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

Car seat buggy 2 in 1 blends the two most important pieces of baby gear including the infant car seat and stroller. It makes it easier to take public transport (and walk up and down the stairs).

One of the most effective options is the Doona infant car seat and stroller combination. 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

Parents must have a stroller and car seat combination that is easy to use. These travel systems let you easily switch between running errands or walking the dog before going for an exercise. They also help you keep up with your little one's changing needs, so that you can concentrate on your family's adventures. Our test subjects are awed by how smoothly and conveniently these travel systems glide whether they have only one front wheel or a swiveling front wheel. The Thule Urban Glide best 2 in 1 pram Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are incredibly easy to maneuver however, the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pulled easily with a single hand.

Certain models are difficult to attach or detach 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's tempting to skip these steps, however this could result in dangerous results.

In the same way certain models are difficult to fold and put away, which makes them less practical than other. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold because of its large dimensions and heavy frames. It also has a tiny canopy, which some users find to be disappointing. On the other hand the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is very easy to fold using a pull of an lever and the push of the button. This model is an excellent choice for parents who want to use their car seat in other cars, as it can be easily detached from the base.

Easy to Fold

It should be easy to unfold and fold the car seat, no matter if you're storing it in your trunk, or in a closet. The most efficient combinations we've tried fold easily with just one hand and are strong enough to be used on long walks. They are also easy to move and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. Certain combos are only attached and detached by straps. This could feel like a second step and could make it more difficult for parents to secure their child's car seat correctly.

The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is an excellent option due to its sturdy construction and convenient features, including a huge storage bin that can be accessed from the front or back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to secure a car seat installation simply by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tight and clicking the carrier into the base.

It's also light and compact, making it a great choice for families or frequent travelers with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored highly in our ease-of-use tests. Both come with a single front wheel that's simple to push (one-handed! Both have one front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a flexible swivel wheel, perfect for running errands and shopping. The only downside is that they're quite heavy, so it can be difficult to lift them up when you're carrying a child in the car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Certain car seat and stroller combinations are difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the most simple travel systems to assemble. It includes a helpful guide. Other models we tested such as the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule Urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal, were also fairly easy to assemble. In contrast the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to put together because it requires two steps - attaching the lower anchors, and using straps that go over the bottom of the carrier. It's also very heavy, which means it requires two hands to click the carrier into the base and detach it from the base.

In our tests, we took about 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby Cruz. This is a quick procedure 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 a simple process for attaching and detaching the toddler seat, but there are other options as well.
