What is a Travel System?

By , About.com Guide

Question: What is a Travel System?
Answer: A baby travel system is a pre-packaged set that includes a baby stroller, an infant car seat / infant carrier and a car seat base. The infant car seat has a handle that allows it to be used as an infant carrier. The car seat base can be seat-belted into a vehicle, then the car seat / carrier snaps onto the base for travel, making it easier for the parent to move baby from car to destination all while strapped in to the same carrier. This system is particularly handy for sleeping infants, since it eliminates the need to actually remove the sleeping baby from the car seat. The car seat / carrier also snaps onto the stroller frame for added convenience.
