Travel Systems at Albee Baby

You might call these “car seat and stroller combos,” but the industry title is “travel system.” And it sounds complicated, but what it means is that an infant car seat and a stroller, usually made by the same company, seamlessly plug into each other. So you can “lock” the carrier into the car seat base or the stroller using the same mechanisms. And why would you want to do that? Well, this way, you don’t have to wake up your little one to move them in and out of the stroller (although remember you always want to get your child out of the car seat about every two hours to move around). 

How a Travel System Works

Travel systems consist of a car seat base that remains in your car and an infant car seat carrier that easily clicks into both the base installed in your car and the stroller that comes with the car seat. It’s that simple. 

You can also “make” a travel system by purchasing adaptors for many popular brands and car seats/strollers. We sell many of those here and you can easily research which car seat models are compatible with which strollers and purchase the corresponding adapters. Travel systems, in general, bypass the need for adapters.

Choosing the Right Travel System

Selecting the right travel system starts with finding the right stroller–you want to make sure that it fits in your trunk and is the right stroller for you. You’ll also use the stroller longer than you will the car seat, so it’s a good idea to make sure you’re very happy with the stroller component. Next, you’ll also want to evaluate the car seat that comes with it–does it fit the weight and height of your child? And the dimensions of your car? Once you’ve locked in both of these, the sky is the limit–what additional features would you like to shop for? And don’t worry–we’ve taken your concern for safety very seriously and promise that all of the car seats here exceed the national safety standards of the USA, which are very, very stringent to begin with.
