Stroller and car seat becomes a necessity to every family having an infant or baby. The conventional foldable stroller is considered as a convenience tool to carry the baby or young child during outdoor activities such as foot traveling and shopping. According to rules and regulations, the car seat must be employed in every vehicle for transporting the baby or young child. Therefore, the stroller and the car seat play the main role for the parents to carry their babies.
