2 in 1 Car Seat Stroller Combos

We love combinations that make it seem like the car seat is a natural component of the stroller. Strollers and carseats that don't require any pressure to attach or detach are less likely to make mistakes (both intentionally and accidentally).

The best car seat/stroller combinations are easy, quick and have an audible click when attached.

Easy to Assemble

Car seat and stroller combos are a great option for parents traveling. The stroller can be put together in a single move and the infant car seat snapped into place without the need to attach straps. They make it easier to switch between a vehicle and a stroller, which is helpful if you're running errands with your child or going for a walk in the park.

In our car-seat-stroller combo tests the speed and ease of assembly as well as the connection between the infant car seat and stroller and how easy it is for both seats to move around town are all measured. The stroller elements of a car seat and stroller combo should be strong and lightweight. It's also important to choose a combination that will be able to meet your family's growing needs. If you're planning to have twins, you'll want a stroller that converts from a double stroller into a triple stroller.

The UPPAbaby Combo Cruz V2 is a great choice for its intuitive, easy assembly and its durable, reliable quality. It comes with the UPPAbaby Mini infant car seat as well as the UPPAbaby Second Seat Kit 2.0. This kit includes a Seat, Upper and Lower Adapters (to raise the 1st Seat to allow space for the 2nd) as well as the Riding Board accessory.

The Doona Car Seat and Stroller Combo also stands out. Its seamless conversion from car to stroller only takes a few minutes, and lets you use the trunk to store more shopping bags or groceries. This innovative solution from Doona is also a breeze to install in your car thanks to its LATCH base and click-in design.

Other easy-to-assemble combos include the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pushchair pram and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo. They all feature rubber tires, a single front wheel for easy pushing and the versatility of a swivel front wheel to run jogging or through errands. Finally, we like the iCandy Peony Combo because it comes with a simple fold-up with one hand and a spacious storage basket that can accommodate everything you need to travel with.

Easy to Fold

The best 2 in 1 car seat strollers fold up and away with minimal fuss. These strollers also come with a storage tray and cupholders which are useful for parents who travel. A majority of models come with a parent console that has two cup holders, a covered compartment to store keys and other things as well as two cupholders. Additionally, the handlebar on these strollers is adjustable, so you can adjust it to your height. This makes it easier to move and push and maneuver. Some of the best performers in our car seat and stroller combination reviews have high scores for user-friendliness.

You want to make sure the car seat and the base of the stroller you purchase are compatible because you won't be in a position to remove the infant carrier from the stroller when it's not connected to its base in your vehicle. Some of the most rated travel systems come with bases that attach with LATCH which is the safest option for babies. Some travel systems come with an attachment that can be clicked-in and are more user-friendly than the ones that require straps.

Some stroller and car seat combinations, such as the Doona Combo have a one step design that lets you fold everything up into a compact and lightweight bundle. This is especially useful for parents who use public transportation or rideshares often, or who switch between caregivers.

Another option for travel is the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, which is similar to the Doona in that the car seat unfolds from the stroller's base. The car seat can't be removed from the stroller while it is not in your vehicle. This could be a problem when you're looking to switch caregivers or run errands while keeping your baby in the backseat.

Other car seat and stroller combos, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 in 1 pram Combo Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and BOB Alterrain Pro come with car seat adapters that click-in only and don't require straps which helps simplify the process. They're still heavier than the Doona but they're also able to score excellent scores for maneuverability and are compatible with the majority of infant car seats.

Easy to Carry

Car seat stroller combos are ideal for parents who wish to skip the hassle of transferring their infant car seat from their vehicle to stroller. They're usually much more user-friendly than travel systems that have a separate toddler seat and are usually smaller and lighter, as well. Some have features that make them simple to use, such as a parent cup holder or large storage baskets.

The Doona Combo is a popular (it has a 90% five-star rating on Amazon) one-and-done option that doesn't require an additional base for the stroller. It's a car seat for infants that can also function as a stroller. The base has a latch and is rear-facing. We love the fact that it's easy to attach and detach the infant carrier with one hand, and it's also easy to fold it with a child in the seat. We also love the fact that it's super lightweight--about 7.5 pounds. However, the lack of storage and convenience features resulted in a lower score than other frame strollers, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Combo, UPPAbaby Cruz V2 Combo and Chicco Keyfit Caddy Combo.

If you're shopping for a two-in-1 option that can hold multiple car seats, look for a model with built-in adapters that snap in place. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo is an excellent example. It works with two different brands and models of infant car seats but it does not require straps. Other two-in-1 options we've tested, like the Baby Trend Snap-N-Go Ex, have a similar setup but require straps to attach the carrier.

When choosing a car seat and stroller combination, think about how you will utilize it. Do you need a light-duty option to go for strolls or jogs around the neighborhood? A jogger with suspension with a bigger canopy and can withstand all kinds of weather conditions and terrains. The UPPAbaby Cruz V2 Combo, for example, has a high maneuverability score and an enormous basket that can accommodate up to two seats.

The Chicco Keyfit Caddy frame stroller is a budget-friendly choice that works with Chicco Keyfit infant seat carriers. It's not a fancy stroller, but it is easy to fold and use. It can be used by children weighing up to 30 pounds.

Easy to store

Combinations of strollers and car seats can be a big space saver. The infant carrier snaps in and out of the stroller. This means it occupies less space than a single vehicle seat. Some combos don't come with an independent fold, and you might require you to lean your folded stroller against something or a wall. To avoid this, you should select the stroller and car seat that are both easy to store.

A two-in-one travel system typically costs more than a separate stroller and car seat, but can save you money in the long run as you'll purchase less items in the future. The cost of the product is also dependent on the manufacturer and the features that are included. Some come with additional features like snack trays for children or parent cup holders. Others are more basic and only include the infant seat and base.

Ultimately, the best option for a budget-friendly car seat and stroller combo is one that includes all of the essential features you need to enjoy your family's daily outings. If you intend to take your child for numerous walks in the sun, you should choose a travel system that has a large canopy. If you're required to carry a large amount of gear with you, look for a stroller with a spacious storage basket. If you intend to use your car seat frequently with older children, think about upgrading to a double stroller.

Doona's infant car seat and stroller combo is the best choice for the ultimate convenience. This innovative product lets you transform the car seat into a stroller in just seconds, wherever you are. This makes it the ideal option for parents who travel to cities that are busy, ride-share or take public transportation.

The Doona is a recipient of many international awards for its innovative features and design. It is designed to be practical and secure for those in a constant state of motion. You can easily switch from your car to a stroller to run the errands or embark on an international adventure. It's approved and certified for air travel so you can carry it wherever.
