Baby travel systems can give you the parent the convenience of buying both an infant car seat and a stroller that in one purchase. This could save you money or cost you more than buying them both separately depending on what you decide to buy. Safety is obviously a concern where babies are involved, but you also need to consider how well the system performs as well as the price tag.

When purchasing any kinds of products sacrificing a bit of quality for a good deal is usually alright. However, with strollers and car seats you must remember that you will be using these items on a daily basis with your child.

If something goes wrong with either of the items or doesn’t work right it will become a daily headache that you simply can’t escape. Keeping that point in mind, that is how (after extensive research) I ranked the top 3 travel systems for babies.

Here is a Brief Buyers Guide of the Top Baby Travel Systems of 2011

1)Chicco Cortina Keyfit 30 Travel System

Price: Approximately $350 (as low as $300 online)

Safety: Excellent

Ease of Use: Excellent

Chicco has done an excellent job of spotting and fixing common problems of other travel systems for babies. Safety was made a high priority as the infant car seat is rated #1 in safety, but the fact that the latches and locking mechanisms work just as well a year from now as they did on the day of purchase is something any parent will appreciate.

2) Safety 1st Accella Sport Travel System

Price: $150-$220

Safety: Excellent

Ease of Use: Good

As the name suggests Safety 1st has been rigorously tested for child safety. You will occasionally run into a latch or button that just does not seem to want to budge, but other than minor annoyances a very well built system that is well worth the price tag.

3) Gracco Quatro Tour Deluxe Travel System

Price: Approximately $260 (as low as $220 online)

Safety: Good

Ease of Use: Good

Despite recalls on some previous models of Gracos infant car seats the Quattro Tour is one of the better travel systems for babies available. Some people have noticed that the recline mechanism has a tendency to stick, but other than that most everything works just as easily as advertised. Nice features at a fair price.

If you have your mind set on purchasing one of the baby travel systems I would have to highly recommend the Chicco Cortina Keyfit 30 Travel System. Safety and ease of use for you the parent has been well thought out and executed with this model. The infant car seat alone was rated #1 for safety which says a lot about Chicco’s continued dedication to child safety in their products.

WARNING Don’t Take Antioxidants

Did You Know…

…that taking high doses of antioxidant supplements — such as beta carotene, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and selenium — does not reduce the risk of acquiring diseases, but has also been shown to be poisonous to the human body and may even increase the risk of death?

 As long ago as the 1950s, antioxidants became known as miracle supplements because they “reportedly” promoted good health and prevented a host of diseases, including cancer

and age-related diseases.  According to some estimates, approximately 50% of the adult population in the U.S. take antioxidants on a daily basis for this reason.

    Here’s a wake-up call:  Every long-term study involving antioxidant supplementation provides proof that people get sicker — not healthier — when they take antioxidants.  In fact,

beta carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin E, taken individually or in combination with other antioxidant supplements, are associated with increased all-cause mortality. [Source:  The

Journal of the American Medical Association - based on 68 randomized trials with 232,606 participants (385 publications).]

     In case you were wondering … this information is not just another propaganda employed by the medical and pharmaceutical industries to prevent people from using natural

therapies, or to deceive people into thinking that drugs are the only solution to disease.

     Over the last several decades, supplement manufacturers (and even health practitioners) have urged people to take large amounts of antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin

E because scientists had observed that people whose diets were rich in fruits and vegetables had a lower incidence of heart disease, diabetes, dementia, stroke and certain types of

cancer.  They formed the hypothesis that since fruits and vegetables are a rich source of antioxidants (which neutralize free radicals in the body), then taking antioxidant

supplements would have the same effect.

  That hypothesis has been proven wrong.  Here’s why:    http://scrnch.me/82ya4

Fruits and vegetables produce antioxidants for good reason — that is, to protect themselves from oxidative stress.  Without antioxidants, oxygen destroys food by combining with

elements and burning them up — hence, vitamin destruction in food (or decay) occurs. 

However, dietary antioxidants have virtually no nutritional benefit to the human body.  Antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and tocopherols, for instance, are not essential nutrients

– and as such, they should not even be called vitamins at all. 

     While antioxidants serve their purpose WITHIN a fruit or vegetable, in the human body, they only disrupt normal oxidative reactions in the cell.  This is why they are dangerous

to consume (except in the minute amounts ingested from food).

     In summary, if you want to stave off disease and premature aging, there is no substitute to eating fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants instead of taking antioxidant 

supplements.     http://scrnch.me/82ya4
