Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 - Combos That Are Easy to Use
The Car Seat Buggy 2 in 1 combines two of the most essential baby items: the strollers and infant car seats. It makes getting on and off public transportation (and walking up and down the stairs) much easier.
Doona's infant car seat and stroller combination is a great option. It's the only fully integrated travel system that lets you switch from the car seat to the stroller without causing any disruption to your baby.
Easy to Use
Parents should have a car seat and stroller combination that is easy to use. These travel systems allow you to switch between running errands or walking the dog, or taking a jog. They also assist you in keeping up with your child's changing needs, so you can concentrate on your family's adventures. These travel systems glide smoothly and easily, regardless of whether they have a front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are especially easy to maneuver and 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 remove or attach from the base. The Doona Combo, for example requires a two-step attachment process and straps that slide over the infant carrier's bottom part. It's tempting to skip these steps, but it could result in dangerous outcomes.
In the same way certain models are difficult to fold and put away, which makes them less practical than other. Graco FastAction 3 in 1 Car Seat Stroller is difficult to fold due to its large dimensions and bulky frames. The model also has a small canopy, which some testers are disappointed with. However, the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is easy to fold with the pull of an lever and the push of a button. This model is a fantastic option for parents who wish to use their car seat in other people's cars, as it is able to be removed from the base.
Easy to Fold
It doesn't matter if you're keeping the car seat on its own or in the trunk of your car or even in the closet, it should be easy to fold and unfold. The most effective combinations we've tested fold easily with one hand and are sturdy enough to withstand long walks. They're also easy to maneuver, moving effortlessly over uneven surfaces and bumps. Some combos can only be attached and detached by straps. This could seem like a step in the back, and can make it difficult for parents to secure their child's car seat correctly.
The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a great option due to its sturdy construction and practical features, including a large storage bin that can be accessed from either the front or back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to secure a car seat installation simply by connecting the lower anchors, pulling the straps tight and then putting the carrier in the base.
It's also fairly light, making it an excellent choice for families or frequent travelers who have multiple vehicles. Both the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo, and the Thule Urban Glide 2 scored very well in our user-friendliness tests. Both have one front wheel that's easy to push (one-handed! ), as well as a swivel wheel with a variety of angles that's perfect for shopping or running the errands. The only drawback is that they're very heavy and it's difficult to lift them up when you're carrying a child in a car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Certain car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the most simple travel systems to put together. It includes a helpful guide. Other models, such as the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also simple to assemble. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo however isn't easy to put together. pushchairsandprams requires two steps to attach the lower anchors and using straps that protect the bottom of the carrier. It's also heavy, so it requires two hands to secure the carrier into the base and detach it from there.
In our tests, we took around 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby Cruz v2. It's a fairly quick procedure when you take into account the time saved by not having to take out all the pieces. The toddler seat can be slid into and detached easily on most of these models.
