Infant Car Seat and Stroller Compatibility Guide

Most brands advertise travel systems as a package deal: get your stroller and infant car seat in one purchase, both from the same brand. Simply click the car seat into the stroller and voilà, you can stroll with your baby without taking them out of the car seat.

But what if you’ve finally picked out the best stroller for your family, and it doesn’t come in a travel system bundle? Or maybe you’ve found a car seat and a stroller you love, but they’re not the same brand. No worries—you may be able to DIY a travel system with the right car seat + adapter + stroller combo.

This list of top-selling strollers and car seats will guide you to building your own travel system. Just click on any of the models to see a full list of compatible car seats or strollers and the adapters you need to make them connect.

NOTE: Only infant car seats can be used as a travel system. Convertible car seats, forward-facing car seats, rotating car seats and booster seats can not be adapted for use in strollers. And if you’re wondering when to switch to a convertible car seat (or what the best convertible car seats are), we’ve got that covered, too. You can also check out our picks for the best car seats in every category, for all ages and stages.

Also, we only recommend car seat + stroller matches that are approved by the manufacturer. You may hear about some other DIY travel systems or car seat brands that use the same adapters as other brands, but be sure to check the manufacturer recommendations before you build your own travel system.

Please note that all compatibility listings are subject to change; Babylist regularly reviews and updates these guides, but it's best to check directly with the manufacturer of your car seat or stroller to ensure compatibility first.
