Some models are difficult to attach or remove from the base. The Doona Combo requires a two step process for attachment, as well as straps that cover the bottom portion of the infant carrier. It is tempting to skip these steps, but this could lead to dangerous results.

Similarly certain models are difficult to fold and put away making them less convenient than others.

The best combinations we've tested have a simple, one-handed fold that's compact and sturdy enough to use on long strolls. They are also easy to maneuver and glide effortlessly over uneven surfaces. Some combos are connected and removed using straps. This may seem like a step in the back, and can make it difficult for parents to secure their car seat correctly.

The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a great choice for its sturdy construction and convenient features, such as a large storage bin that is accessible from the back or front. Its exclusive SafeCenter LATCH makes it easy to ensure 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 relatively lightweight and compact, making it an excellent choice for frequent travelers or families with multiple vehicles.

Both have one wheel that's easy to push with just one hand. ), as well as a versatile swivel front wheel that's ideal for shopping or running the errands. The only downside is that they're quite heavy and it can be tricky to lift them up when you're carrying a child in a car seat.

Some car seat and stroller 2in1 combos can be tricky to assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the most simple travel systems to assemble. It even comes with a helpful guide. Other models, like the UPPAbaby Minu and UPPAbaby Vista v2, Thule urban Glide 2 and Baby Trend Snap-N-Go EX Universal were also relatively simple to assemble. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo, on the other hand, is difficult to assemble. It requires two steps to attach the lower anchors and using straps that cover the bottom of the carrier. It's heavy so it takes two people to snap the carrier into the base, and then to remove it.

In our tests, it took about 5 minutes to assemble the UPPAbaby v2 Cruz. It's a fairly easy procedure when you consider the time saved by not having to take out all the pieces. The majority of these models come with a simple process for attaching and removing the toddler seat, but there are other options as well.
