Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use

The car seat and pram 2 in 1 Seat Buggy 2 in 1 travel system pram in 1, incorporates two of the most essential baby items: the infant car seats and strollers. It makes hopping off and on public transport (and walking up and down stairs) much more convenient.

Doona's infant car seat and stroller combination is a fantastic choice. It's the world's first completely integrated travel system that lets you to switch between your car seat and stroller in seconds without disturbing your baby.

Easy to Use

Car seat and stroller combos that are simple to use are essential for parents. These travel systems make it easy to switch between running errands, walking the dog, or going for an exercise. You can also keep track of the changing needs of your child so you can take your family on 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 especially maneuverable however, the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be moved easily using just one hand.

Some models are difficult to attach or remove from the base, however. The Doona Combo requires a two step process for attachment, as well as straps that cover the bottom portion of the infant carrier. It is tempting to skip these steps, however this could lead to dangerous results.

Certain models are also more difficult to fold and store than others, which makes them less convenient. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold because of its large dimensions and bulky frames. It also has a tiny canopy that some test users find to be disappointing. On the other hand, the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is easy to fold with a pull of an lever and the push of the button. This model is also a good choice for parents who intend on using their car seats on other vehicles because it is able to be easily removed from the base and attached to any stroller that is standard.

Easy to Fold

If you're storing your car seat on its own, in the trunk of your vehicle or even in the closet, it should be easy to fold and unfold. The best combinations we've tested come with an easy fold that's one-handed and sturdy enough to use for long walks. They're also easy to maneuver, moving smoothly over bumps and uneven surfaces. Some combos can only be connected and removed using straps. This may seem like a step in the back and could make it difficult for parents to secure their child's car seat correctly.

We love the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo due to its practical features and sturdy construction that include a huge storage basket that's accessible from the front to back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to achieve a secure car seat installation by connecting the lower anchors by pulling the straps tightly and clicking the carrier into the base.

It's also fairly light, making it a great option for frequent travellers or families with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT pushchair pram 2 in 1 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored very well in our tests of user-friendliness. Both have a single wheel that is easy to push with just one hand. Both have a single front wheel which is easy to push (one-handed!). They also have a movable swivel wheel, perfect for running errands and shopping. The only issue is that they're quite heavy and may be difficult to lift up when carrying a baby in the car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Certain car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the most simple travel systems to assemble. It even comes with a helpful guide. Other models, like the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule urban Glide 2 in 1 Pushchair pram and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also relatively easy to put together. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, on the other hand isn't easy to put together. It requires two steps to attach the lower anchors as well as using straps that protect the bottom of the carrier. It's also very heavy, which means it requires two hands to secure the carrier into the base and then remove it from the base.

In our tests, it took about 5 minutes to put together the UPPAbaby Cruz. This is a quick process when you consider the time saved by not having to remove all the pieces. The toddler seat can be slid into and detached easily on most of these models.
