Some models are also more difficult to fold or store than others, which makes them less convenient.

Certain car seat and stroller combinations can be difficult to assemble. The UPPAbaby Cruz v2 Combo is one of the simplest travel systems to put together. It comes with a handy guide. Other models, including 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. However the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Combo is difficult to assemble because it requires two steps - attaching the lower anchors and using straps to cover the bottom portion of the carrier. 2 in 1 stroller , which means it requires two people to snap the carrier into the base, and then remove it.
In our tests, it took us about 5 minutes to put the UPPAbaby Cruz v2 together. This is a bit rapid when you consider the time it can save by not having to take out the pieces. The toddler seat can be put together and detached easily on most of these models.
