Everyone tells you<\/span> how tired you\u2019ll be with a newborn, but take it from someone with a 3-month-old: It\u2019s more than you can anticipate before having kids, unless you were previously an ultramarathoner and\/or offshore oil rig worker.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re putting your freshly baked human into a car seat, stroller, or generally taking it anywhere with you<\/a> (which you have to do, apparently), you don\u2019t just want the process to be easy; you need<\/em> the process to be easy. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve fallen in love with the Britax Willow Grove SC travel system.<\/p>\n

This car seat base, car seat, stroller, and stroller base all come in a package together, and everything just works. There are no tricks for installation or daily use. Anyone can easily figure out how to use every part of these things, even when you haven\u2019t slept in days. Just click your little one into either the stroller or car seat attachment, fold up the wheeled base with one hand, and you\u2019re off to wherever you need to go. The price you pay for this system is about $100 higher than you might pay for another all-in-one option from Chicco, but the build quality and ease of use is well worth the extra cost.<\/p>\n

Getting Loaded<\/h2>\n

The most important thing for any newborn is a quality car seat and base; the hospital literally checked that we had ours installed before they allowed us to leave. There aren’t any official safety ratings for this system, but the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration\u00a0recommends rear-facing seats like this for infants. I grew up (and later babysat) in a time when you had to take your car to the fire department to install your car seat base permanently in the back seat until a child was old enough to not need it, so color me excited when I realized how easy the Britax base was going to be to install.<\/p>\n
