Easy to Use
Parents should have a stroller and car seat combination that is easy to use. These systems allow you to switch between running errands, walking the dog, or taking a jog. They also assist you in keeping up with your child's changing needs so that you can focus on enjoying your family's adventures. These travel systems glide effortlessly and smoothly, regardless of whether they have one front wheel or two. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo and the BOB Alterrain Pro combo are especially easy to maneuver however, the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo can be pulled effortlessly with just one hand.
Some models are difficult to remove or attach from the base. 2in1 pram requires a two step process of attachment, and straps that cover the bottom of the infant carrier. It is tempting to bypass these steps, but this could lead to unsafe outcomes.
Additionally some models are hard to fold away and store making 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. This model also has a small canopy, which some testers find to be disappointing. However it is the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is very easy to fold with a pull of the lever and a click of the button. This model is also a great choice for parents who are planning on using their car seats on vehicles of other people as it can be quickly detached from the base and attached to any standard stroller.
Easy to Fold
It should be easy to fold and unfold the car seat, whether you are storing it in your trunk or the closet. The best combinations we've tested have a simple, one-handed fold that's compact and durable enough to be used on long strolls. They're also easy to maneuver and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. We've seen a few combinations that can only be connected or removed using straps, which could be a hassle and make it more difficult for parents to secure the car seat properly.
The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a great choice for its sturdy construction and practical features, including a large storage bin that can be accessed from the front or back. SafeCenter LATCH, a unique feature of the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo makes it simple to install a car seat by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tight.
It's also quite light, making it a great option for frequent travellers or families 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 wheel that's easy 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 drawback is that they're quite heavy and it's difficult to lift them up when you're carrying a child in the car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some stroller and car seat combos can be tricky to assemble. We discovered that the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo was one of the easiest to put together. It even includes a handy quick-start guide which makes putting this system together an easy task. Other models, like the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also simple to assemble. However the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to put together as it requires two steps - connecting the lower anchors and using straps that go over the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy so it takes two people to click the carrier into the base, and then detach it.
In our tests, it took just 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby v2 Cruz. It's a fairly quick procedure when you consider the time saved by not having to remove each piece. The toddler seat can be slid into and detached easily on most of these models.
