Easy to Assemble

The best stroller and car seat combinations are simple to put together, attach to the vehicle and then remove from the stroller. A good rule of thumb is to aim for 5 minutes or less to get everything ready to go, Moriarty says. A simple, intuitive procedure can help you avoid a mistake which could expose your child to danger.

Graco City Select 2 Car Seat & Stroller Travel Systems came out on top in our tests of ease of assembly. The entire process took less than 30 seconds. We connected the infant car seat and toddler seat, which was then attached to the base using a single click. Next we connected the lower and upper adapters to create space for an additional seat (sold separately) or bassinet. This made a stroller that grows with your family, offering over 22 seating configurations, including the included seat and up to 45 lbs of weight in each seat.

UPPAbaby's Vista v2 Combo also impressed us with its all-wheel suspension that is springy that can handle even rough roads. The combination is expensive, but it includes a car, bassinet and a weather shield to keep your child happy.

We also noticed how it was simple for us to maneuver the stroller. The City Mini GT Combo by Baby Jogger comes with one wheel on the front, which is ideal for turning corners or moving down narrow aisles. The Thule Urban Glide 2, BOB Alterrain Pro and Baby Jogger City Mini GT Combo have swivel tires to handle tight turns. We found these models to be a breeze to push--even with a car seat seated on top. We also loved the fact that the frame folds easily and compactly.

The easiest-to-use combo was the Doon. Its compact size and easy fold (which an editor deemed "amazing that you can do it with a baby on your hip!") make it an ideal space saver. The car seat can be separated from its base with just a click and release. The only downside we've found is that the Doon requires straps to secure the car seat, which some parents may not have, but that's not a major issue.

Easy to Fold

A 2-in-1 car seat stroller combination can be an essential tool when it comes to streamlining your daily routine. It's important to be able move your child easily from the car to the stroller when you use public transportation. Moriarty recommends that you look for a system that can be removed from the base, pram and pushchair 2 in 1 then attached and detached to the frame of the stroller in a single-handed motion. The Doona Combo is a great example of a car seat and stroller combo that meets these criteria.

The unique design of this stroller makes it simple to change it from a baby carrier to a toddler seat, letting you switch out the car seat to suit your growing child's requirements. It's also designed to be extremely compact and folds flat making it an ideal choice for travelers. It performed well in our tests and the suspension is excellent. The seat can be stowed with the handlebar still attached.

However, the Doona isn't recommended for infants under 4 months, since it can only be detached from the base and attaches to the stroller in only one hand. It's also not foldable with the infant carrier on which could be a problem in tight spaces. The Nuna Pipa is the best option for infants, as it doesn't require an additional base and is compatible with a rigid LATCH connector that is integrated into the car seat.

It's a bit more expensive than the Doona but it comes with additional advantages that make it worth the investment. The Pipa is lightweight and folds down to a free-standing position, so it's easy to carry around. It's also a little bigger than the Doona, and can even accommodate a medium-sized backpack. The canopy is also impressive, offering multiple options for adjusting the amount of coverage and allowing shade. It's also a great option for international travel, as it can be put in the car without the base and is affixed to air travel. The only downside is that it can't fit into an overhead bin on the majority of airplanes.

Convenient Cargo Area

When you are looking for a car seat stroller combination it is important to ensure that the stroller has enough space to accommodate both your child's items and your own. Look for features like a large storage basket and a hook for the diaper bag and an exterior cargo pocket that can hold the water bottle. Think about a tray for children and pockets inside for snacks and drinks, and an adult cupholder.

Car seat and stroller combination that folds easily and compactly are great for parents with limited storage space. The best ones can be folded in one hand and will fit into small trunks. A majority of them remain upright when folded to avoid wrinkles. They are an excellent choice for families that are always moving.

Another feature you can look for in a stroller is one with an adjustable handlebar. You'll want to adjust the handlebar to various heights to ensure that you feel comfortable while pushing the stroller. You'll need to modify the footrest so that it fits your child's growing feet.

A travel system with a bassinet is ideal for infants and newborns. The Mompush Meteor 2 in 1 car seat stroller is an ideal choice since it quickly transforms into a comfortable bassinet and an actual seat, meaning you don't have to switch out your baby's car seat and stroller as they develop.
