Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
Car seat buggy 2 in 1 combines the two most essential baby equipment pieces including the infant car seat and the stroller. It makes it easier to take public transport (and walk up and down the stairs).
Doona's infant car seat and stroller combination is a great choice. It's the first integrated travel system that lets you to switch between your car seat and stroller in a matter of seconds without disturbing your sleepy baby.
Simple to use
Car seat and stroller combos that are easy to use are a must for parents. These travel systems make it simple to switch between running errands or walking the dog, or going for a jog. You can also keep up with the changing needs of your child, so you can enjoy your family adventures. These travel systems move smoothly and easily, whether they have one front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are incredibly maneuverable, but 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 detach from the base, but. The Doona Combo, for example requires a two-step attachment process and straps that go over the infant carrier's bottom portion. It may be tempting to bypass these steps, but this could lead to unsafe outcomes.
In the same way some models are hard to fold and put away making them less practical than other. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is hard to fold due to its massive dimensions and bulky frame. This model also has a small canopy that some test users find disappointing. On the other hand the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is easy to fold using pulling the lever and a click of the button. It is also a great option for parents who plan to use their car seat on vehicles of other people because it is able to be easily removed from the base and reattached to any standard stroller.
Easy to Fold
It should be simple to unfold and fold the car seat, regardless of whether you're storing it inside your trunk, or in a closet. The best combinations we've tested feature an easy one-handed fold that is compact and strong enough to be used for long walks. They're also easy to maneuver, gliding smoothly over bumps and uneven surfaces. Some combos can only be attached and detached by straps. This can feel like a second step and make it more difficult for parents to secure their child's car seat correctly.
The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is an excellent choice due to its robust construction and convenient features, including a large storage bin that is accessible from the back or front. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to ensure a secure car seat installation by simply connecting the lower anchors by pulling the straps tightly and then putting the carrier in the base.
It's also quite light and compact, making it an excellent choice for frequent travelers or families with multiple vehicles. Both the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo, and the Thule Urban Glide 2 scored highly in our user-friendliness tests. Related Homepag come with 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 swivel wheel, perfect for shopping and running errands. The only drawback is that they're very heavy and it can be tricky to lift them up when you're carrying a child in a car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some stroller and car seat combinations can be difficult to assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the simplest travel systems to assemble. It even 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 easy to assemble. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo however is a bit difficult to put together. It requires two steps connecting the lower anchors and using straps to protect the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy, so it takes two people to snap the carrier into the base, and then remove it.
In our tests we took about 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby v2 together, which is relatively fast when you consider the amount of time it can save by not having to remove each piece. The toddler seat can be attached and removed with ease on most of these models.
