two in one pram in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
The Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1, incorporates two of the most crucial baby items: strollers and infant car seats. It makes getting on and off public transport (and climbing and descending the stairs) much easier.
Doona's infant car seat and stroller combination is a fantastic choice. It's the first fully integrated travel system in the world that lets you switch from the car seat to the stroller without disturbing your baby.
Easy to Use
Car seat and stroller combos that are easy to use are a must for parents. These systems let you easily switch between running errands walking the dog and going for an outing. They also help you keep up with your child's changing needs, so you can focus on enjoying your family's adventures. These travel systems move smoothly and easily, regardless of whether they have a front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are especially easy to maneuver and even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pushed easily with a single hand.
Some models can be difficult to attach or remove from the base. The Doona Combo requires a two step process of attachment, and straps that cover the bottom portion of the infant carrier. It's tempting to skip these steps, however this could lead to unsafe outcomes.
Additionally certain models are difficult to fold away and store and store away, making them less convenient than others. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is hard to fold due to its huge dimensions and heavy frame. Some testers have also found the canopy of this model to be unsatisfactory. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is easy to fold down with one button and a pull of the lever. This model is an excellent option for parents who wish to use their car seat in the other cars, since it can be easily detached from the base.
Easy to Fold
Whether you're storing the car seat on its own or in the trunk of your vehicle or even in a closet, it should be simple to fold and unfold. The best combinations we've tested feature a simple, one-handed fold that's compact and sturdy enough to use on long strolls. They're also easy to maneuver and glide effortlessly over uneven surfaces. We've seen some combos that can only be attached or removed using straps, which could be a hassle and make it more difficult for parents to ensure that the car seat is secured properly.
We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo for its handy features and sturdy construction, which include a large storage basket that's accessible from the front to back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to achieve a secure car seat installation by simply connecting the lower anchors by pulling the straps tightly and clicking the carrier into the base.
It's also quite light, making it a great option for frequent travellers or families with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored very well in our tests of ease-of-use. Both come with one front wheel that's easy to push (one-handed! ), as well as an swivel front wheel that can be swiveled which is ideal for shopping or running errands. The only issue is that they are heavy and are difficult to lift up when a baby is in a car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some stroller and car seat combinations can be difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the easiest travel systems to put together. It comes with a handy guide. Other models we looked at, such as the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista V2 Thule Urban Glide 2, and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also easy to put together. In contrast, the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps to assemble - attaching the lower anchors and using straps that are placed over the bottom portion of the carrier. It's also heavy, and it takes two hands to snap the carrier into the base, then detach it from the base.
In our tests it took us around 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby v2 together. This is quite fast when you consider how much time is saved by not having to take out all of the individual pieces. The majority of these models come with a simple process for attaching and removing the toddler seat, as well.
