Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
The Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 incorporates two of the most important baby items: infant car seats and strollers. It makes getting on and off public transportation (and walking up and down the stairs) so much easier.
Doona's infant car seat and stroller combination is a fantastic choice. It's the first integrated travel system that allows you to change from the car seat to the stroller without causing any disruption to your baby.
Simple to use
Car seat and stroller combos that are easy to use are a must for parents. These systems let you easily change between running errands, or walking your dog and going for an outing. They also assist you in keeping up with your child's changing needs, so that you can focus on enjoying your family adventures. These travel systems move smoothly and effortlessly, whether they have one front wheel or two. 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 moved by one hand.
Certain 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 portion of the infant carrier. It may be tempting to skip these steps, but this could lead to dangerous results.
Additionally some models are hard to fold away and store and store away, making them less convenient than others. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for example, is difficult to fold due to its huge dimensions and heavy frame. The model also has a small canopy that some test users find disappointing. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is easy to fold, with only one button and a pull of the lever. It is also a good choice for parents who intend on using their car seat on other people's vehicles, since it is able to be easily removed from the base and reattached to any standard stroller.
Easy to Fold
If you're storing your car seat on its own or in the trunk of your vehicle or even in a closet, it must be easy to fold and unfold. The best combinations we've tested fold easily with one hand and are strong enough to be used on long walks. They are also easy to move and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. We've seen some combos that can only be connected or disengaged using straps which may feel like an extra step and make it harder for parents to secure the car seat correctly.
2 in 1 infant car seat and stroller are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo for its handy features and sturdy construction, which include a large storage basket that is accessible from the front to the back. SafeCenter LATCH, a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo makes it simple to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tightly.
It's also fairly light which makes it a great choice for families or frequent travellers with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored very well in our ease-of-use tests. Both have one front wheel that's easy to push (one-handed! ), as well as a versatile swivel front wheel that's ideal for shopping or running the errands. The only drawback is that they're heavy and therefore it's difficult to lift them up when carrying children in the car seat.
Easy to Assemble
2 in 1 carrycot and pushchair and stroller combinations can be difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the most simple travel systems to assemble. 2 in 1 carrycot and pushchair comes with 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, on the other hand isn't easy to put together. It requires two steps connecting the lower anchors and using straps that cover the bottom of the carrier. It's also heavy, so it requires two hands to secure the carrier into the base, then detach it from the base.
In our tests, it took around 5 minutes to put together the UPPAbaby Cruz. This is a simple process when you take into account the time saved from not having to rip out each piece. The toddler seat can be slid into and removed easily on the majority of these models.
