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 essential baby items: infant car seats and strollers. It makes hopping on and off public transport (and walking up and down the stairs) much more convenient.
Doona's infant car seat and stroller combo is a great option. It's the world's first completely integrated travel system that lets you to switch between your car seat and stroller in seconds without disturbing your sleeping baby.
Simple to use
Parents must have a stroller and car seat combination that is easy to use. These systems allow you to effortlessly switch between running errands or walking the dog before going for an exercise. They also help you keep up with your little one's changing needs so that you can focus on enjoying your family's adventures. Our testers love the ease and speed with which these travel systems glide, whether they have a single front wheel or a swiveling front wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are simple to move. But even the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo can be pushed by one hand.
Certain models are difficult to attach or remove from the base, however. The Doona Combo, for example, requires a two-step attachment process and straps that go over the infant's bottom part. It's tempting to skip these steps however it could result in dangerous results.
Some models are more difficult to fold and store than others, making them less practical. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is hard to fold due to its huge dimensions and bulky frame. Some testers also find the canopy of this model to be unsatisfactory. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is simple to fold, with only one button and a pull of the lever. review is a great choice for parents who want to use their car seat in other cars, since it is able to be removed from the base.
Easy to Fold
Whether you're storing the car seat on its own, in the trunk of your vehicle or even in the closet, it should be easy to fold and unfold. The best combinations we've tested feature an easy, one-handed fold that's compact and durable enough to be used for 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 may seem like a step in the back, and can make it difficult for parents to secure their car seat correctly.
We are awestruck by the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo for its handy features and sturdy build, which includes a large storage basket that is accessible from the front to back. SafeCenter LATCH, a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo allows you to install a car seat by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tight.
It's also fairly light which makes it a great choice for frequent travelers or families with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored highly in our tests of ease-of-use. Both have a single wheel that is simple to push with one hand. Both have a single front wheel which is easy to push (one-handed!). They also have a movable swing wheel, which is ideal for shopping and running errands. The only issue is that they're heavy and are difficult to lift when carrying a baby in the 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 most simple travel systems to assemble. It even 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 simple to assemble. 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 also very heavy, which means it takes two hands to secure the carrier into the base, then detach it from there.
In our tests, it took us about 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 together. This is relatively rapid when you consider the amount of time is saved by not having to remove all of the individual pieces. The majority of these models have a simple process for attaching and detaching the toddler seat, as well.
