Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
The Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 incorporates two of the most important baby items: strollers and infant car seats. It makes getting on and off public transport (and climbing and descending the stairs) much easier.
Doona's infant car seat and stroller combo is a great choice. pram 2 in 1 's the first integrated travel system that allows you to switch from the car seat to the stroller without causing any disruption to your baby.
Simple to Use
Parents must have a car seat and stroller combination that is easy to use. These systems make it simple to switch between running errands or walking the dog, or taking an exercise. You can also adapt to the ever-changing needs of your child so you can have fun with your family adventures. These travel systems move smoothly and effortlessly, regardless of whether they have a front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are especially maneuverable, but even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pushed easily using just one hand.
Certain models are difficult to attach or detach from the base, however. The Doona Combo, for example requires a two-step attach procedure and straps that are placed over the infant carrier's bottom portion. It's tempting to bypass these steps, but this could lead to dangerous results.
Additionally, some models are difficult to fold and store away, which makes them less practical than other. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is difficult to fold due to its large dimensions and heavy frame. This model also has a small canopy, which some users find disappointing. However, the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is very simple to fold with just the pull of an lever and the push of the button. It is also a great choice for parents who are planning on using their car seats on other people's vehicles as it is able to be easily removed from the base and then attached to any standard stroller.
Easy to Fold
It should be easy to fold and unfold the car seat, no matter if you're storing it inside your trunk or the closet. The most efficient combinations we've tried fold easily with one hand and are sturdy enough to be used on long walks. two in one pram are also easy to maneuver and glide effortlessly over uneven surfaces. Some combos can only be linked and disengaged by straps. This could be a bit like a second step, and can make it harder for parents to secure their child's car seat correctly.
We love the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo for its convenient features and sturdy build, which includes a large storage basket that's accessible from the front to the 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 pulling the straps tight.
It's also fairly light, making it an excellent 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 have one front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed! Both have a single front wheel which is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a versatile spinner wheel, ideal for shopping and running errands. The only drawback is that they're heavy and therefore it can be tricky to lift them up when carrying a child in a car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to assemble. We discovered that the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo was one of the most simple to build, and it even includes a handy quick-start guide that makes putting this system together a breeze. Other models we looked at like the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista V2 Thule Urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal, were also fairly easy to put together. However the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to put together as it requires two steps to assemble - attaching the lower anchors and using straps that go over the bottom portion of the carrier. It's also heavy, so it takes two hands to secure the carrier into the base and detach it from the base.
In our tests we took about 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 together, which is a bit rapid when you consider the time is saved by not having to take out all of the individual pieces. The majority of these models have an easy method of attaching and detaching the toddler's seat, but there are other options as well.
