Product Information

While one of the benefits of a car seat and stroller combo is being able to transfer your infant without disturbing them, as soon as you're able, transfer them over to a proper sleep surface such as their crib or bassinet.

But you can also use this as a traditional travel stroller and sit the KeyFit on top of the toddler seat — it works that way, too. Though the airline allows you to have a child on your lap if they’re under two, we recommend purchasing an additional seat and fastening them into their car seat for safety and sanity! The doona isn’t THAT heavy, even my orthopedic surgeon was impressed with how light it was, it has wheels it’s not like you’re going to be carrying it around like an infant carrier.It’s also important to note that non-US airlines do not always allow car seats on planes (and often they must be pre-booked) and in most cases only front-facing car seats as allowed after take-off and landing because infant rear-facing car seats limit the recline of the person in front of you. It’s easier to get a secure install with the European belt path, but it’s only found on a few car seat models.

While UPPAbaby's car seat and stroller combo is definitely a splurge, it's a great travel system from a sought-after brand, especially among parents who want the smooth-rolling Vista stroller. In addition to writing the most recent versions of Wirecutter’s infant and convertible car seat guides, Christina is responsible for Wirecutter’s guides to the Best Baby Formula and kids face masks. Baby was too big for the infant insert but still too small to safely ride in the carseat and maintain her own airway properly due to the angle of her neck (but mom did not know this until it was almost too late! There aren’t any solutions for older kids since only infant car seats can be clipped into the stroller and this is why when the child has outgrown the infant seat but isn’t quite ready for a booster yet is very tricky for travel and general commuting.If you’re expecting a winter baby it’s only natural to think about a snowsuit or outdoor sleep bag to keep an infant warm and cozy. The Mesa car seat can be clipped into your vehicle with UPPABaby's unique Smart Secure LATCH system that makes installation easier.

It’s also important to note that although some infant car seats and convertible car seats can be installed on a plane, booster seats can’t be used with lap belts only. It was unnecessarily heavier, the baby was getting sweaty and uncomfortable, so I don’t recommend any. For this story, our Parenting Lab experts tested more than 24 stroller and car seat combos, considering ease of use, safety features, functionality and value.Every car seat-stroller combo includes an infant car seat, not a convertible car seat, so your baby needs to be facing the rear of the car. We like the Nuna brand's easy, magnetic buckles and premium fabrics, plus the leatherette on the stroller handle, bumper bar and car seat handle. Looking at the Doona, you can be awed by its innovation, but it is worth remembering it's a car seat, and as such can't use it for more than 2 hours at a time for babies (as it doesn't lie flat) and so, it won't replace a buggy. But your own convertible car seat is likely to be heavy (our picks in our guide to convertible car seats range from 19 to 33 pounds).

Of the four infant car seats we recommend, only the Chicco KeyFit 35 and Clek Liing offer the option of using the European belt path. This is the easiest stroller to maneuver through airport security and in a terminal," said one mom with two young kids.If you’re reading this you probably saw or heard of this “amazing car seat that converts into a stroller”. The only difference between the two is the fabric—the DX has a tiny bit more cushion and a slightly less slippery texture. If you want the safest car seat available, then Doona is not the answer as while it passes it performs badly in crash tests. The Chicco KeyFit 35 is a great all-around infant car seat—and one of the ones we recommend for everyday use.
