Product Information

For help with all things airplane travel, kids and car seats, we recommend taking our Wheels Up course. Car seat and stroller combos are particularly great for parents who want to move through the world as streamlined as possible. The Chicco KeyFit 35, one of our picks for the best infant car seats, is an excellent choice for both travel and everyday use. If you don’t have any kids you probably can’t get quite as excited over a car seat or a pushchair as I am.

For the early newborn months you can completely remove the regular stroller seat and just push the KeyFit car seat around on the stroller frame.In cities where public transportation is available, you can just use a bassinet and take public transportation. You push the frame with either the toddler seat or the car seat attached — with a modular system, you never need both at the same time.

However, with all car seats, and keeping babies in a seated position, i t's worth remembering that babies shouldn't be kept in a car seat for longer than 2 hours. However, I must say that lots of more experienced people mention that despite the extra cushioning the car seat offers less side protection. Beyond the advantage of the European belt bath, the Chicco KeyFit 35 has everything we love about the more popular Chicco KeyFit 30 with a few bonus features, such as an anti-rebound base as an added safety option. She took the seat to the fire department so the chief could inspect it and since there’s no way to recline baby to a safe angle for breathing properly before they develop more neck/head support, this makes it absolutely not safe for our babies!

You can maneuver it with ease, carry items in it, and even cruise your babe around in the makeshift stroller! I currently have a Cybex car seat stroller – so at the airport, I take it up to the door and then pack the base into my luggage. This is something I never considered with my kids as my first was born in the spring and my second was born in the winter but Mexican winter, so I never had to deal with newborns surrounded by snowy or cold weather.

While it’s heavier than normal car seats, as a buggy, it’s pretty light, and therefore great for lifting onto public transport – plus as it’s so small and compact, it fits easily down a bus aisle. Doona actually performs WAY below average in terms of head injuries (which makes sense for small babies because the head can get wobbly with little side cushioning), and it doesn’t get to the top 10 car seats on the US market in terms of safety. Ridesharing and airport and town car services may also provide a car seat with advance reservations.I’ll also be brutally honest – unfortunately, if you live in a US city and don’t own a car things get tricky with infants. The Doona car seat, launched early in 2014 the Doona has been described as the “next generation car seat”, as it has integrated wheels, which means it transforms into a travel system at the touch of a button. Not to mention having to lift it into the vehicle which is an issue when women are recovering from c-sections for example.

Multiple kids: If you plan to expand your family, you might look for a travel system that allows you to add on a seat or add a ride board to the back for your older child.If you want an upgraded infant seat that’s great for travel: We recommend the Clek Liing, one of our favorite infant seats. For children using a forward-facing five-point harness, the Cosco Finale 2-in-1 is a lightweight and affordable travel option that is FAA-approved for use on a plane (in harness mode only). In booster mode Like other boosters, in booster mode this seat relies on the car’s seat belt to secure the child, so there’s no need to install it. Then we perform in-Lab and at-home tests to assess stability, ease of adjustments, ease of getting babies in and out of each car seat and ease of removal of the car seat from the base and installation into compatible strollers. That said, you may be able to find discounts or other benefits through programs such as AAA, which offers one free car seat rental for members when they book a car through Hertz, Dollar, or Thrifty.
