Choosing a Car Seat Pram

Selecting the best car seat pram is one of the most important choices new parents will make. You'll want a product that is easy to use and fits your lifestyle.

Car seat/pram combos generally only be used for infants (new-born 1-year old) so you'll have to invest in another stroller later on.

Comfort

Both the baby and the parent must be comfortable in the car seat pram. It is crucial to have plenty of cushioning on the seat as well as an adjustable handlebar that can be adjusted for an appropriate fit. Some models have shade canopy that's easy to use and can be stowed in a pockets for your baby's convenience. The pram should be easy to use, with a strap that can be slid on by one hand and then easily detached from the base.

It is also essential that the pram is easy to clean. This is particularly true when it is made of fabric that can be washed in the machine. 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 plenty of time to spend tinkering with their equipment.

Some car seats, such as the Graco 4Ever DLX and the Graco Extend2Fit 3 in one, are relatively easy to install with LATCH. They have average crash test scores and are not recommended for people who want the highest level of safety.

Other seats, such as the Clek Liing and Chicco Keyfit 35, have higher than average crash test sensor scores and are more easily installed with LATCH. These seats are more expensive than top-performing seats however they offer premium comfort and quality that offset the higher price.

The Doona infant seat and latch base is a different option that is rated with superior crash test results and is a breeze to use in both the car and stroller. This model is highly reviewed by Amazon customers, with over 90 percent rating it five stars. It is difficult to use without the base because it requires a two-step procedure of pressing the base into the base and then securing it to the bottom part of the carrier that some parents forget to do or intentionally skip (always follow the manufacturer's directions to avoid injury).

If you intend to use your car seat primarily in taxis, choose a model that is able to attach easily and quickly to its base so that you can switch from car to stroller and back again in just a few seconds. The Mountain Buggy Nano, for example is compatible with any of the car seats for infants we tested and is also compatible with the Cosco Scenera NEXT, making it ideal for Uber.

Another advantage is that a lot of these car seat prams can be configured to be used either a parent-facing or facing the world. This is a great option for families who will be spending a lot of time outside, particularly when the weather is nice. The idea of having your child face you while you walk will help you keep an eye on them and will also make it easier to chat or sing to them plus you'll be in a position to be able to see them more clearly.

Safety

The car seat is among the most beneficial investments you can make for your child, as it keeps them safe when travelling. Depending on the type of car seat you select there are many different safety features that you may want to look for.

A carrycot attached to the chassis of a pram allows your baby to lay flat. This is great for the spine and lung development. It is also important to ensure that your car seat comes with five-point harness systems that is comprised of two straps that secure the shoulders, and two straps that cross over the hips. It is also important to ensure that your car seat has a front adjuster to help you tighten the harness, and an adjustable recline angle of forty-five degrees to prevent your baby from being suffocated.

Brands will have different weight and height restrictions for their infant car seats. Make sure your child's height and weight are in line with these standards as well as those of the stroller. If you're buying a transport system, ensure that the car seat and stroller click seamlessly into one another and meet federal motor vehicle standards according to Stanton.

If you're not sure of how to install your car seat, ask a certified child passenger safety technician at a hospital or a fire department. They'll be able to provide you with specific instructions and answer any questions you have.

You'll also need to consider whether you would like your child's car seat to come with the top tether strap which is a tether that connects to the seat via a hook embedded in the back seat or trunk. The tether prevents your child's head from bouncing forward in the event of a crash, thus reducing the chances of head trauma.

When selecting a car seat pram, ensure that the base and car seat fit together snugly and that the locking mechanism is easy to operate using one hand. Always secure the chassis prior to folding your pram. This will prevent you from accidentally folding it when your child is in the seat.

Storage

The best way to stow a car seat is in a location free of excess humidity and pests. The back of a closet is ideal however, if that's not feasible, consider an area within your home with a good airflow and ample space to move around. A garage or finished attic is another option. Make sure to store your car seat in a plastic bag or something similar while it's not being used, and put it away from areas where rodents commonly are able to hide.

If you are planning to use your car seat pram with baby carriers, make sure to secure all the other components that are included. Included are infant inserts, strap pads and any extra bases you may have. You may also want to store stroller adaptors that fit the car seat in the same area. This will allow you to easily reinstall the car seat at a later time.

When you're ready to stow your car seat, look for signs of wear and tear prior to putting it away. If there's any cracking in the base, tearing or stains in the fabric, or any issues with the latch or buckle systems, it could be time to buy a new one.

A baby carrier or a stroller can provide the same functionality as a car seat pram but they're generally used for older infants. They include frame backpacks as well as hip carriers, slings, or mei tais. If you're planning to use a baby carrier pick one that allows you to recline the seat so that your baby can lay flat when they're not asleep.

A travel system includes a car seat, and stroller. The baby seat snaps into a base which stays in your car. You can easily transfer your baby from the car to the stroller and back when you are done.
