It doesn't matter if you're keeping the car seat on its own or in the trunk of your car or even in a closet, it should be easy to fold and unfold. The best combinations we've tested fold easily with just one hand and are strong enough to be used on long walks. They're also easy to maneuver and glide effortlessly over uneven surfaces. We've seen some combinations that can only be attached or removed using straps, which could seem like an extra step and make it more difficult for parents to secure the car seat correctly.
The BOB Revolution Flex Combo is a fantastic option due to its sturdy construction and practical features, including a large storage bin that can be accessed from the back or front.

It's also light which makes it a great choice for families or frequent travelers with multiple vehicles. The Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 Combo and the Thule Urban Glide 2 have also scored well in our tests of ease-of-use. Both have one front wheel that is easy to push (one-handed! ), as well as an swivel front wheel that can be swiveled that's perfect for shopping and running errands. The only drawback is that they're very heavy and it's difficult to lift them up when carrying a child in a car seat.
Easy to Assemble
Some car seat and stroller combos can be difficult to put together. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the easiest travel systems to assemble. It even comes with a handy 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 fairly easy to assemble. In contrast, the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to put together as it requires two steps: attaching the lower anchors, and using straps to cover the bottom portion of the carrier. It's heavy so it takes two people to snap the carrier into the base, and then remove it.
In our tests it took us around 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 together, which is relatively fast when you consider how much time it can save by not having to remove all of the individual pieces. Most of these models have a simple process for attaching and detaching the toddler's seat, but there are other options as well.
