Do I need a travel system?
If you want the newborn car seat to click straight into the stroller, yes — it's the smoothest setup for the first year. Otherwise a full-size stroller with a separate car seat adapter works too.
When can a baby use a regular stroller seat?
Most stroller seats recline flat or near-flat for newborns; if not, use the bassinet attachment or a car seat adapter until baby can sit up (around 6 months).
