Our testers love how smoothly and conveniently these travel systems move, regardless of 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 maneuverable however, 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 difficult to attach or remove from the base. The Doona Combo requires a two step process of attachment, and straps that cover the bottom of the infant carrier. It's tempting to skip these steps, however this could lead to unsafe outcomes.
In the same way some models are hard to fold away and store and store away, making them less convenient than others. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold due its massive dimensions and bulky frames. Some testers are also disappointed by the canopy on this model to be disappointing. 2 in 1 prams and Go is simple to fold down with one button and pulling the lever. This model is a great option for parents who wish to use their car seat in the other vehicles, since it can be easily removed from the base.
Easy to Fold
It should be simple to unfold and fold the car seat, whether you're storing it inside your trunk, or in the closet. The most effective combinations we've tested have a simple fold that's one-handed and strong enough to be used on long strolls. They are also easy to maneuver and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. We've seen a few combinations that can only be connected or disengaged using straps which could feel like an extra step and make it harder for parents to secure the car seat properly.
The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a fantastic choice for its sturdy construction and practical features, including a huge storage bin that can be accessed from either the front or back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to ensure a secure car seat installation simply by connecting the lower anchors, pulling the straps tight and then putting the carrier in the base.
It's also light which makes it a great option for families or frequent travelers with multiple vehicles.

Both have a single wheel that is simple to push with one hand. ) and an swivel front wheel that can be swiveled that's perfect for shopping or running around. The only drawback is that they're quite heavy and therefore it can be tricky to lift them up when you're carrying children in the car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the simplest travel systems to put together. It includes a helpful guide. 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 easy to put together. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo however, is difficult to assemble. It requires two steps connecting the lower anchors and using straps to cover the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy so it takes two people to snap the carrier in the base, and then detach it.
In our tests, we took about 5 minutes to put together the UPPAbaby Cruz v2. This is a simple process when you consider the time saved by not having to take out all the pieces. The majority of these models have an easy process for attaching and detaching the toddler seat, as well.
