Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
Car seat buggy 2 in 1 combines the two most important baby equipment pieces including the infant car seat and stroller. It makes it so much easier to get on and off public transportation (and walk up and down the stairs).
Doona's infant car seat and stroller combination is a great choice. 2 in 1 pram 's the first integrated travel system that lets you switch from the car seat to the stroller without causing any disruption to your baby.
Easy to Use
2 in 1 prams and stroller combinations that are simple to use are essential for parents. These systems allow you to easily switch between running errands walking the dog and going for a run. You can also keep track of the ever-changing needs of your child, so you can enjoy your family adventures. Our testers are impressed by the ease and speed with which these travel systems glide, whether they have only one front wheel or a swiveling rear wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are especially easy to move and even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be moved easily with a single hand.
Certain models are difficult to attach or remove from the base, however. The Doona Combo requires a two step attachment process, and straps that cover the bottom of the infant carrier. It's tempting to skip these steps but it could lead to dangerous outcomes.
In the same way, some models are difficult to fold away and store making them less convenient than others. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold because of its large dimensions and bulky frames. This model 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 very simple to fold with just the pull of an lever and the push of a button. This model is a fantastic option for parents who wish to use their car seat in other vehicles, since it is able to be removed from the base.
Easy to Fold
It should be easy to fold and unfold the car seat, whether you are storing it in your trunk or a closet. The most efficient combinations we've tried fold easily with just one hand and are sturdy enough to withstand long walks. They're also easy to maneuver, gliding effortlessly over uneven surfaces and bumps. Certain combos are only attached and detached by straps. This can be a bit like a second step and make it difficult for parents to secure their car seat properly.
We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo due to its practical features and sturdy construction, which includes a large storage basket that can be accessed from front to back. SafeCenter LATCH, an exclusive feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, makes it easy to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tightly.
It's also relatively lightweight which makes it a great option for frequent travellers or families with multiple vehicles. Both the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo, and the Thule Urban Glide 2 scored very well in our ease of use tests. Both have one front wheel that's easy to push (one-handed! Both have one front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a versatile spinner wheel, ideal for shopping and running errands. The only downside is that they're quite heavy and are difficult to lift when carrying a baby in a car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some stroller and car seat combos can be difficult to assemble. We discovered that the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo was one of the easiest to put together. It even comes with a quick-start guide that makes putting this travel system together an easy task. Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also easy to put together. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo however is a bit difficult to put together. It requires two steps: attaching the lower anchors as well as using straps to cover the bottom of the carrier. It's also very heavy, which means it requires two hands to secure the carrier into the base, then detach it from the base.
In our tests, it took about 5 minutes to put together the UPPAbaby Cruz. It's a fairly easy process when you take into account the time saved by not having to take out all the individual pieces. The majority of these models have an easy process for attaching and removing the toddler seat, as well.
