Editor-tested travel systems let you transfer your newborn baby in a seamless manner from the car to the stroller without having to disturb them. Some travel systems come with an infant carrycot to help encourage natural sleep.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 car seat and pram in 1 travel system that includes an infant car seat as well as a stroller that snap together. This is a great option for parents who often do errands or take their baby on rideshares or public transport. "You'll have less gear to deal with," explains Graco spokeswoman Rachel Stanton. "And it's great for families that switch between public transportation and carpooling with other moms."

A top pick is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which gets an incredible 90 percent of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing car seats that transforms into a stroller that rolls. The transition only takes seconds. When not in use, the wheels can be folded away and it is small. The Doona can also be connected to a car's backseat by using the sturdy LATCH base or to taxi-safety belts. This makes it ideal for urban families.

The Mamas & Papas pramette is another great car seat/stroller combination. It has the pram 2 in 1 with a hood which opens and a front seat that can be lowered to allow your child to lay down for naps or for feedings. It comes with a large basket and cup holders for everything your baby needs as well as a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat can recline in multiple positions and can be flat too so that your child will be comfortable on every ride.

Other important car seat features to consider are the weight and height limits and whether the infant seat can be used with just a car belt for backseats or comes with an additional layer of protection with an integrated LATCH system. Also, look for a locking mechanism on the handle to keep it safe in its place and the possibility of tilting the handle toward the back seatback to create an anti-rebound bar.

It's important to note that travel systems work only with infant car seats. Extended-use car seats that later turn forward-facing do not convert into strollers. Because of this, many moms choose to purchase an additional car seat and stroller when their baby grows out of the infant seat.

Stroller

A stroller is an essential piece of equipment for any new parent. Some travel systems come with the baby pram that can be transformed into a comfortable infant carrycot. This is ideal for parents who don't want to disturb their newborn while traveling. Based on the brand they may also include an automobile seat and stroller combination that connects to each other. This means you can keep your child secure in the car seat, and then transfer them to a stroller without disturbing them, which is ideal for long drives and shopping malls that are crowded.

A good stroller should have many features that make it simple to use and practical. It should have a large storage basket that can hold essential items such as nappies as well as toys and snacks. It must also recline so that your baby can sleep comfortably. It should also have a good canopy to protect your baby from sun, and a lockable front wheel for extra security. It should also be light and compact to store it in and transportation to and from the vehicle.

Editor-tested travel system strollers such as the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo, Chicco Keyfit Caddy and Doona Combo all offer convenience by connecting with a range of top car seats that click to attach to the frame and fold with ease. Some models also have a single wheel on each leg, making them more maneuverable and roll across different surfaces.

The ideal stroller should be able to carry your child through toddlerhood and beyond and beyond, allowing you to continue using it to get them to and from activities, school and play dates. This is why you should choose a stroller that features a seat that faces the world (and reclines) after your child has outgrown the car seat.

If you intend to utilize your 2 in 1 stroller car seat-in-1 travel system on public transportation, you should choose one with an ISOFIX base. This will ensure it is safe for you to hop on and off buses or trains. Certain models, like the Doona can be mounted on trains and planes to make traveling with your baby easier.
