11 "Faux Pas" That Are Actually Acceptable To Create With Your Car Seat Buggy 2 In 1 Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use


Car seat buggy 2 in 1 combines the two most important baby equipment pieces: the infant car seat and the stroller. It makes hopping off and on public transportation (and climbing and descending stairs) much easier.

One of the best options for this is the Doona infant car seat & stroller combo. It's the first integrated travel system that lets you to switch between the car seat and stroller in a matter of seconds without disturbing your baby.

Easy to Use

Parents should have a stroller and car seat combination that is easy to use. These travel systems allow you to easily switch between running errands or walking the dog before going for a run. They also aid in keeping up with your child's changing needs so that you can focus on enjoying your family adventures. Our testers are impressed by how smoothly and conveniently these travel systems glide regardless of whether they have one front wheel or a swiveling rear wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo as well as the BOB Alterrain Pro combo, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are simple to move. But even the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo can be moved with one hand.

Some models are difficult to attach or remove from the base, though. The Doona Combo requires a two step attachment process, and straps that cover the bottom portion of the infant carrier. It is tempting to skip these steps, but this could lead to unsafe results.

Similarly some models are hard to fold away and store making them less practical than other. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold due its large dimensions and bulky frames. Some reviewers have also found the canopy of this model to be unsatisfactory. However the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is very simple to fold with just the pull of a lever and a snap of an button. It is also a great option for parents who intend to use their car seat on vehicles of other people, since it can be quickly detached from the base and attached to any standard stroller.

Easy to Fold

Whether you're storing the car seat on its own or in the trunk of your vehicle or even in a closet, it should be simple to fold and unfold. The best combos we've tested feature simple, one-handed fold that's compact and durable enough to be used on long strolls. They are also easy to maneuver and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. Certain combos are only attached and detached by straps. This may seem like a step in the back and could make it difficult for parents to secure their car seat correctly.

The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a fantastic option due to its sturdy construction and practical features, including a large storage bin that can be accessed from the back or front. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to secure a car seat installation simply by connecting the lower anchors by pulling the straps tightly and then putting the carrier in the base.

It's also fairly light which makes 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 very well in our ease of use tests. Both come with a single wheel that is easy to push with one hand. Push Chairs And Prams have a single front wheel which is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a flexible spinner wheel, ideal for running errands and shopping. The only downside is that they are heavy and can be difficult to lift when carrying a child in the car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Certain car seat and stroller combinations are difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the simplest travel systems to put together. It even includes a helpful guide. Other models, including the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also easy to assemble. However the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to put together as it requires two steps to assemble - connecting the lower anchors and using straps that go over the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy, which means it requires two people to click the carrier into the base, and then detach it.

In our tests, it took us about 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby v2 together. This is a bit rapid when you consider the amount of time it saves by not having to take out all of the individual pieces. The toddler seat can be slid into and removed easily on the majority of these models.
