Safety

The combination of the car seat and stroller allows for easy transfer of infants from a car to a pram stroller 2 in 1, and vice versa, without disrupting or waking them. Rothman states that this is especially beneficial when you're doing errands or traveling. For extra safety, look for car seats that can be attached to the stroller via an easy click or a rigid LATCH system. This will ensure that the car seat will remain secured during use and will not slide off or become loose during the course of transport. Combinations of strollers and car seats that can work without or with a base are also good options for ride-share vehicles.
