The Best Car Seat Stroller Combos For New Parents

We love, and do mean love, that this comes with the Coral car seat, which has a unique nesting system. If your baby is asleep, you simply pull out a lightweight carrier, carry it using the shoulder strap, and when you're ready to roll, insert the inner carrier back into the car seat. The car seat supports babies up to 22 pounds in rear-facing mode. As for the stroller, it has an adjustable handlebar and calf support, as well as an adjustable base with a self-retracting MaxiLock LATCH technology for easy installation. There's a linked foot brake and lockable swivel wheels. It has four recline positions. The weight limit is 50 pounds.

Perfect for urbanites, the new Baby Jogger City Mini 2 is agile, with a small(er) footprint. It comes with the City GO 2 car seat, which fits babies 4-35 pounds. The stroller has a weight limit of 50 pounds. You can use the stroller in four different modes: A single or double with an infant car seat, pram, or glider board. The seat reclines to a near-flat level, for napping, and the stroller has a foot parking brake and adjustable calf support.

Bugaboo does things a little bit differently. If you buy this car seat, it's compatible with every single one of the brand's strollers, so you can mix and match as you wish. And that's a great option for parents who want something more custom. The car seat itself fits babies 4-32 pounds and is super-easy to install, thanks to a base that has green for go safety indicators. As for the strollers, we dig the Bugaboo Fox 2 stroller, because it honestly rides like a sports car thanks to its handlebar with seamless power steering. It's sleek, handsome, and has a smart dual-trigger folding system for an easy hold. It fits kids up to 50 pounds.

Let's get the stats out of the way first. The car seat fits babies up to 35 pounds, and the stroller accommodates children weighing 55 pounds. And this thing is worth every penny. From its smooth glide to its sharp looks to its independent back and leg adjustments and one-hand compact fold to a self-standing position, it's a powerhouse stroller. The seat is reversible. The handlebar is adjustable. And the multi-position seat to a near-flat position.

This genius system has an infant car seat that's got its own stroller and integrated wheels built into the base. Granted, you get limited use out of the thing: It only fits babies 4-35 pounds, period. But damn, is it convenient. When you fold it, it's in rear-facing car seat mode. When you unfold it, it's in stroller mode. And, you're done.
