A
baby travel system is basically a stroller with an attachable infant
carrier that doubles as an infant
car seat. They are quite practical, because the stroller portion
can be used for several years, and the infant carrier serves a double
function as car seat and carrier. If you are shopping for baby travel
systems, here are some considerations to make. First, you should
understand the benefits of baby travel systems. One of the main
benefits is the aspect of cost. You will save money by buying your
stroller and car seat in one combined set, and these are both items
you will need to have for your new baby.
Baby
travel systems also provide convenience. When you put your baby in
the car to drive somewhere, chances are very high he will fall
asleep, as the natural motion of the vehicle tends to lull babies to
sleep. When you arrive at your destination, a baby travel system
allows you to gently lift the carrier, complete with baby, out of the
vehicle and place it in the stroller or shopping cart without lifting
the baby and waking him. If you have a car seat that does not double
as a carrier, you will have to wake the baby in order to complete
your trip.
A
baby travel system generally consists of a cushioned infant seat
shaped a little like a cradle, which is fastened to the car seat with
the use of a seat belt. Baby travel systems are designed to protect
the life of the infant in the event of an accident. They are built in
such a way as to absorb the impact of a head on collision, and the
attachment of the seat belt to stop the infant seat from being
violently propelled forward, a likely event in roadside accidents.
When selecting a baby travel system, it is recommended as a parent to
look for something that the baby will feel comfortable and at ease
in.
Long
rides in a car seat, as most parents know, can seem intolerable for
very young children. As such, it makes sense to look for a baby
travel system which will minimize discomfort and maybe even feel a
little bit like the cozy crib in which the baby loves to play in. In
this regard an individual is recommended to look for baby travel
systems which feature colorful designs and smooth, soft fabric liners
that will not cause any skin rashes. Baby travel systems are usually
sold along with pushchairs as a set, and are available in many
different shapes, designs, and colors, although their basic purpose
remains the same.
Some
pushchairs are ideally designed for use on off road terrains and
other surfaces that are not as smooth as pavement or sidewalks.
Pushchairs designed for uses such as these are called baby joggers or
baby jogger strollers. Baby joggers are commonly built with the
incorporation of a sleek aerodynamic design and smooth bearings in
the wheels, allowing the runner maneuvering the pushchair to maintain
a steady pace without compromising on the stability factor. This is
an excellent system that gives parents an opportunity to get some
healthy cardiovascular exercise, and gives the baby a chance to catch
some fresh air and sunlight. Baby jogger strollers come highly
recommended for those parents dedicated to an active lifestyle.
Pushchairs
can be purchased as singles or built specifically for twins or
multiples. Twin or double pushchairs are built with the seats side by
side. Tandem pushchairs are built with the seats facing forward and
in some cases facing each other. They are narrower when compared to
the double or twin pushchairs although they still have their own
unique advantages. A baby travel system is perfect for all of your
travel needs, when you need to go places along with your baby. Just
make sure that you are always keeping the safety of the baby in mind
above and beyond anything else and you will find yourself with just
the right baby travel system.
