Re: Travel System vs. Car Seat and Regular Stroller
With a travel system, you can just remove your infant carseat from the car and click it into place on the stroller without taking baby out of the seat. This is especially nice when baby is sleeping – and that’s a HUGE plus. The negatives include the fact that sometimes you like the carseat and sometimes you like the stroller but you don’t always like the carseat AND the stroller included in the travel system. If you use just a clickable stroller frame, you’re going to have to buy a new stroller anyway when the baby outgrows the infant carrier/carseat.
Those travel system negatives are the “pros” to buying a carseat and regular stroller. Most convertible carseats can be used for infants in a rear-facing position and then used for toddlers in a forward-facing position. This cuts the amount of money ultimately spent on carseats. And then you can choose the stroller you like best – solely for its stroller properties and not for its coordination with an infant seat. You will have to unbuckle and lift that sleeping baby out of her carseat to put her into the stroller though. And, I’ll tell you, that can turn out badly…
