#01. Family Comes First: Determine Your Lifestyle
Why can’t there be one primary baby travel system that has it all? It will make the choosing process a lot easier! But, each family has individual requirements unique to their lifestyle. It’s these individual necessities that result in the broad range of baby gear products. One of the first questions you should ask before purchasing is: what are my family’s needs? Consider your lifestyle, routine and preferences. Do you prefer spending time outdoors or indoors: this will influence the resilience of your travel system.
Do you have twins and would you like them to move together in one pushchair or separately? What’s your budget? The options vary in price but can be either expensive or inexpensive. Before making a choice in which baby car seat you are going to invest in, consider your family’s lifestyle and check our baby car seat reviews. Save even more time when reading our latest reviews on varies baby brands and their baby equipment. Don’t let any hassle in moving your little one get in the way of still spending quality time together.
#02. How Knowing the Difference Makes a Difference!
Think of a travel system as the overarching term for all your moving baby equipment.
A travel system consists out of different parts: Stroller; Car Seat; and a Carrycot. Let’s start at the bottom! Comfortably move your baby around by using a carrycot. Babies up to 6 months old need a carrycot that allows them to lie flat as well as sitting upright.
Make an informed decision by understanding the stroller’s varies types; their benefits; and which one fits your family’s needs the best.
You can choose between five main stroller-groups:
- Standard Size Stroller
- Car Seat Frame Stroller
- Lightweight/Umbrella Stroller
- Jogging Stroller
- Double Stroller
It is all in the name. A slightly bigger than the lightweight is the Standard-size including the frame1 and carry on. The Car Seat Frame allows you to quickly remove the car seat and attach it to the pushchair. If you want basic, then the lightweight is your answer. Made for rougher terrain is the Jogging stroller. And if you expect a twin, the double will be your go-to option.
“I don’t necessarily believe you need to purchase a separate stroller for travel, but if travelling is going to be a big part of your lives, you might want to invest in a daily stroller that travels well.” – Have Baby Will Travel
#03. How to Understand Baby Travel Systems
Simply defined a Travel System is a pushchair where you attach either a car seat or carrycot.2
Thus, add together your carrycot or car seat and stroller then you have your baby travel system. There are two options when choosing. Either you buy a predesigned travel system from one brand, which then will include the stroller, carrycot and car seat. The other option is to buy individual items and make your own system. Remember that in both options your unique preferences and lifestyle should be taken into consideration.
Quick Checklist for Travel Systems:
- A travel system is a stroller with a detachable infant car seat and carrycot.
- Some are used with the car seat placed directly onto the stroller while others need to have the car seat unit removed.
- You can buy both a car seat and carrycot together with a pushchair; it’s your choice!
