Many of these models come with the option of removing the seat for the pushchair which allows you to make it a lighter stroller once your baby is old enough to sit up and face you.

Stroller
If your baby can sit comfortably in a car seat for infants and is ready to walk on their own, a stroller might be the best choice. Strollers are easy to fold and are small enough to fit in the boot of your car. They have ample storage space to accommodate all of your baby's needs. They also offer the most comfortable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Some models come with a large bassinet to enable naps while traveling.
