Car Seat

A two-in-one travel set comes with a stroller and a baby car seat that snaps together.

"You have less gear to worry about," explains Graco spokesperson Rachel Stanton. "And it's ideal for families who alternate between carpooling with other moms or using public transportation."

The Doona also attaches to a car's backseat with the LATCH base that is rigid or to taxi-safe belt routes, making it a great choice for commuters and city families.

The Mamas & Papas pramette another great combination of a car seat and stroller. It features the pram and stroller 2 in 1 with a hood which opens and a front seat that can be lowered to allow your child to lie down for naps or for feedings. It has a spacious basket and cup holders for all of your baby's necessities as well as a tray for parents and sun shade. The stroller seat features an adjustable reclining seat that can recline to a flat position so baby is comfy for every ride.

It should have a canopy to shield your child from the sun and also a lockable wheel at the front for security. Additionally it should be light and compact to make it easy to store or transport to and from the car.

When your child outgrows their car seat, choose a stroller which has a seat facing the world and reclines.
