Baby Travel Solutions

Hi, my name is Samantha Crayton and this is my website about baby travel solutions. I am a mother of one, and I understand the benefits of having great baby travel equipment. This site focuses on travel cots, strollers, and travel systems. As busy mothers and families, it is often imperative to invest in quality traveling equipment to fit these lifestyles.

Travel cots:

Baby cots, or portable cribs, are marvelous inventions. When I had my baby a year ago, my husband and I purchased one for my daughter’s first crib. It was perfect – affordable, portable, and small enough to fit in our bedroom. It was easy to move near the bed when she slept, and could be moved aside during the hours when she was awake. Both my husband and I have family members far away from home, so during the holidays the travel cot we purchased was a lifesaver. It was easily folded away and placed in our vehicle for cross-country road trips. Though we spent a few nights away from home, our daughter felt safe in her crib that smelled of our place.

The particular cot that I chose was the Graco Travel Lite Crib. It has mesh sides, which allows it to weigh less than twenty pounds, as well as make it well-ventilated. The push of a button closes the entire crib up, so there was never a hassle with figuring out which way to fold it up. Moving from room to room was never easier, thanks to the wheels. For a purchase under a hundred bucks, this travel crib was worth it.

Travel strollers:

Not to be surpassed in popularity by travel systems are travel strollers. Travel strollers are most often purchased for their lightweight quality. Strollers, especially these days, are often so packed with features that it can seem like you are investing in the maintenance of an extra vehicle. However, if you choose carefully, you can get everything that is convenient about a stroller without pushing the extra weight.

Several of my mom friends can attest to the Kolcraft Travel About Lightweight stroller. I have heard their reviews of this stroller as being terrific for all purposes, traveling or not. The free-stand one-hand fold, for instance, makes it possible for parents to have a free hand while pushing their baby. This model can hold up to thirty-five pounds, so you are making a wise investment for the future considering it is also safe for newborns. With a large storage basket and adjustable canopy, you are not losing any important features when buying a lightweight travel stroller. Easily packed away, you can hit the road!

Travel systems:

Ah, the travel system. What a wonderful idea for not disturbing your sleeping baby. Imagine: your baby fell asleep in the car and you have just arrived at the mall to do some therapeutic shopping. If you’ve got a travel system, you don’t even have to think about unstrapping your baby from car seat to buckle her in the stroller. Instead, leave her in the car seat, and secure it on the stroller. Presto! You are ready to shop til your drop. Travel systems are often the cheaper way to go instead of purchasing the car seat and stroller separately.

My first experience with a travel system was the first time I took my baby to a clothing
