Stroller travel systems are relatively new to the baby transport scene. They are a baby seat that fastens into a base in your car for auto travel, or into a stroller frame for wheeling around.

Parents report a deep abiding love or total disdain for the stroller travel systems. You will have to judge for yourself.

Imagine your sleeping baby, dozing quietly in his baby carrier fastened tightly in the car's secure base. You arrive at your destination, pop the safety latches and taa daa, the baby, cozy in her baby carrier, is still resting happily, not a bit disturbed.

Or may be the transition is from the stroller to the car. Same thing, the little prince is still soundly asleep. The best part is the parent feels like royalty because he has no stress.

Other positives of the stroller travel systems are that you do not have to buy a separate car seat and stroller. You will also have a baby carrier from the day you by your travel system. However, the travel systems tend to be a bit pricey. But, when you consider the price of each of the items individually, the travel system is priced right in line.

A good quality mid-range baby carrier will usually cost between $80 and $150. A mid-range infant car seat will cost between $100 and $300. A mid-range, mid-sized stroller, that is most like the strollers offered in the mid-range stroller travel systems will cost between $150 and $300. That is a total cost for the three essential baby transport systems between $330 and $750. A stroller travel system, that includes all of the previously mentioned pieces costs between $200 and $360, saving the parent between $130 and $390. That is quite a difference.

Parents have offered their opinions on various blogs and consumer reviews. Pay attention. Some are disturbing. Some say there is not enough padding and they worry how a baby could be comfortable in them. Some parents say that certain stroller travel systems tilt too far forward and a young baby's head flops around. This is not a good thing.

Other parents report difficulty in getting the baby carrier fastened properly in the car seat base. If this should happen to you, take your stroller travel system to a car seat inspection site at a local law enforcement facility or hospital. Trained professionals can make sure that the car seat portion is working correctly.

Some parents say the stroller travel systems are bulky and hard to fold. The only way to check this for yourself is go to a store that carries the model you are thinking of buying. The sales people will show you how easy the stroller travel system operates, but try it your self. Make sure it operates easily enough that you can deal with it day after day and with your hands full and a screaming child and someone blowing their horn waiting for your parking place and the toddler running away and dinner is late and it is beginning to rain and the kids are at the neighbors and your cell phone is ringing and ...you get the picture.

These innovative stroller travel systems can save money and stress, but make sure you inspect the one you buy carefully. Read what other parents have to say about the various systems. Most importantly, try the system yourself. Make sure you can properly install the car seat and baby carrier. A loose car seat could be a disaster.
