14 Cartoons On 2 In 1 Travel System That'll Brighten Your Day
A 2 in 1 Travel System
A car seat and stroller combination is the best option for anyone who wants to travel easily or create a modern version of a pram. Make sure to check the specifications to ensure that your car seat and stroller are compatible, or you can consider buying an adaptor.
Travel systems that have been tested by editors allow you to transfer your baby who is sleeping in the car to a stroller without disturbing them. Some include a carrycot that allows for a natural sleep.
Car Seat
A two-in-one travel system that includes an infant car seat and stroller that snaps together. It's a convenient option for caregivers and parents who often run errands while with their infant or take their little one out on public transportation or rideshares. "You have less gear to deal with," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's perfect for families who alternate between carpooling with other moms or using public transportation."
Doona infant car seats and latch bases are a popular option, with 90 percent of Amazon reviews rating it five stars. It's a rear-facing vehicle seat that drops down into a stroller that rolls. 2 in 1 pram is quick and easy. When not in use the wheels can be folded away and it is small. 2 in 1 pram stroller can also be connected to a car's backseat using the rigid LATCH base, or to taxi safety belts. This makes it perfect for city families.
The Mamas and Papas Pramette is a top car seat/stroller combination, featuring the pram having an hood and a front seats that open to let you lay your child down for naps or for feedings. It comes with a large basket, cup holders and a basket for everything your baby needs as well as a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat features a multi-position reclining seat and can recline to a flat, so your baby is comfortable for every ride.
The weight and height limits are also important. Also, consider whether the infant car seat can be used only with a belt for the back seat or in the event that it comes with a strong LATCH system integrated into. Look for a handle lock to secure the handle in the right place. You can also tilt the handle towards the rear seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.
Travel systems only work for infant car seats. Extended-use car seats, which can be turned forward later, cannot be converted into strollers. Many moms choose to buy a separate stroller and car seat when their child is no longer in an infant seat.
Stroller
A stroller is a vital piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems have a baby stroller that can transform into a cozy infant carrycot so that your child can rest comfortably in the car which is ideal for newborns and parents who do not want to disturb their children while traveling. Some brands also have the option of a car seat and stroller combo that can be linked. This means that you can keep your child safely secured in the car seat and then move them to a stroller without causing any disturbance, which is ideal for long trips and busy shopping centers.
A good stroller needs to have plenty of features to make it practical and easy to use. It should come with an ample basket in which you can put away essentials like nappies, toys and snacks and be capable of reclining to give your baby a relaxing rest. It should have a canopy to protect your child from sun and a lockable wheel on the front to ensure safety. Additionally, it should be lightweight and fold compactly for storage or 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 range of top car seats. The car seats snap onto the frame to be attached and folded easily. 2 in 1 pram stroller have one wheel on each leg, making them easier to move and move across different surfaces.
Ideally, a stroller should be able to endure through toddlerhood - and beyond if you want it to continue to transport your child to and from school, activities and play dates. For this reason, look for a model that has an opening that allows your child to face the world (and reclines) when your child is no longer in the car seat.
If you intend to use your 2-in-1 travel system for public transport, look for a model with an ISOFIX base so it's safe to get on and off buses or trains. Some models, such as the Doona can also be mounted on planes and trains to make travelling with a baby simpler.
