baby travel systems with car seat image

Well my son is 8 months old he is small for his age. My guess is he now about 19 lbs. I plan on keeping him in his travel system car seat until age 1. Unless he starts to look uncomfortable in it.
Answer
That sounds like a good plan...
The car seat from the travel system will say on the sticker on it the height/weight combo that it is good until...
As for how much our baby weighed, I can't remember, I think she 'heighted' out of it first, though.
As for age, our baby was so much TALLER than others for her age...got to say I don't think age matters at all, it is more about meeting the height and weight requirement and all children achieve that at different ages so it is more about your individual baby's growth that matters. But that said, if memory serves it was right around a year, I believe.

What is better to purchase - a travel system, or a separate car seat and stroller?
LP
This is our first baby, but we plan on having more in the next few years. I'm trying to decide whether I should by a travel system or just buy a separate car seat and a lighter-weight stroller. What are the pros and cons?
Answer
I have to disagree with most on the answeres..sorry guys. I registered for the travel system and loved it , but it didn't last long. The stroller is very bulky and didn't fit in my trunk (mid-size sedan) , the carseat is also very small. My daughter is 3 1/2 months and barely fits in the infant carrier anymore. I went to Babies r' us the other day to look for a new stroller that folds up more compact and spoke to 3 different mothers and they all agreed. Yesterday I went and bought the Peg Perego stroller which is good from infancy through toddler , and I switched to a convertible carseat , also good until around 4 years of age.
The pros of a travel system are that is it way more convenient to transport the baby in and out of the car while still in the carseat.
The con is that once your baby hits around 15 lbs. the carrier can get very heavy to carry around. Also the strollers tend to be a little bulkier.
The pros of buying separate is that the carseat will last for years , and you have a wider variety of stroller to pick from , lightweight and compact , or a more expensive trendy one.
The cons of buying separate are that you have to physically take the baby in and out of the carseat , which can get annoying if you have a light sleeper.
Good Luck!
