A car seat and stroller is a great choice for parents who are trying to reduce the amount they carry. These combos typically include an infant car seat infant, and a stroller that can use for a long time, even when your child is no longer in the car seat.

If you choose to purchase a stroller that is a two-in-one and car seat, we suggest selecting one with a secure click-in link between the base of the stroller and the base.

Safety
It's essential to have a stroller and car seats that work well together, but also to ensure that your baby is safe.

Check that the car seat is properly fitted in your car as well, by following the car seat manufacturer's guidelines and reading your owner's manual. The seat should be snug but not tight, and the harness should sit in the middle or below the nipple line of your baby, says Dr. Kirkilas.
Car seats that can be converted into a stroller are also beneficial for families who use public transportation or rideshares, says Stanton, as it is possible to move your child from the car to the stroller and back again without having to leave the vehicle.

Budget
While a two-in-one stroller and car seat may seem like a fantastic money-saving idea, it is crucial to think about the quality of each piece. The stroller must have a sturdy and comfortable feel, and the car seat must have a sturdy five-point harness.
