Is a travel system worth it?
Short answer: It is worth it if you drive often and want to move a sleeping baby from car to chassis. Remember the NHS advice to take babies out of car seats once you arrive.
Here is the detail behind that answer, taken from current UK guidance from the NHS and the Lullaby Trust.
Things to check
- Check exactly what is in the bundle: carrycot, seat unit, car seat, adapters, ISOFIX base.
- Check that the car seat suits your car and meets R129 (i-Size).
- Take your baby out of the car seat when you arrive. Car seats are not for long sleeps.
What the guidance says
- It is fine for a baby to fall asleep in a car seat while you travel, but take them out as soon as you arrive.
