travel systems

i just began my registry and i see that a lot of people buy travel systems.

is this better than purchasing a separate stroller and carseat?

also, i you and your dh have seperate vehicles, did you register for two car seats?

i do not know where to begin with all this stuff!!!!

TIA

Re: travel systems

I guess it depends on your needs. I stopped using the travel system stroller at 5 1/2-6 months because my son is so big. I used my Chicco stroller (like an umbrella stroller) as soon as I switched to a regular carseat. I only registered for one carseat (Britax) because I had some big items on the registry. We bought a graco comfortsport as our second with some of his christening $ and are happy with both.
