Many new parents don't know that they can't leave the hospital without having a properly installed, rear-facing, infant-appropriate car seat1 ready to go. To say that a car seat is an essential item is an understatement. Another essential baby product that you'll get endless use out of is a good stroller, which is why infant car seat and stroller bundles are so popular. Read more about Best Baby Strollers and Car Seat Combos.
These bundles, often called travel systems, come with an infant car carrier that serves as a car seat that either converts or clicks into a stroller, allowing you to transition your baby from the car to the stroller without ever having to wake them or unstrap them. It’s hard to find an argument against investing in one of these combos.
