A 2 in 1 Travel System

If you want to travel with ease or you want to make a modern interpretation of a pram, a car seat and stroller combo is the best option. Take a look at the specifications carefully to make sure your car seat and pushchair work together, or think about buying an adaptor.

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

Car Seat

A http://emseyi.com/user/testmove97 includes an infant car seat and a stroller that snaps together. This is a great choice for parents who often do errands or take their child on rides or public transport. "You'll have less gear to handle," explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families who alternate between carpooling with other moms and using public transit."

Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a top choice, with 90 % of Amazon reviews giving it five stars. It's a rear-facing car seats that converts into a stroller that rolls. The transition only takes seconds. When not in use the wheels can be folded under and it is small. The Doona can also be attached to a car's backseat using the LATCH base that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt routes, making it a great choice for city families and commuters.

The Mamas and Papas Pramette is yet another great car seat/stroller combination, featuring a pram with the hood as well as a the front seat, which opens to let you lay your child down for naptime or feedings. It comes with a large basket, cup holders and a basket for everything your baby needs, plus a parent tray and sun shade. The stroller seat has an adjustable reclining seat that can recline to a flat position, making sure your baby is comfortable on every ride.

Other important car seat features to be considered are the weight and height limits as well as whether the infant car seat can be used with just the backseat belt or has an extra layer of protection that includes the LATCH system built into it. Look for a lock on the handle to keep the handle in place. You can also tilt the handle toward the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats that can be turned forward later, cannot be converted into strollers. Many moms decide to purchase a separate car seat and stroller once their child is no longer in an infant seat.



Stroller

A stroller is an essential piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems come with the baby pram that can be transformed into a comfortable infant carrycot. This is a great option for parents who do not want to disturb their infant when traveling. Based on the brand it may also come with an automobile seat and stroller combo that clicks into each other. This allows you to keep your child in the car seat while you transfer them to the stroller without disturbing them.

A good stroller should have numerous features that make it simple to use and practical. It should have a large basket to store essential items such as nappies as well as toys and snacks. It should also be able recline so that your child can rest comfortably. It should also have a canopy to protect your child from sun, and an lockable wheel on the front for security. Lastly it should be light and compact enough to store it in storage or for transporting to and from the car.

Travel system strollers that have been tested by an editor such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all offer convenience by connecting to a variety of top car seats that can be attached to the frame and fold easily. Some come with a single wheel on each leg, which makes them easier to manoeuvre and roll on different surfaces.

Ideally, a stroller should be able to endure through toddlerhood and beyond if you want it to carry your child to and from school, activities and play dates. For this reason, choose a stroller that has a seat that faces the world (and reclines) once your baby outgrows the car seat.

If you intend to use your 2-in-1 travel system on public transport choose a model with an ISOFIX base to ensure that it is safe to get on and off buses or trains. Some models, such as the Doona, can even be fitted on trains and planes to make traveling with a child easier.
