Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
The Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1, incorporates two of the most crucial baby items: infant car seats and strollers. It makes it much easier to get on and off public transportation (and walk up and down stairs).
One of the best options for this is the Doona infant car seat & stroller combo. It's the first fully integrated travel system in the world that allows you to switch from the car seat to the stroller without disturbing your baby.
Simple to Use
Car seat and stroller combos that are easy to use are essential for parents. These systems let you easily switch between running errands or walking the dog and going for an exercise. They also help you keep up with your child's changing needs, so you can focus on enjoying your family's adventures. These travel systems glide smoothly and easily, whether they have one front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are incredibly maneuverable, but even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pulled easily using just one hand.
Some models can be difficult to remove or attach from the base. The Doona Combo requires a two step attachment process, and straps that cover the bottom portion of the infant carrier. It's tempting to skip these steps but it could result in unsafe results.
Additionally, some models are difficult to fold away and store, which makes them less practical than other. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold due to its huge dimensions and bulky frames. Some reviewers are also disappointed by the canopy on this model disappointing. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is simple to fold down with a push of a button and a pull of the lever. two in one pram is also a great option for parents who intend on using their car seats on other people's vehicles, since it can be removed from the base and reattached to any standard stroller.
Easy to Fold
It should be simple to fold and unfold the car seat, no matter if you're storing it in your trunk, or in a closet. The most effective combinations we've tested come with simple one-handed fold that is compact and sturdy enough to use for long walks. They're also easy to maneuver, moving smoothly over uneven surfaces and bumps. Some combos can only be connected and removed using straps. This can be a bit like a second step, and can make it harder for parents to secure their car seat properly.
The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is an excellent choice due to its robust construction and convenient features, including a huge storage bin that can be accessed from either the front or back. SafeCenter LATCH, a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo makes it simple to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and securing the straps.
It's also relatively lightweight and compact, making it an excellent option for frequent travelers or families with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored highly in our tests of user-friendliness. Both come with a single wheel that is simple to push with one hand. Both have one front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a versatile swivel wheel, perfect for shopping or running errands. The only downside is that they're very heavy, so it can be difficult 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 assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the simplest travel systems to put together. 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 relatively simple to assemble. Contrary to that, the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps to assemble - attaching the lower anchors, and using straps that are placed over the bottom portion of the carrier. It's heavy so it takes two people to secure the carrier into the base, and then remove it.
In our tests, we took just 5 minutes to put together the UPPAbaby Cruz. This is a quick procedure when you consider the time saved by not having to take out all the pieces. 2 in 1 prams can be attached and detached easily on most of these models.
