Travel System For Everyday Use

Traveling with your kids and taking them places can be very challenging, so it is important to have appropriate accessories to make it easier on you and your children.
A travel system typically consists of a stroller, a seat, and the base, that stays in the car. The seat snaps into the stroller and the base, making transitions especially easy. The stroller with the seat attached can be heavy, but the convenience may be worth the extra pounds.
These models accommodate babies from birth to 20 lbs. Although an infant seat won’t work for as much of your child’s life as a convertible seat, it will take him or her more places. It will be more useful until the baby reaches 20 lbs. Infant seats can be used also as carriers. All the seats on today’s market tested and rated at least very good.
Infant Seats Features:
- can be bought with a stroller,
- separate base that can be left strapped in the car,
- leveling indicator to help install the seat at a safe angle that’s comfortable for the infant,
- adjustable three-point harness,
- attachment to use with a shopping cart,
- weigh 6-8 lbs.
Strollers Features:
-
backrest that reclines to a near horizontal, flat position,
- fabric can be cleaned by damp-wiping,
- swivel wheels that don’t lock,
- shock-absorption at frame and wheels,
- padding for the child,
- canopy that locks when positioned,
- have rear-wheel brakes,
- use T-buckle restrains with strap at the crotch and waist.
You won’t go far wrong with any of these travel systems. All were judged at least as good as strollers. The top models are manufactured by Graco and Evenflo. They earned the highest scores in convenience, durability, and safety.
Convenience of functions was judged according to ease of opening and folding, inserting and removing the car seat, operating the brakes, steering, and using buckles.
Durability reveals how well each stroller handled loads of 100 pounds on the seat and 10 pounds on the foot rests, as well as repetitive opening and folding and an endurance track test on bumpy sidewalks or rough road surfaces.
The safety scores indicate areas where the standards are inadequate- protecting an infant sleeping in the stroller or the instability when force is applied to the handle.
The baby rides in the car seat snapped into the stroller until she can sit up, and then you use the stroller without the car seat.
Like an infant seat with carrier frame, a travel system allows you to move a sleeping baby in the seat undisturbed from car to stroller. This is very important for today's, busy parents, who need to take their babies places or travel with them.
