The Product: Infant Stroller

The best advice that I can give you as a new parent is NOT to buy a “travel system”. I can’t tell you how many new parents for whom a travel system is their biggest regret. The reason why I don’t like travel systems is simple. Your child will use a stroller from the time they are born until about age four, but they will only be in their infant seat until about six months old. You are much better off purchasing a lightweight infant seat carrier and then choosing a lighter umbrella stroller to use when your baby is done with their infant seat.

Recommendation: Baby Trend Snap N Go Stroller Review

The Baby Trend Snap N Go Stroller is an inexpensive and practical solution for your infant seat carrier until you a ready to move to a traditional stroller. Although you will only use if for six months, the Snap & Go is relatively inexpensive and performs its dedicated task very well. The wheels are large and durable and the bottom has an oversized basket. It also folds easily with only one hand. Most new parents who didn’t purchase one of these initially, usually end up with one after seeing how much their friends like it.

Devil's Advocate:

You might be better off trying to borrow this item from a friend. It’s a good item to borrow because you can’t really do much damage to it. The Kolkraft Infant Car Seat Carrier will work just as well.
