A stroller and car seat combination is the best option, whether you want to travel comfortably or create a modern version of the traditional pram. Verify the specifications to make sure that your stroller and car seat are compatible, or you can consider buying an adapter.

Travel systems that have been tested by editors allow you to move your baby who is sleeping in the car to a stroller, without disturbing them. Some travel systems have an infant carrycot to help encourage the natural sleep.

Car Seat

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

A top pick is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which has an incredible 90 percent of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing vehicle seat that converts into a rolling stroller--the transition is a matter of seconds. The wheels fold under and it's small when not in use. The Doona can also be connected to a car's backseat by using the rigid LATCH base, or to taxi-safety belt paths. This makes it a great choice for urban families.

The Mamas & Papas pramette another excellent car seat/stroller combo. It features an infant pram stroller 2 in 1 with a hood which opens and a front seat that can be lowered to let your child lay down for nap time or feedings. It has a spacious basket, cup holders and a basket for all of your baby's necessities as well as a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat features a multi-position reclining seat and can recline to a flat position so baby is comfy for every ride.

The weight and height limits are also important. Also, think about whether the infant car seat can be used only with a belt for the back seat or in the event that it comes with a strong LATCH system integrated into. Also, look for a lock on the handle to keep it secure, as well as the ability to tilt the handle toward the back of the seatback to make an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems are only suitable for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats that can be turned forward-facing later, cannot be converted into strollers. Because of this, many moms choose to purchase a separate stroller and car seat when their child grows out of the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a crucial piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems have the baby pram that can be converted into a comfy infant carrycot. This is ideal for parents who don't want to disturb their newborn while traveling. Some brands also have carseats and strollers combination that can be linked. This means you can keep your child secured in the car seat, and then move them to a stroller without disturbing them, which is ideal for long trips and busy shopping centres.

A quality stroller should come with many features that make it simple to use and practical. It should come with a large storage basket that can hold essentials such as nappies as well as toys and snacks. It must also recline so that your child can sleep comfortably. It should also come with an adequate canopy to shield your baby from the sun's rays and a lockable for the front wheel to ensure safety. Lastly it should be light and compact enough to make it easy to store or transport 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 with a range of top car seats that can be attached to the frame and fold easily. Some have one wheel on each leg to make them easier to move and roll across different surfaces.

The ideal stroller should be able to carry your child through the stage of toddlerhood, and beyond and allow you to continue using it to get them to and from events like school, play dates, and so on. For this reason, look for a model that has an opening that allows your child to face the world (and reclines) when your child is no longer in the car seat.

If you plan on using your 2 in 1 pram pushchair-in-1 travel system on public transportation you should look for a model with an ISOFIX base to ensure that it is safe to hop on and off buses or trains. Certain models, like the Doona can be installed on planes and trains to make traveling with your baby easier.
