2 in 1 Pushchair With Car Seat
The seat can fold with just one hand, whether facing the parent or the world. This is unlike some buggies which require the seat to removed and then installed. The handle can be adjusted to multiple height positions which makes it suitable for parents of all heights.
The pushchair features an adjustable seat that is suitable for newborns and is compatible with the Cot S carrycot for outdoor napping. 2 in 1 stroller comes with a variety of accessories.
Everyday 2-in-1
This award-winning stroller is a full size, budget-friendly model that has everything you need to use it daily. It is easy to move and has a few handy features, such as stow pockets for parents and a sun hood that can be extended and a tray for parents.
It's a good option for those who want to purchase a travel system but don't have a huge amount of money to spend and will suit families who are likely to take public transport often. If you're an avid walker, you may want to choose an infant stroller that is more bouncy and has a lying-flat seat.
The thing that stands out the most about this stroller is its one-handed folding mechanism, which most of the reviews online rave about. The stroller folds neatly by adjusting a lever on the push bar while pushing forward. It also has mesh peepholes that allow air to circulate in warm weather, and can be used for checking on your baby while facing the world.
This is a very comfortable stroller for toddlers, with a 5-point harness as well as an adjustable backrest. The seat can also tilt to various positions, and the padded footrest adjusts as your child gets taller. The hood comes with a removable segment that can be zipped on to create a large visor. It provides adequate shelter in windy weather and even has UPF 50+ protection against UV radiation. The height of the handlebar can be adjusted using an adjustable side, but it requires both hands, which can be awkward for smaller hands.
TRAVEL SYSTEM
If you opt for a 2-in-1 pushchair that includes a car seat, your child can be safe from birth in a baby car seat that snaps onto the stroller frame. This is ideal for families who are busy and use taxis or ride-sharing services to travel around. If you don't intend to travel often or use a stroller that is a standalone unit with a car seat could work as well. Just be sure to go over the specifications of the product to ensure that the car seat and stroller work together.
The majority of 2-in-1 travel systems come with a car seat for your infant and the pushchair. The car seat snaps right into the pushchair frame so that you don't need to awake your sleeping baby to get them in. This is especially helpful in the beginning of the year when your baby might be asleep for a large portion of the day and you do not want to disturb them.
Certain models, such as the Doona infant car seat and base offer even more convenience. The Doona is a hybrid stroller/car seat. The seat folds up under itself to transform into an infant stroller once the car is removed. The Doona is a great choice for families who travel a lot, because it is able to be used in cars and planes with a car seat carrier.
Other travel systems such as the MOOV, VEO and PRIME 2020 offer a seat unit that clicks into the pushchair frame. Seats can be folded down to a compact size and some have multiple recline positions so that your child is at ease in any position. Some models come with an extendable hood to shield your baby from the sun and wind, and you can add accessories like a footmuff and a shopping bag.
The EVERYDAY is an excellent choice for daily walks, thanks to its lightweight and sturdy aluminium chassis, as well as maintenance-free wheels that are puncture-resistant. It has shock absorption for better steering on sidewalks and roads that are paved. The front wheels can also be turned 360 degrees to improve maneuverability. It's great to take your child on a stroll through the park or going to the local cafe or grocery store.
STORAGE
The large storage basket is easily accessible from the front. There's plenty of space to store all your essentials and shopping. With the one-hand fold you'll be able to move even if your bag is full.
The bar that protects our stroller can be removed from both sides. This makes it easier to put your child into the carrycot and pushchair seat (it's also an option for our other 2-in-1 models, including MOOV, VEO and PRIME 2020). The bar is finished in eco-friendly leather. It is elegant, soft and nice to the touch. The set is small and light, making it easy to transport.
The baby seat is designed to be adaptable to your child's needs. It can be used in a lying flat position, similar to a carrycot, or in various recline positions. It features a soft bamboo-fibre mattress with thermoregulatory properties and antibacterial properties.
After your baby grows and you are ready to transform the stroller into a traveling system. The car seat attaches to the frame of the stroller in just a few seconds, thanks to Click Connect technology. It's ADAC-approved, so you know your child is safe.
As your child ages and more independent, you can use this seat unit in lieu of a car seat. It offers a range of reclining positions, and is designed ergonomically to assist the back. It's ideal for long walks and allows your child to sit up and work on their independence while remaining secure.
Every detail was carefully considered to make life as easy as possible with your baby. The telescopic handle, as an example, has three levels of adjustment, so you can get the ideal position. It's also covered in a soft, nice-to-the-touch eco leather and padded for comfort. The pushchair comes with a host of practical accessories like a cup holder, mosquito net, leg warmer, rain cover (for the carrycot as well as separately for the pushchair) sunshade and universal adapters*.
Accessories
A travel system is comprised of a car seat, a pushchair or carrycot (depending on model). Most models come with a car adapter that snaps onto the chassis to secure your baby's infant car seat. It can be clipped onto the seat component, or be fixed directly to the chassis without removing the seat component. If you opt for a travel system, make sure that the car seat and base adaptors are included in the price of purchase.
Baby can stay for up to 6 months in a comfortable lie-flat carrycot prior to transitioning to a pushchair. Choose a design that converts from pramette to pushchair seat and offers several different reclining positions to give your baby the ultimate comfort. Check that the seat can be adjusted to face forwards or backwards depending on the age of the child.
Some strollers and cars seats require a two-step attachment which means that the straps have to be put in place, and then tightened. This can be time-consuming and difficult, and there is a risk of error. We look for combinations with one-step car seat attachments that are simple to use. They score high in our tests.
Smoothness is the key to maneuverability. We prefer options with rubber wheels and one wheel on the front, which offer quick handling in rough terrains. We also prefer models that can be driven by hand, or with a swivel front wheel for easy manoeuvring in cafes and stores.
Also, think about how easily the chassis folds up - this is particularly important for travel systems. It is likely that you will need to lift the rolled pushchair's chassis in and out of the boot, therefore an easy mechanism is a must. Look for an automatic lock that keeps the chassis in place during storage and also a strap to aid in this. Find a bin that can hold all the necessities of your family, and also a cup holder for the parent so that you can drink your own beverage on the go.
