Travel System Strollers

What is the travel system strollers? Why get them vs just getting a car seat and then a stroller? Do you connect the car seat to the stroller that is what I am imagining you to do. I see the picture of a stroller and a car seat and even one has a highchair. So you connect the seat to stroller and then to car seat them to highchair? Is there a base that is already in the stroller and one that you put in car so you don't have to keep attaching it? thanks.

PS why get them out all? It seems easier just to have separate pieces vs having all these pieces you have to connect. First time mom. I don't really know. thanks.

Its better to buy the travel system. Then buying the car seat and storel spearted.
Im gonna get the travel system. Its very easy to used expecially when they get bigger.
You just put the carseat on the base of the travel system and go. It great for shopping or just bout anything you can think for.

You install a base in your car using the seatbelt. The carseat or "carrier" attaches to the base by just snapping in and it's awesome. With the stroller, you can unsnap the carseat from the car and it snaps directly into the stroller. It's great for many reasons but most of all when baby is sleeping bc you don't have to move them. Also, it gives them a place to sit. If you just bought the car seat, most newborns are way too small to go directly into a stroller unless it's a pram (bassinet) style. Also, if you go somewhere like a restaurant for example, the baby just stays in the carseat which they have holders for called slings at the restaurant. I would never go without a travel system, they're amazing! I love ours, it's chicco brand, I highly recommend it. You will still need a bigger car seat for when your newborn outgrows the carrier, with chicco that's at 30 pounds (usually when they're around a year old). You should go to babies r us, or and baby store where they sell the travel systems, bc they'll show you how they work and you can try them out around the store.

I have the travel system, but I didn't want to be lugging that heavy thing in and out of my car and house all the time. So I bought the system for all the capabilities...car seat, stroller, etc, but I also purchased a stroller frame so I can take the car seat out of the car or house and snap it right into that, the frame weighs something like 14 pounds. I am glad to have the system for when LO gets bigger and I won't use the infant car seat, I'll have a practically brand new stroller to use that is heavy duty, but for the first at least 6 to 9 months, I don't want to use the system bc it's too heavy (especially with the car seat in it). Just how I'm doing things--FTM here too, just trying to figure it all out.

The Baby is definitely a lot lighter than lifting the car seat but you're really only swinging the seat from the car to the stroller, not carrying it around usually. Every car seat will have it's weight listed, I would just pick the lightest weight one you can find. That's something you could find out online or by talking to any salesperson worth their weight.

It's a package deal. If you want your stuff to match or dont have to worry if the carrier fits the stroller, then you have your travel system. Most come with an infant seat/ carrier, carseat base for your car and the stroller. It's nice to have because it just snap in and snap out without disturbing baby. You can get the pieces separate but I think it may be cheaper buying them all together.

Just a new car seat. The bucket seat won't last the baby it's entire car seat career. If you want a car seat that will, get a convertible, but then you won't be able to hook it into a stroller or use it in a restaurant.

another car seat yes, stroller no. You can use (most) strollers as just a stroller, when the child gets older. At that point, you store (if youre planning another soon) or recycle your infant carrier. Babies r Us has an almost ongoing (seen it for a couple years now) 'sale' where you bring in used baby furniture and they give you 25% off a piece of new furniture (doesnt have to be the same thing).

Most strollers go up to about 40-60 lbs child weight limit so you will be able to use that longer than the infant carrier.

The point of getting the travel system instead of the seperate items is that not all seats attach to all strollers. Different brands use different connection methods.

I have a currently 18 month old, was given a carseat... then got a stroller... never matched...so i had to lug the carrier to a shopping cart every time. this time around, since DS will only be 21 months when this one comes along(and is only currently 26 lbs), I invested in a tandem double stroller with matching car seat so I can use the stroller for shopping, walks and the like with both boys at once rather than trying to juggle multiple modes of transportation. Its a baby trend flex loc deluxe (in beautiful blue/grey color scheme)

Travel system comes with the carseat, stroller and a base for the car..the car seat snaps into the stroller which is easier when baby is very small.. It's also usually cheaper to buy the travel system as opposed to separate pieces

The travel system strollers are sooo bulky. I've gotten separate pieces. This way I have the smaller, lighter stroller I love, which will travel way better than the big things, and a car seat which will go up to 35lb as opposed to 22 like most of the travel system ones. Personal choice - just depends on what fits your lifestyle!

Travel systems are great. There is a car seat base that stays in your car. The carrier easily clips onto the base. You can then unclip the carrier and clip it to the stroller or a shopping cart. If you have a regular car seat you need to take the baby out of the car seat and risk waking them up. The carrier will only fit the baby up to 25-30 lbs so after that you will need a different car seat but the stroller will last a long time.

I chose against the travel system because the strollers tend to be bulky and hard to fold for me. I bought a stroller and car seat carrier separately with an attachment so that I can use the car sear with my stroller. We bought the City Mini and it only weighs 17 lbs and has one handed fold feature.
