Portable Car Seat

A portable car seat or infant carseat makes everyday travel with baby a snap!

Nearly every new mother will purchase a portable car seat. It just makes sense in our ultra-mobile society. This style infant carseat securely snaps into a base that stays in the car. The handle makes it easy to carry a short distance such as into the house or a shop. Very young babies sleep so much and having an easy way to transport that sleeping baby will be such a life saver.

Most moms will probably want to do their own research and purchase the best infant carseat they can find. So it may be a difficult call if you'd like to make this a baby gift.

One fabulous car seat related baby gift idea is to accessorize with stylish infant car seat covers. It's a great way to add style if mom opts for a neutral colored seat that she can use for either gender.

You could also buy a complete infant travel system. This means you also get a large compatible infant stroller that will hold the infant car seat safely when out and about. They usually match in style and color and you will love how many cute strollers there are out there! With the complete set, it's easy to move baby back into the house or car especially if s/he has fallen asleep during your stroll.

If you don't want such a large stroller, another great option is a Baby Trend Snap n Go. This universal stroller "frame" fits most makes and models of portable infant car seats.

There are so many pros to these seats, but there is one major downfall to this style baby seat, and that is the weight. They are rather heavy, and once you add the weight of the baby the days before moving him to a convertible car seat are numbered. However, most moms agree that a portable baby seat is so worth it for the time you are able to use it.
