Editor-tested travel systems let you transport your newborn in a smooth and seamless way from the car to the stroller without disturbing them. Some travel systems come with an infant carrycot to help encourage natural sleep.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system includes an infant car seat as well as a stroller that snap together. It's a great option for parents and caregivers who often run errands while with their infant, or take their little one out on public transportation or rideshares. "You'll have less gear to manage," explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. "And it's perfect for families that alternate between carpooling with other moms or using public transit."

It's a rear facing car seat that converts into a jogging stroller that rolls in just a few seconds. The wheels fold underneath and the Doona is compact when not in use. The Doona can also be attached to a car's backseat using the LATCH base that is rigid, or to taxi-safety belt paths. This makes it a great choice for urban families.

The Mamas and Papas pramette is another great car seat/stroller combination. It comes with an infant pram 2 in 1 uk with a hood that can be opened and a front seat that can be lowered so that your child can lie down for naps or feedings. It comes with a big basket, cup holders and a sun shade to store your baby's essentials. The stroller seat is a multi-position reclining seat and can recline to a flat position, so baby is comfy for every ride.

The weight and height limits are also important. Also, consider whether the car seat for infants can be used only with a backseat belt, or in the event that it comes with a strong LATCH system integrated into. Also look for a lock on the handle to keep it secure and the ability to tilt the handle towards the back of the seatback to make an anti-rebound bar.

Travel systems are only compatible with infant car seats. Extended-use car seats which can be turned forward later, are not able to snap into strollers. For this reason, many moms opt to get a separate car seat and stroller when their baby pushchair 2 in 1 grows out of the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for the new parents. Some travel systems include a baby stroller that can be converted into a comfortable carrycot for infants. This is ideal for parents who do not want to disturb their newborn while traveling. Certain brands also provide the option of a car seat and stroller combo that can be clicked together. This lets you keep your child in the car seat and then transfer them to a stroller without disturbing them.

A quality stroller must include plenty of features to make it convenient and user-friendly. It should have a large basket that can store essentials like nappies as well as snacks, toys and other items. It should also be in a position to recline to provide your baby a restful and comfortable sleep. It should also include an adequate canopy to shield your baby from sun's rays and a lockable for the front wheel for added safety. Lastly, it should be lightweight and compact enough to store it in storage or for transporting to and from the car.

Travel system strollers that have been tested by editors, for instance the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo and Chicco Keyfit Caddy, offer convenience as they can be connected to a variety of top car seats. The car seats snap onto the frame to be connected and folded quickly. Some have one wheel on each leg, making them easier to maneuver and roll over different surfaces.

Ideally, a stroller should be able to endure through toddlerhood - and beyond if you require it to continue to transport your child to and from school or to play dates, activities and so on. This is why you should look for a model that features an open-air seat that faces the world (and reclines) once your baby outgrows the car seat.

If you are planning to use your 2-in-1 travel system on public transportation, look for models that have an ISOFIX base to ensure that it is safe to get on and off buses or trains. Some models, such as the Doona can also be mounted on trains and planes to make traveling with a child more convenient.
