How A Baby Travel System Can Make Your Life So Much Easier

If you have an infant you already know they need a lot of stuff. You probably also know that trying to travel with a baby is like trying to move a circus from town to town. How did you accumulate all that absolutely necessary gear anyhow? Diapers, towels, bottles, wipes, changing mat and who knows what else you've got packed away. At last count, how many arms did you have? That's right two. So if you figure you need to carry the baby in your arms that means you're going to need to hire a Sherpa, or get your spouse, to tote the gear. Enter the solution to your problem. The baby travel system.

Today you can buy, or design your own child transportation system. A quick description is a stroller with a detachable "compartment" that converts into an infant car seat. It's a lot more complicated and versatile than that so let's take a closer look.

Even if you thought you'd never need a stroller, and I can't imagine why you would think that, state law is going to require you have a car seat for your child. So if you have to get an infant seat for the car, why not get one that can convert into a stroller as well? That my friends is a system. The stroller, less the seat, folds up and fits nicely in the trunk. It's easy to assemble when you're ready to use and baby simply snaps into it. Presto instant stroller.

These things can come with all kinds of bells and whistles but the most important part is the car seat. Make sure that it has a base that can be permanently installed in your back seat. Make sure it's adaptable to your make of car(s). If you have more than one car it might be wise to get a second base. It will save you a ton of time.

Now the stroller part is where you not only put baby, but you pack all the baby stuff that you would otherwise have hanging off your body. Is that not a better idea?

If you're fashion conscious know that these systems come in a variety of styles and colors. Know also that they can vary greatly in cost.

The absolutely best benefit of a baby travel system is that you do not have to wake baby up to put him or her in the car. If he's sleeping, God bless him, just unsnap the carrier from the stroller and snap into the car seat. Tell me that isn't worth the price of the system all by itself.
