A stroller car seat is a great all in one. It makes traveling with your baby a little easier. Also called a travel system, they usually come as a 3 part package, the stroller, the base which is strapped into your vehicle and the carrier. The carrier can be snapped into the base in your vehicle and when you arrive at your destination then unsnap from the base and snap into the stroller.

A few things to consider when shopping:

- ease of use

- weight of stroller

- ease of fold-ability

- size of tires on stroller (bigger tires = smoother ride)

- sun shade

- car base

- height adjustable handle

- balance of stroller

A stroller car seat may pay off in the long run, when you don’t have to wake your child to move him from the car seat to his stroller.
