🚗 Car seats & strollers

Travel system

This is a combination of an infant car seat + stroller that work together, typically made by the same manufacturer.

• Pros: You will have everything you need until the baby grows out of the car seat (weight/ height limit). Usually the car seat comes with a base that you can keep installed in your car. Travel systems allow you to easily transfer the baby between the stroller and the car seat.

• Cons: You will need to switch to a larger car seat when baby outgrows the original car seat.

Convertible, infant-to-toddler car seats

• Recommendations

  • Graco 4Ever - Good price point for what it's worth

  • Evenflo 360 rotation - My favorite because the rotating car seat makes a huge difference when the child is a toddler and is heavier!

Compact strollers

• Recommendations

  • Bugaboo Butterfly - fits most overhead bins, one hand open/close. I love my Bugaboo Butterfly because it helps that I can open and close the stroller with one hand, while holding the baby/toddler with another.
