Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
The Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1, is a combination of two of the most essential baby items: infant car seats and strollers. It makes it much easier to take public transportation (and walk up and down the stairs).
One of the best options is the Doona infant car seat and stroller combination. It's the first integrated travel system that lets you to switch between the car seat and stroller in a matter of seconds without disturbing your baby.
Simple to Use
Car seat and stroller combos that are easy to use are essential for parents. These systems allow you to effortlessly switch between running errands walking the dog and going for a run. You can also keep up with the ever-changing needs of your child, so you can take your family on adventures. These travel systems glide effortlessly and smoothly, regardless of whether they have one front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are incredibly easy to move, but even the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pushed easily with a single hand.
Some models are hard to attach or detach from the base, however. The Doona Combo requires a two step attachment process, and straps which cover the bottom of the infant carrier. It is tempting to skip these steps, however this could lead to dangerous results.
In the same way some models are hard to fold and put away and store away, making them less practical than other. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold because of its massive dimensions and heavy frames. It also has a small canopy that some test users find disappointing. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is easy to fold, with only the push of a button and a pull of the lever. It is also a great option for parents who intend on using their car seat on other vehicles as it can be removed from the base and attached to any standard stroller.
Easy to Fold
It doesn't matter if you're keeping the car seat on its own, in the trunk of your car or even in a closet, it should be simple to fold and unfold. The best combinations we've tested fold easily in one hand and are strong enough to use on long walks. They are also easy to maneuver and glide effortlessly over uneven surfaces. Certain combos are only attached and detached by straps. This can be a bit like a second step, and can make it more difficult for parents to secure their child's car seat properly.
The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a great choice for its sturdy construction and practical features, including a large storage bin that is accessible from the back or front. SafeCenter LATCH, an exclusive feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo allows you to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and securing the straps.
It is also relatively light and compact, making it a great choice for families or frequent travelers with multiple vehicles. Both the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo, and the Thule Urban Glide 2 scored highly in our ease of use tests. Both come with a single front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed! Both have a single front wheel which is easy to push (one-handed!). They also have a movable swing wheel, which is ideal for running errands and shopping. The only drawback is that they're heavy, so it can be tricky to lift them up when carrying children in the car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some car seat and stroller combinations can be 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 which makes putting this system together easy. Other models, including the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also relatively easy to put together. Contrary to that, 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 are placed over the bottom portion of the carrier. It's also heavy, so it requires two hands to click the carrier into the base and then remove it from there.
In our tests it took us around 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby v2 together. This is a bit rapid when you consider the time it saves by not having to take out the pieces. two in one pram of these models have an easy method of attaching and detaching the toddler seat, but there are other options as well.
