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 getting on and off public transport (and walking up and down the stairs) much more convenient.

Doona's infant car seat and pram stroller 2 in 1 combo is a fantastic choice. It's the world's first completely integrated travel system that allows you to switch between your car seat and stroller in seconds without disturbing your sleeping 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 your dog and going for an exercise. You can also keep up with the changing needs of your child so you can take your family on adventures. These travel systems move smoothly and easily, regardless of whether they feature one front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo, the BOB Alterrain pro combo, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are easy to maneuver. However, even the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 in 1 travel system Combo can be moved by one hand.

Certain models are difficult to attach or remove from the base, however. The Doona Combo, for example requires a two-step attachment process and straps that go over the infant carrier's bottom portion. It is tempting to bypass these steps, but this could result in dangerous results.

Similarly some models are hard to fold and put away, which makes them less convenient than others. 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 that some test users find disappointing. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is simple to fold with just the push of a button and pulling the lever. This model is a fantastic choice for parents who want to use their car seat in the other vehicles, since it can be easily removed from the base.

Easy to Fold

If you're storing your car seat on its own, in the trunk of your car or even in the closet, it should be simple to fold and unfold. The best 2 in-1 prams combos we've tested feature a simple, one-handed fold that's compact and strong enough to be used for long walks. They are also easy to move and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. Some combos are connected and removed using straps. This may be a bit like a second step and could make it difficult for parents to secure their child's car seat properly.

We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo for its convenient features and sturdy build, that include a huge storage basket that can be accessed from the front to back. SafeCenter LATCH, an exclusive feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo makes it simple to install a car seat by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tightly.

It's also quite light which makes it a great choice for frequent travelers or families with multiple vehicles. Both the Baby Jogger City Mini GT pushchair 2 in 1 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 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 one front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a flexible swing wheel, which is ideal for shopping and running errands. The only downside is that they're quite heavy, so it's difficult to lift them up when carrying a child in the car seat.

Easy to Assemble

Some stroller and car seat combos can be difficult to assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the most simple travel systems to assemble. It even includes a helpful guide. Other models we tested such as the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule Urban Glide pram 2 in 1 uk and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also relatively simple to put together. 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 go over the bottom of the carrier. It's also heavy, and it takes two hands to click the carrier into the base, then detach it from there.

In our tests, it took just 5 minutes to put together the UPPAbaby Cruz v2. This is a easy process when you consider the time saved by not having to take out all the pieces. Most of these models have an easy method of attaching and detaching the toddler's seat, but there are other options as well.
