If you're looking to get around with ease or create a modern take on a pram, a car seat and stroller combo is the best 2 in 1 stroller option. Read the specs carefully to make sure your car seat and pushchair work together, or consider buying an adapter.

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

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 highchair in 1 travel system includes an infant car seat as well as a stroller that snaps together. It's a convenience for parents and caregivers who often run errands while with baby or take their young one out on public transportation or rideshares. "You will have less gear to worry about," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families who alternate between carpooling and public transit with other moms."

Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a top option, with 90 percent of Amazon reviews rating it five stars. It's a rear-facing car seat that can be converted into a rolling jogging stroller in seconds. When not in use, the wheels can be folded under and it's small. The Doona can also be attached to a car's backseat with the LATCH base that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt paths making it ideal for commuters and families in cities.

The Mamas & Papas Pramette is yet another great car seat/stroller, which includes the pram having the hood as well as a the front seat, which opens to allow you to lie your child down to sleep or for feedings. It comes with a huge basket, cup holders, and a sun shade to store your baby's essentials. The stroller seat can recline in various positions and even flat and your baby will be able to relax 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 only with a backseat car belt or has an additional layer of protection with a built-in rigid LATCH system. Look for a handle lock to keep the handle in the right place. You can tilt the handle to the rear seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats which can be turned forward later, are not able to snap into strollers. Many moms opt to purchase a separate car seat and stroller once their child has outgrown an infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is an essential piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems have the baby pram that converts into a cosy infant carrycot so that your baby can rest peacefully on the go which is ideal for parents of newborns and those who do not want to disturb them while traveling. Based on the brand, some also feature the option of a stroller and car seat combo that clicks into one another. This allows you to keep your child in the car seat and then transfer them to the stroller without disrupting them.

Ideally, a stroller should be versatile enough to last throughout toddlerhood and beyond if you require it to carry your child to and from school or to play dates, activities and so on. When your child outgrows their car seat, you should look for a stroller that is able to seat your child in the world and reclines.

If you intend to use your 2-in-1 travel system on public transportation you should look for a model with an ISOFIX base so it's safe to take off and on trains or buses. Some models, like the Doona can also be installed on planes and trains to make travelling with a baby more convenient.
