Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
Car seat buggy 2 in 1 combines the two most essential pieces of baby gear including the infant car seat and stroller. It makes getting on and off public transport (and walking up and down steps) so much easier.
One of the best options for this is the Doona infant car seat and stroller combination. It's the first integrated travel system that allows you to switch between the car seat and stroller in just a few seconds without disturbing your sleepy baby.
Simple to Use
Parents should have a stroller and car seat combination that is simple to use. These travel systems allow you to effortlessly switch between running errands or walking the dog before going for a run. You can also keep up with the ever-changing requirements of your child so that you can take your family on adventures. These travel systems glide effortlessly and smoothly, regardless of regardless of whether they have a front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, the BOB Alterrain pro combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are simple to move. However, the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo can be pulled by one hand.
Some models are difficult to attach or remove from the base, though. The Doona Combo requires a two step attachment process, and straps which cover the bottom of the infant carrier. It's tempting to skip these steps but it could result in unsafe outcomes.
Certain models are also more difficult to fold and store than others, making them less practical. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is difficult to fold due to its huge dimensions and bulky frame. Some users also find the canopy on this model disappointing. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is easy to fold down with the push of a button and pulling the lever. This model is a great option for parents who wish to use their car seat in the other cars, as it can be easily removed from the base.
Easy to Fold
It should be simple to unfold and fold the car seat, no matter if you're storing it inside your trunk or a closet. The most effective combinations we've tested have a simple one-handed fold that is compact and strong enough to be used for long walks. They're also easy to maneuver, gliding smoothly over uneven surfaces and bumps. We've seen a few combinations that can only be attached or removed using straps, which can be a hassle and make it harder for parents to secure the car seat correctly.
We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo for its handy features and sturdy construction that include a huge storage basket that's accessible from the front to the back. SafeCenter LATCH, a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo allows you to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tight.
It's also light and compact, making it a great choice for families or frequent travelers with multiple vehicles. 2 in 1 infant car seat and stroller and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored very well in our ease-of-use tests. Both come with a single front wheel that's simple to push (one-handed! 2 in 1 pushchair have a single front wheel which is easy to push (one-handed!). They also have a movable swing wheel, which is ideal for shopping or running errands. The only drawback is that they're quite heavy, so it can be tricky to lift them up when you're carrying a child in a car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the simplest travel systems to assemble. It even comes with a handy guide. Other models, including the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista V2 Thule urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also fairly simple to assemble. However, the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps: attaching the lower anchors, and using straps that go over the bottom portion of the carrier. It's heavy, so it takes two people to snap the carrier in the base, and then to remove it.
In our tests, it took around 5 minutes to put together the UPPAbaby Cruz. This is a relatively quick process when you take into account the time saved from not having to rip out all the individual pieces. The majority of these models come with an easy method of attaching and detaching the toddler's seat, but there are other options as well.
