Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
Car seat buggy 2 in 1 blends the two most essential baby equipment pieces including the infant car seat and the stroller. It makes it so much easier to get on and off public transport (and walk up and down stairs).
One of the best options for this is the Doona infant car seat and stroller combination. It's the only fully integrated travel system in the world that lets you switch from the car seat to the stroller without disturbing your baby.
Easy to Use
Car seat and stroller combinations that are simple to use are a must for parents. These systems allow you to switch between running errands, walking your dog, or taking an exercise. 2 in 1 infant car seat and stroller can also keep track of the changing needs of your child so you can enjoy your family adventures. Our testers are impressed by how easily and smoothly these travel systems glide, whether they have a single front wheel or a swiveling front wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo as well as the BOB Alterrain pro combo, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are simple to maneuver. But even the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo can be pulled by one hand.
Certain models are difficult to remove or attach from the base. The Doona Combo, for example requires a two-step attach process and straps that go over the infant's bottom part. It's tempting to skip the steps, but it could lead to dangerous outcomes.
Some models are more difficult to fold and store than others, which makes them less convenient. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is hard to fold due to its huge dimensions and bulky frame. The model also has a small canopy that some test users are disappointed with. However, the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is very easy to fold with pulling the lever and a click of an button. This model is an excellent option for parents who wish to use their car seat in other people's cars, since it can be easily detached from the base.
Easy to Fold
It should be simple to fold and unfold the car seat, no matter if you are storing it in your trunk or a closet. The most effective combinations we've tested fold easily with one hand and are sturdy enough to be used on long walks. They're also easy to maneuver and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. We've seen a few combinations that can only be attached or disengaged using straps which can feel like an extra step and make it difficult 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 which include a large storage basket that can be accessed from the front to the back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it simple to achieve a secure car seat installation by simply connecting the lower anchors, pulling the straps tight and then pressing the carrier into the base.
It's also fairly light and compact, making it an excellent option for frequent travellers 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 ease-of-use tests. Both come with 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 come with a flexible swing wheel, which is ideal for shopping and running errands. The only drawback is that they're heavy and therefore it can be difficult to lift them up when carrying a child in a car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some stroller and car seat combinations are difficult to put together. We discovered that the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo was one of the easiest to put together, and it even includes a handy quick-start guide that makes putting this travel system together a breeze. 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. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, on the other hand is a bit difficult to put together. It requires two steps to attach the lower anchors as well as using straps to cover the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy, which means it requires two people to click the carrier into the base, and then remove it.
In our tests, it took around 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby v2 Cruz. This is a simple procedure when you consider the time saved by not having to take out each piece. The majority of these models have a simple process for attaching and removing the toddler seat, but there are other options as well.
