What kind of travel system should I purchase?

babs

I am mainly interested in purchasing a Graco travel system for my baby due next month. I found the Graco website a bit overwhelming and the customer service representative not too helpful. I would like the stroller with the removable car seat. Does anyone recommend one over the other. The only information I really found out was the Snug Ride goes up to 22lbs and the Sung Ride 32 goes up to 32 lbs. Unfortunately some of the patterns I like don't come on the strollers I necessary like. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
I don't like the big strollers that come with travel systems so what i did was I got a Snugride32 carseat, so then the baby will be more likely to fit in it till he's a year old. And then I got the snugrider infant carseat frame. Its just a stroller that just the carseat clicks into...any graco seat fits. It folds up a ton smaller and it super light.

As for the carseat I absolutely love it. its a little bit heavier then the plain snugride but I love it. It feels a lot safer and I feel better about that. And I love the pattern, I got it in the lemongrass design and I love it... hope this helps!

Did you find your travel system useful?

With Child

I was reading blogs yesterday and came across one that was about things that you won't need with a baby. The list had things like wipe warmers and other things that I understand are a little much... But also, it said that a travel system wasn't necessary. I found this a bit odd and already have my travel system but I just want to get other opinions from moms who have already had their children. Do you use your travel system or would you rather just carry your child everywhere? That's what the blog said that they just carry their child everywhere and have an umbrella stroller for when they are older. What do you think of this? Accurate or not?
I have horrible back problems and there's no way that I could carry my infant everywhere I go... Just btw.

Answer
We use it everyday for walks.. and my son is barely 4 wks old. I think it's safe to say that a travel system is useful.

I couldn't imagine unbuckling my kid everytime I wanted to take him out of the car. Especially since he still seems so fragile.
