A 2 in 1 pram car seat in 1 Travel System

If you're looking to travel with ease or make a modern interpretation of an old-fashioned stroller, a car seat and stroller combo is the best 2 in 1 car seat stroller option. Make sure to check the specifications to ensure that your stroller and car seat are compatible or consider purchasing an adapter.

Travel systems that have been tested by editors allow you to move your sleeping baby from the car to the stroller without disturbing them. Some also include a carrycot that allows for a natural sleep.

Car Seat

A two-in-one travel system comes with the infant car seat and a stroller that snaps together. This is a great option for parents who often make errands, or take their baby on public transport or rideshares. "You will have less gear to worry about," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's perfect for families who alternate between carpooling with other moms newborn and infant prams taking public transportation."

A top pick is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which gets 90 percent of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing car seat that drops down to a stroller that can be turned into a rolling one. The change is quick and easy. The wheels fold down underneath, and it's compact when not in use. The Doona also attaches to the back of a car using the LATCH base that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt paths making it a great choice for commuters and families in cities.

The Mamas and Papas Pramette is another 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 for naptime or for feedings. It comes with a large basket with cup holders to store all of your baby's necessities and a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat is a multi-position reclining seat, and can recline to a flat, making sure your baby is comfortable on every ride.

The weight and height limits are important. Also, think about whether the car seat for infants can only be used with a belt for the back seat or when it has a sturdy LATCH system integrated into. Look for a lock on the handle to keep the handle in position. You can also tilt the handle toward the seatback in the rear to create an anti-rebound bar.

It's worth noting that travel systems only work with infant car seats--and extended-use car seats that later turn forward-facing do not convert into strollers. Many moms opt to purchase an additional stroller and car seat when their child is no longer in an infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a must-have piece of equipment for the new parents. Some travel systems have a baby pram that transforms into a comfortable infant carrycot so that your little one can sleep peacefully on the go which is ideal for parents of newborns and those who do not want to disturb them when traveling. Depending on the model, some also feature an automobile seat and stroller combination that connects to one another. This means that you can keep your child secure in the car seat, and then transfer them to a stroller without disturbing them, which is great for long journeys and busy shopping centers.

A great stroller should be equipped with a variety of features that make it convenient and easy to use. It should have an ample basket for storing essentials such as nappies as well as toys and snacks. It can also recline so that your child can rest comfortably. It should also come with an adequate canopy to shield your baby from the sun, and a lockable front wheel for added safety. Lastly, it should be lightweight and fold compactly for storage or transporting to and from the car.

Editor-tested travel system strollers such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all offer convenience by connecting to a variety top car seats that snap to the frame and fold up with ease. Some also have a single wheel on each leg, making them more maneuverable and roll across different surfaces.

The best strollers are capable of carrying your child throughout the stage of toddlerhood, and beyond and allow you to continue to use it to take your child to and from activities such as school, play dates and other events. When your child outgrows their car seat, you should look for a stroller that features a seat that faces the world and that reclines.

If you are planning to utilize your cheap 2 in 1 prams-in-1 travel system on public transport, select a model that has an ISOFIX base. This will ensure that it is safe to hop on and off trains or buses. Some models, like the Doona can be fitted on trains and airplanes to make travelling with a baby simpler.
