Our test subjects are awed by the ease and speed with which these travel systems glide whether they have one front wheel or a swiveling rear wheel. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Combo as well as the BOB Alterrain Pro combo, and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo are simple to move. But even the BOB Revolutionflex 3.0 Combo and the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo can be moved with one hand.
Certain models are difficult to remove or attach from the base. The Doona Combo requires a two step process of attachment, and straps that cover the bottom of the infant carrier. It is tempting to skip these steps, but this could result in dangerous outcomes.
Additionally, some models are difficult to fold and put away, which makes them less convenient than others. The Graco FastAction 3-in-1 Car Seat Stroller, for instance, is difficult to fold due to its large dimensions and bulky frame. Some reviewers have also found the canopy on this model disappointing. On the other hand it is the Britax Parkway Click and Go Combo is easy to fold with a pull of a lever and a snap of the button. This model is a fantastic choice for parents who want to use their car seat in other vehicles, since it can be easily removed from the base.
Easy to Fold
Whether you're storing the car seat on its own, in the trunk of your vehicle or even in the closet, it should be simple to fold and unfold. The best combinations we've tested have simple one-handed fold that is compact and sturdy enough to use for long walks. They're also easy to maneuver and glide smoothly over uneven surfaces. We've seen some combinations that can only be connected or removed using straps, which can be a hassle and make it more difficult for parents to secure the car seat properly.
The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a fantastic choice for its sturdy construction and convenient features, including a large storage bin that can be accessed from the front or back. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to achieve a secure car seat installation by connecting the lower anchors and pulling the straps tight and then putting the carrier in the base.
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 very well in our user-friendliness tests. Both come with one wheel that's easy to push with one hand. ) and a versatile swivel front wheel that's perfect for shopping and running the errands. The only issue is that they are heavy and can be difficult to lift up when a baby is in the car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to assemble. We found that the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo was one of the most simple to put together, and it comes with a handy quick-start guide that makes putting this travel system together a breeze. Other models we tried like the UPPAbaby Minu, UPPAbaby Vista V2 Thule Urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also simple to put together. Contrary to that the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps to assemble - attaching the lower anchors and using straps to cover the bottom of the carrier. It's also very heavy, which means it takes two hands to snap the carrier into the base and then remove it from the base.
In our tests we took about 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby v2 together, which is relatively rapid when you consider the amount of time it can save by not having to remove the pieces. The majority of these models have an easy process for attaching and detaching the toddler seat, as well.
