The best option is the Doona infant car seat and latch base, which has an astounding 90% of five-star reviews on Amazon. It's a rear-facing car seat that transforms to a stroller that can be turned into a rolling one. The change only takes seconds. The wheels fold down underneath, and it's compact when not in use. The Doona can also be attached to a car backseat with the LATCH base that is rigid, or to taxi safety belts. This makes it perfect for city families.
