Simple to use
Car seat and stroller combos that are easy to use are essential for parents. These travel systems let you easily switch between running errands walking the dog and going for a run. You can also adapt to the changing needs of your child so you can take your family on adventures. Our testers are impressed by the ease and speed with which these travel systems glide, regardless of whether they feature one front wheel or a rotating front wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain pro combo, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are 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.
Some models are difficult to attach or remove from the base. The Doona Combo, for example, requires a two-step attachment process and straps that go over the infant's bottom portion. It's tempting to bypass these steps, but this could result in dangerous results.
Certain models are also more difficult to fold or store than others, which makes them less practical. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for example, is difficult to fold due to its huge dimensions and bulky frame. The model also has a small canopy, which some users find to be disappointing. The Britax Parkway Combo Click and Go is easy to fold with just a push of a button and a pull of the lever. This model is also a great option for parents who intend on using their car seat on other people's vehicles as it is able to be easily removed from the base and attached to any stroller that is standard.
Easy to Fold
It should be simple to fold and unfold the car seat, no matter if you're storing it in your trunk, or in the closet. The best combinations we've tested feature simple one-handed fold that is compact and sturdy enough to use for long walks. pram 2 in 1 to maneuver, gliding smoothly over bumps and uneven surfaces. We've seen a few combinations that can only be attached or removed using straps, which can feel like an extra step and make it harder for parents to secure the car seat properly.
The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is an excellent choice due to its robust construction and practical features, including a huge storage bin that can be accessed from the back or front. SafeCenter LATCH, a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, makes it easy to install car seats by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tightly.
It's also light which makes it a great option for families and frequent travellers with multiple vehicles. Both the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo, and the Thule Urban Glide 2 scored highly in our user-friendliness tests. Both have one front wheel that's simple to push (one-handed! ), as well as a swivel wheel with a variety of angles that's ideal for shopping and running errands. The only drawback is that they're very heavy and therefore it's difficult to lift them up when you're carrying children in the car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Certain car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the simplest travel systems to assemble. It even comes with a helpful guide. Other models we looked at like the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule Urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal, were also fairly simple to put together. In contrast, the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps - attaching the lower anchors and using straps that go over the bottom portion 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 about 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby Cruz. This is a easy process when you take into account the time saved by not having to take out all the pieces. The toddler seat can be attached and removed easily on the majority of these models.
