baby travel system or not image
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!

What is the best stroller, car seat, or travel system?

I would like to know which one will be the best one for us? I would prefer a travel system that comes with the stroller and car seat but I have no clue which one to get? I want the stroller to recline all the way back so when the baby gets older he can lay down. We are having a boy by the way and would like a neutral color.

I have also used Graco with both my babies. I had a travel system with my first, you know so it all matched, but then getting pregnant with my second when my son was only 5 months old and them being so close in age, I just use a double stroller now.
