activities, school and play dates. If your child is outgrowing their car seat, look for a stroller that is able to seat your child in the world and that reclines.


If you are planning to use your 2-in-1 travel system for public transport choose models that have an ISOFIX base so it's safe to get on and off trains or buses. Certain models, such as the Doona can be mounted on trains and planes to make traveling with your baby easier.
