Even before the baby is born, parents begin looking for a safe means of transportation that they can use to move around with their baby in the car, such as a stroller and a car seat. A stroller and a car seat have the same function, which is to transport the baby, but there are several differences between them that can be summarized in three main features: the direction of installation in the car, their weight capacity, and up to what height is each suitable?
Installed in the vehicle only in one direction against the direction of travel.
Installation in the vehicle depends on the model of the seat, so there are three installation options:
- With the direction of travel
- Against the direction of travel
- Can be used in both directions
Minimum weight 2 kg Maximum weight 10 - 18 kg (depending on model)
Minimum weight 2 kg Maximum weight 18 kg There are also models that carry between 23 - 30 kg
Suitable for a baby whose height is between 70 - 80 cm.
Suitable up to 130 cm tall, some models are suitable for children up to 130 cm tall.
In light of the information mentioned above
You see that the safety seat is indeed large in size so that it can be used for years (until the baby is at least 4 years old), but that advantage limits it to use only in the car due to the difficulty of carrying it, while the stroller has the advantage of having a carrying handle that gives it the advantage of being used outside the car as a means of moving the baby.
