Choosing a Car Seat Pram

The choice of the best travel stroller car seat pram is among the most important decisions that new parents will make. You'll need something that is easy to use and suits your lifestyle.

The combination car seat/pram is typically only suitable for infants (newborns up to 1 year old) So you'll require a stroller that is different.

Comfort

Both the child and the parents should feel comfortable in the car seat pram. It is important to have plenty of padding on the seat and an adjustable handlebar that can be adjusted for an appropriate fit. Some models come with shade canopy that's easy to use and can be stowed in a pocket for your baby's comfort. The twin pram should be simple to use, with straps that can be slid on with one hand and easily detached from the base.

In addition to comfort, it is important that the pram is easy to clean. This is especially true when the fabric can be machine washed. A few of our top picks like the Mountain Buggy Nano have a removable fabric for cleaning. This is a great feature for busy parents who don't have lots of time to spend tinkering with their equipment.

Graco 4Ever DLX 3 in 1 Graco Extend2Fit and the Graco Extend2Fit DLX are just a few car seats that are relatively easy with LATCH to install. They have average crash test scores, and are not recommended for those who want the highest level of safety.

Other seats, like the Clek Liing and Chicco Keyfit 35, have superior crash test results and are more easily installed with LATCH. They are a little more expensive than other seats that are top-performing, but they offer superior quality and comfort to make up for the cost.

Another option that offers superior crash test results and is easy to install in the stroller and car is the Doona infant car seat and latch base. It is highly evaluated by Amazon customers, with over 90% rating it five stars. It can be a bit difficult to use the carrier without the base. It requires two steps that involves you clicking in to the carrier, and then place it on top of the base. Some parents may forget or skip this step.

If you are planning to use your car seat most of the time in taxis, choose one that can be attached quickly and easily to its base so you can switch from stroller to car and back in a matter of seconds. The Mountain Buggy Nano is compatible with all the infant car seats we tested, and is compatible with Cosco Scenera NEXT. This makes it ideal for Uber.

A carrycot attached to the chassis of a pram will allow your baby to lie flat. This is beneficial for the spine and lung development.

Also, make sure that your car seat has an adjustable front that helps you tighten the harness and a maximum recline angle of 45 degrees to stop your child from becoming suffocated.

Another thing to take into consideration is the weight and height limits of your infant car seat, which will differ by brand. Make sure your child is in compliance with these requirements as well as those of the stroller. If you're purchasing a travel system, ensure that the car seat and stroller click into each other seamlessly and meet the federal standards for motor vehicles according to Stanton.

If you're not sure of how to properly install your car seat, talk to an experienced child safety technician at a hospital or fire department. They'll be equipped to provide specific instructions and answer any questions you have.

You'll need to decide if your car seat for your child to come with a top tether which is a tether linking the seat to the hook in the trunk or back seat of the vehicle. The tether prevents your child's head from whipping forward during a crash, thereby reducing the chances of head injuries.
