baby travel systems for less image

Is there other travel system than Graco, that its car seat can hold a child up to 32" Height?
Answer
Hi- there are a handful of higher weight/height carseats. Keep in mind, weight is a hard number that cannot be broken. Height is a little different - a child can be all legs, and last longer then 32", or they can be all torso and need to be moved out of the seat before 32". They need at least 1" of head room between the top of their head and the shell of the seat - if they have less then this, they have outgrown the seat by height regardless of weight.
The taller shell seats for infants are:
Graco Snugride 32
Graco Safeseat 1 (discontinued but you can still find it online)
Chicco Keyfit 30
Safet 1st On Board 35 Infant seat
Certain Baby Trend Flex Loc seats (check specifications on seats)
Also - there are some other "travel system" type seats that really aren't meant to be moved out and about on a daily basis but would be travel friendly for other situations - like the orbit baby convertible carseat with the stroller, or the new combi corocco and their combi corocco stroller that's coming out.
Other then that, its time to move to a convertible rear facing carseat.
Keep those babies rear facing as long as possible!

What is a safe and lightweight stroller that is compatible with an infant car seat.?

A travel system is my last option. I was looking for something less bulky and lighter but also compatible with an infant car seat.
Answer
Why do you need the infant seat with it? An infant seat is the safest place for a baby to be in the car, but once out of the car it's not recommended to leave them in the seat for long. Instead you should carry the baby, lay it on a flat surface if they're sleeping, or even use a chest carrier (like the Moby Wrap or Ergo or something like that) but not to leave them in the car seat.
Lighter strollers aren't usually compatible with infant seats because the infant seat is difficult to have on top without tipping over. So they have to have a sturdy bottom so they're less likely to tip. If you want a lighter stroller, then consider that in 4-6 months your baby will usually be able to go into most any stroller without the car seat at all. Is it worth it to buy a stroller you're going to use only for half a year? Just get the stroller you would prefer and forget using it with a car seat.
I would look at these links and seats. The Graco Fast Action lite lays flat, and runs for a little over $100, goes to 50lbs for the child, and the stroller itself weighs just over 20lbs. The Graco Trekko runs from $150-200 and again goes to 50lbs. It lays completely flat, but also will work with a snugride, and the three wheels are easier to maneuver, but weighs a bit more at 30lbs.
