Car Seat and Stroller Combos

The best car stroller and seat combos nearly seem to connect themselves. "Look for a base and carrier that can be easily clicked together," advises Stanton. This minimizes the potential for errors that can happen during installation and detachment.

Doona is one option that can do this. It easily converts from a car seat into stroller, and lets you free up space in your trunk. Online reviews have noted that it feels sturdy, but they also love its simplicity of use and functionality.

Easy to Assemble

A car seat and stroller combo is an attractive choice for parents who want to avoid the hassle of switching between the two. It also makes sense for those who frequently use rideshares or public transportation and for parents who change caregivers. Stanton states that since they're a single piece and the wheels are connected the car seats are more mobile. However, she adds, it's important to ensure that your car seat is securely secured when you use it with a travel system. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and the manual of your vehicle's owner to ensure a secure fit she advises.

In our tests, we found that the most effective stroller and car seat combinations feature a simple, click-in connection that requires minimal effort beyond shifting the carrier from one place to the next. These models scored higher than those with more complex connections, as they require less pressure and provide fewer opportunities for mistakes (intentional or accidental). We like, for example the fact that the UPPAbaby Vista Combo is a simple drop-in attachment that requires no straps, and has a gauge on the base of the car seat that shows that the seat is level correctly.

Similarly, the Doona All-in-One Stroller for Infants is simple to set up and move from stroller to vehicle. It's a seamless transition that frees up trunk space for shopping and errands. It also has a swivel steering wheel at the front that allows for excellent maneuverability even when the seat attached.

Car seat stroller combinations are an excellent choice for parents who want to keep their baby as comfortable as they can, whether they're running errands or heading out for a family vacation. Stroller-car seat combos are simpler to move than separate items, and a number of models have convenient features that differentiate them from other strollers. It is important to keep in mind that the car seat and stroller must be compatible for use together. The manufacturer of the car seat must provide guidelines on what kinds of strollers are compatible with their product, and a quick online search will help find the right stroller.

Some strollers and carseats come with a direct attachment that snaps into place without the need for additional straps or complicated installation. This kind of simple attachment is a major selling point, and it's particularly helpful for families who frequently use ride-share vehicles or public transportation. The Doona for instance, is an FAA-approved infant car seat that is able to transform into a stroller with just the click of a button. This is a great time-saver and allows you to avoid having to check your stroller's gate on planes (assuming you've purchased an airline chair for your infant) or to hop into and out of taxis.

Other stroller-car-seat combos such as the Nuna TrVL allow parents to remove the infant car seat from the base of the stroller and fold it into a compact unit that can be tucked away into the trunk. This is a great feature for parents who are busy. The stroller itself has a sleek design with premium fabrics, and smart features such as a built-in drape canopy that protects babies who are sleeping.

The Doona is a cost-effective option, which is especially appealing to parents who are just starting out. It's less expensive than the cost of an annual gym membership, and it gives new parents assurance that they'll have a safe and secure travel kit for their infant.

Many families opt for a two-piece stroller/car seat system if they are set on a specific brand of infant carrier or plans to have more than one child. If this is the case, be sure to review the specifications of the product to ensure that your stroller and car seat will work in conjunction. Consider purchasing an adapter to match your desired combination.

Easy to Fold

Other brands, such as the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, allow you to click in the car seat, and then unfold it into a stroller. It's not as sleek as Doona, but it allows you to remove the car seat from the frame without having to click it into the base.

It is also important to consider whether a particular stroller or infant car seat combo can fit your preferred car seat brand. If it is compatible, you are likely to enjoy longer-lasting use from the product since it will work with your child when they get out of the infant car seat.

However, it's important to know that certain stroller and car seats aren't performing well in our tests of ease-of-use.

It's worth reading our review to determine which model is the best for you.
