Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The most reliable car seat stroller combos are so simple to attach that it almost feels like they're doing it themselves. "Look for an appropriate base and a carrier that can be easily clicked together," advises Stanton. This will reduce the chance of errors during installation and removal.

Doona is one option that can do this. It seamlessly transforms from a car seat into stroller, and makes space in your trunk. Reviewers on the internet say it feels substantial but they also appreciate its user-friendliness and its functionality.

A car seat and stroller combination is a great option for parents who wish to avoid the hassle of switching between the two. It's also an ideal choice for those who often use public transportation or rideshares as well as parents who change caregivers. Stanton states that since they're a single piece and the wheels are connected the car seats are more easily portable.

In our tests, we found that the most effective stroller and car seat combinations feature a simple, click-in connection that requires minimal effort other than shifting the car from one place to the next. These models scored higher compared to models with more complicated connections because they require less pressure and provide fewer opportunities for errors, whether deliberate or accidental. For example, we like the fact that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo has a simple drop-in attachment that needs no straps--and that there's an indicator on the base of the car seat that indicates when it's level.

The Doona All in-One Stroller for Infants too, is easy to set up and move from car to stroller. It's a seamless transformation that allows extra trunk space for shopping and other errands. It also has a swivel wheel on the front that permits excellent maneuverability even with the seat on.

Easy to store

Parents who want their child to be as comfortable as possible are better off choosing a car seat and stroller combination, whether running errands for the day or taking an outing with the family. Stroller-car seat combos are easier to move than separate items, and a number of models have convenient features that differentiate them from other strollers. It is crucial to remember that the car seat must be compatible with the stroller for them to work together. The car seat manufacturer should give guidelines on which strollers are compatible with their products. A quick search on the internet can help you narrow your options.

Some strollers and carseats have an attachment that snaps in place without the need for additional straps or a complicated installation. This type of easy attachment is a big selling point, and is particularly helpful for families who often use ride-share cars or public transportation. The Doona, for example, is an FAA-approved infant car seat that can be converted into a stroller at the push of one button. This is a fantastic time-saver and helps you avoid having to check your stroller's gate on planes (assuming that you have also purchased an airline chair for your child) or to get into and out of taxis.

Other car seat and stroller combos, like the Nuna TRVL, allow parents to take the infant carrier from the stroller base and then fold it up into a compact size that can be stored into the trunk of a vehicle. This is a fantastic feature for busy parents. The stroller itself also features a sleek design and high-end fabrics, and smart features such as a built-in canopy that drapes over a baby who's snoozing.

A few of the most well-known and highly rated car seat/stroller combos are lightweight, compact and come with wheels that fold to make it easy to store. For example, the Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is a no-frills seat that can be converted from an rear-facing five-point harness into an infant booster when children are no longer in a baby carrier.

If this is the situation, make sure you go over the specifications of the product to ensure that the stroller you choose and car seat can work in tandem. Consider purchasing an adapter if necessary to fit your preferred combination.

Easy to Fold

The stroller and car seat combo is a great choice for parents looking for a single piece that can be used for multiple purposes. They can easily transition from a car seat to a stroller, and back again, and they're usually easier to maneuver than two-piece travel systems. Stanton says that they are designed to be more compact. "They have a lot less moving parts, which means they're more compact to fold, carry, and use."

Additionally, these kinds of strollers and car seats for infants are generally lighter than two-piece models and can be tucked away in small trunks, making them easy to transport. They also tend to have an extra cargo basket and more practical features like cup holders and sun shades. Some have a swivel wheel on the front that is great for navigating busy streets and shopping centers.

Some brands, like Doona, offer all-in-one infant stroller and car seat solutions. They are especially useful parents who plan to take advantage of rideshares or public transportation, or change caregivers frequently. This model is a rear-facing car seat that has wheels that can be transformed into a stroller.

Other brands, like the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to click on the car seat and fold it up into the shape of a stroller. It's not as sleek as Doona however, it allows you to remove the car seat from the frame without needing to click it into the base.
