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 crucial baby items: the strollers and infant car seats. It makes it so 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 in the world that allows you to switch from the car seat to the stroller without causing any disruption to your baby.
Easy to Use
Car seat and stroller combos that are simple to use are essential for parents. These systems make it simple to switch between running errands, walking the dog, or taking a run. You can also adapt to the ever-changing needs of your child, so you can take your family on adventures. Our testers are impressed by the ease and speed with which these travel systems glide whether they have one front wheel or a swiveling rear wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are all easy to maneuver. However, even the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo can be pushed by one hand.
Some models are difficult to attach or remove from the base. The Doona Combo requires a two step process for attachment, as well as straps which cover the bottom of the infant carrier. It's tempting to skip these steps however it could result in unsafe outcomes.
Some models are also more difficult to fold or store than others, which makes them less practical. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is difficult to fold due to its huge dimensions and bulky frame. Some users also find the canopy on this model to be disappointing. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is simple to fold with just a push of a button and pulling the lever. This model is a great option for parents who wish to use their car seat in other cars, as it can be easily removed from the base.
Easy to Fold
If you're storing your car seat on its own or in the trunk of your car or even in a closet, it must be easy to fold and unfold. The most efficient combinations we've tried fold easily with one hand and are durable enough to be used on long walks. They're also simple to move, sliding smoothly over uneven surfaces and bumps. We've seen some combinations that can only be connected or removed using straps, which could be a hassle 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 convenient features, including a huge storage bin that is accessible from the front or back. 2in1 pram , a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, makes it easy to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and securing the straps.
It's also quite light, making it a great option for frequent travellers or families with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored well in our ease-of-use tests. Both have one wheel that's easy to push with one hand. Both have one front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed!). They also come with a versatile swing wheel, which is ideal for running errands and shopping. The only drawback is that they're very heavy and it can be difficult to lift them up when you're carrying a child in the car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the easiest travel systems to assemble. It even includes a helpful guide. Other models we tried like the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule Urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal, were also fairly easy to assemble. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo however isn't easy to put together. It requires two steps: attaching the lower anchors, and using straps that protect the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy so it takes two people to click the carrier into the base, and then detach it.
In our tests, we took about 5 minutes to put together the UPPAbaby v2 Cruz. This is a relatively simple process when you consider the time saved by not having to take out each piece. The majority of these models have an easy process for attaching and removing the toddler seat, but there are other options as well.
