Stroller travel systems are the ultimate in convenience for a parent with a newborn. Basically, they are the combination of a good-sized stroller with an infant car seat that clips in and out, which permits your baby to stay undisturbed in their car seat while being transferred between your vehicle and stroller.
If you are planning to buy only one stroller, this may be the one you need. Not so long ago, travel systems were much too heavy (nearly 30 pounds) due to "feature overload". Also, the lower quality of some of the mass market travel systems often lead parents to buy something better and lighter after their baby had outgrown her infant car seat.
