A two-in-one travel system with car seat offers parents the convenience of having an infant car seat and stroller that work together. They can be costly.

These combos allow parents to easily transfer a sleepy child from the car to the stroller, and in reverse, without disturbing them. This is a great option for families who are always on the move.

Comfort

If you're looking for an easy method to move your baby from the car to stroller without waking them up an infant car seat, a travel system that includes a stroller seat and infant car seat could be the thing you're looking for. These all-in-ones differ from stroller-only models because they usually come with an infant car seat and the stroller. They are suitable for both newborns and older children. Many of the car seats and strollers combinations on our list come with bassinet attachments as well and can be an excellent alternative to a traditional stroller for naptime walks.

A 2 in 1 carrycot and pushchair-in-1 travel system that comes with a car seat will cost more than purchasing the items separately, but you'll save money and time by purchasing them all at once. And if you decide later on that the stroller and car seat aren't quite right for your family, a majority of manufacturers offer adapters that allow you to use the car seat with another stroller (provided it meets the weight and height requirements).

When shopping for a travel set keep in mind that most of these sets come with an infant car-seat as well as a stroller that are designed to work together. They are intended to be used in the first year. If you intend on keeping the car seat and using it past this time, you should look for one that has an convertible car seat that can also be used as a toddler seat and has a higher weight limit.

Some travel systems also feature a second seat that can serve as a booster for older children. While this is a nice option however, it's not necessary and might not be practical depending on your life style.

Some of the best 2 in 1 prams stroller-car seat combinations can be transformed to a double as you grow your family. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo is an ideal combination of a stroller as well as a infant car seat that can be pushed into place to instantly convert into chariots for two. This is particularly important if the car seat is your baby's sole vehicle seat.

Other stroller-car seat combinations may have more complex conversion methods. You may need to manually connect the car seat to stroller or attach straps to base to ensure it is secured. This method was more difficult to master in our tests than the Doona's one-step conversion. It can be dangerous when you forget or misplace the straps to secure the straps prior to using the travel system.
