Carseat-and-Stroller-in-One for Traveling Tots

by Ruth on July 5th, 2008

You can’t believe how many equipment a young child absolutely must have nowadays. And when that child travels, believe me, it’s a major logistical nightmare to lug around all those baby or toddler stuff. Apart from the suitcase with ten thousand clothes, there’s the carseat, the stroller, the booster seat, the rocker, the playgym… Man, the list goes on and on! I remember, when we went to my in-laws for holidays, it took us half a day just to pack the car! And flying? Don’t ask.

Here’s probably one of the best gadgets for parents traveling with their little ones: the All-in-One Car Seat, Baby Stroller and Booster Seat from Hammacher.

A boon for parents traveling with young children, this versatile seat converts quickly and easily from a secure car/plane seat (forward- or rear-facing) into a sturdy, maneuverable stroller, complete with adjustable-height handle and a low center of gravity for stability. It can even be used as a booster seat when dining. The wheels and handle fold up and fit inside the body, and it secures to seats directly with a seat belt, for a true all-in-one solution. Instead of lugging excessive amounts of gear with you when you travel or shop, this innovative system allows you to simply wheel your child to the plane or car, fold away the strollers wheels and handle, and buckle it firmly in place.

This is particularly nifty when flying with children. The stroller function will be very useful when you navigate the airport, and the carseat function makes flying much safer for small children (rather than holding them on your lap during take-off and landing). This fine piece of equipment is suitable for newborns (at least 5 pounds) up to children weighing 40 pounds. You can get one here for $249.95.
